Review Summary

Reviews of Romies describe a chic, lively spot in Old Montreal with an open kitchen vibe and a terrace that many find romantic or buzzy. The food is frequently praised for bold flavors and generous portions, with standout dishes such as pasta alla zozzona, crudo branzino, beef tartare, ribs, and a chocolate cake that many say is a must. The ambiance and cocktails often receive high marks, contributing to a memorable night out or celebrations like birthdays and weddings. Service is a mixed bag, ranging from attentive and friendly to slow or inconsistent, with some guests reporting miscommunications about menu items or delays in refills or in getting courses. Some dishes arrive warm rather than hot and a few items are deemed overpriced for the portion size, leading to frustrations during busy periods. Overall Romies is seen as a place worth trying for the food and atmosphere, especially for dates or group dinners on the terrace, but visitors should be prepared for variability in service and value.

Nouveau coup de coeur dans le vieux-port ! Honnêtement, c'était un sans faute du début à la fin. Le service était impeccable, le cadre est parfait pour une soirée romantique & la nourriture...omg que c'était bon. Je savais pas que des courgettes frites pouvaient être bonnes comme ça. Que dire du contre filet, des hashbrowns & des pâtes.. tout était absolument délicieux. & pour terminer, j'ai mangé probablement le meilleur gâteau au chocolat de ma vie. À essayer absolument !

Overall a great experience, the service was pleasant, Adam took good care of us & helped with some suggestions as well. The room had a very nice warm atmosphere & the food was great. I would highlight the fried zucchini & the steak. I've had better caesar's & fries but everything was yummy. You could tell the staff enjoyed providing a pleasant evening & they did a great job at doing so.

I went to Romies as a group for a celebration & the whole experience as a 5+ for all of us. We were welcomed with warm smiles, the atmosphere was busy & inviting, the service was quick & attentive & the food was delicious! We (all) can't wait to go back!

C'était pour la fête de ma fille, je suis passé plein de fois devant (je travaille pas loin) mais je n'ai jamais fréquenté l'établissement, vu le décor, je me disais que les plats devait avoir un certain prix. Mais que ne ferait-on pas pour la fête de sa fille ?
Nous avons soupé en famille en cette belle fin de semaine au début de l'été. Il était encore tôt & la place était presque vide. Le décor, l'ambiance, la lumière donnaient le ton & faisaient en sorte que cet endroit cossu était un havre de paix pour les clients. Nous avons pris du Foccacia fait maison, (délicieux), courgettes frites, tartare, disons le, ça commence bien un repas de fêtes, jusqu'au moment ou le garçon chargé de remplir nos verres d'eau est venu à notre table, il sentait la sueur (pas un peu, assez fort pour que toute la table le sente)… ça nous a mis mal à l'aise. D'habitude, ça ne me dérange pas, chacun fait ce qu'il veut avec son hygiène, mais là dans un établissement de cette classe, c'est décevant. D'un autre côté, comment lui dire sans le froisser ? Question épineuse. Ce n'est jamais agréable d'écrire ce genre de chose, ni pour moi, ni pour les gens qui vont le lire. Je fréquente beaucoup de restaurants & je dois dire que c'est des rares fois ou ça a perturber notre souper, les plats suivants étaient délicieux mais l'expérience a été gâchée par cet incident. On va dire que ce n'était pas notre jour ni pour nous, ni pour le serveur.

We dined here on a Sunday evening, & the ambiance alone is everything. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, but it doesn't stop there. Every dish we ordered was incredibly flavorful & perfectly balanced, we never thought zucchini chips could be that good! Our steaks were cooked to perfection, & the table was filled with constant'mmm's' & approving head nods all night long. We couldn't have been more satisfied with the entire experience.

Highly recommend dining here. We'd gladly drive from Toronto to Montreal just to enjoy this meal again!

Food was good, very pricey for what you get though. We also had to wait 30mins after our reservation time for a table which is never a good start.

honestly don't write bad reviews often, but this experience deserves one.
I chose Romies because I liked the restaurant. I've been there before, enjoyed the food & the vibe, & trusted them enough to plan a surprise dinner for a special occasion. That was clearly a mistake.
I reached out well in advance to coordinate something very simple. I contacted them multiple times:
- via Instagram DM
- via email
- & even in person, where I explained everything clearly
Despite all of this, I received no response for over a week. No confirmation, no follow-up, nothing. Planning a surprise is already stressful, & being completely ignored by a restaurant you're trying to work with makes it unnecessarily frustrating.
What's worse is that even after explaining everything clearly - including very basic, low-effort requests - absolutely nothing was done. We specifically asked for candles on the table. This was mentioned more than once, through different channels, & even acknowledged in person. When we arrived?
No candles. No preparation. No effort.
The surprise was essentially ruined, not because the request was complicated, but because the restaurant simply did not care enough to follow through.
If you don't want to accommodate special occasions, that's fine - just say so. If you're too busy to respond, say that too. But ignoring messages, failing to communicate, & then completely dropping the ball on the day itself is unacceptable, especially from a place that presents itself as polished & attentive.
This was especially disappointing because I went out of my way to choose Romies out of loyalty. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt dismissed & overlooked.
Food & ambiance don't matter if the most basic level of professionalism is missing. If you're planning anything important, do yourself a favor & don't rely on this place to handle it.

Honestly an okay restaurant. You pay for the location & the instagrammy atmosphere. Everything is good. But if you serve the same plate in another city, it would be okay & half the price.

I have read some mixed reviews prior coming to Romies but I still wanted to give it a try during my recent visit to Montréal. Overall I like their food but there were some improvements I would like to suggest.
They didn't really have a big menu, & if they have printed on the menu I would have expected they were available to order. When I tried to order the steamed clams main dish, our server told us it was not available. & that's the only thing they didn't have on that day. I understand but also disappointed, why couldn't they told us right from the beginning? Rather than spending 15 minutes deciding what to order & then only to figure out it's not available.
The food tasted good in general but some of the items were not hot enough in my opinion. The fried zucchini was just warm but not hot. & the NY striploin dish, the side dish hashbrown also just warm but I wish it could be more hot & crispy.
The Brooklyn blackout cake looked good but I actually enjoyed their butter pecan sundae more.

La nourriture est bonne mais pas assez pour justifier le prix élevé. De plus, j'ai trouvé tous les plats un peu trop salés. Les cocktails sont bons. Ce ne fut pas une mauvaise expérience, mais je ne retournerais pas non plus.

The food was amazing & reasonably priced. The ambiance was very nice. I would give this 5 stars but the staff was unprofessional.

The host was talking to his colleague for 5 minutes before greeting me (I was standing in front just waiting for them to finish) & only gave one menu for a table of 7 people.

Would come back though
