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.
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.
Nourriture excellente
Mais pas très bon service: J'avais donné à l'avance deux consignes importante pour la fête de mon conjoint, ils les ont tout simplement ignoré. bien decevant.
Excellent service. Les serveuses sont très gentilles & attentionnées mêmes si nous avons changé d'avis plusieurs fois. Très accueillant. L'atmosphere est chaleureuse, les plats délicieux, surtout les spécialités mijotées a l'agneau (fez), le décor inspirant. Nous allons sûrement revenir essayer le reste du menu! Merci!
Very cozy neighbourhood restaurant! Excellent lamb dishes, butternut squash & that mixed rice! It reminded me of Persian wedding rice dishes I've tasted in the past. My only complaint is about the size of some appetizers (such as the hummus): quite small for their price. Other than that, excellent, friendly service too.
Excellente nourriture avec les vraies saveurs de l'Afrique du Nord. La terrasse est très agréable & le personnel très aimable. Attention, les portions peuvent être un peu copieuses!

We had a lovely brunch at Rumi this weekend. It was our first time visiting & we were charmed by the eclectic, mystical- themed interior & friendly service. We tried two different omelettes both of which were delicious & really flavourful. We also had the Moroccan chicken pastry with cinnamon sprinkled in top (forget the name) which was like a dance on our taste buds. All the food seems to be prepared with love & care in the tradition of Sufi practice & you can really feel & taste the good energy here. We ended our meal with a pot of Persian Cardamom tea served in an exquisite silver decorated pot. It was the most fragrant cardamom tea I have ever had & a perfect way to end our meal. Would definitely recommend this place!
Nous avons adoré notre soirée au restaurant Rumi. Un délicieux repas accompagné d'un excellent vin sur une terrasse magnifique. Un jeune serveur d'une courtoisie remarquable. Toute la famille, adolescents y compris, ont exprimé leur envie d'y revenir bientôt. Merci beaucoup !
Toujours un plaisir d'aller chez Rumi: personnel attentif, déco qui rappelle les Mille & une nuits & bien sûr la nourriture! Qu'ils soient chauds ou froids, sucrés ou salés, tous les plats sont bons. Une valeur sûre!!!
