The Damascene Restaurant — Restaurant in Montreal

I visited this hidden gem in May 2025, nestled within the bustling food court of Plaza Côte-des-Neiges. Despite its modest setting, the culinary experience was anything but ordinary.

We started with the mushroom soup—absolutely delightful! It was rich, creamy, and had a texture that showcased the chef’s attention to detail. After that, we had the chicken burger, which was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The combination of spices and freshness of ingredients truly stood out.

What impressed me further was the generous portion sizes and the affordability of the meals, making it a great spot for a satisfying lunch without breaking the bank. The staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring a pleasant dining experience even during the busy lunch hour.

If you’re in the area and craving Syrian cuisine, this spot in Plaza Côte-des-Neiges’ food court is a must-visit. Don’t let the food court location fool you—the flavors here rival those of standalone restaurants. Highly...

You typically don't expect much at a food court in a mall, but then again if you look hard enough you'll occasionally be surprised.

La Damoscene proves itself by being the exception.

Tonight was cold and dark , and it proved to be the perfect choice - and it won't be the last time I visit

From the moment I stepped up to the cash, I was offered some small cups to taste a few things. That convinced me to order , they are customer oriented . As I watched them prepare everything , it was clear that they really care about their product.

Think about it , for about the same price as McD , you get a home cooked nutritious meal , served by people that really care

I'm not the type to write reviews unless they are merited , especially for a food court mall restaurant

I had the sujok , mushroom soup,...

I was in an area I had not been in over ten years and unexpectedly had to grab a bite here. TLDR: The owner is a gentleman and the food was amazing. I tasted the home made mushroom soup as well as the leek soup, had the Soujouk trio. If you like love spices and flavours, you will love it here. The price is unbeatable as well. You know the kind of place that makes you forget that we live in late stage capitalism because the owners are like a host receiving a guest in their home? Kind of like that. Oh and it's Syrian good in case you missed it in the title.

Go there and eat there and say hello and be kind...
