Romies receives polarized feedback, with many patrons praising its vibrant, chic atmosphere, exceptional service from specific staff members, and standout dishes like the fried zucchini, pasta alla zozzona, and chocolate cake. While frequent visitors describe it as a top-tier destination for cocktails and social gatherings, others feel the menu is somewhat basic for the price point, pointing to inconsistencies in food quality, portion sizes, and service efficiency. Experience seems to vary depending on the occasion, as private events occasionally result in booking cancellations or limited menu variety, and some diners find the high cost difficult to justify given the overall value. Despite these mixed reports regarding pricing and occasional service lapses, many diners consider the restaurant a must-visit spot in Montreal and appreciate the beautiful design and inviting terrace.
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.
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
Romies has a stunning atmosphere & the drinks are top-notch, but the experience falls flat for the price. Being told upfront that we had a strict two-hour window before the next reservation was off-putting, especially when you're about to drop over $200. The entrees were disappointing; the Brutus salad tasted like it had store-bought dressing, & the beef tartare was bland. We ended up canceling our main dishes. Overall, it's an okay spot if you're just grabbing drinks, but it doesn't live up to the hype or the price tag.
