✨ A piece of Alexandria history is getting a fresh new chapter. ✨

Established in **1904**, royalrestaurantalx has long been a staple in Old Town Alexandria and now they’re back with a refreshed space, elevated menu, and plenty of reasons to make a reservation.

Located in North Old Town, Royal beautifully balances its historic roots with a modern dining experience that’s perfect for date night, brunch with friends, or a casual dinner out.

🍽️ What we’re ordering:
⭐ Shrimp Linguini
⭐ Shrimp & Grits
⭐ Baked Parmesan Scallops
⭐ Royal Smash Burger (trust us on this one!)
⭐ Double Chocolate Layer Cake for dessert

🥂 What we’re sipping:
🍇 Blackberry Smash (cocktail)
🌊 International Waters (mocktail)
🌸 Thornless Flower (mocktail)

The new menu delivers comfort, flavor, and a few surprises along the way. Whether you’re a longtime Alexandria local or just looking for your next foodie find, Royal deserves a spot on your list.

Have you been since the refresh? Let us know what you’re ordering! 👇🏾
