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.

Many heartfelt thanks to the team at Rumi for providing a unique taste of the traditional Islamic world. The visual & auditory beauty one is treated to take one to another world. The experience I have had coming to Rumi for the last ten years has been a real delight!

We love Rumi! We try to visit Rumi every time we come to Montreal almost since they opened. The food is always delicious. This time we had the Fez (lamb dish), the Sulayman (chicken dish), & Haloumi Rumi, the Dhal, & the Muhammara. Enjoyed outside seating & were delighted with our meal!

Toujours aussi bon, les plats sont très goûteux & copieux. Seul regret : c'est bruyant le soir, il est difficile de s'entendre, on doit donc parler fort... pas très agréable !

I'm a former cook so more critical than most about food — & I thought the food was really good. Middle Eastern & Moroccan with North American touches — creative, fusion-y, light, plenty of vegetables. The mezze with butternut squash & the Haloumi Rumi were especially tasty — & I suspect my dinner companions would name other dishes. No complaints about the service. Slightly bohemian urban space that worked perfectly for me & my friends.

Excellent restaurant ! tout y est savoureux; une belle harmonie de textures & saveurs, odeurs. & le plaisir de souper sur la belle terrasse joliment éclairée dans ce quartier paisible.

Ne pas prendre le plat Rumi, pour le prix payé $43, la viande vient effilochée (donc pas moyen de savoir si c'est du boeuf, de l'agneau ou un mélange des 2 , dans une conjoncture où toutes les économies sont de mises!!!), mélangé à une sauce indienne afin de masquer le goût car la viande goutait tout sauf l'agneau & je sais de quoi je parle. Les légumes qui accompagnent le plat pas assez cuit, & pour couronner le tout, j'ai vomis mes trippes 30 mn plus tard.
