Everything was incredibly delicious! We chose the tasting menu. The items I preferred were : Kibbeh Nayeh (lamb tartare), Kunafah shrimp & lamb chops. The restaurant is beautiful & the staff, professional.Voir plus

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.Voir plus

Still thinking about the lamb with sour cherries. Unique cocktail options. An incredible dining experience.Voir plus

Insanely expensive for what it is. Don't get the'tasting menu' it's a scam. It's just a prix fixe family style menu & wildly overpriced.
$570 (incl tip) for 3 people 3 drinks. .
Salad, 2 dips, 2 cheese apps, 6 pieces of grilled chicken (nuggets) 3 pieces rack of lamb, ice cream dessert. Insane price for what it is.
Too many servers attending your table is annoying not nice. Go to Le Violon for a
beautiful meal & much less money.Voir plus

Very impressed with our experience. Service was friendly & felt genuine & effortless. Really good. Drinks & food were memorable. Space was beautiful. Would highly recommend.
Got the fattoush salad (good but not iconic like they would imply) , lamb kibbeh (loved this), lamb rack & chicken kebab both very good flavor. Excellent accompaniments. Great pitas.Voir plus

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.Voir plus

Great Mediterranean spot for a fancy dinner date! The ambiance & service were amazing. Strongly recommend the hummus shawarma (with lamb) & shish taouk.Voir plus

First visit: Feb 2025. Great food, horrible pricing
The good: amazing food & service. We tried the 5 course tasting menu for 3. We had everything from salad, lamb, to fish & more.
Overall the flavors are really good & the staff was amazing.
The not so good: the olives were very salty & the kibe (?) Was mushy & not good at all.
The $22 drink was good but very small. The small pieces of rack of lamb were cooked well but not seasonsed too well.
the pricing was $160 per person. For the amount of food we were offered, this was easily 2x more than it should have been.
We understand the cost of running a business & the value of good food & service, but $22 for a very small drink & $160 per person when 1 course was literally & egg with cheese & a slice of charcuterie & the last course was a few small pieces of baclava. The pricing was not on par with what was served.
I am not usually this picky but for this price. I am going over every little detail...
Satisfied with the flavors & service but not for nearly $600 with the tax & tip.Voir plus

Deliver by Door Dash was fast. Lamb is delicious! Kale slaw is yummy! Extra garlic sauce & pickled turnip a bonus! Will definitely order again!Voir plus

Their Shish-taouk & lamb shank were delicious! Also tried falafel, hummus & halloumi which were pretty good! I will be coming back!Voir plus

Im not sure what's the hype around this place, the food is mediocre at best: salad & baba Ganoush were the only ok items on the menu & I can't even call them good. Anything lamb was smelly (except for the rack of lambs), lamb requires specific preparation to get rid of the smell & it's not even a hard process, you can find 1000s of videos on YouTube on how to nail it. Fish tastes like cardboard + everything made with meat is tasteless & it seems like the sides are doing the heavy lifting to add some taste to the food. The tasting menu is the biggest scam ever at $160 per person. Baklava is alright but you can find better baklava at Jean Talon market. Will I ever go back to this place? No. Will I recommend it to friends? Absolutely not.Voir plus

We went out of our comfort zone this year & tried something new & oh my, this will place will be on our "regular" list going forward. It was THAT good. . Here is what we ate 1- GRILLED OCTOPUS Grilled octopus (T2), Aleppo pepper lemon sauce, green fava bean puree, cherry tomato & caper salsa 2- SOUR CHERRY KEBAB Charcoal grilled lamb kebab, Aleppo sour cherry sauce, seven spices, pine nuts, grilled Saj bread with butter 3- RACK OF LAMB (18 OZ) Alberta rack of lamb, seven spices, green hummus, Biwaz pita & tahini sauce 4- MIXED HOMEMADE BAKLAVA FOR 2 . . Everything was good. Anything cooked in an open grill is good. Smokey goodness. I'm still thinking of the sour cherry kebabs. That sauce, I wanna dip anything in that sauce. . If there's one place to go, it's gonna be @damasrestaurant - so make sure to check them out on your next visit to Montreal. You can make reservations via @opentableVoir plus

