Overall it was a negative experience but I will break it down:

The service was fantastic. All the staff from the lady who checked us in to our server were very accommodating & friendly. They explained the food options & took care of us. However, everything else about our experience was bad.

The food was average. Nothing special. The server highly recommended the tasting menu so that is what we ordered. Unfortunately that was the wrong decision. All the serving sizes were small. The taste was ok. It was overhyped by the server so we thought it was going to be good but we did not like it. You get the same food at a regular supermarket.

The restaurant was noisy & very dimly lit. Everyone around us was using their phone flashlight to look at the menu. We had the same urge but we knew it was too distracting so we resisted it.

The worst part & the thing that ruined our night was the bill. It was unbelievably expensive. Way to high & not worth the experience we received. It was insanely overpriced & we just felt tricked.

$200+ per person is insane. Google Reviews does not even have that option in its system haha. The maximum you can tap is'$100+' & we had to pay more than twice that amount for a bad experience.

This was my first time at Damas, the service was exceptional & the food tasted amazing. I ordered the lamb chop, the octopus & the kebabs. I highly recommend the octopus for seafood lovers & the lamb chops because it was the star of the evening. Over all the everything was delicious as well as a great experience.

We had a great evening at Damas Restaurant. The food was excellent. We ordered baba ghanoush & fattoush as appetizers, & filet mignon & a lamb dish for the main course - everything was delicious & perfectly cooked.

It was Yalda Night, an Iranian celebration of the longest night of the year, so we asked for a red drink to celebrate. They brought us a lovely red beverage, which made the evening even more special.
Highly recommended!

You'll read a lot of mixed opinions about this restaurant, but honestly-aside from the price-don't pay attention to the noise. This is a high-end restaurant, & the quality & execution of the food are truly unique. I've tried many Lebanese & Syrian restaurants, & to this day, nothing beats Damas. The food is outstanding; it's one of the best restaurants in Montreal. The fact that reservations are so hard to get isn't hype-people genuinely love the food here.

If you're wondering what to wear, opt for something nice & elegant. I've been there on Mondays & even then you'll see corporate guests in suits & ties.

For first-timers, I highly recommend the tasting menu. You get a little bit of everything, & it's very filling. I've tried almost the entire menu, & honestly, every single dish is excellent.

Street parking is available, but there's no valet.

I recently dined at Damas Restaurant, & it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Although it is on the expensive side, it's absolutely worth it. The quality of the food was exceptional-every dish was rich in flavor & beautifully presented. The drinks were just as impressive, crafted with great care.
The service was excellent as well; our waiter was attentive, friendly, & made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Overall, Damas delivers a top-tier dining experience, & I highly recommend it for anyone looking for outstanding food & service.

Went for my birthday & it was a superb experience. Highly recommend the tasting menu, it's very generous & it makes you taste a little bit of everything! Service was great, our waiter was super kind & knowledgeable & the bussers always kept our water glasses full & cleaned our table between each plate. Excellent cocktails too!

Tonight was a wonderful birthday experience at Damas!
Everything was exceptional-from the service to the food. Our server, Nick, was amazing & made the night feel special. He surprised me with a heavenly piece of baklava topped with a candle, which was such a thoughtful touch.
The seabass was bursting with flavor, & the filet mignon was cooked to perfection. The drinks were fantastic too-especially the vibrant green one Nick recommended (a great choice!).

Thank you, Damas, for making my birthday so memorable. We'll definitely be back & highly recommend this place to everyone!

Service was excellent. Our server Emil was very knowledgeable & kind & provided great recommendations without us asking. We did the tasting menu & they were very accommodating of the vegetarian diet. My meal was just as elaborate & thoughtfully done as the meat dishes & they even accommodated the no egg requirement. That is usually not the case. Each course was excellent & better than the previous course…all up until the dessert. We had told them it was our anniversary & they brought a plate with a deconstructed panna cotta & lemon coolie of sorts, with some crushed up chocolate cookie on top. It was so basic & underwhelming compared to the other dishes in the tasting menu. It sounded like the desserts rotated so guess it wasn't our lucky day. Price is definitely on the higher end but I guess you're paying for the creativity & presentation. Overall an awesome meal & I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Very impressed with our experience. Service was friendly & felt genuine & effortless. Really good. Drinks & food were memorable. Space was beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Got the fattoush salad (good but not iconic like they would imply) , lamb kibbeh (loved this), lamb rack & chicken kebab both very good flavor. Excellent accompaniments. Great pitas.

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Damas truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top restaurants in the city. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm & inviting-elegant without being pretentious. The service was attentive & thoughtful, making us feel genuinely cared for throughout the meal.

The food? Exceptional. The variety & freshness of the dips, the perfectly grilled octopus, the tender & flavorful shish taouk chicken-all served with warm, fluffy pitas that we couldn't get enough of. Every bite was rich with bold, balanced flavors that spoke to the quality & authenticity of the cuisine.

It's no surprise this place is so highly rated. I'm beyond impressed & would recommend Damas to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

It was a consensus amongst the 4 of us from out of town that dined at this highly recommended restaurant last night, that this was not just a meal, this was an experience. One of the BEST meals we have had...ever. 2 cousins, both saying there is no way you can match our Grandmother's cooking, & both from food service backgrounds agreed that it was one of the most memorable food experiences. Ever. From the impeccable service to the meal suggestions to the food, we are still full, happy & talking about when we will come back next! Worth the flight to Montreal

this place is most definitely overhyped, now the food is good but the price point is not justifiable & it didnt feel like authentic arabic food felt more like fusion. Would highly recommend the cheese puffs & the mouhamara, they give you unlimited fresh pita which is nice, service is very good, its a big restaurant with alot of room & is kid friendly, no parking though
