My dinner at Damas was the best fine dining experience I've had in recent memory. I visited on a trip from NYC. The service was attentive & knowledgeable. It was at the quality of Michelin-starred restaurants that I've been to. The Syrian cuisine was delicious & hearty. Our server recommended a prix-fixe CA$ 120 option, which in hindsight would have been ample for 2 people. But we had à la carte options. The salad & moudjarra was especially memorable as was the lamb main course. I hope to come back the next time I'm in town.View more

It was a consensus amongst the 4 of us from out of town that dined at this highly recommended restaurant last night, that this was not just a meal, this was an experience. One of the BEST meals we have had...ever. 2 cousins, both saying there is no way you can match our Grandmother's cooking, & both from food service backgrounds agreed that it was one of the most memorable food experiences. Ever. From the impeccable service to the meal suggestions to the food, we are still full, happy & talking about when we will come back next! Worth the flight to MontrealView more

Nous sommes allés pour la première fois au Damas pour mon anniversaire. La bouffe était excellente. Je dirais que c'est le meilleur resto de ma vie . Nous avons été servie par Karel qui a été parfaite & qui nous a recommandé & guidé notre menu! C'était parfait! Merci beaucoup nous y retournerons.View more

You might have noticed the high amount of 5 star reviews & I can confirm that Damas is in fact an excellent restaurant.
The food & drinks are spectacular with a lot of different & varied choices. The service is impeccable, especially the timing of our food arrival. & the restaurant is pretty big offering a nice vibe that still lets you have a conversation without shouting at each other.
There also seems to be a parking lot right behind the restaurant that helps a lot, as finding street parking in the area is not easy.
I suggest everyone to give Damas a shot, especially if you're curios on what Syrian cuisine tastes like.View more

this place is most definitely overhyped, now the food is good but the price point is not justifiable & it didnt feel like authentic arabic food felt more like fusion. Would highly recommend the cheese puffs & the mouhamara, they give you unlimited fresh pita which is nice, service is very good, its a big restaurant with alot of room & is kid friendly, no parking thoughView more

Service was excellent - efficient, friendly, prompt & non invasive. Small hiccup when I asked for a latte at the end & they brought me a Turkish coffee.
Ambiance was nice - lighting, & music were peaceful. Adequate space. Not too loud. You feel very far away from the person on the other side of the table though.
Food was good, not great. Fresh & some plates were creative, but not remotely worth the price. Cost was straight up blasphemous.
Two tasters menues with a coffee costing almost 500 $ is beyond comprehensible to me- especially for the quantity.
My partner(who is Syrian), & I were underwhelmed.
Will not be returning.View more

It makes me sad to write this but it was three years since my last visit & the quality & generosity seems to have decreased substantially. For the price of the tasting menu the portions are really disappointing & our group left feeling ripped off. For $500 including 2 cocktails & tip, we expected a lot more.View more

Expérience incroyable! La nourriture est exceptionnelle, je recommande le menu dégustation avec l'accord mets & vins, ça en vaut vraiment le prix. Service plus que parfait de la part de notre serveuse Shannon & du sommelier Johnny. Je recommande +++View more

An absolute disappointment & let down. If you are going to spend on a great night & create memories with their sampling menu I believe it goes without saying that the service should be respectful & consistent. The staff thought we were their best friends & that they could say anything at any moment. Comments were made on our outfits, the fact that we used the lady's room & alcohol was pushed on us like the bill was not high enough already & we need to add more. I have dined in several of Montreal's best & this is not it. The staff needs a lesson in manners, respect & kindness. The amount of judgements passed, stares & innuendos gave the food a very bland taste. I am not going back nor would I encourage anyone to try it...View more

One of the best meals I've EVER had & I travel a lot (& I'll try anything). Incredible dishes & impeccable service. I would highly recommend the tasting menu, as it's totally worth the price.View more

Restaurant Damas is an absolute gem - a place that captures the soul of Montreal through flavors & atmosphere. No visit to the city ever feels complete without dining here. It's a must-have experience for any guest seeking something truly special.
As a vegetarian, I'm constantly amazed by the richness & variety of the plant-based options. Their roasted cauliflower dish is simply out of this world - tender, spiced to perfection, & unforgettable. From velvety dips to vibrant salads & aromatic stews, every plate is a celebration of Middle Eastern culinary artistry.
A heartfelt thank you to Mark for making every visit to Damas feel so personal & memorable. Your warmth, attention to detail, & genuine hospitality elevate the entire experience. It's rare to meet someone who brings such authenticity & care into their work - & it never goes unnoticed.
Damas isn't just a restaurant - it's a destination. An immersive & beautifully curated experience that brings me back every time.View more
