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.
Excellent place! The restaurant is so pretty & enjoyable, the patio is stunning. Food was honestly exquisite, & all the servers were kind & nice. Top restaurants in Montreal in my opinion.

Drinks, food & service - amazing 😊 we had the filet mignon & fish. Both had Michelin Star flavour & display. Atmosphere- beautiful however very loud. We wish you success & thank you for a wonderful meal.
Service was great, we went at 6pm on a Friday night & they weren't as busy yet so staff were very attentive & polite. We had the grilled peppers & cold fish to start, would recommend both, especially the grilled peppers as the flavours were more interesting. I had the pasta alla zonzzona which was delicious, my boyfriend had the bbq ribs. Good portion size for both. Fries were expensive($14) & I felt they were overcooked & we had a lot of short bits under the first layer of decent fries. We had the blackout choco cake to share which was more salty than sweet. I love desserts typically but personally I would skip this next time.

Another restaurant running just on vibes & no substance to have you going back. It wasn't a good experience for us. Waited half an hour to be seated in our booked seats & another 45m to get mediocre food with premium pricing. The cherry on top was a rude waiter with an attitude asking us weren't you supposed to leave already? - while we were eating & despite us having to wait for their delays in every item ordered, including the table itself. We had high hopes for this place but unfortunately left with a bitter taste.
We arrived on time. Very POOR greeting. Host asked us for our name. No welcome or anything. Just we need the table back in two hours. That's never a problem unless the restaurant is slow.. We eat out every week & never had such an unfriendly greeting. Especially since this was our first visit. Our server Valentin was amazing. Food was good & came steaming hot which is not always the case. The other annoying factor. We were at one of the Two Tops behind the bar. Only two were occupied & two were set. Staff were lazy & kept coming by & taking the cutlery off the table. This happened a few times & it was annoying. In any other restaurant staff would go to cutlery drawer. ROMIES should realize that when people eat out it's the WHOLE experience that counts. Need improvement in these areas.

The food was outstanding & the service impeccable. We had the fried zucchini, rib-eye & brooklyn chocolate cake for dessert. Thank you Kelsey for the amazing service!
So happy to see that this location reopened after the other restaurant closed down. The terrasse is beautiful! Had dinner here with a friend. Food was delicious with the standout items being the zucchini chips (please make this a permanent menu item!), the stracciatella & the cheesecake ice cream dessert. Would love to see fancy mocktails on the menu (although I was able to get a Virgin Caesar). Definitely worth a try!
Had a wonderful dinner at Romies! The staff was very accommodating to our group of 15 people & we were able to sit all together on their lovely terrace! the waiters were also very helpful & patient with us & made the experience, with the 10/10 food, super enjoyable 😊
We went for a moms' dinner out to celebrate my friend's birthday. Great space & playlist. Everything we ate & drank was perfect. The best burger I have had because I love a good char, & the bun to be just right- Romies nailed it. Crispy bacon, the right melty cheese, perfect thin pickle slices. The clams were fab too - so fresh & delicious & the addition of tiny pasta was genius / plus the occasional crunch & nuttiness of hazelnuts made it next level. The side veg was a star dish in itself & we understood why it sells put at first bite. The corn & tomato salad highlighted the best of local summer corn & tomatoes & the creamy corn dressing & feta, onions & fried shallots. I could go back every day to try each of the tempting salads on the menu. Then there is the Brooklyn blackout cake. The whole dessert menu sounds dreamy but the BROOKLYN BLACKOUT CAKE with its Chocolate mousse frosting, cookie whipped cream & just a little crunch of flakey salt on top should not be missed / I don't care how full you are or if you don't usually like chocolate cake. Get it. Try it. Even if, like us, you can only eat one bite & have to take it home.
Très bons plats & drinks, très belle ambiance, super service, VRAIMENT trop cher pour ce que c'est & trop petite portions. Ce sont pratiquement les prix du Toqué, sauf qu'on est très loin de la qualité du Toqué. Carte des vins correct, sélection de bière laisse à désiré pour 2024 en étant situé à Montréal.
