Absolutely incredible experience. The entire menu being 100% gluten free was such a relief and made the night even more enjoyable. The food was hands down the best we have ever had — every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The service was exceptional, warm and attentive without being overbearing. Honestly, it was the best night ever and we couldn’t speak more highly of this restaurant. We will be recommending it to everyone and can’t wait to return.
We booked The Royal for a 50 person cocktail style event and had a fantastic experience. Everything ran smoothly, the food was amazing and abundant. The pricing was transparent and matched exactly what was listed on the website, there were no hidden fees unlike some other venues we looked at. We also appreciated being able to choose our own music and having a dedicated bartender for the afternoon. Highly recommend for any event.
100% celiac safe restaurants are hard to find, but this place was amazing! The food was yummy however for the portion size it was a bit pricey. The inside of the building was stunning and would make a great date location or dinner with the family!
Came here for a large family lunch (14 people) and we left full and happy! I’ve been here before for drinks but back this time for the food and suited a family member that was gluten intolerant. Can’t believe the whole menu was suitable and great options. We opted for the $49 pp feast with a few people adding sides instead of having the feast. Lovely starter of pickles, olives, dip, ect and mains of a lamb (beautifully done), croquettes, broccolini, fries and a tomato based pasta. So much good we took leftovers. And not to forget the wonderful cocktails and mocktail selection!
100% gluten free menu!! Also used the word coelic friendly!! The Gin was so nice and the food was excellent! Love the eggplant and the duck! Also have a wheelchair elevator inside the restaurant!
Amazing food, drinks, staff, venue and prices! Highly recommend!
My partner was recently diagnosed as a coeliac, We were recommended to come here and give it a try as it’s 100% gluten free and we were not disappointed. The food was the most amazing food I’ve had in a long time. We chose the “feasting table” and every dish was delicious. We couldn’t get enough of the Korean chicken. Ethan our waiter made our night perfect, the service and attention he gave us is the kind of service you just don’t get at places anymore. He was knowledgeable about the drinks and food and always made sure everyone was having a great time. Highly recommend giving these guys a visit, you won’t be disappointed. Edited: we visited again so I’ve added more photos, once again we were blown away by the flavour
