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.
Dans l'ensemble, Damas est perçu comme une expérience culinaire syrienne haute en couleur et en saveurs, avec un menu riche et varié qui met en valeur mezzés, agneau et fruits de mer, servi dans une ambiance élégante et chaleureuse et un service attentif et professionnel. La cuisine est largement louée pour sa maîtrise, ses présentations soignées et ses associations audacieuses qui rendent chaque plat riche et équilibré. Le cadre et les cocktails, y compris les options sans alcool et les accords mets et vins, rehaussent l'ensemble et conduisent beaucoup à considérer l'expérience comme digne d'une soirée spéciale. Cependant, certains avis évoquent le prix élevé et des portions parfois inégales selon le plat, ainsi que des retards ou un service qui peut sembler inégal en période d'affluence. Malgré ces réserves, Damas demeure une adresse majeure de Montréal que beaucoup recommandent vivement pour découvrir une cuisine syrienne sophistiquée et profiter d'un moment convivial et raffiné.
This restaurant is one you must go to if you're visiting Montréal. Everything about our experience here was remarkable. The ambiance, the decor, & the music do an impressive job of immersing you into your meal. Our waitress was so sweet, & made great recommendations. The restaurant is share style, so we ordered 5 dishes for the 4 of us. We started with the Pastirma & Fattouch Salad, both bursting with flavour. Our final dishes of Grilled Halloumi, Samke Harra, & Pistachio Fried Kibbeh were all delectable. We will definitely be coming back when we're in town again!
Imagine the feeling when an European conqueror found asian spices for the first time. That's the same when eating at this place. Food is insanely good. Beautiful decor & the staff is really really nice & agreeable.

It was a wonderful experience at Damas. The starters, & main course were indeed mouthwatering & tastiest food that I've ever tried in Montreal. The service was great & professional. It's a must try restaurant!
It's a gorgeous restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere. We ordered the tasting menu & we're not disappointed! Everything tasted fresh & the flavors were great. It's alot of food so ordering your favorite at bigger portions is also a great idea! You can't really go wrong! Enjoy!
Knocking two stars. One for the pricing - hummus with chicken shouldn't cost 45 CAD. Nor should a samka harra be 110 CAD. Second star knocked off for the decor & atmosphere. The restaurant aims to be high-end while the interior is confusing - the lights are moroccan, the tiles generic, nothing says syrian. No pictures or items from its regions (aleppo, latakia, homs, etc). what pushes the rating is the service & quality of food.
The service at Damas is one of the best service I have seen. The waitress was awesome, full of energy & provided good suggestions. Appetizers were awesome! Entrees were so-so but the whole experience was awesome!
I will start by saying that we've heard nothing but rave reviews about Damas & have had this restaurant on our list for a while. However, when you're paying over $500 for a meal, we were expecting to be wowed & were not. We chose the tasting menu & although the food was very good, it was frankly not worth the price point. Some courses were extremely simple with one dimensional flavour (ex: the olives, the fattoush salad) Also, we were charged for tea during the dessert, which we found odd to not have been already included in the tasting menu at $160 per person. The most disappointing part was definitely the service. The servers seemed very out of sync, always getting in each others way & knocking things at our table on two separate occasions. They also took our plates away while we were still eating, which completely surprised me. It felt very rushed & tarnished the experience. We were also not given bread when we noticed all other tables had, & had to ask for some. Overall, there was a level of refinement & depth of flavour missing for us, especially at this price point & compared to other iconic restaurants in Montreal. We will not be returning.
Came here in April with my gf for my birthday dinner & was the best restaurant experience Ive had ! The tasting menu was extremely delicious & the sommelier who came by with our sparkling wine was also very amicable.

Personnellement je trouve ce restaurant sur-côté. On en a tellement entendu parler qu'on s'est laissé convaincre que le prix serait justifié. La nourriture y est bonne & le service très bien mais absolument rien d'exceptionnel. & l'ambiance n'y est pas intimiste comme on aurait pu le penser. Le restaurant est super grand, donc super bruyant. Je pense que ce restaurant surf sur le fait qu'il y a peu de standard & que les gens payent n'importe quoi à n'importe quel prix. On en resort pour 400$ à deux pour le menu dégustation. C'est bien cuisiné certes, mais c'est juste normal. Ce n'est pas non plus une expérience culinaire digne d'un restaurant gastronomique, c'est pourtant le même prix. C'est plutôt décevant pour nous.
Bon restaurant mais rapport qualité prix bien trop onéreux pour les plats apportés. Service à améliorer & ambiance plus chaleureuse, moins bruyante avec une petit musique de fond ne serait pas de refus Pour un restaurant qui se veut gastronomique il y a des progrès à faire
Back in the day, I would have given a million stars to this restaurant. In fact, it should have been almost Michelin level. We had tried the tasting menu, & every single bite was spectacular, & the prices were much more reasonable. Last night, we returned expecting that same level of deliciousness, but it was just good, not amazing, nothing special. We had 2 apps (Hummus & Mouhammara), & 2 mains (Sea bass - lacked flavor but was cooked nicely - & Lamb dumplings). The best thing was the Mouhammara, & the rum Polo. I was disappointed to find the taste extremely lacking compared to my previous experience, & the prices had skyrocketed. What you get for what you pay just doesn't add up anymore. I'm sorry to say, but that was my last experience dining at Damas.
