Latin snacks, wood-fire-grilled dishes & shaved-ice cocktails
"Located in the heart of the historic LeDroit Park neighborhood, Royal is an all day spot – coffee shop by day and bar/kitchen by night. Beautiful. Elegant. Intimate." - Cherry Blossom Creative
"Arepas, anyone? This neighborhood favorite has gluten-free dishes like roast chicken soup, pan-seared rockfish and many varieties of the Venezuelan favorite. Dietary restrictions are clearly marked on their menu." - Missy Frederick
"Royal is one of the first shops to occupy the all-day cafe niche in the D.C. scene. In the morning, go for Counter Culture Coffee and matcha lattes, and don’t forget to add a breakfast sandwich or arepa. Sit and stay in the stylish corner cafe or order takeout or delivery." - Tierney Plumb
"Food offerings switch depending on the time of day, but The Royal kicks things off at 10 a.m. every day; it’s a great place for a paloma or a happy hour classic cocktail ($12; rotating)." - Missy Frederick
"A restaurant offering a tamale navideños holiday luncheon influenced by traditional Christmas tamale making, with various dining options available." - Emily Venezky
