Romy’s Events + Catering — Restaurant in Aurora

We were visiting Toronto for the Thanksgiving Holiday and we asked friends for a nice lunch recommendation and they recommended Romy's. This place is absolutely a gem.

Reservations: The restaurant is small so definitely make a reservation if you can. They are open only for lunch, they have take out during the day and since they are not open for dinner they have fresh prepared dishes that can be picked up for dinner with instructions on how to warm them and serve at home.

Ambiance: The restaurant is very clean and has an outstanding ambiance.

Service: The staff is extremely courteous and helpful in picking out the dishes and talking through their specials. The Chef even spent time with us. Him and his wife run the restaurant and they are a lovely couple; it is obvious they have poured their life and soul in this restaurant.

Food: The menu speaks for itself (see pic). I went there with my family and I swear I wanted to order a few dishes to try but settled on one for now. I can guarantee you that I will be back. Here is what we ordered:

Appetizers - We ordered fries and the Casava Croquettes. They were absolutely to die for. For the table they brought in homemade plantain chips and casava chips. The sauce that came with the Casava Croquettes was very unique and super tasty.

Mains Peppercorn Steak Sandwich: I ordered this sandwich and I have to say it was the perfect size (not too big and not too small). The Swiss cheese was high quality and the beef was cut in bite sized chunks that complemented the sandwich perfectly. The chef had some crispy fried onions on the top which was a nice accent to the sandwich...each bite was incredible. I got the salad for my side which was tossed with a vinaigrette dressing and it was very tasty. Halloumi Grilled Cheese: My wife ordered this with a side of salad and she thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich. Penne with Cream Sauce (added Chicken): My 7 year old ordered this (added chicken) from the adult menu and there was only one bite left at the end. I tried the alfredo sauce and it was a PERFECT sauce - not too heavy or cheesy but very rich and tasty. Grilled Striploin: My 14 year ordered this. The strip was not fatty and perfectly seasoned. The vegetables that came with it were crunchy and lightly seasoned (perfect amount of salt and taste) - cauliflower, broccoli, green beans, and carrots. I had to try them b/c they looked like they were cooked almost perfectly (not over done and had a great shine that they were just perfect).

Desert Apple Crumble: My kids ordered this and we tried it. It was very fresh and not overpoweringly sweet; it was great.

Coffee My wife and I ordered the cappuccino and the presentation was just outstanding

I would HIGHLY recommend you try this restaurant; I know the next time we are in town we will be visiting Romy's again.

A few things of note:

1. The price of the meal was totally affordable which was shocking given the quality of the meal, the ambiance, and the service.
2. This place is kid friendly; the kid's menu is attached.
3. The restaurant offers catering services for private parties. We will likely take them up on...

I have ordered Take Out a number of times now from Romy's and all I can say is WOW!!!

The Curbside pickup is seamless and easy, (especially during Covid-19)

First time we ordered take out, we ordered the Chicken Skewers and Vegetable Fritters and they were perfection. The chicken was cooked beautifully, and they were able to work around allergies I had, and accommodated with great options (for example, I could not have tzatiki sauce, so they had put in freshly made hummus)

The vegetables fritters were SO good, that I had to order them again recently with our next take out order. The tamarind sauce accompanies the fritters perfectly. They do not get soggy which could be a concern, but they still had a crisp to them.

The most recent take out order we did, we had the Mixed Grill, Grilled Salmon and Vegetable Fritters with a side of rice.

The Mixed Grill was TO DIE FOR!!!! The steak was like eating butter, it melted in your mouth, the chicken was so simply perfect, and the sausage had so much flavor.

The Salmon was cooked to perfection and the Maple Pommery Sauce is delicious on literally ANYTHING!

When we got home with our order, we noticed there was an added treat which was the most delectable brownies I think I have ever had.

The owners of Romy's go above and beyond for their guests and it truly shows.

I look forward to ordering again next week!

Thank you Romy's Staff for all you do during...

What a dinning experience and a great place to celebrate our anniversary!

I cannot rave about this restaurant enough! I had a hard time deciding on what to get because all the choices sounded delicious, but I landed on the Burrata Ravioli bowl & my husband had the Curry Chicken.

When they arrived at the table the smell was divine and we were both jealous of the others choices. Everything is freshly made with love and you can taste it in every bite.

The dessert...OH. MY. GAWD. I’m not a huge cheesecake person, but the baklava cheesecake was recommended and I think I tasted heaven!

The price is reasonable, the atmosphere inviting and the staff fantastic. We will be going...
