Royal Retreat welcomes you to its unique Spanish eatery restaurant to spice up your food life with power lunches, entertainment, buffets and Sunday brunches. Royal Retreat is dreamy and elegant with spectacular downtown views, gorgeous setting, polished service, and is one of the city’s best restaurants. If you love fine dining as much as we do, then you've come to the right place.

Spanish cuisine is distinguished by the traditional use of olive oil as the vegetable- and lard as the animal fat in the preparation of dishes, as well as the inclusion of a wide variety of fruit and vegetables introduced by Moorish culture, plus other ingredients, such as the potato and tomato imported from the New World.

 

Then again, the considerable development in Spanish cooking in recent years has also been due to the emergence of a clutch of first-class chefs who have successfully managed to reinterpret traditional dishes and recipes in tune with present times, endowing Spanish cuisine with a new dimension in presentation and flavor.

Royal Retreat has some of the choicest menu options besides regular servings of menu. The specialties include octopus with potatoes and onion, or stewed in olive oil and paprika. Then, there is an array of sophisticated dishes that include fruit, nuts, and even chocolate, salads prepared with salted cod, fresh tomatoes, onion and olives dressed with vinaigrette.

 

Other specialties are: Habas fritas (fried braod beans), Judias verdes con jamon (green beans with ham), Samfaina (Catalan braised vegetable sauce), Zarzuela de maricos (shellfish in seafood sauce), Pato con higos (duck with figs) and Polvorones (almond shortbread) , Petite Romaine Salad, Braised Pork Pasta, Lobster Shepherd's Pie, Chicken "Pot Pie", Crispy Rock Shrimp Salad, Seared Ahi Tuna, Steak Frites, grilled angus filet with a root vegetable capriccio, steaks,, Pan Seared Scallops and many more...
