I've gone here for valentines, birthdays, date nights & more - it is by far my favourite restaurant in the city!

Cannot recommend the tasting with wine pairing enough, & if you don't want a full course, we've always had amazing custom menus made by waitress Karin that pair beautifully together for an amazing meal.

Damas through & through never disappoints!

Great service from Theo! We also sat at the bar & the bartender Juliette was so kind & friendly to us! She gave us recommendations for bars & delicious cocktails (would recommend their hibiscus cucumber drink).

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.

Meilleur resto de Montréal. Tout est parfait. Je me régale lors de chacune de mes visites. Les petits pains chauds apparaissent même dans mes rêves. Faites confiance aux membres du staff sur leurs recommandations, ils ont toujours de bons conseils. Je suis allée profiter de leur offre pour le brunch & c'est un gros OUI ! C'est gourmand, un peu piquant, rafraîchissant! Des clacs lors de chaque bouchée. En plus, mon verre d'eau est toujours plein même lorsque le resto est bondé ! Je prévois déjà ma prochaine visite.

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!

Je suis allée y souper pour mes 30 ans & j'ai adoré mon expérience ! Le service était excellent, & l'équipe a même adapté la quantité des entrées pour convenir à notre table de cinq. La nourriture était délicieuse & les plats sont vraiment originaux. Je recommande fortement le Friki, l'un des meilleurs plats que j'aie goûtés !

Je recommande sans hésitation!

Exceptional, but too much quantity.

We went with the tasting menu, which was delicious from start to finish, however it was too much. We ended up feeling'full' to the point of not enjoying the last meals/desserts.

Your mileage may varry, but I'd say we're'good eaters' & are generally used to north american meal sizes. But here sadly, it was too much. & we were left wondering if it was worth paying that much (660$ taxes & tips included for 2) for a exceptional menu, that we ended up not appreciating around its end.

So, I would recommend going with'a la carte' items or a more classic menu, rather than the tasting menu.

Otherwise, everything was great.

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.

beautiful syrian restaurant with excellent service! we took the omnivore & pescatarian tasting menu. it was very filling & delicious but nothing extraordinary from the flavors (maybe to someone who is not at all familiar to this palette tho!). a lot of the dishes were lacking salt & one was heavily oversalted. i would recommend this restaurant but not necessarily the tasting menu. my favorite drink was the aleppo sour & my favorite dish - very simple but delicious - the fattouch salad. thank you for the fun birthday experience!

J'ai choisi d'y célébrer mon anniversaire en octobre dernier, avec mes amis & mes proches. Nous étions 16 personnes sur une belle longue table au fond du restaurant (presque comme une salle privée). Nous avons expérimenté la formule brunch de groupe & c'était tout simplement exquis! Les plats à partager étaient copieux & succulents, sans parler de l'excellent service personnalisé obtenu! Merci à toute l'équipe qui a fait de mon anniversaire un moment inoubliable (& merci aussi pour vous avoir occupé de la coupe de mon énorme gâteau). 😀 Je recommande à 100%!

Absolutely fantastic experience, my group had picky people & everybody LOVED every meal. Have the nectar instead of the cocktails, the cocktails are good but the nectars are unique to Damas. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants some fine dining & is interested in Syrian cuisine. There are other cheaper places, but Damas is a different level in terms of quality.

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!

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 ;-)
