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.

This was our first visit & the four of us were really impressed with the food. We would just suggest that the staff be a bit more friendly.

RUMI est depuis longtemps, notre resto préféré pour un dépaysement & une expérience différente des autres restos. Nous célébrons l'été sur leur jolie terrasse depuis plus de 15 ans. C'est toujours le fête 🤗!

Unfortunately, the food & service weren't as great as used to be. The appetizers were as tasty as before but the main plates' quality & flavour were a bit disappointing. The service personnel wasn't attentive, not checking if we needed a second drink or not.
Overall, it was very different from the last experience I had back in the early 2020, but considering they survived during the pandemic, the new menu is adopted to the current condition. Will try again but not anytime soon.

One of the best restaurants in Montréal. Fantastic dishes, amazing & refreshing drinks ( mint lemonade perfect in August). Sat outside on beautiful terrace. Peaceful & quiet on Hutchison & Fairmont. Delighted to be there after a long year plus lock down Covid disruption.

Nourriture excellente, service ok, mais le resto a besoins d'amour, terrasse un peu surcharge de tables.
Expérience positive on y retournera car les plats en valent la peine

We hadn't been to Rumi for a while but it was always one of our favourite places. Something was missing this time around though. The food used to be great but now ours was average. Good atmosphere & pleasant experience but nothing 'special' as it had been previously.
