Had lunch there last week. First time. I'll be back again and again and again ššš
We started with the bruschetta and potato croquettes and it was amazing. Really traditional bruschetta which we love. I had the Porchetta for main and it was divine. My eldest declared this is his new favourite restaurant. Canāt wait for dessert am having the Nutella Pizza!!!
The Royal has an excellent Italian ristorante embedded within. Beautiful fresh food. The linguine marinara excellent and ravioli exquisite.. The calamari fritto light and tasty. Excellent pub grub really itās more. Lots of areas from dining room to bar cater for all. Grazi.
I had rather positive and enjoyable lunch here and I will happily return here in the near future for 2nds.
The restaurant is clean, tidy and roomy giving it a nice relaxed atmosphere, the wait staff I encountered there were friendly didnāt linger and were very quick to respond.
The food was enjoyable and pleasant but not with out its down sides.
We started with the bruschetta which was very tasty but was a very small serving for 12.9, and was served cold as if it was served strait from the fridge and Iām not a big fan of tomato served at under 5 degrees.
Next the mains were the fish of the day and spaghetti bolognese.
The fish of the day was nice but at 26.9 the serve of fish was very sad, and being only served with 2 pieces of broccoli and a bed of pasta and sauce it just didnāt hit the spot with the serving size. Donāt get me wrong this dish was very tasty just disappointed in the amount.
The spaghetti bolognese was good a very standard staple. The serving size was fine and came with a very generous helping of parmesan and was topped with a very delightful pesto.
And for dessert we had a very tasty Nutella pizza with honeycomb.
This was rather splendid, the pizza base was nice and a good generous amount of Nutella was spread over the pizza. No honey comb was spared in topping the pizza off, and the side of chocolate gelato was very pleasing. Only downside was it is served with ample amount of mint leaves that covered the pizza but they are easy to pick off, so no real problem there.
And for drinks I was rather delighted to see pims on the drink menu so I could not pass up he chance of grabbing a jug of pims which was delicious I might add.
So to finish off I was very pleased and will happily recommend anyone to go give this place a try.
I regularly go for coffee or pizza here. You can't book a table unless you have more than 6 people. Very popular so it can be noisy. The bar upstairs is nice too.
The Royal is my place to go when i want good Itallian. The service is always friendly & the food is always consistant. Nothing better than finishing dinner off with an afagato :)
Unbelievable service, food and atmosphere. Ā One of the best Gnocchi dishes I've ever had, and don't get me started on the calamari.... Ā Couldn't recommend highly enough!!!
Agree with other comments advising of this places buziness. Came here on a Wednesday night and nearly no seats left. Staff were friendly and the food was good so can't complain. The only downer is the parking which is just crap in Nundah everywhere.
Firstly make sure you book ahead,
The Royal is a busy place on the weekends. I really like the interior of The
Royal, it looks like a traditional pub but the restaurant has a homely
ItalianĀ vibe. They have a good selection of items on the menu (pizza, pasta,
seafood, steak). I order the vegetarian gnocchi, it was tasty and reasonably
priced. All in all a nice place to have dinner and if you feel like kicking on
after dinner there are plenty of new bars in the area that are worth checking
out.
3 mates tried this pub/restaurant for lunch. Having been to the pub as way back as the 70s I was very concerned at my friends taste. What a surprise. Lovely ambience. Excellent bar set up. Restaurant meals were really enjoyed. The service was fantastic. We left saying we will be back.
My friend Jenny & I loved the place. It had great ambience & acoustics. A beautiful antique decore & setting. We saw Tex Perkins & his good friend Matt Walker. It was a sit down show of quite a mature fan base. My friends dancing š was not appropriated. A great place.
This is right in the of the Nundah strip ! Tonight was my lucky night as often itās totally booked out particularly Friday and Saturday night
The Italian style restaurant is a great asset
Providing classic Italian dishes such as
The place has nice enough ambience and aesthetics, for a local pub it's not bad. What I can't understand though is why the food menu is solely Italian.
It's not that the pizza is bad, it's pretty good really, but who goes to a pub for 'traditional' Italian food?
Drinks also a little expensive, they should offer lube if they wanna charge $16 for a ginger beer
I had my Brotherās early birthday dinner at the Royal Nundah 5 days ago and the service was great! The food was cooked perfectly, drinks were well made, thanks Conor! And special thanks to Holly L., Naomi and Georgia for tolerating a big crowd. Great experience overall.
Hubby and I are regulars at the Royal, we love the food and atmosphere here. Staff are awesome! More so, we are always given the best customer service from attendant Joel. From the time we arrive to when we leave he is always ensuring we are well looked after, we always look forward to seeing him on duty. Thank you Joel for always giving us the best experience every time, you are an asset to Royal Hotel šÆ
