The Cafe Royal is one of Edinburgh’s classic Cafe/Pub/Restaurant which has maintained its stunning Victorian exterior and interior with a beautiful oval bar in other centre of the Café Pub area and stained glass windows in the Oyster Bar restaurant . We had a graduation dinner in the Oyster bar and all our food was excellent and something for everyone , especially those who are fond of shellfish .The steaks were cooked to perfection and the vegetable Thai green curry delicious . The service and atmosphere were also superb . The only problem was the temperature : it was a cold evening and most of us had to keep our coats on for the duration of the meal . However , this will not deter me from going again as the Café Royal is iconic and my family have celebrated many occasions here for generations .
