The Royal

What a lovely day at the Royal! The Royal offers gourmet sandwiches at affordable prices. I tried the 8 Hour slow cooked beef with pickles, melted provolone & red cabbage slaw served on baguette and a sparkling lemonade, both of which were made in house. The slow cooked beef was cooked to perfection and despite seeming like a small portion, it was very filling and certainly satisfying! I also really loved the Royal's interiors, small cozy and cool. Will be returning when I venture around Darlinghurst again!

Great hole in the wall style place with nice outdoor seating - very French feel about it. Haven't tried the food but had a quick takeaway coffee. They use the little marionette coffee. Running a LM Linea. Coffee was alright - had a double shot small flat white and it tasted a bit washed out. Not a very strong blend or perhaps had it when the beans were getting on the stale side. Still an ok coffee though - would go again.

This place is like a second home to me, fostering a nice crew of regulars with chilled out service and banter. Coffee has always been excellent. Food equally so with the classics: poached eggs, avo on toast, etc all cooked and presented beautifully, while their signature dishes: pikelets, chorizo salad, the HLT, are all brill. Great hang spot if you've got a few lazy hours to burn.

Ordered the smashed eggs with avocado and the egg whites were under cooked and runny all through the avo. Couldn't eat it and sent it back. To be fair, they did refund me in full.

Maybe give this one a miss unless you want a side of loud Irish rock during Sunday morning breakfast. Definitely avoid if you have a hangover, there are many to choose from in the area.

Amazing coffee and a great variety of food!!! I would definitely recommend trying this place. Keep up the good work guys!!

Food at this place is Instagram worthy! Truffle eggs are a winner. Fave breakfast spot.

Ok breakfast spot. All seating is open so dress warm on cold days.

Absolute sensation! Can't go past the BLT with H! Excellent coffee and service.

Good service, delicious food and nice ambience. It took a little bit to be served but it was worthy it.
