Join us as we invite you to indulge in an experience that celebrates tradition and embraces the excitement of the new.
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.
Merci à notre serveur Jeff pour avoir rendu ma fête encore plus mémorable! La nourriture est OUT OF THIS WORLD. le crudo & les courgettes frittes 10/10. Je recommande à n'importe qui!!!!!
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!
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.
Ce fût ma troisième visite, au Romies. & pour une troisième fois, nous avons été plus que comblés. Les portions sont généreuses, autant pour les entrées que pour les plats principaux. Le steak-frites était absolument délicieux; présentant la cuisson tel que demandé. L'ambiance décontractée mais raffinée & intime permet de passer un très bon moment. Je ne peux que recommander ce resto; parfaitement situé dans le Vieux-Montréal. & les martinis sont merveilleux !
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.

Un des meilleurs restaurants à Montréal à mon avis ! La nourriture est excellente. Les employés, notamment Dolan, Colin & Ludovie, sont d'une gentillesse & d'un professionnalisme remarquables! ils rendent l'expérience encore plus agréable. L'ambiance est dynamique Je le recommande sans hésiter ! 👌🍷🍽?
I was hesitant about the menu, but I should not have doubted the team at Arthur's. Shrimp cocktail is nice, very refreshing. Beef tartare was fantastic - very good with its bedding of Russian salad. Apricot BBQ pork ribs were amazing & went really well with the Pfalz orange wine. Avoid the house pasta - it's fine but clearly just there to appease the picky eaters. We didn't have it, but I would recommend the pasta alle vongele instead as it looked delicious - big mound of it, good for sharing maybe.
Was served by the bartender Jeana (Hope I'm spelling it right!) she was absolutely incredible! I have a few allergies & she went above & beyond to ensure my meal was delicious & that we had a good time. I will definitely be back here when in MTL & recommend. Ps. The drinks were 🔥

Je suis allée pour un anniversaire avec des amies & tout était parfait! Très bonne ambiance & service impeccable de Jeana, ses recommandations étaient excellentes. Je recommande fortement !!
The food is excellent ==> Kiss for the Chef!
The service was good ==> Great service, with a pinch of'argh! another boomer couple! why am I wasting my life here!'.
Overall vibe ==> 'Cheesy-boomer-mid-90's-decor-impression-of-high-end-USA-male-tourist-customers'
The restaurant is situated at the complete west end of Old-Montreal touristy sector & located on the ground floor of what seem to be an office building (i.e: the restaurant restrooms are located past the main'mid-90's pinky-beige-stone-washed' entrance hall of the said office building).
The decor (of the restaurant + main building hall for restrooms) is somewhat dated to the mid-90's'trying-for-high-end-customers' restaurant (i.e.: somewhat'boomer-cheesy' in my opinion). I don't think that's what the restaurant is going for ultimately; the staff is young & dressed'chilled'. As said before, the service was good.
Unfortunately, the menu & the decor is giving -'I'm a 55ish+ male tourist from the United-State-of-America travelling outside my country for the 1st time & wanting to impress my date / cheat-mate with an IMPRESSION of an'elegant-diner-hotel-favor' combo; I am scared of food experiences & therefore I want a menu that I can relate too'- vibe. (ie: burger / pork-ribs / steak / pasta...)
I was a bit disappointed myself on the menu choices, since I wanted the'palourdes' as shown on the web-menu; that choice was not available at the restaurant on Sunday...I should have called - that's my bad.
For context, I did reserve my table for 5:30PM on a Sunday since my guest & I were expected somewhere else at 19:00...
However, that doesn't change my opinion on the overall'vibe' of the restaurant.
I recommend for the food...the rest of what you are going for is up to you!!!
Service was slow & communication was poor from start to finish. We weren't told mains wouldn't come until after the appetizer, so we sat waiting. The server recommended an extra dish, made it sound like a bonus, then charged us for it. The food was decent, but the surprise charge & overall experience were disappointing.
10/10 meal. Server was amazing & all of the food was incredible. Very memorable restaurant. Don't forget to order the beach pie. Definitely the best dessert I've had in a long time. One of the best restaurants I've eaten at this year. Can't recommend it enough.
I went to Romies on a Monday night for a birthday dinner, & I was honestly surprised to see the place completely full at the beginning of the week! 🎉 The atmosphere was great, & the service was very good, friendly & attentive. ✨ We had a multi-course sharing menu for the occasion, so I got to taste everything. After the meal, I totally understood why the restaurant was packed even on a Monday! The food is excellent : the starters were fresh & flavorful, & the main dishes were absolutely delicious. 🍽? I highly recommend Romies & will definitely be coming back!

Je suis allée chez Romies un lundi soir pour un souper d'anniversaire, & j'ai été vraiment surprise de voir le restaurant rempli en début de semaine ! 🎉 L'ambiance était très agréable & le service très bon, attentionné & chaleureux. ✨ Comme c'était un menu à partager pour l'occasion, on a eu droit à plusieurs services, & j'ai pu tout goûter. Après avoir mangé, j'ai compris pourquoi c'était plein même un lundi ! La nourriture est excellente : les entrées sont savoureuses & les plats principaux délicieux. 🍽? Je recommande ce restaurant & j'y reviendrai sans aucun doute !
Went with a group of 10+ so had a set menu for the night but they were very accommodating to any dietary restrictions we had & made replacements that worked for our group! The food was incredible, one of the best burgers I've ever had! Very good vibes & the staff were super friendly! Definitely recommend!!
