Absolutely exquisite experience here. My wife and I came here for date night as part of a chefs table event. Everything was from on menu with slight alterations and absolutely magnificent.I highly recommend coming here even if just dining for 1!

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 pointI 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!

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

I wanted to love this place, but I just didn't. It's a really nice space, not too crowded with a great industrial look. But the open kitchen makes it quite hot. The food generally was a disappointment. The tuna sashimi was excellent but other than that, it just wasn't as interesting or refined as what I'd expect for $75 a person with no drinks. The duck was mediocre. The pieces of duck were actually quite tasty, but the rest of the dish wasn't special. And it was covered in raw onions as was the fish, and the tamale. Raw onions? Why?

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

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.

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.

Hip and trendy place and the ceviche was great! But the burger and steamed cod were lackluster especially for the price.

So this was some kind of fusion with Peruvian food. Not the real Peruvian food you have when you go to Peru. It is all good but the ceviche and purple tamal taste weren’t as great they were OK. Specially the ceviche, the presentation was elaborate but the flavor was too complex, it missed the point. For someone who is not used to Peruvian food this might be a great experience but if you are used to Peruvian food, might not be your place. Also, why charge and extra 5% for kitchen gratuity? That should be included in the price already. The waitress and people were nice

FoodI could tell the food was well cooked, but I didn’t enjoy the taste that much.Everything elseThis was such a small restaurant and apparently if the regular dining tables are full, they will book you for the bar without letting you know beforehand.
