Damas est largement reconnu comme une destination exceptionnelle pour la cuisine syrienne et levantine à Montréal, souvent loué pour ses plats vibrants aux épices maîtrisées et son atmosphère raffinée. De nombreux convives soulignent que le menu dégustation est une façon mémorable de découvrir une variété de saveurs authentiques, du fattouch signature au houmous en passant par les succulentes grillades, le tout servi dans un cadre haut de gamme magnifiquement décoré. Bien qu'une majorité de clients décrive le service comme impeccable, chaleureux et hautement professionnel, il existe des mentions occasionnelles de rythme inconstant ou d'insatisfaction concernant le rapport qualité-prix. Malgré des avis divergents sur les prix et la taille des portions, le restaurant demeure une recommandation de premier plan pour les grandes occasions, de nombreux visiteurs saluant l'attention et les connaissances approfondies du personnel.
I came from Toronto specifically to visit Damas because of its reputation. The restaurant itself is beautiful, & the atmosphere is definitely one of its strongest points. Parking, however, was difficult to find.
As a Lebanese person, I was most excited about the food, but unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations. Nothing we ordered had that'wow' factor or memorable taste that would justify the prices. The portions were also quite small for what we paid.
For a table of four, without ordering any meat dishes or alcohol, our bill came to over $500. In my opinion, there are many other Lebanese & Middle Eastern restaurants that offer better food & larger portions for half the price.
It feels like Damas is selling the name & the overall experience more than the food itself. While I can appreciate the ambiance, it wasn't enough to justify the cost for me. Unfortunately, this was a $500 lesson, & I won't be returning.
The decor & ambiance was beautiful
The food was absolutely delicious
The service was truly 5 star & a special thank you to Theo for taking care of our Halal dietary needs & making sure we were correctly informed for each dish.

We visited Damas for the first time last week, & it completely lived up to its reputation. Syrian cuisine has always been my favorite, & this restaurant took it to another level. The food was exceptional, & the service was outstanding. The waiters & sommelier were very knowledgeable & helped make the experience even more enjoyable.
A special thank you to Mark, the manager, who was kind & accommodating in finding us a great table on their beautiful terrace. I highly recommend Damas & will definitely be back.
I went there with my husband. We tried the shared menu. My biggest disappointment overall was the cost versus what you got. In reality it costs $200 a person for a type of small raw beef appetizer, one shrimp, one piece of beef, I kafta meat ball & a small dessert. You also got a salad with some dips which was tbh my favourite part but the cost did not suit what you got to be honest. The shrimp dish was very fishy, kafta glaze was very good, kafta was ok, beef also was not my favourite dish but really good presentation.
If you go here I would at least not recommend that shared menu. Beautiful place though, great decor, the salad, baba ghanouj was on point, love the homemade pita. Great staff
My favourite restaurant in Montréal - & it never disappoints.
We visited Damas for a special Mother's Day brunch, & the experience was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The set menu was thoughtfully curated - each dish felt intentional, beautifully presented, & full of flavour. Everything we tasted was delicious.
The service is truly impeccable. The staff strike that perfect balance of warmth & professionalism that's increasingly rare, & it made the occasion feel genuinely special.
Damas has been my go-to restaurant in the city for good reason - the food, the atmosphere, & the hospitality consistently deliver at the highest level. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in Montréal, this is the one.
Don't miss this restaurant!!! Easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is joyous, the service & the food was absolutely outstanding-but it was John who made the evening truly unforgettable-he is EXPERT!!! All his recommendations were exceptional. I'm amazed that even though this restaurant is busy & well known, it always felt like an experience curated just to you-honestly, it's rare to find such attention to detail, extraordinary meals & beautiful service.
I'm already looking forward to my next visit. If you are in Montreal, Damas is an absolute must!
Amazing!! Came here for dinner with my husband while visiting Montreal & everything about our experience was wonderful! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful & the service was fantastic. We ordered the tasting menu & every dish was delicious. You can tell how much thought & care is put into creating each dish. I am not the most familiar with Syrian food but our servers kindly explained each dish to us which made it very accessible & informative. Each server we interacted with was incredibly kind & attentive. & I can't emphasize enough how good the meal was. I would very highly recommend visiting Damas!
The food was so comforting & delicious.
Really well made, bold flavours & definitely bigger portions than we expected.
Very beautifully decorated, great service as expected.
We usually order dessert but we were so full that we decided to go back another day to try that menu out.
Overall, very good experience. Would definitely come back!
We went to Damas to celebrate a birthday this weekend & had such a wonderful lunch. We were lucky enough to have the incredible Tessie as our waitress. Her warm energy, beautiful personality & friendly suggestions made our first experience at Damas nothing short of amazing. We decided to go for a 3 course meal because we absolutely wanted dessert, but we would've easily been more than satisfied with 2 courses as the portions are extremely generous. We started with their akawi & lamb fatayer, as well as their lamb kibbeh nayyeh, had the ribeye with the ottoman eggs & the shish taouk for our main courses & for dessert (there's always room for dessert!) we chose the halva french toast as well as the classic halawet el jebn. The presentation of every plate was breathtaking, as you can see below. The flavours are so well thought out, the meat was seasoned & cooked to perfection & their crispy potatoes will have you pushing your limits for one more bite. The most surprising part for me was that, despite the very generous portions, we didn't even get a to go box because of how good the food was. It's one of those places you're planning your next visit before you even finish eating. It's really THAT good.
