This place offers incredible customer service that's truly unbelievable. The food is exceptional, the ambiance is top-notch, & I can't praise it enough. Montreal's customer service is already great, but this place takes it to another level. There are so many good things I could say about itView more

Très bel endroit, la nourriture était bonne & les boissons également. Les prix sont assez élevés mais le service est impeccable! Ils ont une table à l’écart si jamais vous voulez plus de discrétion. La décoration est jolie & correspond bien au thème du resto.View more

Ce restaurant a déjà été exceptionnel. Seul les prix le sont restés. C'est bon mais sans plus, le service est correct mais sans plus, les prix sont très élevés.

Nous sommes allés souper au Damas pour la première fois hier & nous n’avons pas été déçus ! Bien que le menu soit dispendieux, tout en valait le prix. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation. La nourriture était plus que délicieuse ! & que dire du service ! Impeccable de l’accueil jusqu’à la sortie. Notre serveur était très gentil & nous a fait de belles recommandations. Nous recommandons assurément cet endroit !View more

Déjà deux fois à Damas, & ce ne sera certainement pas la dernière fois.
Peu de mots suffisent : essayez-le vous-même.
Certes, le prix est élevé, mais cela vaut la peine d'essayer au moins une fois.
Le service est à la hauteur de nos attentes. Je recommande sans aucun doute. La cuisine syrienne a été mon coup de cœur de cette année

Damas in Montreal is a total win. The vibe is warm & inviting, & the food is next-level amazing. The staff really knows their stuff, too. They recommended drinks that perfectly matched our meal. If you're in Montreal, you've got to try this place. Two thumbs up!View more

Le système de réservation en ligne est une fumisterie! Jamais rien avant 21hrs que vous demandiez 10 ou 30 jours à l'avance.

This was my 4th trip to the restaurant, a last minute decision when the wait time for our first choice Haricana was 30 minutes. I was rather surprised that there was room at Damas on a Thursday night.
On the phone I was asked if bar seating was fine, unfortunately my guest had other plans. We got a table in a n area I had never seen before right beyond the bathrooms. Apparently used for groups we learnt later..
The seating area in any other restaurant would have been great, yet it if felt we far from the action & tucked away not to be seen. The room was also quieter which in a sense also diminished the experience found in the main dining area.
My guest I learnt was not a fan of lamb which is probably an item on half the items on the menu. I've often repeated what a waiter mentioned "chicken! you can make chicken at home" so we were left with less options.
I ordered the eggplant salad which to my amazement well appreciated by my guest who after having ordered it also said eggplant was yucchy. This dish however has always been delish. Good ingredients make this dish pop.
We flowed with shrimp which is a generous portion of large shrimp. My guest was impressed with the quantity size & flavour of these crustaceans. She even enjoyed the garnish that surrounded the dish. To my taste the shrimps were too soft not even bite to them, but then again shrimp have never been my favourite. The last dish was a lamb suggestion from the waiter...he went on a limb I guess. It was actually good as the lamb was braised in a tomato based sauce, yet there was a lack of flavour considering the ingredients.
The wine was how can I say this nicely, not worth the price. The restaurant should include some more moderately priced wines with a little more punch.
All in all we had a great evening but I am still looking for that wow factor I experienced my first 2 visits to Damas.
The service was up to snuff & then some

Third time I dined at Damas. On this evening I was with a coworker from out of town & traveled the 20 kilometers to introduce him to this establishment, that is how impressed I was the other 2 times.
The room was described as impressive by my guest who has a background in design. It was also comfortable as the evening was brutally humid & windy.
The staff as usual was attentive, but seemed to be in a hurry to get our order. Possibly just a feeling on my part.
As for the food I must say I was not as impressed. Firstly the freshly baked pita arrived at our table overcooked so hardened very quickly. My guest ordered the humus , which he believed would only be the dip, but our dish also included the lamb which as neither tender nor warm when it arrived. The main was actually quite good although at that point the wine & late evening may have been a factor also.
Don't get me wrong, this is a fine place to dine , on this particular night it simply was less so.

Surement l'un des meilleures restaurant à Montréal, & parmi mes trois ou quatre préférés. La nourriture y est préparée avec amour & ça se goûte. Le services & excellent, vous devez réserver d'avances & la factures sera salé mais il n'y a rien de tel à Montréal côté cuisine moyen oriental, je vous en donne ma parole.
On en redemande. L'atmosphère est relax & nous permet de déguster des merveilles de raffinements. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner. Gâtez-vous un peu, la vie est si courte.

L'une de mes plus belles expériences de restauration, point final.
Je viens tout juste d'arriver du Damas & j'avais hâte de rédiger cette critique pour louanger ce restaurant magnifique dont je n'avais étonnamment pas entendu parler. Or, déjà à la lecture du menu, je salivais devant tous les beaux mélanges de saveurs qui nous attendaient.
À la base, j'étais un peu déçue de n'avoir pu obtenir qu'une réservation au bar, m'étant prise un peu à la dernière minute. Or, je suis convaincue que notre place au bar a contribué grandement à la belle expérience que nous avons vécue.
Si le décor est splendide & la nourriture sublime, je retiens surtout le service tellement agréable & attentionné que nous avons reçu grâce à notamment Juan derrière le bar. Recommandations sur le menu, trois différents shooters offerts durant la soirée les plus délicieux les uns que les autres, rigolade, attention spéciale suite au fait que j'aie mentionné que nous soulignons un anniversaire, nous avons été choyées du début à la fin.
Comme il s'agissait de notre première fois, nous avons opté pour le menu dégustation. Rendues à la moitié, nous étions pleines, mais les plats (8 services) ont continué à se succéder, tous délicieux. J'ai une mention spéciale pour la fattoush pleine de saveurs & la pieuvre que je n'aurais jamais commandé, mais qui mérite vraiment le détour. La crème glacée au baklava est renversante. La petite infusion de feuilles de menthe a magnifiquement couronné le tout.
Oui, vous récolterez une facture salée chez Damas, mais ce restaurant vaut chaque dollar que vous y mettrez. J'en suis sortie avec le sourire jusqu'aux oreilles... le vin & l'arak y ayant sûrement contribué un peu!
