| - We were blown away by this place! I made a reservation for a Friday night about a month in advance. We arrived and were seated right away. Our server, Vito, was great. He was super personable, friendly and accommodating. We started with cocktails and we really enjoyed them, especially one that had gin with coriander. We knew we had to do the tasting menu because all the reviews before said it was amazing. Definitely do the tasting, you won't regret it! Plus it's a great price at 75 dollars. The courses are served family style rather than individually. The first course was the appetizer course which was a fettoush salad, four dips (hummus, baba ghanoush, beet hummus, and a red pepper dip), and beef tartar. They were all so delicious. The beef tartar was seasoned so well that I loved it, and I usually don't like beef tartar. The dips were delicious. Some of them had pine nuts and others had olives or chickpeas in them. The salad was delicious and fresh. The second course consisted of seafood. The first part was shrimp then octopus. The sauces they came in were so tasty. Then we moved onto meat. We started with chicken, which had so much flavor for chunks of white meat chicken. Then we had lamb chops that were cooked perfectly. Last, for dessert, we had a knafeh, which is cooked with semolina and phyllo dough with cheese in the middle and topped with syrup and pistachios. I could not say enough how delicious the food was. We enjoyed every single course and were blown away by each. If you're ever in Montreal, definitely go to Damas!!
