Venez vous joindre à nous pour une soirée syrienne enchantée dans le cœur chic et gastronomique d'Outremont, sur l'avenue Van Horne. Au Restaurant Damas, un microcosme au confort unique vous accueillera avec des couleurs chaudes, des velours, du bois sculpté et des lumières multicolores.
Les avis présentent Damas comme une expérience culinaire montréalaise remarquable, réputée pour ses saveurs syriennes riches, son pain pita maison frais et ses mezzés généreux qui incluent des plats comme l'agneau, le poulpe, le fattoush et les kebabs, le menu dégustation et les accords mets et vins étant souvent mis en avant comme une expérience à ne pas manquer. L'ambiance est décrite comme chaleureuse, élégante et intime, et le service est généralement attentif et professionnel, avec un excellent programme de boissons en harmonie avec la cuisine. Certaines personnes remettent en question le rapport qualité-prix, notant des prix élevés et des portions variables, et quelques expériences mentionnent des retards ou des oublis en période d'affluence. Le brunch est également salué pour sa palette et sa fusion Est-Ouest, faisant de Damas une institution à Montréal pour ceux qui cherchent une expérience gastronomique mémorable ou à découvrir d'autres plats du menu.
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...
Been wanting to come for years but there was never any resos available when I was in town. Finally tried it & must say, super tasty. Syrian food is packed with flavour & delicious. Even for a high end resto I was a bit surprised by some of the prices versus what I received but kind of used to it from living in Toronto. I would still go again to try more items.
Finally trying Damas, the famous upscale Syrian restaurant in Montreal! I've heard about this place since I was still at McGill, but unfortunately never had the chance to try. I was surprised to see how big the restaurant was; it seemed to span the entire block, & seemed like it took up the space of three restaurants.
While the taste was good, I didn't think it was anything spectacular; nothing tasted elevated or luxurious. It was overpriced & tasting menu items were simply olives or salads or just something small. I wouldn't recommend this place simply because of the price.
Insanely expensive for what it is. Don't get the'tasting menu' it's a scam. It's just a prix fixe family style menu & wildly overpriced.
$570 (incl tip) for 3 people 3 drinks. .
Salad, 2 dips, 2 cheese apps, 6 pieces of grilled chicken (nuggets) 3 pieces rack of lamb, ice cream dessert. Insane price for what it is.
Too many servers attending your table is annoying not nice. Go to Le Violon for a
beautiful meal & much less money.
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.

Hello, we went to eat Sunday for Mother's day the food spectacular like always but the bus girl that was working in our section wow she needs a lot of training we felt like we were bothering her didn't wait for us to finish before removing the dishes, clean the table with the rag like saying leave.
Very disappointed
Your restaurant it's not MacDonald neither is the price of the food
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
1st time there was hesitant on type of food being Italian but got to say it was excellent table of 4 we shared all the food service was outstanding & price was fai

Service was excellent - efficient, friendly, prompt & non invasive. Small hiccup when I asked for a latte at the end & they brought me a Turkish coffee.
Ambiance was nice - lighting, & music were peaceful. Adequate space. Not too loud. You feel very far away from the person on the other side of the table though.
Food was good, not great. Fresh & some plates were creative, but not remotely worth the price. Cost was straight up blasphemous.
Two tasters menues with a coffee costing almost 500 $ is beyond comprehensible to me- especially for the quantity.
It makes me sad to write this but it was three years since my last visit & the quality & generosity seems to have decreased substantially. For the price of the tasting menu the portions are really disappointing & our group left feeling ripped off. For $500 including 2 cocktails & tip, we expected a lot more.
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.
The place is more than amazing , the food , the service , the ambience & atmosphere . I really , really enjoyed the restaurant & it was totally worth the price . I will definitely come back . Thank you to all the Damas team !
First visit: Feb 2025. Great food, horrible pricing
The good: amazing food & service. We tried the 5 course tasting menu for 3. We had everything from salad, lamb, to fish & more.
Overall the flavors are really good & the staff was amazing.
The not so good: the olives were very salty & the kibe (?) Was mushy & not good at all.
The $22 drink was good but very small. The small pieces of rack of lamb were cooked well but not seasonsed too well.
the pricing was $160 per person. For the amount of food we were offered, this was easily 2x more than it should have been.
We understand the cost of running a business & the value of good food & service, but $22 for a very small drink & $160 per person when 1 course was literally & egg with cheese & a slice of charcuterie & the last course was a few small pieces of baclava. The pricing was not on par with what was served.
I am not usually this picky but for this price. I am going over every little detail...
Satisfied with the flavors & service but not for nearly $600 with the tax & tip.
For the price point, this experience was extremely disappointing. The food was good, not great. The server was friendly but the overall service was not at the quality expected for the price point. Food took too long to come so by the second course we were too full & had to cancel our remaining order. The end of the evening was the most disappointing as their dessert menu was absolutely not up to par, no pastries or cakes, just ice cream ($20 ice cream!!!) or baclava. Absolutely shocking to be paying that much for what you get. I would never recommend this restaurant. You will eat much better food at a hole in the wall falafel place.
We had dinner for two here & were apprehensive about price when looking at their online menu. Every dish we had was beautifully presented & was made with fresh & savory ingredients. Service was very attentive & unrushed. Seating was comfortable & environment very inviting. Yes this meal with be more expensive than at the average middle eastern restaurant in Montreal, but this is most certainly not your average middle eastern restaurant by any means.
