I am truly blown away by the service, atmosphere, and quality of food of this restaurant. I’ve been to restaurants all across the world and Alexis is truly the best, most professional and patient server I’ve ever come across. If I could give him this restaurant more than 5 stars I would. Truly exceptional on every level.

Absolutely outstanding. Nico was our server and he was great. We got the chef’s tasting menu with the cocktail pairing. My wife says it was the best meal she’s ever had. I’ve been wanting to come here for years and this definitely met all our expectations.

The food was so comforting and delicious. Really well made, bold flavours and definitely bigger portions than we expected. Very beautifully decorated, great service as expected. We usually order desert but we were so full that we decided to go back another day to try that menu out. Overall, very good experience. Would definitely come back!

We went to Damas to celebrate a birthday this weekend and had such a wonderful lunch. We were lucky enough to have the incredible Tessie as our waitress. Her warm energy, beautiful personality and friendly suggestions made our first experience at Damas nothing short of amazing. We decided to go for a 3 course meal because we absolutely wanted dessert, but we would’ve easily been more than satisfied with 2 courses as the portions are extremely generous. We started with their akawi and lamb fatayer, as well as their lamb kibbeh nayyeh, had the ribeye with the ottoman eggs and the shish taouk for our main courses and for dessert (there’s always room for dessert!) we chose the halva french toast as well as the classic halawet el jebn. The presentation of every plate was breathtaking, as you can see below. The flavours are so well thought out, the meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection & their crispy potatoes will have you pushing your limits for one more bite. The most surprising part for me was that, despite the very generous portions, we didn’t even get a to go box because of how good the food was. It’s one of those places you’re planning your next visit before you even finish eating. It’s really THAT good.

We visited Damas on April 6 as a party of 4. Ambiance: The restaurant is very large, nearly 4 whole rooms. It’s beautifully decorated, quite warm and inviting. I wouldn’t say it’s cozy, nor would I say it’s an overtly elegant vibe. Service: Friendly but distant. Food was explained as it came, but none of our servers seemed particularly passionate about the food. Plates were changed with each service. Nothing that added or detracted from our visit. Food: What can I say about the food? Damas offers elevated middle eastern cuisine that would wow those who have not had very much of it. The mezzes were good, but not better than mezzes served by any good Syrian (or Lebanese or Jordanian) restaurant, including a breakfast spot. The hot mezzes were good, but not ground breaking. Flavours were not elevated, they were just solid representations of the standard (cumin, Aleppo pepper, yogurt, etc.) Most damning was the meat - we ordered the filet mignon medium rare and received it medium, the lamb medium and received it well done. At a restaurant charging these prices, this was quite unacceptable. Furthermore, for a restaurant charging these prices and presenting itself as being high end, the pace at which our dishes came out was overwhelming. We ordered a total of 10 dishes. We received our cold mezzes as a pair. Very quickly after we began to eat, 3 hot mezzes appeared. And very shortly after that, another 4 hot dishes! There was no pause between plates, which made us feel very rushed and anxious about the food becoming cold. We would’ve appreciated more thoughtful coursing of the dishes and more time to enjoy each dish, without it becoming cold. Overall, Damas offers a decent dining experience at what feels like rather exorbitant, fine dining prices. Service and ambiance are nothing to write home about. The food is not the best representation of the true breadth and depth of Syrian cuisine, but it may wow those who are not from the region.

The food was truly delicious. The prices are higher compared to other restaurants, but the quality makes it totally worth it. It’s perfect if you want to celebrate something special. I loved the dessert, especially because I had never tried ice cream like that before. The service was also excellent—I would definitely come back.

Very different middle eastern food, good ambience, wonderful service and great dessert. We had the tasting menu, most of the things where kind of different, with a variety of taste. I don't eat seafood, they were happy to accomodate my requests. The kibbeh and the main course lamb were outstanding dishes, others were also good, but these 2 standout. The dessert was also very different, never had something like that ! Must go place in Montreal

This is the best middle eastern restaurant I have ever eaten in North America. I eat here every few years, whenever I come to Montreal. I make it a point to come here. It is absolutely worth the trip and the cost. It is not inexpensive, but it is a dining experience worth every penny. I would give it my very highest recommendation.

We had the tasting menu with the Mediterranean wine pairing and everything was perfect! The service was above and beyond anything experienced in Montreal. Every single dish was incredible and the wine paired perfectly with each dish. The atmosphere was also very pleasant!

I had a wonderful experience at Damas. The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The service was attentive and professional, and the ambiance felt vibrant and lively. The only small downside is that it can get quite loud, especially during peak hours, which might make conversations a bit difficult. But overall, it’s an amazing dining experience that I would definitely recommend and come back to!

We did the tasting menu with the cocktail pairings for my 40th birthday. Everything was fantastic, the service was wonderful, fast, polite, very knowledgeable, and we were well fed and watered. We were utterly stuffed by the end and it was a great experience. The portion sizes were generous. The place was cool and the seating was comfy. It was a pretty perfect birthday experience. They nailed it. I would definitely trust them to knock a special occasion out of the park. The price is definitely not a daily favourite, but it's nice to have special treats. Incredible staff, fantastic food. Thank you!

Damas in Montreal delivered an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely outstanding, beautifully presented, rich in flavour, and clearly crafted with care and authenticity. What truly elevated the evening, though, was the service. It was attentive without ever feeling intrusive, and everything flowed seamlessly. Communication was effortless, especially since we were served in English, which made us feel completely comfortable and well taken care of throughout the night. A special thank you to our server, Sabrina, who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. She was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive, striking that perfect balance that turns a great meal into a great evening. Highly recommend Damas for both the incredible cuisine and the top-tier hospitality.

Damas is hands-down my favorite restaurant in Montreal. From the moment you walk into the gorgeous dining room on Van Horne, the experience is just unmatched. The service is always incredibly warm and attentive, and the atmosphere feels so special without being stuffy. But the food is the real reason I keep coming back. The Syrian flavors are so rich, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. Everything is incredibly fresh from the cold mezzes right down to the charcoal-grilled meats. Whether you go all out on the tasting menu or just share a bunch of plates, you honestly can't go wrong. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but it is absolutely worth every single penny for the quality and the overall experience. A true 10/10.

If you’re after something a little more distinctive than the usual dining spots, this place really delivers. The flavors feel intentional and elevated, without trying too hard. Service is smooth, the atmosphere is effortlessly refined, and the overall design is clearly well thought out. If you tend to be selective with your restaurant choices, this is one of those places that actually lives up to the standard
