    Mediocre but good service

    When you read the menu it seems delicious...however..... The recommended chicken ballotine was well prepared but the taste was ordinary. The accompanying gnocchi was tough. My partner had the fish and chips and it was terrible. Soggy chips with an old oil taste. Won't be...More

    Smoking on the veranda/stoep.

    What a setting with the draw back of allowing smokers on the stoep...with no other apparent area for non-smokers. Sis man

    The old dame...history, great food and a killer GnT!

    One of the more upmarket eateries around in town. A really great dining experience backed up by a great kitchen and front of house team. I like a restaurant that doesn't try to be too pretentious - it's fancy food done for the layman...nothing too...More

    Best gnocchi I've ever had!

    The food was absolutely outstanding. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Their exotic mushroom gnocchi was out of this world. I am a huge gnocchi fan and it was honestly the best I've ever had!

    Classy vibe

    Visited with a group of friends for a birthday celebration. We were in a private area, with a warm fire. The table was decked. The birthday girl had added some finishing touches. Good selection of canapes and deserts. Bar prices weren't too steep. We opted...More

    Should not have been disappointing but it was.

    We were visiting Riebeek for the Olive festival and ate here on the Friday evening for dinner. There were 10 of us. Well, for such a well established restaurant we were all very disappointed in our meals. No variety and they even got our order...More

    Description
    Simplicity, imagination and quality of produce are key at The Royal. Head chef Francois du Toit (La Colombe, Manna Epicure) believes that food should be honest. If you say tomato it must taste like tomato, if you say fillet you should get the best our country has to offer. This philosophy together with the use of modern equipment (such as the use of Sous-Vide and Pacojet) results in creative but unpretentious dishes with "taste" as main ingredient.
