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.
Les avis présentent Damas comme une expérience culinaire montréalaise remarquable, réputée pour ses saveurs syriennes riches, son pain pita maison frais et ses mezzés généreux qui incluent des plats comme l'agneau, le poulpe, le fattoush et les kebabs, le menu dégustation et les accords mets et vins étant souvent mis en avant comme une expérience à ne pas manquer. L'ambiance est décrite comme chaleureuse, élégante et intime, et le service est généralement attentif et professionnel, avec un excellent programme de boissons en harmonie avec la cuisine. Certaines personnes remettent en question le rapport qualité-prix, notant des prix élevés et des portions variables, et quelques expériences mentionnent des retards ou des oublis en période d'affluence. Le brunch est également salué pour sa palette et sa fusion Est-Ouest, faisant de Damas une institution à Montréal pour ceux qui cherchent une expérience gastronomique mémorable ou à découvrir d'autres plats du menu.
Went to Damas tonight with a friend & as usual, had incredible food - there is not a single bad thing I could say about the flavour profile of any dish.
Where it went downhill was with the service. When we got our bills, I noticed my cocktail was upcharged by $2 when compared to the menu. Not a big deal, but the principle of it is where the problem lies. When I raised it to our waiter, it took 5 minutes of back & forth with the staff before he came back with the corrected bill, a half-baked apology ('we don't usually try to pull this on our customers, but our menu prices really did change this week'), & nothing to make up for the situation.
My friend then notices the same thing, & before she can even show him where the problem was, the waiter proceeds to gaslight her into thinking the price she was charged for her cocktail was actually the price in the menu. I checked after the fact - it was not (see images attached - shai glace/th0 glac0).
For an establishment that prides itself on a refined & memorable experience, this left a really bad taste in my mouth. The last thing I want to be doing when leaving a restaurant is making sure the prices that were listed are in fact the prices that were charged. So disappointing. I would definitely think twice before making a reservation again - there are equally great restaurants in the city that actually engage in fair business practices.
The food was amazing, really tasty & full of flavor. It was on our bucket list & we're happy we went, but honestly not worth that kind of money. We got the dégustation menu at $160 per person, which felt pretty expensive for what you get, i would say 130$ max would be decent. Thank god I filled up on bread lol. Overall we'd definitly go back because the food was really good, but next time we'd just order plates & appetizers
We had a fantastic time at this restaurant. One of the top food experiences in Montreal thus far. The flavours are deep & unique, & very delicious. You can appreciate the use of high quality ingredients & expertly curated dishes.
The lamb was the best dish we tried.
We ordered several dishes & they were all fantastic. This restaurant is on the Amex platinum dining list, so you can use your annual $200 credit here.
We had high chairs, & the group was great with the children. The service is fantastic, your water will always be filled, & you can appreciate the attentiveness of the staff.
Don't miss this restaurant!!! Easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is joyous, the service & the food was absolutely outstanding-but it was John who made the evening truly unforgettable-he is EXPERT!!! All his recommendations were exceptional. I'm amazed that even though this restaurant is busy & well known, it always felt like an experience curated just to you-honestly, it's rare to find such attention to detail, extraordinary meals & beautiful service.
I'm already looking forward to my next visit. If you are in Montreal, Damas is an absolute must!
Really enjoyed Damas. Good was good. I found the tasting menu pricey for what we got. With wine & 15% tip it was 300$ per person. Next time I would opt for à la carte options.
The food here was absolutely stellar, & definitely one of the top restaurants in a week long visit to Montreal. The hummus shawarma was exceptional, & the mixed grill for two is definitely worth it, especially the shish taouk, lamb rack, & filet mignon kebab. The smoked eggplant puree with the lamb was chef's kiss. Definitely come here while in Montreal, but get a reservation.
Exquisite food, excellent service. Our waiter Nick is a real pro.
Every dish is expertly prepared, cold & warm mezzes are great, the mixed grill superb, seasoning & cooking is perfect, the sides & sauces fantastic.
Expensive dinner, worth every penny.
We had a lovely dinner at Damas, the experience was amazing - the cocktails are incredible! It was my first time having Syrian food, & I honestly can't wait to come here again.
In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Montreal. Food & service is amazing. It's one of those fancy restaurants that doesn't skip on portion sizes either, you basically roll out of the place because the food is so filling. If I won the lottery I would eat here every day.
Amazing!! Came here for dinner with my husband while visiting Montreal & everything about our experience was wonderful! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful & the service was fantastic. We ordered the tasting menu & every dish was delicious. You can tell how much thought & care is put into creating each dish. I am not the most familiar with Syrian food but our servers kindly explained each dish to us which made it very accessible & informative. Each server we interacted with was incredibly kind & attentive. & I can't emphasize enough how good the meal was. I would very highly recommend visiting Damas!
Amazing food & really nice service. Our waiter knew the menu inside out. Cool interior too. Just a little slow between courses, but overall a great night out.
Excellent restaurant!
Un grand merci à George pour son accueil chaleureux & son excellent service. Il a été attentionné, souriant & très professionnel tout au long du repas. Merci pour ce beau moment, nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
Phenomenal Food & Extraordinary Service!! My partner & I had never tasted Syrian cuisine before so we both decided to try the tasting menu & we were blown away by the whole experience. Such unique flavours! We will be back!
