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.

We had a delightful dinner here to celebrate my daughter's 19th birthday! We had a good sized group- 8 of us- & the staff were so welcoming. It is a beautiful restaurant, with a lovely & cozy atmosphere & the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered a number of mezzes & a few main plates & everything was fabulous! We definitely plan to return many times over!

Nous étions un groupe de 10. On nous a proposé un assortiment de différents mezze froids-chauds & plats principaux à partager. C était parfait. Ambiance chaleureuse. Une belle expérience.

Excellent restaurant de quartier, qui sert des mets du Moyen-Orient mais avec un brin d'originalité. Bien apprécié de toute la famille

We heard about this Mediterranean halal restaurant & my friends & I had to try it! We really enjoyed the food & the service by Mr. Shaker. He was very welcoming & took great care of us. Must try their octopus & fried haloumi. The ambiance was quite cozy with tribal decor. They have a beautiful terrace garden for summer brunch. We will be returning soon!

Beautiful setting & atmosphere. Servers were helpful. I was disappointed with their signature dish, the lamb shank'Fez', which I found tough, dry, & stringy. & expensive! Also the vegetables were a little undercooked, & there could have been more of them. What do carrots cost? Mussakaka was good. $115 for 2, without alcohol.

Solid restaurant with middle-eastern flair & a twist on some classics. The lentil soup was a favourite.

Un accueil & un décor chaleureux, un service sympathique (mais pas trop) & précis, des mets dont les saveurs n'en finissent plus de se développer une fois en bouche, bref, pas très loin de la perfection. Merci, nous reviendrons certainement!
