Damas Restaurant
There’s no place quite like Damas, an upscale Montreal bistro that’s going gangbusters for its sumptuous Syrian specialties. The extensive menu boasts delicacies such as hot and cold mezzes (small plates, dips, and salads meant to be shared), Syrian charcoal-grilled dishes, and entrées like the Fattet Mozat – a braised lamb shank marooned in rice, nuts, yogurt sauce, butter, and warm pita bread. Ambitious eaters should most definitely indulge in the five-course tasting menu.
