"La Royal is a Peruvian restaurant located at 221 Concord Ave. in Cambridge’s Observatory Hill neighborhood. It is the sibling to the acclaimed Celeste in Somerville and is operated by co-owners Maria Rondeau and JuanMa Calderón. La Royal offers a varied and ambitious menu inspired by regional cuisines of Peru, featuring dishes like arroz con pato from Chiclayo and chupe de langostinos from Arequipa. The restaurant, which occupies an early-1900s building, plans to expand its offerings to include lunch service and a small shop selling goods from artisans in Peru and Guatemala." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
