About us

Restaurant Rumi offers you a culinary experience of the Silk Road that once crossed Central Asia and the Middle East. A route that linked cities, oases and markets... great traditions, formidable kingdoms.

The Silk Road was also the route of spices, generous in fragrance and flavor. We invite you to be inspired by the spirit of the travelers, merchants and pilgrims who, for centuries, exchanged goods, riches and important cultural elements.
A spirit of discovery and openness.

We aim to create a hospitable atmosphere conducive to meaningful encounters. A setting in which to take the time to restore oneself in the sense of regaining strength and meaning.

As far as possible, our cuisine favors local, organic and sustainable agriculture. All the meat we serve is halal.

We give priority to fresh, local produce.

Homemade juice, Mezze, Braised lamb, Roast lamb & Middle Eastern brunch.

The service is consistently described as attentive and friendly, with staff guiding guests through shared plates and a wide range of options that suit families, friends, and couples. While a few notes mention occasional slower service or a dish not meeting expectations, the overall feedback highlights fresh ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and hospitality that makes diners want to return.

La nourriture était très bonne, les cafés également. Cependant, de l'avis même de la serveuse, ce n'était pas leur meilleur matin : cafouillage dans les commandes, ingrédients non disponibles, beaucoup d'attente, etc. Je me faisais une joie d'y retourner, là je suis moins pressée disons.

Bouffe bonne & service top, mais on dirait que les plats ont perdu un peu de peps & il manque de quoi à l'ambiance. Un peu déçu, on reviendra cette été sur la magnifique terrace avec notre chien, en espérant que nos attentes seront comblées.

We had a wonderful evening at Rumi Restaurant. I was in the habit of going there very often the past twelve years or so (it was my favourite restaurant in Montreal), but the last two times I was there (over six months ago), I noticed a decline in the quality of the food & ambience. This last time, I was delighted to find the old Rumi! Thank you for offering us a unique culinary experience, together with a taste of a traditional Islamic decorative ambience. Absolutely wonderful! The only negative point I can mention from last night was the music: instead of consistent traditional Islamic/Sufi music, there was a mixture with jazz that I found off-putting. The traditional Islamic/Sufi music is MUCH better & well-suited to the ambience Rumi uniquely offers.
