Romies is described as a stylish, vibey spot in Old Montreal with a beautiful terrace that many reviews say is perfect for dates or celebrations. The service is often praised for being friendly and attentive, though a few experiences mention slow or inconsistent service, especially on busy nights. The food is generally regarded as delicious and well presented, with frequent highlights including fried zucchini, pasta alla zozzona, crudo, focaccia, rib eye, and a standout dessert scene featuring chocolate cake or blackout cake. Some readers feel the prices are high for the portions and value, and a number of dishes arrive not as hot as expected or can be a little heavy on richness. The ambiance, decor, and open kitchen vibe create a memorable experience that many say elevates the meal, though the noise level and crowds can be a downside for some. Across reviews, Romies is seen as a place with strong positives in food and atmosphere, and a willingness to return for the terrace, cocktails, and signature dishes, while the occasional critique centers on price, consistency and service during peak times.
10/10 fast, quick & good prices. Sure me & my partner shared our food, but sharing is worth it, to try much at Romie's the pasta is AMAZING, The focaccia is beautiful & the service was superb.
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!

I'm not sure how this place get bad reviews. Probably people went to this place on a busy evening? I went here early like one of the first customers on Tuesday evening & I have the best time ever in a restaurant in Montreal!
The service is superb & the food is delish! Every dishes that I order are tasty. The only negative thing is that I order the fried zucchini & beef tartare & both have cream-cheese? So it doesn't balance each other. I have should have ordered something refreshing instead. But both dishes are so good especially the fried zucchini.
I also like the clam dish & the steak. Everything was cooked on point. The place is also beautiful in the right amount of light. If i had a restaurant, this would be the kind that I would have. Thank you romies team! You really made my night! ❤?
Our daughter Mia & son in law Stuart. married in the courtyard at Romies; followed by a phenomenal intimate reception. The service was top notch, the food was fresh authentic, plentiful & exquisitely plated. The cocktails were beautifully crafted. Thanks to Franck & Nick & staff for great collaboration & for making this day unforgettable. Mille grazie to our guests for a special evening we won't soon forget.
We brought our work team of 15 to Romies & couldn't have asked for a better evening. The group menu was phenomenal-every dish cooked to absolute perfection & beautifully presented. Service was attentive without ever feeling rushed, & the staff made us feel completely at ease. Sitting out on the terrace in the heart of Montreal was the cherry on top. This place is truly a gem-already looking forward to coming back!
It's funny I kept hearing mixed reviews about this place & TikTok kept pushing it on me, but I'm really glad I came here spontaneously with my girlfriends. I actually really enjoyed the experience! The venue is beautiful & open-air, super chill vibes. I didn't order food, but my friend did, & my drinks were solid. Bartenders were nice too. Definitely coming back to try the food next time.
It was the second time that I had the pleasure to share a meal with friends at Romies last night. Both times were impeccable. Cocktails are great & well balanced, wine list is great & the food is just amazing - it's even difficult to make choices. The ingredients are fresh & everything is delicious. Bonus points for the service (& the music !). Excited to go back again & enjoy the beautiful terrasse : )

So happy to see that this location reopened after the other restaurant closed down. The terrasse is beautiful! Had dinner here with a friend. Food was delicious with the standout items being the zucchini chips (please make this a permanent menu item!), the stracciatella & the cheesecake ice cream dessert. Would love to see fancy mocktails on the menu (although I was able to get a Virgin Caesar). Definitely worth a try!
Not a single dish disappointed! We had the Catalina salad, red peppers, crudo, & seasonal tomato dish to start & the zozzona & filet mignon as mains. Every dish was perfectly dressed & seasoned & the filet cooked perfectly medium rare. Sharp cocktails, fresh desserts, great service & beautiful decor. Can't wait to come back.
Our new favourite restaurant in Montreal. Amazing food & service. The ambiance is great as well. Nice restaurant & beautiful outside terrace. It was our first time dining there & we will definitely be back. We also met the chef & he was lovely & he recommended us stuff to try. We tried the focaccia, beef tartare, burger, pasta & chocolate cake. Everything was delicious. Our waiter was also very nice & took care of us during our time. They also provided me with a purse hanger as I had my purse on the table when I arrived. This little touch was very appreciated. I definitely recommend!
As a very selective with food autistic, there are not a lot of restaurants I can trust to serve exactly what they promise on the menu & on pictures. I tried the fries, ribs, pasta & dessert. I cannot express how happy I was when I finished my meal. Everything tasted delicious. The waiter, Tommy, was one of the most friendly server I've met in a while in Montreal. The restaurant is beautiful. Pictures don't really show how beautiful it is, you have to see it yourself. I'll be going back & I'll be happy to order everything I had today all over again. Romies is definitely on my list of trusted restaurants.
Where to start?...excellent question. The restaurant is situated between montreal & the old port. As you're walking to the restaurant, On the outside it looks very ordinary, Nothing special... But wait..... When you get inside that's when it changes.. The interior of the restaurant is very inviting,very comfortable & you figure that's pretty much it... That's where you're wrong . Once you walk in & you look to your right. It's a beautiful open concept that looks like a totally different world. You feel like you're in another world, Beautiful tall trees, Strategically placed lights that go from tree to tree , giving it a great ambience But in reality your in between a few buildings , but they created a concept that you feel like you're in a different country. I have seen this type in Mexico.Let me tell you this is beautiful. Literally you feel like you're having a great meal in another country.... What a wonderful idea. I went to this restaurant not knowing what to expect. I was there celebrating my son's birthday. We were five people. We were greeted by a wonderful young man, by the name of Noah,who would be our host for the evening. He was a wonderful young man who who looked after us the whole evening ( we were there over 2 hours ) He was attentive, courteous & very cool. He did a wonderful job....no ,wrong word. He made us feel he was part of our evening....well done Noah... Food was delicious, dessert phenomenal & the drinks top notch. I will be back!! Thank you for a wonderful night... Recommendations 1-Make reservations 2-Pay for parking across the street It'll save you the headache looking ,21$
Absolutely beautiful terasse & restaurant that gives you the impression of being outside of the city almost. Great menu, great service & amazing drinks !! Would recommend for a night out ! Our server was also really nice :)
