Romi's is one of the best israeli restaurants in Toronto for date night, especially if you want a strong option in St. Clair West.
Romi's is a declaration. Chef Tomer Markovitz — who spent years at Parallel on Geary Avenue turning hummus into something Torontonians hadn't quite encountered before — left to open a place named after his two-year-old daughter, and the resulting room on St. Clair West carries exactly that kind of personal weight. The lineage here is specific: Hungarian and Libyan roots braided through decades of cooking across the Middle East and North Africa, expressed in a 26-seat space that runs bright and white by day and candlelit at night. It is not a restaurant pretending to be a bakery, or a bakery pretending to be a café — it is a place where morning challah and evening brisket exist on the same continuum, and where nearly everything except the pita (sourced from New York) is made in-house from scratch each day.
