Join us as we invite you to indulge in an experience that celebrates tradition and embraces the excitement of the new.
Romies offers a lively Montreal dining experience with a warm, stylish vibe and a crowd that appreciates shareable plates, bold crudo and fried zucchini, and well executed mains like steak and pasta. The food is frequently described as delicious and flavorful with standout desserts such as the blackout cake, and cocktails and wine are also praised, as is the terrace and interior which create a welcoming atmosphere. Service is often attentive and friendly, though a number of reviews note inconsistent pacing and some slow moments, and prices are considered high for what is offered. Overall Romies is seen as a top pick for friends and celebrations, with many guests planning to return to enjoy the food and ambiance despite these drawbacks.
Personally I found this place pretty mid. It's a place to go for the vibes & appetizers than the actual food. The fried zucchini was delicious! I would go back anytime for that. Everything else was super meh. The pasta was actually not that great. There was so much cheese that it was a bit disgusting to eat & the flavours were nothing special. Very basic. I know the pasta has gone very viral & I had very high hopes but overall it was super disappointing. Any influencer/content creator that pushed this pasta forward has definitely lost all credibility. Overall I would only go back to enjoy the fried zucchini & grab food+dessert elsewhere. You can buy a whole cake for the price you pay for a slice of cake…which again is nothing special or worth paying for.
10/10 fast, quick & good prices. Sure me & my partner shared our food, but sharing is worth it, to try much at Romie's the pasta is AMAZING, The focaccia is beautiful & the service was superb.

Nouveau coup de coeur dans le vieux-port ! Honnêtement, c'était un sans faute du début à la fin. Le service était impeccable, le cadre est parfait pour une soirée romantique & la nourriture...omg que c'était bon. Je savais pas que des courgettes frites pouvaient être bonnes comme ça. Que dire du contre filet, des hashbrowns & des pâtes.. tout était absolument délicieux. & pour terminer, j'ai mangé probablement le meilleur gâteau au chocolat de ma vie. À essayer absolument !
Overall a great experience, the service was pleasant, Adam took good care of us & helped with some suggestions as well. The room had a very nice warm atmosphere & the food was great. I would highlight the fried zucchini & the steak. I've had better caesar's & fries but everything was yummy. You could tell the staff enjoyed providing a pleasant evening & they did a great job at doing so.
I went to Romies as a group for a celebration & the whole experience as a 5+ for all of us. We were welcomed with warm smiles, the atmosphere was busy & inviting, the service was quick & attentive & the food was delicious! We (all) can't wait to go back!
C'était pour la fête de ma fille, je suis passé plein de fois devant (je travaille pas loin) mais je n'ai jamais fréquenté l'établissement, vu le décor, je me disais que les plats devait avoir un certain prix. Mais que ne ferait-on pas pour la fête de sa fille ?
Nous avons soupé en famille en cette belle fin de semaine au début de l'été. Il était encore tôt & la place était presque vide. Le décor, l'ambiance, la lumière donnaient le ton & faisaient en sorte que cet endroit cossu était un havre de paix pour les clients. Nous avons pris du Foccacia fait maison, (délicieux), courgettes frites, tartare, disons le, ça commence bien un repas de fêtes, jusqu'au moment ou le garçon chargé de remplir nos verres d'eau est venu à notre table, il sentait la sueur (pas un peu, assez fort pour que toute la table le sente)… ça nous a mis mal à l'aise. D'habitude, ça ne me dérange pas, chacun fait ce qu'il veut avec son hygiène, mais là dans un établissement de cette classe, c'est décevant. D'un autre côté, comment lui dire sans le froisser ? Question épineuse. Ce n'est jamais agréable d'écrire ce genre de chose, ni pour moi, ni pour les gens qui vont le lire. Je fréquente beaucoup de restaurants & je dois dire que c'est des rares fois ou ça a perturber notre souper, les plats suivants étaient délicieux mais l'expérience a été gâchée par cet incident. On va dire que ce n'était pas notre jour ni pour nous, ni pour le serveur.

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!
honestly don't write bad reviews often, but this experience deserves one.
I chose Romies because I liked the restaurant. I've been there before, enjoyed the food & the vibe, & trusted them enough to plan a surprise dinner for a special occasion. That was clearly a mistake.
I reached out well in advance to coordinate something very simple. I contacted them multiple times:
- via Instagram DM
- via email
- & even in person, where I explained everything clearly
Despite all of this, I received no response for over a week. No confirmation, no follow-up, nothing. Planning a surprise is already stressful, & being completely ignored by a restaurant you're trying to work with makes it unnecessarily frustrating.
What's worse is that even after explaining everything clearly - including very basic, low-effort requests - absolutely nothing was done. We specifically asked for candles on the table. This was mentioned more than once, through different channels, & even acknowledged in person. When we arrived?
No candles. No preparation. No effort.
The surprise was essentially ruined, not because the request was complicated, but because the restaurant simply did not care enough to follow through.
If you don't want to accommodate special occasions, that's fine - just say so. If you're too busy to respond, say that too. But ignoring messages, failing to communicate, & then completely dropping the ball on the day itself is unacceptable, especially from a place that presents itself as polished & attentive.
This was especially disappointing because I went out of my way to choose Romies out of loyalty. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt dismissed & overlooked.
Food & ambiance don't matter if the most basic level of professionalism is missing. If you're planning anything important, do yourself a favor & don't rely on this place to handle it.
I took the rest of my meal out & at home i found out that fries don't have good quality & i think drink was too pricey $$$
I ❤? atmosphere & staff were friendly.
Honestly an okay restaurant. You pay for the location & the instagrammy atmosphere. Everything is good. But if you serve the same plate in another city, it would be okay & half the price.

We had an amazing experience at Romie's. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, & our waiter Frank was truly exceptional! attentive, friendly, & professional. We'll definitely be back!
I have read some mixed reviews prior coming to Romies but I still wanted to give it a try during my recent visit to Montréal. Overall I like their food but there were some improvements I would like to suggest.
They didn't really have a big menu, & if they have printed on the menu I would have expected they were available to order. When I tried to order the steamed clams main dish, our server told us it was not available. & that's the only thing they didn't have on that day. I understand but also disappointed, why couldn't they told us right from the beginning? Rather than spending 15 minutes deciding what to order & then only to figure out it's not available.
The food tasted good in general but some of the items were not hot enough in my opinion. The fried zucchini was just warm but not hot. & the NY striploin dish, the side dish hashbrown also just warm but I wish it could be more hot & crispy.
The Brooklyn blackout cake looked good but I actually enjoyed their butter pecan sundae more.
La nourriture est bonne mais pas assez pour justifier le prix élevé. De plus, j'ai trouvé tous les plats un peu trop salés. Les cocktails sont bons. Ce ne fut pas une mauvaise expérience, mais je ne retournerais pas non plus.
