Reviews for Royal Hotel Paddington
Sasha Watson
Sunshine balcony drinks in the afternoon are spectacular. Feels like you’re stepping back into almost an old country western scene sitting upstairs looking down into the square. Love love love. Perfect little date / 2 people spot.

Great sunday roast spot in paddington. Very friendly staff. Portion for sunday roast was generous and it was delicious.

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.

Ordered the buffalo chicken tenders. Came quickly but can figure out why. Had zero flavour aside from this bottled synthetic sauce. The chicken tasted defrosted and not like proper meat, and the crum/coating was this weird moist mushy lining which was fried on the outermost surface. Having pickles was nice though. The sauce with was this bland white mixture which didn’t really taste of anything particularly. Was coeliac so this was one of the very few options for anything costing below $25

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