The Cafe Royal Grill

Me and my wife had dinner here for our 18th Wedding anniversary. The restaurant itself is within the hotel. We went on a Sunday night, so it was fairly quiet, which suited us just fine. It allowed my wife to take plenty of photos and videos without being disturbed. There was a gentleman playing the piano when we arrived, but he ended his session soon after. The service is exactly what you would expect from an up market establishment such as Cafe Royal. All the staff are extremely helpful, polite and friendly. The food was nice, it’s was light but had flavour. We pre orders halal steak and it was cooked exactly how I liked it. The portion sizes were not very large, so be prepared to spend at least £100 per person. We don’t drink alcohol so we went for Coke Zero which is £6 per bottle. The staff knew that it was our anniversary, so they gave us a free dessert and some chocolates with a plate wishing us Happy Anniversary. That was a beautiful touch. This for us was a one off but I would definitely recommend it. The room itself is beautiful, you feel really special when you’re sitting there knowing that royalty and the rich and famous have dined there.
