Damas est largement reconnu comme une destination culinaire de premier plan à Montréal, offrant une expérience gastronomique syrienne exceptionnelle, caractérisée par des saveurs authentiques vibrantes et une présentation soignée.

Damas was quite the experience.
Take a look at the pictures for an impression of the ornate interior.
Lots of love in every detail.
But of course the food is the star, once you have made peace with the price tag of $160 for the six course (9 items) tasting menu, which gives you an amazing tour of Syrian flavors as interpreted by Damas.
Everyone of these comes with a thorough description by the server that gives you the details.
I discovered something I had never tasted before, a caper berry I thought was a pickled pepper.
I'm not a food expert & this was unforgettable. Try a smoked cocktail, which you can also get without alcohol.
Our server, Nick, was a local foodie who happily answered my hundred questions. At the end he gave us a list of recommendations for other places to try, for experiencing the amazing Montreal food scene.
Come & be impressed!
BRUNCH. We ate dinner here one night & brunch 2 days later. The front of house & the wait staff were amazing both visits. Very friendly, just as helpful, & food recommendations that were extremely enjoyable & right on point. As amazing as the entire series experience is the food is even still the star. The flavors are creative & well put together. I highly recommend this place if you eat, & you're in Montreal, you need to try it!
I wish I took more pictures of the food but it was just that good we couldn't be bothered.
We had the tasting menu & really enjoyed it. There was a generous amount of food, unique flavors, & everything tasted great. The only downside was that some parts of the culinary experience weren't explained very clearly & felt a bit rushed, especially when multiple dishes arrived at once. Overall, it was a great experience, & I'd definitely return for the food & atmosphere.
In town with our in-laws & Damas was nothing short of perfection. The menu is designed for sharing, allowing everyone at the table to experience an incredible variety of flavors, & every dish exceeded expectations.
From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. Our host, who appeared to be the manager, was warm, welcoming, professional, & genuinely helpful. As restaurant owners ourselves, one of the things that stood out most was the culture of the team. Every single person in the restaurant seemed engaged, focused, & busy. No one was standing around-everyone was contributing to the guest experience & working together seamlessly.
Nick, our server, was excellent, knowledgeable, & helped guide us through the menu. But the true standout of the evening was Mac. His attention to detail was on another level. He kept our table impeccably maintained throughout the entire meal, anticipating needs before they arose, clearing & resetting with perfect timing, & ensuring everything remained spotless & organized. The dining room was busy, yet he never missed a beat. As fellow operators, we know how rare it is to find someone who takes that much pride in their craft. Mac was a major part of what made the evening so memorable.
Exceptional food, exceptional hospitality, & an exceptional team. Damas is a special place & a masterclass in how great restaurants should operate.
