Couldn't say anything bad about Damas. The ambiance is incredible & the restaurant has so many cool details throughout. We loved the cold Mezze, shrimp, the braised lamb, & chicken dish. Everything blew us away. The flavor, presentation, & creativity is unmatched in Montréal. In addition our waiter Diego was extremely professional, kind, & knowledgeable on the food & wine. We loved the tea to end the dinner as well

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.

Damas offers a brunch experience that is as curated as it is flavorful, blending influences from both Eastern & Western cultures for a unique culinary adventure. The restaurant operates on a set-price menu, starting at $55, with additional charges depending on your selections. While it would be nice to see an a la carte option, the structured menu ensures each dish is thoughtfully prepared & cohesive.

The coffee is a standout, beautifully brewed & aromatic, setting the stage for the meal ahead. The dishes themselves are vibrant, richly spiced, & layered with flavor, making for a wonderful introduction to Syrian cuisine. Each bite is carefully balanced, showcasing both boldness & nuance without ever feeling overwhelming.

The ambiance enhances the experience: warm wood tones, magical lighting, & cozy decor create a welcoming & almost enchanting atmosphere that complements the food beautifully.

Overall, Damas delivers a brunch that is flavorful, memorable, & culturally immersive. For those seeking a thoughtful introduction to Syrian cuisine with a touch of cross-cultural flair, it's a satisfying & elevated way to spend the morning.

We ordered the three most popular dishes - Fattouch salad, shish taouk (chicken) & rack of lamb. With several cocktails.

Let's start with the good. The cocktails are some of the best we've ever had before. We sat at the bar (I recommend) & were delighted by a performance of drinks on display. We had the Aleppo gin sour & the cherry sour & both were an absolute delight. Very well balanced, better than drinks at most exclusive cocktail bars in town, all using fresh juices & herbs. Truly a first class experience, much thanks to the bartender Amjad who saved the night for us for what was otherwise a very lackluster experience.

My fiancée had a reaction in her mouth to the fattouch salad where the roof of her mouth was burning but as far as she knows she has no food allergies.
The chicken was good, juicy & flavorful. I would recommend this dish. The rack of lamb was severely charred (beyond maillard reaction to pyrolysis) causing it to taste bitter & we only were able to eat a fraction of it. This is caused by cooking above 180C & the difference is instead of browning, simply burning the meat. Such a shame on such a beautiful piece of meat!

Other problems are the wait times. This is a very big restaurant with clearly a smaller kitchen that can't keep up. We were often waiting in excess of 20-30 minutes between each dish for the next to show up. Also, as many reviewers noted for the quality of the food the prices do not justify.

I would honestly only return to have their amazing cocktails. Unfortunately otherwise we were disappointed.

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!

Just visiting Montreal & enjoyed my stay at Damas. I wanted to support Syrian fine dining cuisine experience as I have not experienced something like this in Toronto.

Pricey restaurant but honestly flavors & textures were incredible. My favorite was the lamb dumplings. Great fantastic service as well. Everything went very well together it was very intentional when preparing the meal & menus. Will definitely return when back in the city God willing!

My wife & I went here on our honeymoon & the tasting menu was one of the highlights of our entire trip. There was a lamb dish so good that it literally made me laugh with delight. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was so lovely, the food was UNREAL. They've also got a lovely drink menu, & their mocktail options are just as tasty as their cocktails. If you're in Montreal this is a spot you should not miss.

Nous avons opté pour le menu dégustation & l'expérience a été exceptionnelle du début à la fin. Le service était attentif & chaleureux, avec des explications précises qui ajoutaient encore plus de valeur à chaque assiette. L'ambiance complète parfaitement l'expérience culinaire. Je recommande sans hésitation!

All the dishes here were excellent. A nice more upscale take on Syrian food. The dip trio was delicious along with the lamb dumplings & short rib.

Excellent food, but average at best atmosphere
& the decor is simple, busy & casual. The Location is Within the poor edge of Outremont, & the parking is very difficult
You come here just for the good food, not for the ambiance
this is not a luxurious elegant restaurant.

Je ne sais pas par où commencer tellement j'ai de bonnes choses à dire! Premièrement WOW! J'ai eu le privilège d'être présente au BRUNCH aujourd'hui pour l'anniversaire d'une grande amie à moi. J'ai été charmé par l'endroit avec une décoration sublime, une ambiance intime pour l'occasion mais surtout un service IMPECCABLE, le serveur était professionnel, il nous a fait d'excellentes recommandations! Je peux dire que nous avons été servis avec excellence. La nourriture? WOW WOW WOW! C'était d'une fraîcheur inouïe. Une belle découverte de saveurs & des présentations alléchante. J'ai adoré mon expérience & je recommande vivement ce restaurant. Réserve tôt pour des grand groupe ;-)

Visited Damas with high expectations, but left disappointed. Cold mezzas were decent, meat platter lacked flavor. Overpriced for the quality. Service was pleasant, & ambiance nice, but overall didn't live up to the hype

What an absolute gem of a place. We sat in the terrasse next to the heater. We had the makdous fattah (with lamb meat), appetizer mezza platter, shish taouk. Everything was on point & tasted freshly & authentic. The portions were generous. Service was great. It is the best kind of'fine dining' I would have hoped for. Beautiful.

I've had this restaurant on my radar for quite some time, so I came in with high expectations. While the overall experience was pleasant, the food itself fell a little short. The atmosphere is beautiful. Service was equally impressive. As for the food, we tried the salad, hummus shawarma, cheese kunafa, lamb kebab, & a cocktail. The lamb was the biggest disappointment-it came across as meat in an overly dominant tomato sauce, with little depth or seasoning. The meat itself was tender, but the dish was just lacking!! After the first bite, you could tell I was disappointed. Everything else we ordered was good. The flavors were there but nothing stood out for me. We paid about 250$ - At that price point, the food wasn't distinct enough to set this restaurant apart from more affordable options...

Tout était impeccable, je n'ai rien à dire à propos du service, de l'ambiance ou de la nourriture par contre j'ai trouvé que c'était excessivement cher pour ce qui nous est servi. Je recommande quand même de l'essayer une fois ça reste une très bonne adresse!

We went to Damas to celebrate our anniversary & it was such a wonderful experience. We chose the tasting menu, & I really appreciated how the staff explained each dish as it was served - it made the evening feel even more special.

The food was incredible. My absolute favorites were the lamb & the Crevettes Kunafa - both were packed with flavor & perfectly prepared.

The atmosphere is warm yet elegant, & the service was attentive without being overwhelming. Honestly, it was the perfect place for our celebration, & I'd go back without hesitation.
