I was looking forward to trying this place for a while based on the all the hype around it but it was an utter disappointment.
1. When we told 2 servers the fatoush was so acidic that we couldn't finish it, the response was l will let the chef know. Seriously? When we said it was inedibly sour that is all you got? All the sweet talk is meaningless. They just want tips which they don't really deserve to be very frank.
2. The person who ate the kebab said it was very average. There was no wow factor in it.
3. The Baba ganoush was the only redeeming factor. But not worth $35 plus tax
4. Not many vegan and gluten free options. Menu is very meat centered.
5. Service was good until problem resolution test kicked in where the serve r failed miserably. She looked at our bag and because we took the fatoush home to add more veggies to make it less acidic, chose to walk away doing nothing. We do not waste food. So if you judged why we took it away, it is because we needed to modify your kitchen's careless recipe and again $35 for simple lettuce with tons of bottled lemon juice and 6 seeds of pomegranate and sumac and molasses IS NOT JUSTIFIED.
Service 2/5 for attention but 1/5 for actual customer care, food overhyped for the quality and price 1.5/5, unnecessarily hyped up and lacking balance is what l what summarize Damas. Not returning and not recommended. There are places where you feel $150 with tips and tax for 2 is justified. DAMAS isn't one of those. Lemon juice thrown in 10x isn't the work of a skilled chef but shows his lack of prudence in exercising his quality control. Very very disappointed 😞 Overhyped and over rated. Please save your money and eat elsewhere. You shall thank me later.

We went to Damas to celebrate our anniversary and it was such a wonderful experience. We chose the tasting menu, and I really appreciated how the staff explained each dish as it was served — it made the evening feel even more special.
The food was incredible. My absolute favorites were the lamb and the Crevettes Kunafa — both were packed with flavor and perfectly prepared.
The atmosphere is warm yet elegant, and the service was attentive without being overwhelming. Honestly, it was the perfect place for our celebration, and I’d go back without hesitation.

Fantastic culinary experience! Our server Nick was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful with explaining the menu. He also had great advice for the cocktails. Everything we ordered were absolutely delicious and flavourful!
Everything is top notch. Service was extremely attentive. Food was incredible and flavorful, made with clean and delicious ingredients. I went here based on a recommendation and am very impressed and this is o e of the best middle eastern restaurants in North America. I ordered the course menu for $125 and loved it. Everything was perfect and Gabriel was a huge help.
This restaurant is overpriced and overrated.
We ordered the tasting menu and, while the food wasn’t bad, it was underwhelming. The fattoush was far too lemony, and the wine pairing added very little to the overall experience. We were given more detailed explanations about the wines than the food, and by the end, I honestly felt like I drank more than I ate.
They also served some extremely bitter olives, which I personally didn’t enjoy at all.
The place was so crowded and loud that I had to practically shout just to talk to my partner. It didn’t feel romantic at all, and that really took away from the experience. At times, it felt like the person at the next table was about to pull up a chair and join our conversation.
We paid $770.00 for the evening, and for that kind of price, you expect a well-rounded experience: well-executed food, wine that truly complements the meal, a pleasant atmosphere, and attentive service. It’s about balance.
In short: not worth it. The experience fell well below expectations.

An unforgettable culinary journey! Dining at Damas was like being transported to the heart of Syria. Every dish was bursting with exotic spices, vibrant flavors, and stunning presentation. The atmosphere was elegant yet welcoming, and the service was outstanding—from the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to help us lift our stroller into the restaurant. A truly thoughtful touch that set the tone for an amazing evening. One of Montreal’s finest dining experiences—an absolute must-visit!
One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Damas truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top restaurants in the city. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting—elegant without being pretentious. The service was attentive and thoughtful, making us feel genuinely cared for throughout the meal.
The food? Exceptional. The variety and freshness of the dips, the perfectly grilled octopus, the tender and flavorful shish taouk chicken—all served with warm, fluffy pitas that we couldn’t get enough of. Every bite was rich with bold, balanced flavors that spoke to the quality and authenticity of the cuisine.
It’s no surprise this place is so highly rated. I’m beyond impressed and would recommend Damas to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

Damas offers incredible Syrian cuisine with flavors that truly stand out. The grilled meats were perfectly seasoned, and the mezze were fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was top-notch. I can’t recommend it enough, definitely one of the best dining experiences in Montreal!
The restaurant was beautiful. The service was incredible. And the food was absolutely amazing. Our server made a few recommendations and was very honest when he thought we might be ordering too much. He was spot on with the dishes he told us to try and with the number of plates we should get.
The cocktails were fantastic - very fresh and refreshing. The desserts were super unique—you just save some space for them!

Seriously good food and beautifully presented!
We loved every bite of everything and the drinks are wonderful.
On the pricey side.
The restaurant was a bit louder than we had expected and less on the romantic side, though very nice.
The staff was nice, but not overly nice. We had mentioned it’s our 20th wedding anniversary and they didn’t care which was a bit odd to us.
For starters we shared the Hummus! It was absolutely scrumptious.
For the main we got the grilled meat platter for two- it was delish and plenty of food!
We were very full after our meal.