When we travel, I spend time researching restaurants. We were thrilled to find that Damas is excellent. If we lived in Montreal we would eat here weekly. It is worth it. Our sever suggested a Syrian Bordeaux style blend & it was amazing. Entree portions are large, so watch it with the excellent first course choices like delicious octopus & grilled halloumi. I had lamb shoulder with tomato & okra & it was amazing. My wife enjoyed the duck. Service was also great. Damas is a do not miss restaurant experience.Voir plus

Had a wonderful time at Damas celebrating a birthday. This was our second time & exceptional in comparison. The staff is on top of their game, know the menu & are quick with cleaning the table & replacing cutlery & plates in between courses. We opted for the tasting menu. Only negative is the pricing at $160 per person. We've dined at Michelin star restraunts in Toronto that cost less. Rest assured, the quality & quantity of food is just perfect. All the dishes were mindblowing. Olives were decent. Fattoush salad was fresh. The appetizers (Kibbe, fish, shrimp) & kebabs (lamb chops, skewer) were too good & flavorful. Shish tawouk could be a little more juicy. It was a bit dry but also white meat. We're glad we opted for the tasting menu. The ambiance is very beautiful & cozy. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.Voir plus

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Damas Restaurant with my family, & I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was so unique, elegant yet welcoming, setting the perfect tone for our evening. One of the standout features of this restaurant is the generous portion sizes. Each dish was beautifully presented & packed with flavor, making it a delightful experience for the palate. I ordered the rack of lamb, & I was pleasantly surprised by how hearty the serving was-definitely enough to share (though I didn't want to!). The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu & eager to make recommendations. They truly elevated our dining experience without being intrusive. Overall, Damas is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to indulge in high-quality cuisine without leaving hungry. It's perfect for families, groups, & date nights, showcasing its versatility & welcoming atmosphere. I can't recommend it enough & can't wait to return for another memorable meal!Voir plus

A friend & I splurged on the tasting menu - still dreaming about the lamb & the fattoush among other things. Every item we tried was absolutely delicious. Highly highly recommend for a special occasion or to turn a normal day special. Great service too! Highly recommend, cannot rave enough about the quality of the ingredients & just the whole culinary experience.Voir plus

One of the best restaurants in the city. Excellent food & service. Very pricey but you get what you paid for. I've tried the tasting menu several years ago & it was very good & way cheaper than it is now. I've also tried a la carte. Lamb is excellent. Everything is executed well. Definitely a special meal for a special occasion unless you have the wallet to eat here more than once a year. Highly recommend.Voir plus

I've been to Damas for YEARS, & every single time I get excellent service. A spot for a special occasion or to impress people out of town. The lamb is DELICIOUS!Voir plus

Very tasty & very expensive food :) Great if you are a lamb food lover, I'm not so my options were limited.Voir plus

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.Voir plus

Decent restaurant. Worth the first visit to try. Upscale Syrian restaurant, with reasonably tasty dishes, somewhat overpriced, & overhyped. Menu is quite rich, with great flavors. Many of the Syrian / mediterranean dishes can be prepared with different variations, & the variations they serve are made a bit more continental / American. Restaurant feels a bit stuffy. Does not have a relaxed feel to it. They have a nice outdoor patio. They have a CAD 150 / person tasting option, that has 10-12 dishes (probably smaller versions). We ordered 6 a-la-carte options, & price was a bit lower, closer to CAD 100 / person. Some items seemed overpriced, like 5 small lamb cabob for 44. Was worth the first visit, but won't return. Too far from the hotel areas, & a bit pricey for what you get. TYVoir plus

Everything was a 10/10. The taste of the food here is so unparalleled. I think it was worth the price esp cause of the lovely atmosphere, decor & wonderful service. We had shish borek, mutabbal, cherry lamb kebabs & kunnafeh shrimpVoir plus

Every single thing we ordered was amazing. Incredible flavors & perfect execution. It would have been nice to have options for draft beer (I didn't see any) but that's a tiny quibble. Server was great & did a fantastic job guiding us towards dishes without gluten (Celiac situation so important to get right). The lamb chops were the star. Potentially the best chops I've ever had & the garnishes were amazing. Patio dining was really nice. Supposedly a dress code but they didn't mind my shorts & flip flops. Fantastic restaurant. 6 stars.Voir plus

We tried the tasting menu. It was expensive, but the shrimp rolled in kadaif, & lamb ribs were delicious. The baklavas were good, but not the best. The staff were polite. We'll return, but next time we'll order from the regular menu.Voir plus
