Damas Restaurant

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!

This restaurant is overpriced and overrated.nnWe 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.nnThey also served some extremely bitter olives, which I personally didn’t enjoy at all.nnThe 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.nnWe 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.nnIn 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!

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.nn1. 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.n2. The person who ate the kebab said it was very average. There was no wow factor in it.n3. The Baba ganoush was the only redeeming factor. But not worth $35 plus taxn4. Not many vegan and gluten free options. Menu is very meat centered.n5. 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.nnService 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.nnThe food was incredible. My absolute favorites were the lamb and the Crevettes Kunafa — both were packed with flavor and perfectly prepared.nnThe 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.
