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.
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!
This is what the montreal food scene has become...a popularity contest with overpriced mediocre food. Steak was tough, burger was raw, filet mignon was very good, cherry pie was tasteless but the ambience was nice. Wine list was a joke especially considering the price of their food. Go there for a drink but not for their food or wine choices.
Best new place in the city! Food is outstanding. Great service from the entire team. Had the chance to grab the two last available seats at the bar. Had the tomatoe/corn salad & crudo for starters & for mains pasta alla zozzona & the clams. Amazing dinner!
Each & every dish was incredible & the drinks were a wow too. Exactly what we expected from the owners of Arthur's! How did I almost forget to mention the cherry pie🏆
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.
Another hit from Raegan & Alex & team! Every item on the menu is excellent. We started with cocktails (Hugo Spritz & Espresso martini) - that were perfectly crafted. Catalina salad & fish crudo as starters- Crudo is a must-have! We were treated to the house focaccia (classic!), the roasted pepper with straciatella (a sleeper hit!) & a seasonal tomato salad with corn & feta (excellent). For mains- filet mignon (perfectly cooked), the pasta (must-have) & a side of fries. Blackout cake to end- cannot miss the dessert menu! Everything at Romies is excellent. Well thought out & well executed. Ambience is great. Service is excellent! 10/10 recommend
I wanted to review this higher as the food is deserving but I was so distracted by the service during our time there. During our two hour sitting, our table was touched by no less than 15 people, each stopping in to take one dish away after interrupting our conversation rudely. One waiter kept taking our water bottle away to refill but failed to ever return with it. As mentioned above, the food is exceptional & the drinks a solid sip. I really hope they work out the momentum of the serving staff so the dining experience feels more welcoming & relaxed.

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.

Amazing ambiance & food. Was there tonight with a friend & was so happy with the service & quality of the food. The owner was greeting guests & was so friendly & welcoming. The bartenders were spectacular. Thank you!!
Wanted to try out this place as the patio looked amazing & they had many drink & food options. Unfortunately the day I went it was raining so our group got seated inside on separate tables as we were 9 people. We started off with drinks & cocktails which my coworkers seem to enjoy. We shared the focaccia, crudo, beef tartare & Spanish omelette as appetizers. My favourite was the crudo as it was so fresh, balanced & had a nice acidity from the citrus. The potato salad in the beef tartare threw us off a little as I wish there was more of a crunch element but it was still tasty. The Spanish omelette was also very good! The pickled veggies paired with it made it balanced. As for the mains, we ordered the charcoal grilled fish, the ribs & the pasta. The fish was by far our favourite! It was perfectly cooked & the grill taste was fantastic. Paired with deep fried eggplant medallions & peas. Yummy! The ribs were a bit dry & not fall off the bone so I would not recommend that. The pasta was ok but nothing special. For the desserts we ordered the choclate cake & Sunday. Both fantastic! The flaky sea salt on the cake was a nice addition! Service was also very good & the vibes were nice. Would come back again for the grilled fish & the crudo. However, for the price, it was a bit expensive so would only come on a special occasion.
Great restaurant, the patio is incredible. Is trying to be a lot of things, would think it needs to focus a little bit more. The menu / meals felt like upscale American bistro executed by a French chef. Cocktails are good.
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.
