Royale

If you love chicken, this place is for you. If you’re vegetarian, like me, this place is also for you! Great little plates, full of flavours and french cuisine references without the snobbiness. The decor is utterly cute with a Provence style terrace, perfect for a late summer night. Desserts were to die for and the staff was super friendly… can’t wait to go back!

A local eatery than I love so much. The chicken is bit pricey at £30 for a whole bird, however it is cooked to perfection and is always juicy and tasty. The dripping potatoes are extremely flavourful due to them been cooked in the chicken dripping. Great cocktails and selection of desserts as well.

Went last night to celebrate my birthday and man…. It was GOOD!!! The anchovies with peppers and parmesan, the bread yum the rabbit rillette very good but if you go there , and you should DO NOT miss the Mushroom-truffle-Gruyere gratin- so delicious. The chicken obviously finger licking good (quite literally) we took the carcass home to make stock - it was that good! Blackberry tart was stunning and a super rich chocolate ganache. Obviously we couldn’t leave without trying the baked St Marcellin and thank goddess we didn’t it was superb. Lovely service, there when you needed them and leaving you alone to enjoy the fantastic meal. We’ll be back soon!

such a lovely atmosphere with delicious food. we had a very nice evening celebrating our anniversary, the staff were very friendly too. will be back!!

Loved the atmosphere and the salami starter, white bean dip, chicken and crème brûlée were all amazing. The servers were very friendly but they clearly need more coverage as we felt a bit abandoned at times and were left sitting with dirty dishes and an empty water bottle. A bit disappointing but would still recommend for the tasty food.

A lovely languid lunch with friends in their shady walk-way. Food is easy, breezy and delicious to boot. You must get the dripping potatoes, maybe even two servings. Great wine list as well. *bit of a struggle to carve the chook, and a finger bowl or wet wipes would have been well received.

The staff are lovely and so attentive here, makes the experience super enjoyable. Food is delicious, small plates so you can try more of the various bits and bobs.

There's a few things which one could critique at the royale in Bow, my main complaints about my visit have to be that the service was quite poor the staff members made two mistakes with my order. Those being missing something and offering a bottle of wine they didn't have. Only one just one complaint about the food the dripping potatoes were quite bland not having much flavour or really much for texture at all I must say I recommend getting the salad as a side with the chicken instead, the chicken which is the show piece of this establishment lives up to its reputation and justifies the price cooked to perfection and the taste was absolutely sublime truly tasting like legitimate chicken and nothing at all like the cheap mass farmed chicken sold in super markets, the two starters I had were the anchovies with tomato and the pork and rabbit rillete with baguette both dishes being exquisite and not too heavy my favourite easily being the pork and rabbit rillete. Further on my complaint about the service the staff did make up for it with providing a discount for the mistakes made and it truly is the little details like that and the amazing customer service when complaints are raised which made me change my mind on this restaurant. The wine selection also superb!!! In summary I recommend eating here if you want to have simple and refined food for a generally reasonable price for the standard of dining you receive.
