"We generally try to avoid having the same restaurant group make multiple appearances on the Eater 38, but in the case of La Royal, from the same folks behind the award-winning Peruvian stunner Celeste, it’s really just that good. JuanMa Calderón and Maria Rondeau didn’t miss a beat at La Royal, which cultivates their signature transportive, fun-night-out energy in a larger space. The tart, punchy ceviches sing here, as do regional plates that nod to different aspects of Peruvian culture and food, including Peruvian Chinese, or Chifa, plates like stir-fried noodles with seafood or vegetables. On the drinks side, the pisco martini has won fans from all over, and the classic pisco sour hits the spot every time." - Eater Staff
