Great service, friendly, attentive, even under pressure… Great place that I would gladly recommend! I’ll be back 😋🤗Karin K
There are good reasons to eat regularly at Damas – not only because it still reminds me of the former neighborhood pub “Schwanen-Beizli”: the menu never really changes, and you know the food is always good…Walter Noser
We had the mixed platter for the whole family. Everyone was delighted, and the service was top-notch. We always look forward to returning, even for take-away.Axel
