Romeow Cat Bistrot

Romeow Cat Bistrot, located in Rome’s eclectic Ostiense neighborhood, is a trailblazing vegan cat cafe that elevates the traditional concept with a sophisticated twist, founded by Valentina and Maurizio in 2014. This chic retreat welcomes guests to dine amidst eight charming resident cats—rescued via the “Luna di Formaggio” nonprofit—while enjoying a seasonal menu of organic, gourmet vegan and raw vegan dishes, such as fregola with Sicilian broccoli or tempeh with Roman artichoke cream, crafted with international flair. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., the bistrot operates distinct hours for breakfast (10–11:30 a.m.), lunch (1–3:45 p.m.), afternoon snacks (4–6:30 p.m.), and dinner (8–11 p.m.), with mandatory reservations for restaurant service and a “Mood Menu” requirement during bistro hours, ensuring a curated experience. Beyond its culinary delights, Romeow offers a cozy, cat-friendly ambiance with zen coloring books on tables, a 10% discount for cyclists, and custom vegan birthday cakes, making it a beloved haven for foodies, feline enthusiasts, and those seeking a mindful escape in Italy’s Eternal City.
