Romies is more than just an restaurant; it's a destination where memories are made, relationships are nurtured, and a sense of belonging is cultivated.
Join us as we invite you to indulge in an experience that celebrates tradition and embraces the excitement of the new.
Overall, the reviews paint Romies as a place with a stunning ambience and a lively terrace, where the food is frequently praised for freshness and flavor, especially crudo, fried zucchini, pasta alla zozzona, and well prepared steaks, and the drinks and desserts are a highlight for many; the service is often described as attentive and friendly, though several readers report occasional slow or inconsistent service, miscommunications about menu items or availability, and prices that feel steep for some portions, leading to a nuanced view where many would return for the atmosphere and certain dishes but some would choose it primarily for drinks or a dessert splurge.
We had our wedding at Romies with 72 guests & it was super intimate.
We had our ceremony & cocktail hour in the courtyard, & our reception inside the restaurant. First off, the staff is 10/10 - service was incredible & the food was outstanding. We had an open bar & family style dining. We had antipasti & focaccia to start, catalina salad & fried zucchini followed by pasta alla zozzana, rib eye, branzino as the mains, & fries + side veg. Finished off with the Black out cake which was out of this world + our wedding cake. The food was never ending. Everyone was so well fed.
Nick & his team were so organized. We mostly dealt with Franck & Camille & they were very accommodating + responsive.
Thank you, Romies ♥?

This place has a great vibe. The moment you walk in you are struck by the decor & ambiance.
The food is quite good, but is is very expensive for what it is. $41 (before tip & tax) for a medium sized burger & fries is insane. $36 for a basic pasta dish with just sauce & cheese?
At those prices you can eat at the best restaurants in the city. While Romies is good, it is not even close to the best in the city.
The service was good, but again, at these prices it should be the highest level of service which it is not.
I will be back, but likely for just drinks since the food is really not worth it.
Service exceptionnel, cuisine incroyable, le meilleur crudo ever
Notre expérience a été remarquable, merci à toute l'équipe & à Alex pour le service de grande qualité
The sun was shining & I needed a drink, it felt like spring.I came in to Romies to a welcoming smile. They sat me down at the bar where Nino proceeded to make me the best pornstar cocktail I have ever had. I ordered the tortellini & was amazed by how deep in flavour the pistachio pesto was. Amazing service by Tommy, always checking in to see if I needed anything. Such a great experience truly a must stop for ANYONE. Doesn't matter who, doesn't matter why.
You finish a long weekday at work on a weekday nearby. You walk in at 6:30 in a suit hoping to have a whiskey (or two) by the bar. The restaurant is half empty with not a single person sitting at the bar.
You're then told you must order food if you are to occupy a seat because seats are held for customers who eat.
Business must be great to be turning people away with an empty restaurant.
the food is really good not going to lie (all the appetizers were 100/10) however the quality of the beef was mediocre.
for a 5 star restaurant the service wasn't very attentive & there wasn't much attention to detail. basic steps of service were not met, as well as we waited over 30 mins for a glass of wine where we had to flag down a different server to remind them about it, but even then afterwards no body came in to check up on us until the food was done.

Lighting around some tables were very dim(some foodies need light for those photos & you know the girlies love photos)😆
, food was great & the service also but the wait was quite awhile, I don't know if it was because of the amount we ordered or how much people were there . (I think it's better to reserve reservations) Because on the weekends it's going to be full .
If I could give their service 1000/10 I would. Franc at the host table was exceptional at making our trip to Montreal & this restaurant memorable. We came from Toronto to celebrate my sisters birthday & this restaurant was truly the highlight. From the food to the atmosphere, Romies Montreal is our new favourite restaurant! TIP: you MUST get the blackout cake, soooo good!
Jeffrey must have been having a bad night. The food was tasty but his service was off from the beginning, it genuinely felt like he hated us. Was rude & not attentive, on a Tuesday night. Don't understand why he had an attitude, it was off-putting, alongside the good food. Couldn't even crack a single smile & was rough with the water, menus, & bills.
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!!!!!
I never took the time to leave a negative review, but this was by far the worst service I've ever experienced. Our server had a severe attitude throughout the night. When our cold dessert took over 40 minutes & we politely asked about it, he shrugged us off & later dropped it on the table without saying a word. The table next to us even found a large shard of glass in their food, & there was a mistake on their bill at the end of the night.
To make matters worse, there was a mistake on my bill as well that I noticed after paying. When I brought it up, the server simply dropped the cash for the error on the table & walked away. I returned the cash & asked for a proper refund & repayment to simplify things, I noticed on my statement the next morning that the credit was incorrect & I was actually credited less than I should have been. After following up by email, one of the owners confirmed the mistake, they offered a $50 gift card instead of correcting the charge. Given the experience, I politely asked for a simple credit instead, my emails suddenly stopped going through (my email was blocked). I resent the message from another email address which did go through, but that one was completely ignored.
Despite remaining respectful the entire time, the restaurant clearly had no interest in resolving the issue…. Extremely disappointing.
UPDATE (after owner response): I'd like to clarify a few points raised by the owner.
Firstly, I never claimed that I was charged twice; I simply stated that I was incorrectly charged, which you acknowledged in your email.
Secondly, my follow-up email from a different address went through immediately after the original one didn't, which makes the explanation about your email issues very difficult to believe.
Thirdly, while a $50 gift card was offered, it was never actually provided (nor did I request it), & the billing error was never corrected on your end. I ultimately had to contact my credit card company to have the charge reversed… even after you regained access to your emails since being'hacked' last week.
Lastly, it's disappointing that you chose to ignore the other points raised in my review, as well as in several other reviews criticizing the service you claim to ensure is'great.' If issues like these are not acknowledged, it's difficult to see how the service can improve.

Superbe expérience chez Romies hier soir en famille. Tout était excellent du début à la fin : cocktails, vin, crudo & entrée, puis le poisson & le steak parfaitement cuits & pleins de saveur. Les portions sont généreuses & parfaites à partager. Mention spéciale aussi à l'extrême gentillesse des serveurs, qui ont rendu la soirée encore plus agréable. On y retournera sans hésiter !
Une belle découverte grâce à ma fille. Nous avons passé une très agréable soirée. Cocktail & repas délicieux. Personnel très accueillant & attentionné (validation des allergies). D'accord c'est dispendieux mais cela vaut la peine une fois de temps en temps de se gâter à vivre cette expérience.
Loved the experience. Drinks were great, everything that I had was a big hit & super tasty. Great vibe amazing time & the team serving us was very cool!
On a commander des pâtes, avons spécifié de ne pas mettre du porc ,les deux fois il y avait du porc. Chose bizarre aussi, un autre avis négatif parlais du même incident.
