Reviews for Royal Hotel Paddington
Ray Guden
Went to their truffle dinner and it was terrible. Chefs were so slow they took 3 hours to finish the dishes in the tiny course they had. Though because they are a pub they probably did it on purpose so you'd keep ordering drinks. Nothing tastes good. The first dish was a garbage over burnt bread. There were no truffles except for the 1 dish with meat which had a little. Asides from the truffle the meat dish tasted good, its why this gets a 2 star on food and not 1 star. For $180 you're honestly better off flushing $168 down the toilet, going to mcdonalds and getting a big mac for the remaining $12. Quicker service, better taste, and you aren't held hostage for 3 hours. Avoid this place at all costs unless you want a beer. I take good photos. Don't let them fool you into thinking those abominations tasted good. Meat one was ok though, apparently the chef was from a good restaraunt who cooked it, so no wonder.

$21 for 8 pieces of calamari, and $11 for underdone chips. So many other places in the area so avoid.

Totally weird place. One part looks like a fairly nice restaurant, but the rest looks like it was designed so it can be hosed down each night. Also, quite expensive for beers. And even though this was my first and only visit, TWICE I saw people being charged a higher amount on the payment terminal than they should have been, and both times the staff said "oh sorry, I think that was someone else's bill". And when I mentioned this to friends who have been there before, they said that same thing happened to them in the past. Sounds a bit frequent to be a coincidence.

I visited for a friend's birthday and thoroughly enjoyed the menu and food. I tried the ribeye, steak and fries, schnitzel, gnocchi, and katsu burger, and found all the dishes to be amazing. The steaks and proteins were perfectly cooked, exceeding my expectations. The ribeye, in particular, was perfectly cooked. Strangely enough the rump actually looked and tasted better than the ribeye. Would have like it if the salad had actual dressing on it rather than just a drizzle of olive oil. The drinks and cocktails were also excellent. The QR ordering facility was not operational, and I believe implementing it would greatly improve efficiency. The customer service was fantastic, very friendly and efficient. Fix the QR ordering system and my score will be updated to 5.

We went to this place for lunch because we got a deal on the EatClub app for discounted food and drink which was really good. My friend and I both ordered burgers and it was delicious. It'd be better if the dish goes with some sort of salad in my opinion though. It was during the week so there was only one or two other tables but the food did take a bit of time to arrive.
