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.
We were a group of 15 people, the food was really good, we had the group menu with tons of options. The atmosphere was good, its warm & a little bit dark.
The desserts that we had (cheese cake & chocolate cake) were not that good, they tasted like box cakes.
Also, some of our group members were having issues getting additional drinks, the waiter was not paying attention if we needed more drinks or bread.
Overall good but just to go one time.
The food was good & the space is very nice. I had the Courgette Frites which were excellent, definitely recommend. Also tried the pasta alla zozzano which was good but expensive for a plate of pasta ($34) with mostly sauce, cheese & bits of bacon. The chocolate cake is decadent & well worth it.
Service was a bit slow especially for our cocktails.

Attentive & friendly staff. Food was very good & the plating was very nice.
Shared five appetizers between four people & then had the steak & pasta as a main meal. Walked out stuffed.
The cocktails were nice. bees nees is a must try! Chocolate cake & a coffe were a perfect ending to our meal.
Would definitely go back!
Wanted to like this place, but definitely overrated. They don't know how to cook a steak at all. The burger was also so salty & greasy that it fell apart. The pasta that everyone gets is also a gimmick. Fried zucchini is ok, but the serving you get is smaller than what you see online. Chocolate cake was the best thing on the menu. Good service, tho would't recommend.
Worth the hype. First of all-my group was late haha & without a thought they held our table for us for 15 mins on a busy Wednesday night. So thank you for that kindness. We got the beef tartare & focaccia as starters. The tartare was good but different (came atop a bland potato salad) & the focaccia was delicious. Most of my group got their famous pasta & raved about it. The grilled branzino was an underrated yet excellent dish. & the burger. My gosh- out of this world. & comes with their house ceaser salad which was so yummy & had potato chips instead of croutons. Although the dressing wasn't anchovy-ee enough for my taste. We also got all 3 desserts & all were 10/10 but the chocolate cake & blueberry sundaes are a must!! All in all a great meal in a cool trendy atmosphere
Pasta & chocolate cake are an absolute Must. Beef tartare & focaccia are delicious as well. We also ordered the BBQ ribs & burger which were pretty good & Cesar. Overall great experience!
The food was outstanding & the service impeccable. We had the fried zucchini, rib-eye & brooklyn chocolate cake for dessert. Thank you Kelsey for the amazing service!
We went for a moms' dinner out to celebrate my friend's birthday. Great space & playlist. Everything we ate & drank was perfect. The best burger I have had because I love a good char, & the bun to be just right- Romies nailed it. Crispy bacon, the right melty cheese, perfect thin pickle slices. The clams were fab too - so fresh & delicious & the addition of tiny pasta was genius / plus the occasional crunch & nuttiness of hazelnuts made it next level. The side veg was a star dish in itself & we understood why it sells put at first bite. The corn & tomato salad highlighted the best of local summer corn & tomatoes & the creamy corn dressing & feta, onions & fried shallots. I could go back every day to try each of the tempting salads on the menu. Then there is the Brooklyn blackout cake. The whole dessert menu sounds dreamy but the BROOKLYN BLACKOUT CAKE with its Chocolate mousse frosting, cookie whipped cream & just a little crunch of flakey salt on top should not be missed / I don't care how full you are or if you don't usually like chocolate cake. Get it. Try it. Even if, like us, you can only eat one bite & have to take it home.

Romie's has quickly become a favorite of ours. The service is exceptional-attentive, friendly, & professional. The food is always incredible; The Brutus salad, cold fish, filet mignon & fish of the day are our favorites. The chocolate cake is hands down best dessert ever. We've been three times since they opened, & every visit has been consistently great. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!
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!
Lovely experience at Romies! Shared the Catalina Salad that had the perfect amount of dressing. For my main I had the Charcoal Grilled Fish, which was cooked to perfection. For dessert we shared the Brooklyn Blackout Cake, best chocolate cake ever, not overly sweet. Will for sure be going back.
Just Yum, in all senses. Food was amazing, perfect medium rare filet mignon, tomato salad of the day was everything I didn't know I wanted, pasta to die for. Chocolate cake 11/10. Terrace had a great vibe, a Montreal gem. A little disappointed they ran out of pie, but all the more reason so go back. I didn't catch our waitress' name but she was amazing. Super cool spot, great deco, great vibes. Don't skip it

I would absolutely recommend Romies to anyone. Food & service was fantastic. The pasta Carbanara was a huge hit for me as well as the decadent chocolate cake.
