Damas est largement reconnu comme une destination exceptionnelle pour la cuisine syrienne et levantine à Montréal, souvent loué pour ses plats vibrants aux épices maîtrisées et son atmosphère raffinée. De nombreux convives soulignent que le menu dégustation est une façon mémorable de découvrir une variété de saveurs authentiques, du fattouch signature au houmous en passant par les succulentes grillades, le tout servi dans un cadre haut de gamme magnifiquement décoré. Bien qu'une majorité de clients décrive le service comme impeccable, chaleureux et hautement professionnel, il existe des mentions occasionnelles de rythme inconstant ou d'insatisfaction concernant le rapport qualité-prix. Malgré des avis divergents sur les prix et la taille des portions, le restaurant demeure une recommandation de premier plan pour les grandes occasions, de nombreux visiteurs saluant l'attention et les connaissances approfondies du personnel.
Damas is a famed Montreal restaurant that is hyped to be the best Syrian spot in town. The warm decor, beautiful lights, & upscale nature really makes this a place for special occasions. My friend was able to book us a table for a late night meal about a month in advance. They absolutely get booked up so if you want a table, be sure to plan ahead & make that reservation. Menu items are meant to be shared family style. As a vegan, it was admittedly hard for me to really justify ordering anything sharable that others would want given how pricy everything is on the menu. The two mezzes we had including the Fattoush Salad & their Hummus were already $50 for those alone, so you can imagine how high everything else would have been added up. I enjoyed the salad & its use of fresh ingredients, along with the hummus (which was by no means the best, but a solid hummus nonetheless). I really liked the circular pita that they provided with the hummus as it made for a great dipping mechanism for all of us. I don't think it's worth the price/value for someone that is plant based, despite them having options like grilled vegetables & what appeared to be a heartier legume dish. I think the price for these dishes is what get me so I can't in good faith absolutely recommend it unless you are someone that consumes animal products. With that said, the experience was great & I am very grateful to have even been a part of a meal with great company.
Very nice decoration of the restaurant, the ambiance & atmosphere is relaxing, it gets packed & is full, busy, but the service is fast & efficient, the real garlic sauce, the hummus, the quality of the food is remarkable & a good way to experience this type of gastronomy. Recommended spot.
This was our first experience at Damas as we were recommended it by friends & we were not disappointed. With this price point (It was a birthday celebration so we splurged), we had very high expectations. However, from my first phone calls to ensure a nice table, to the drinks, the incredible food & the impeccable service, we were truly overjoyed with our experience. We enjoyed the tasting menu & were so thankful for, not only the presentation of this truly gastronomic experience, but also the equally amazing service & explanations of each dish. (We ended up having 1 principal server & 3 other servers ensuring that our evening was unfolding well & that we were well taken care of throughout our evening!). They were very conscious of a dietary restriction & ensured that it was addressed at each tasting. Bravo to the service team & chefs at Damas! Highly recommended & looking forward to our next experience there soon!

Une des meilleures tables à Montréal. Mets raffinés goûteux & imaginatifs. Cuisson parfaite & présentation impeccable. Superbe décor. Ambiance chaleureuse & peu bruyante. Verrerie, couverts & coutellerie superbes & irréprochables. Service amical, attentionné & rapide. Menu dégustation avec accord mets & vins fortement recommandé. C'est très cher mais ça vaut chaque dollar.
This place is one of the best I have visited for supper. It is a quintessential part of your trip to Montréal! I recommend the bar for the ambiance & the atmosphere. Music was perfect, food was fantastic & service impeccable. This one is a must for Quebec! It will be a regular go to for me going forward
One of the best restaurants in Montreal, & hands-down the best Syrian restaurant I've had the pleasure of dining in outside of Syria itself. The service was impeccable- very helpful & professional staff. I highly recommend the Bargylus wine.
I'm usually not a person who leaves reviews good or bad but THIS RESTAURANT kept making me speechless every single time honestly the best Syrian/ middle eastern food i ever had better than homemade this aside THE SERVICE they were explaining every single thing & making sure everything was as we like. The atmosphere was so beautiful taking me back to old Damascus overall worth every dollar 100% recommended dear owner & your crew you guys are doing amazing!! Thank you for the experience
