LA ROYAL

La Royal is a great place to enjoy a fantastic meal in a relaxed atmosphere. My wife and I got the scallop and blue cod ceviche which was great. The scallop was very delicate and the flavors were punchy. We also got the branzino grilled in plantain leaf as well as the duck over cilantro rice. I think family style is the way to go here. The fish was incredible. Almost melted in your mouth. I think this is a must get if you come here as long as your not squeamish about seeing the head and picking around bones. The duck was really great as well with an awesome grill/char flavor. The cilantro rice was also very good. We finished up with the mousse which was perfect and not too sweet. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The prices felt reasonable as we got a lot of food as well as 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine and it was $150 before tip. Will definitely be coming back

BOOK THIS PLACE FOR YOUR PRIVATE EVENT! We recently celebrated our marriage at La Royal, and I am at a loss for words to adequately express how incredible their service was. From the moment we arrived, Kerstin and the entire team went above and beyond to make our celebration unforgettable. They took care of every detail, going the extra mile to add their own magical touches. The staff at La Royal, including the wonderful team at Celeste, felt like an extension of our own family. Their professionalism combined with their warm and friendly demeanor created an atmosphere that is truly one of a kind in the Cambridge/Boston area. The level of care and attention they provided exceeded all expectations. We cannot recommend La Royal enough for your private event. Whether it's a small celebration like ours or any special occasion, this is the place to book. Their dedication to creating a truly remarkable experience is unmatched. Don't hesitate—trust us, you won't be disappointed. Thank you to the entire La Royal/Celeste team for making our celebration extraordinary. We are forever grateful for the memories you helped us create.

Must try the Royal pisco sour cocktail, the passionfruit cocktail, and the lucuma dessert. Ceviche with blue cod and scallop was a great starter, very refreshing. It was slightly spicy but i think that was the bliss point I always order Lomo Saltado when i go to Peruvian restaurants, and here, i would give 5/5. I wanted to love the Chifa noodle with shrimp but it was too sweet for me, but overall, plenty of veggie and seafood!

Interesting food/drinks (tuna sashimi was a standout) with lots of flavors. Unfortunately the service left to be desired (& truthfully I never thought I’d be the type of person to notice)… After being seated & reviewing the menu for an extended period of time, our waiter came over and simply asked “Are you ready to order?” No hellos, no welcome, no explaining the menu. No one asked if I was interested in a second drink (even after finishing my first before our entrees were served). Truthfully quite surprising evening, I’m happy we checked it out but am not dying to go back

Good ambiance, went here for an early dinner and left satisfied. The pisco sour and the passionfruit pisco sour is a must try for cocktails! Tuna Tartare app is good, the skwered grilled shrimp was a little too burnt for me BUT the fried yucca that came with it is good. The Lucuma mousse is a must try. Tastes like a burnt caramel which is the flavor that the fruit gives. Overall a good experience.

I love Peruvian food and cuisine specially Lomo Soltado! Here food was nothing special compared to Celeste in Cambridge! Unexpected item on the bill was “already” included 20% tip for party of 4 plus kitchen gratitude! While their glassware were very smelly and we couldn’t touch our glass of water at all! Cocktails were very good! Maybe best part of our order! Their outdoor dining area was cozy and warm with nice and helpful people! Their Lucuma for dessert was again very basic and nothing special about it! Again I think their food and service do not match up with their price point! Trying to make a restaurant “fancy” with pricy items on the menu is different than providing “high quality” food and service that drive up the price on the menu!
