Royal Hotel Restaurant - Paddington

The Royal is a staple spot among locals in Paddington. Good vibes and an terrace with amazing views over the city make this a winner. Food is also good.

Run of the mill food to be honest but the surroundings are nice and good place to catch up with friends etc although you pay a premium for the location me thinks.

Go straight to the last level and enjoy the rooftop. 1st level is old and dark. The balcony is good too.

This is a hidden Paddington gem located in the middle of Fiveways! Descent pub food, the plates to share is good value for money! But the reason to come is their rooftop with stunning views of Rushcutters Bay, the CBD and parts of Sydney Harbour!

We came in at 5pm to eat with the kids. There was a high table booked at 7 so we sat down knowing we would be gone by then. Two incredibly rude staff members came over and told us we had to move as the table was booked at 7. They then stood there til we left. How can a restaurant prefer a vacant table than diners? And a lesson in manners to the staff wouldn't go astray. Really disappointing
