Romies est plus qu'un simple restaurant ; c'est une destination où se créent des souvenirs, où les relations sont entretenues et où un sentiment d'appartenance est cultivé.
Rejoignez-nous alors que nous vous invitons à vivre une expérience qui célèbre la tradition et embrasse l'enthousiasme de la nouveauté.
Les critiques sur Romies soulignent une ambiance chaleureuse et une terrasse très prisée, avec des soirs animés et un cadre qui séduit pour un dîner entre amis ou en amoureux; le service est globalement apprécié quand il est efficace et attentif, mais des expériences isolées évoquent lenteur, erreurs de service ou manque d’attention. Côté cuisine, les temps forts reviennent souvent: la focaccia maison et les courgettes frites sont décrites comme délicieuses, le crudo et les plats de pâtes, notamment la pasta alla zozzona, sont fréquemment appréciés, et le steak ou le burger obtiennent aussi des retours très positifs. Les desserts font l’unanimité chez certains convives, avec des gâteaux au chocolat ou des desserts créatifs comme le beach pie et le sundae, ce qui pousse certains à revenir surtout pour le dessert. Le rapport qualité-prix est parfois contesté, plusieurs avis estimant les portions petites ou les plats trop chers pour ce qui est servi, et quelques critiques notent que certaines préparations manquent de chaleur ou de sel. L’expérience peut aussi varier selon le moment et l’achalandage, mais nombre d’ensembles parlent d’une expérience globale mémorable, d’un lieu qui mérite le détour dans le Vieux Montréal et qui peut devenir un rendez-vous récurrent selon les envies, surtout pour profiter de la terrasse et des cocktails bien travaillés.
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.
We were a group of 15 people, the food was really good, we had the group menu with tons of options. The atmosphere was good, its warm & a little bit dark.
The desserts that we had (cheese cake & chocolate cake) were not that good, they tasted like box cakes.
Also, some of our group members were having issues getting additional drinks, the waiter was not paying attention if we needed more drinks or bread.
Overall good but just to go one time.

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.
Worth the hype. First of all-my group was late haha & without a thought they held our table for us for 15 mins on a busy Wednesday night. So thank you for that kindness. We got the beef tartare & focaccia as starters. The tartare was good but different (came atop a bland potato salad) & the focaccia was delicious. Most of my group got their famous pasta & raved about it. The grilled branzino was an underrated yet excellent dish. & the burger. My gosh- out of this world. & comes with their house ceaser salad which was so yummy & had potato chips instead of croutons. Although the dressing wasn't anchovy-ee enough for my taste. We also got all 3 desserts & all were 10/10 but the chocolate cake & blueberry sundaes are a must!! All in all a great meal in a cool trendy atmosphere
I saw another review on here that perfectly summed up my experience, but in short; the food quality & taste doesn't justify the price, unfortunately.
The flavours of each main were overpowering yet underwhelming.
Service was okay overall but we had to wait a long time to order, to get our food & then to pay.
We were about to leave quite disappointed BUT the dessert made up for it in the end! Whoever is the dessert chef is needs a raise because WOW! I would come back solely for the dulce de leche & passionfruit sundae 🤤.
Une soirée merveilleusement réussie pour la fête de mon amie!! La nourriture était délicieuse (un gros coup de coeur pour les desserts). Un immense merci à Jeana pour son service exceptionnel. Elle a vraiment contribué à rendre la soirée inoubliable.
10/10 meal. Server was amazing & all of the food was incredible. Very memorable restaurant. Don't forget to order the beach pie. Definitely the best dessert I've had in a long time. One of the best restaurants I've eaten at this year. Can't recommend it enough.

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.
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.

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!
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
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.

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.
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.
