Came here with my daughter Courtney (my precious girl) after she begged me because she "saw it…read moreonline". Should've trusted my gut Food took ages, Courtney was STARVING and getting emotional. Her pasta was crunchy (sorry but that means RAW) and my burger tasted like it came from a packet. Not what you expect when you're paying these prices. They didn't have oat milk so Courtney couldn't have her iced latte and that basically ruined the whole evening. She sat there saying the "vibes were off" which as her mother I could immediately tell was TRUE. Staff were friendly but a bit too laid back if you ask me. This isn't a festival, it's a RESTAURANT. Won't be rushing back. Courtney says she's "never eating here again" and honestly I stand with my daughter. DO BETTER. -- Sharon x

We took a chance on Terracotta our first night visiting Montreal as they had amazing reviews and…read moreI've never tried Tunisian food so I was looking forward to it! We didn't have a reservation but the sweet man who greeted us found us a table very fast. This is a family owned business and you can tell how much pride and love they put into it. Both of the owners explained all the dishes to us and were so helpful in making our decisions. We started with the lemonade which is house made by their own mother every day. It had a different type of sweetness to it, almost like it was made with honey instead of sugar but I really enjoyed it. We also got the Trio of Salads which were so good! A few of them were a bit spicy but nothing we couldn't handle. They also kept the bread coming which I never hate! We also split the Tuna Brik and it was amazing! For our mains we had the Honey Lamb which was covered in pistachios. The lamb fell right of the bone and was so tender. We also tried the Ojja which is more of an elevated Shakshuka - dipping the bread in the sauce was a highlight at the end. Overall, this was such a unique meal with wonderful flavors. The owners service was the true stand out of this meal. They really do provide a wonderful experience for all of their guests.

It was fairly quiet, the service was prompt and responsive, although our server missed our order for the hummus and bread platter, so missed out on that. The decor and ambiance matched the Syrian cuisine. The overall prices were about $$ to $$$, depending on the entree. Here's what we ordered: Hibiscus Sipper (8/10) - a refreshing cocktail on gin and hibiscus. It was a bit on the tart side but a good drink that I enjoyed. Shish Borek (9/10) - lamb dumplings in a sheep milk yogurt. Expertly made and so delicious. One of the many highlights of our meal. Rack of Lamb (10/10) - an amazing rack of lamb, cooked with flavorful spices with a nice crispy light char that made for a fantastic first bite! The entree came with an assortment of vegetables Batata Harra (10/10) - spicy potatoes with a bit of lemon and coriander. It came out hot and fresh and was just the right amount of crispy on the outside and light and fluffy potato inside. Kunafa (8/10) - a dessert made of sheep milk cheese and pistachios. It was served warm, very rich and sweet. Overall, we were happy we visited and had an amazing meal at Damas!

This restaurant was on our list during our trip to Montreal…read more The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The warm colors give it a modern vibe, yet very traditional. We started out with the Dumplings facon shish barak - 10/10. This starter was outstanding. Our main dish was the rack of lamb - 10/10. This dish was phenomenal. The flavor of the lamb paired with the eggplant and tahini sauce was amazing. For dessert we had the Kunafa - 8/10. Great dessert, but a bit too sweet for me. Our waiter was good, however he did forget to bring us another appetizer we ordered. By the time we realized our appetizer wasn't coming we told him about it, and he said there was a miscommunication on the order. So, at that point we just told him not to bring it. Overall, I would definitely try this place out. Their food is really great!

I found the cuisine to be vibrant and healthful, with bright and energizing flavors that were well executed overall. The staff are knowledgable about the menu and dish conception, and generally pleasant and friendly to converse with. (Jacqual: B) - Simply presented drink that features hibiscus and citrus with zero proof beer, which I found fascinating. The beer notes are in the background prevailed by the sourness of the other components, where I wish there was a little more added sweetness. (Fried Maitake: A) - Perfectly seasoned dish with tender and high surface area mushrooms coated in an impressly crisp batter given the moisture usually found in mushrooms. The seasoning could not be better with the salt and spice combo; the chive and parsley mayo also add an herbaceous depth of flavor. (Heirloom Tomatoes: A) - Pefectly plated tomatoes with a surprising sunflower seed forward profile given the subtleness of the ingredient; the dish is well balanced and brings out the harmonious flavors of the garden, although I think the bites with flake salt had that even more perfect note. (Hanger Steak: A+) - Beautifully perfected cut of beef with Asian inspiration; the steak is juicily pink with a charred exterior; the carrot ginger puree has a lovely mild and lingering spice, with some additional spice coming from the shishito and the pickled jalapeno. Beautiful dish. (Peach Sorbet: C) - Flavorally pleasant dessert with peach three ways and a nut crumble to add crunch; the sorbet was very hard though and could have benefitted from spirits in the churning process.

This place is great for either just picking up fresh fish to make at home OR for picking your fish…read moreand letting the experts grill it for you on the spot. Not a huge amount of seating and the three times we've been, we've seen lineups for groups larger than four waiting to be seated. Most of the items are offered grilled or fried, but you can ask for a different cooking method and they try to accommodate. They have a set menu from which to choose OR you can, as mentioned previously, pick your own fish by weight to be prepared. Unless you have a specific fish in mind that you must have and the exact cut or piece, I highly suggest just sticking to one of the menu items to keep your bill reasonable. The menu items are very fair in price, but if you start to get fancy and ask for a piece of halibut to be cut, don't be surprised if your meal quickly becomes $40 lol, which would be expected at a more fine dining establishment, but in this diner type of setting, is a bit much. I always order the grilled shrimp plate which is 8 medium-sized well seasoned grilled shrimp that come with crunchy, tasty french fries and a very nice, fresh garden salad. The price on that dish is $15, and it's a very generous portion. The appetizer sized calamari is also a very good deal at $10, easily shared between two people. Note, the calamari looks pale and unappetizing at first glance, but it's cooked just right and tastes great. For the fish and seafood lovers, this definitely is a more unique place and so many types of fish to try!

I went with two other coworkers. Since it's meant for you to share dishes, it was a perfect opportunity for us to all try different things. Two of us ordered the whole Branzino to share. The fish was so tender and flavorful. I also got a side of the lemon potatoes. The lemon was pretty strong but it did not take away from the taste. We also got a side of Pita with the Melitzanosalata (eggplant). It's an acquired taste and is served cold. The star of the show was the Greek fried cheese that was presented over an open flame that the waiter prepares in front of you. Overall, all of the food was good and I will definitely be going back the next time I'm in Montreal!

They have a menu with quite a bit of variety, premium offerings like wagyu burgers and octopus, as well as a host of delicious cocktails and wine options. My colleagues and I have enjoyed every meal we have, with every plate always cleared. The biggest thing that stands out for me is the consistency of staff; my visits have been a couple years apart and one of the lead staff is the same. There's clear pride here. Yes, if you're there during business lunch hour or immediately after work, it's busy, but they advise you in advance. They schedule seating and stay on top of it. Can you feel rushed? Yes, but that's a decision you make taking the reservations available and I think they handle it politely. Doesn't impact your experience.

For a starter I got the beet salad with the burrata and the flavor combination with the crumbled pistachio was really great. For my main I got the salmon tartar and it was perfect. It came with jalapeños and edamame and also a huge side of fries. The salmon was fresh and dish well balanced. For dessert I chose the brownie but it was rock hard and crumbly. I thought maybe I got an overcooked end piece but others in the party said the same. We should have stuck with the Montreal theme and done the maple square option. The restaurant was a nice atmosphere and a good escape from the cold and snow. There were lots of different sized parties and even families with kids.
