Take an old 1950s diner mixed with an urban city vibe and add some incredible food, and you have Royale Eatery, located at the end of Long Street just before Kloof Street. With over 50 types of burgers and over a dozen types of milk shakes, there is really something for everyone. The personal touches of this restaurant are apparent as you look through the well-designed menus and as you gaze at the always-changing art on the walls.
