The Royal, situated on Florida Ave near the Shaw/Howard metro station, provides a versatile dining experience as a bar, restaurant, and café. Its classy yet welcoming ambiance is complemented by attentive and friendly staff. The diverse menu features highlights such as crispy house fries with aji amarillo mayo, flaky pork empanadas, and masa gnocchi with rich queso fresco sauce. The drinks, including a rich matcha latte and inventive cocktails, are exceptional. While outdoor seating can be noisy, the interior offers a cozy atmosphere with thoughtful design.
