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. Les convives louent fréquemment l'ambiance magnifique et élégante, qui sert de cadre chaleureux et accueillant pour des plats à partager tels que l'hummus signature, les tendres carrés d'agneau et les mezzés savoureux. Le service est constamment souligné comme une force majeure, avec un personnel professionnel et compétent qui se surpasse souvent pour garantir une visite mémorable grâce à des conseils avisés sur le menu et une attention constante. Bien que certains clients expriment des avis partagés concernant les prix et la taille des portions, beaucoup considèrent que le coût élevé est justifié par la grande qualité des ingrédients, la complexité du savoir-faire culinaire et l'expérience immersive globale qui incite les habitués à revenir pour des occasions spéciales.
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
One of the best meals I've EVER had & I travel a lot (& I'll try anything). Incredible dishes & impeccable service. I would highly recommend the tasting menu, as it's totally worth the price.
A very enjoyable evening! My husband & I went with two other friends & we all got the tasting menu. Highly recommend! A great way to get a taste of everything & it was all delicious.
Elegantly catered from the door sill to until we exited once again. Exquisite food & wine but following an unscheduled event will demonstrate how Damas employees care for their customers beyond the great ambiance & the menu. After returning home I had a call from Damas Staff telling me they found my wife's wallet (which was not the case), the staff diligently looked at wallet owners lady's last name & went through their guest list to find someone with the identical last name. Smart, delicate I highly recommend !
First time here & already cannot wait to be back. Both food & service were outstanding. Our dishes were bursting with flavour. As for our waiter George, truly attentive & helpful with recommendations. The whole staff gave exceptional service. I highly recommend Damas, you will not be disappointed.
