Food was good, service was great, no complaints what so ever. Very impressed for first time visit. Do think the menu was a bit short, but the quality was fantastic!
Highly recommend this venue! We had such a fun day today for Melbourne Cup! Staff are so amazing and friendly and the food was fantastic!
Thankyou so much to Kaitlyn for arranging our table �
Have not been here for a while however have noticed prices are now at a good level. Enjoyed the ambiance service and food. Would recommend.
Lovely setting nice and relaxing. Close to ferry terminal and bus. Pleasant menu good range of food. Worth a visit
I tend to try the chicken parma at a pub on my first visit - it’s a solid baseline to compare. The Royal exceeded expectations. Awesome Napoli on the chicken, generous ham, perfect amount of cheese and big schnitzel. Chips were excellent and so too was the simple rocket salad. Would have been 5 stars if the salad was dressed, the chicken was more tender and meal didn’t take so long that my lunch partner had already finished his bangers and mash before mine arrived.
Went for a Mother’s Day LA based brunch enjoyed fried chicken and maple bacon with zucchini fritters, I was really impressed how the fritters were fried perfectly which is a rarity I feel. Other family members also had smoked salmon and poached eggs and steak Benedict which were full of flavour and tasty.
Great beer & food.. service it’s great also knowledgeable. I only stopped in (this time) for the guest tapped beers which are always rare, limited & also of a super high standard! The few times ive eaten here the lamb shoulder & calabrese pizza is my goto foodie picks!
Great ambience and view. Good to sit outside if the weather permits. Their seafood menu is quite extensive and some menu are good for sharing. Their antipasto platter was substantial and perfectly done. Their seafood menu is pretty good too and service was attentive although I could see it was a full house when we were there. Quite impressed with the overall experience, will definitely come back.
We shared a pizza and salad and a serving of the chilli squid between three of us. The food was great but what really stood out was the service. The waiter certainly knew his wines which certainly added to the meal. The view over Claisebrook inlet was lovely. All in all, it was a great lunch.
A balmy evening in Claisebrook inlet, and always a great spot to linger on such evenings. Easily the best waterside area in Perth. Having had bar snacks and beers many a time at The Royal, it was finally time to try dinner in the restaurant.
So how was the food? Well it ain’t that adventurous. But it doesn’t have to be. My sirloin was a decent piece of good quality beef, and properly cooked medium rare. Tick. The chips were ok. But they were perked up by the jus/gravy which was in a generous pool under the meat. The small accompanying salad was adequate, the flavours being notched up in strength to suit the meat and gravy by the addition of beetroot and decent goats cheese. Tick. The other diners seemed to enjoy their food too. The only criticism that I heard was the comment that cucumber in the burger was a bit soggifying.
So while the standard of the food isn’t in my opinion up to that of the location, it’s perfectly acceptable. So go and enjoy a beer and that waterside tranquility.
Boyfriend and I went a couple of weeks ago, service is great, good wine selection, although had to wait for quite a while even just for the drinks. Food is really great and the view is amazing but it wasn't really busy so was just kinda wondering why
Stunning location, switched on and friendly staff plus gorgeous lake views. Went for NYE dinner and we were seated outside as requested. Staff were attentive and polite, although they forgot to bring us the specials menu after we asked for it, oh well. Chorizo starter was nice, bread was a bit burnt though and chorizo was served floating in a pool of oil. Nice sausage though! Mains came out so fast. Pork Belly was lovely - crispy in parts and soft and melt in your mouth in others. Flavour was nice but could have been a bit more flavoursome. E enjoyed her Cajun Chicken Burger - added haloumi was epic. Would def come back for a quick bite.
Good service nice food beautiful view thanks. Chicken parmi was juicy and yummy. Oysters so fresh. Calamari was yummy too but wish it was served a bit more.
Visited this place to celebrate my birthday earlier this year. We decided to go to East Perth for a walk but ended up having lunch here and our experience was surprisingly great!
Lived in Perth in 2013 and never dined here before. Extremely pleased for this accidental find. Good food, nice surroundings, 5 out of 5!
Great view looking across the water, I had the Barramundi with eggplant and potatos. The fish which was so fresh and perfectly cooked. Fries, garlic pizza was amazing too! Portion was huge and great value for money.
Beautiful location, great service and large pub grub meals. Good spot for a session 🍻
Oh, I so enjoyed my visit to this superb little pub. It was a wild and wet day in Perth, and the sensible person would have stayed in, heating on, and watched the AFL on the TV. I jumped in a rideshare for a quick pint and lunch at The Royal, having read a delightful review calling it a 'Soulless, dystopian pub'.
I believe that tells us so much more about the reviewer than the venue. The bar staff were all incredibly friendly. When I got there, the place was packed, so they were engaging but professional and efficient. Once the game started at Perth Stadium, it had cleared right out and I had some very fun, entertaining chats with the hospos as they had more time on their hands.
So in the end, I never got to the game. I stayed where, as one bartender observed: "It's warm, it's dry, and the beers are full strength." The food is top notch too. Great place which I'll definitely return to.
It was very quiet at 10pm on a Saturday night. So there were no queues for drinks and good drink services. The tequila was smooth. We had a great night but would have been better with some music
