Damas Restaurant

Montréal


Unique Syrian-inspired cuisine just a few minutes from Mile End and Little Italy, Damas is consistently rated as one of the top restaurants in the city. A warm and welcoming ambience, along with an eclectic menu of Syrian classics (Damascus marinated chicken, tahini seabass), and inspiring new flavors (herbed dumplings, sumac fries), all come together for a complete fine-dining experience.

Middle Eastern–inspired cocktails and a small selection of wines are enjoyable on the summer outdoor seating. Call in advance for reservations.
