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.

Our Specialties

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

Review Summary

Rumi is described as a warm, inviting spot with beautiful décor and a Middle Eastern vibe, where generous portions, flavorful mezze and main courses, and fresh ingredients meet attentive, friendly service. The atmosphere is cozy and often lively, sometimes enhanced by live music and a charming terrace garden, making it suitable for intimate dinners as well as groups and celebrations. Guests repeatedly note excellent service, accommodating staff, and good value for the quality, with dishes ranging from hummus and halloumi to lamb shank and merguez highlighted as standouts. The tea service, desserts, and overall balance of sweetness and spice add distinctive touches, and the space feels welcoming to families and friends alike. Overall, Rumi emerges as a reliable go-to for diverse flavors, a festive yet comfortable ambience, and a dining experience that invites return visits.

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.

Excellente cuisine savoureuse, menu de 4 services à 65,00$ très honnête. Trio de musiciens très professionnels, qui sonne un peu fort, compte tenu de la taille de l'espace & du rôle qui lui est sans doute conféré, soit de créer une musique d'ambiance & non un spectacle. Restaurant à recommander!
