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.

It was such a wonderful experience to dine at Rumi Restaurant in Montréal! My friend had 3 dishes from the Meze menu, I had the salmon & we enjoyed the homemade ginger drink. The food was so delicious & the service so good. We also enjoyed the music very much, & even had to ask for some new musical recommendations from the tracks that caught our attention (though the volume was very comfortable & not interfering at all with our conversation). We would lone to return here again when back in Montréal! Such a pearl of a restaurant! Thank you!!

Ce restaurant propose, en plus de plats principaux, un excellent choix de mezzés chauds & froids. Nous étions deux amies & avons choisi de partager cinq mezzés (4 chauds), en plus de commencer le repas par une copieuse soupe & de finir par un dessert. C'était amplement suffisant pour deux personnes. L'atmosphère est agréable, chaleureuse, ce n'était pas bruyant même un samedi soir. Je trouvais chouette de voir des enfants autour de quelques tables. Le prix du vin s'avère raisonnable. Bref, un bel endroit!

Belle découverte! Hier soir, je visitais ce resto pour la première fois avec mon conjoint. Tous les plats commandés étaient vraiment bons & les portions généreuses & le service attentionné. J'ai échappé une carotte par terre & notre serveur nous a apporté un bol contenant plusieurs légumes pour compenser. La déco est très belle! Ambiance chaleureuse! Nous reviendrons en été. Il y a une belle terrasse qui fait le tour du restaurant. J'adore la cuisine du Moyen-Orient, tellement savoureuse! J'ai été comblée!!

Je suis constamment régalée à chaque passage chez RUMI. Hier, c'était dîner digne des mille & une nuits avec musiciens.

Going to Rumi on a snowy day where time stops allows you to remember that warmer places exist & can enchant you with tastes & flavours that make you travel. The service is so detailed & makes you salivate. You feel like no matter what you choose flavour & delight will unfold. You will find a welcoming warmth & service at your attention.

La nourriture est tres bonne , le the a la menthe marocain ne goute pas vraiment la menthe. Le service est lent mais les serveurs sont gentils/gentilles

Je vais au Rumi pour mon brunch d'anniversaire depuis environ 5 ans, en plus de quelques soupers ici & là... & je viens d'y passer la soirée du nouvel an. C'est à chaque fois une expérience tellement agréable, autant sur le plan de la nourriture que du service, & l'ambiance est inégalée. Le seul hic, c'est qu'il n'y a plus le magnifique gâteau chocolat-cardamome, qui était la cerise sur le... gâteau d'une soirée au Rumi! En attendant qu'il ne réapparaisse sur le menu, je recommande fortement le Djaj meshwy, la kefta, le labneh & les aubergines farcies.

The food was amazing. The atmosphere was perfect. The service was very slow when it's about the main dishes. Another thing happened is that, I added 5$ tip, however one of the servers didn't like that & he told me politely that here we accept only 10% minimum as a tip. I didn't like that reaction because after all he didn't do anything special & I am free to use my money the way I like.

Had a vegetarian dish, ok but not too impressive, to be honest.

This restaurant is a real gem! A delicious fusion of north African & middle east cuisines. I have had both brunch & dinner there. It is really rare to find a good brunch restaurant that offers reservations & thus no lineups! The service is very friendly & the server helped us with some special dietary restrictions to make the meal excellent for everyone. A refreshing menu in a intimate setting in the middle of the plateau. Highly recommend. 2 or 3 stairs at the entrance for accessibility.
