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.View more

From the moment we walked into Damas, we knew we were about to embark on something special-but nothing could have prepared us for just how exceptional the experience would be. We have tried the tasting menu & it was absolutely the perfect choice!
The ambiance is warm & enchanting, beautifully combining elegance with the rich cultural essence of Syria. The soft lighting, the detailed décor, & the welcoming atmosphere set the perfect stage for an evening to remember.
But let's talk about the food-because this is where Damas truly shines. Every single dish was a masterpiece, crafted with such depth, authenticity, & care that we felt transported to the heart of Damascus. From the tender, aromatic lamb dishes to the vibrant & perfectly balanced mezze, every bite told a story. The flavors were bold yet refined, traditional yet elevated, & undeniably delicious. You could taste the passion & heritage in every element of the meal.
Special thanks to Alexander who guided us through the menu & made us feel at home throughout the evening. His hospitality added a personal touch that elevated the experience from amazing to unforgettable.
Damas has truly mastered the art of Syrian cuisine, blending tradition with fine dining in a way that few can. We left feeling full, grateful, & already planning our next visit.
Thank you, Damas, for an extraordinary night of food, culture, & warmth. You've set the gold standard for Middle Eastern dining in Montreal.View more

J'ai grandi avec cette cuisine, belle place & je reconnais que les viandes sont délicieuses les entrées un mélange de moyens à bon sans plus. mais rien ne justifie le prix que vous payez à la sortieView more

Nous étions 2 & avons pris des menus dégustation à 160 dollars.
En toute honnêteté, nous sommes déçus. La nourriture était bonne, joliment présente mais il n'y avait pas de wow, pas de justification pour les 160 dollars. Il n'y avait pas de boissons, le thé était pas offert.. vraiment ça aurait été moins cher ça serait un 5 étoiles. Mais ça ne vaut pas son prix..
La salle était vraiment très bruyante..
cependant le service était parfait, les serveurs étaient souriant, à l'écoute & toujours prêt à débarrasser, resservir ou donner conseil! On a jamais attendus entre les services, ils ont été rapide & efficace , toujours avec une petite explication sur le repas qu'ils servent ! Je pourrais y retourner, mais sûrement pas pour le menu dégustation : le prix à revoir !View more

First time trying Syrian food, & it was an interesting experience to see an elevated take on the cuisine. The flavors were good & enjoyable, though it felt like something was missing. Maybe we just needed to order more dishes to get the full experience. Definitely try the mushroom hummus; it's fantastic!View more

Accidentally was in Montreal during F1 weekend, but thought why not check out the F1'themed' tasting menu. We had a wonderful dinner & enjoyed the teamwork from all the staff in keeping dinner moving. Scallop crudo with caviar, kunafa shrimp, fattouch salad, & pastirma were some of the faves! & wow, really enjoyed the Aleppo Sour 🍸!View more
