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.

All was very delicious & we got a fine welcome. There was only one person waiting on tables indoors & on the beautiful terrasse, still we were able to have a leisurely lunch & got everything we asked for with a smile.
This was a return visit with my group of friends since our winter visit was an excellent experience.

Très belle découverte. Tout était excellent. Le hummus, la salade fattouche, les calmars grillés, le fromage halloumi, le jarret d'agneau & le dessert afghan au lait. Service très courtois. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter.

Un lieu vivant & chaleureux, un hommage au Moyen-Orient dans sa tradition d'accueil & multiculturelle, avec une nourriture maison pleine de parfums & de saveurs, & créative. J'espère que Rumi restera encore longtemps ce havre ! & que dire du couple de merveilleux musiciens jouant de la musique des balkans, Sergiu Popa à l'accordéon, & Noemy Braun au violoncelle. Bonheur !!!!!

J'adore le Rumi !!!!! La nourriture est excellente, fraîche & si goûteuse !!! La pastilla au poulet goûtait le ciel, j'ai même eu un frisson tant les saveurs étaient harmonisées !!!!! Les mezzes froids avec le pain Naan grillé & tendre, les merguez dodues, avec un goût parfumé de plus, que je n'avais jamais goûté dans des merguez ! Le riz aux saveurs mélangées aussi, quelles saveurs :) Idem pour les desserts, la tarte mousse chocolat & framboises, avec la pâte croquante ... un délice !!! Le pouding lait & cardamome avec eau de rose, est toujours un coup de coeur, & d'une portion généreuse, miam ! Quoique cette fois, il était moins crémeux, légèrement trop cuit, mais cela n'était jamais arrivé auparavant, alors c'est certain que je vous pardonne ;-)
C'est une nourriture de coeur & de palais :) & le lieu est magnifiquement chaleureux, tant à l'intérieur que sur la terrasse :) On était si bien & détendues, qu'on a rit aux éclats plusieurs fois ! Merci au personnel à la cuisine, & à toute l'équipe !!!! Longue vie encore au Rumi & à la prochaine !!!
Lorraine Doré, & Manon Alarie, qui s'est tout autant délectée ;-)

My friend & I had a fantastic lunch here. The dishes tasted flavourful & unique, while highlighting the ingredient's natural taste. Our favourite was the kefta.

On retrouve les couleurs, le goût & l'ambiance du Maghreb.
