Grill Royal

Grill Royal is one of those restaurants where the entire evening becomes part of the experience. Hidden beneath Friedrichstraße and directly overlooking the Spree, it has the atmosphere of a place that has seen countless memorable Berlin nights: low lighting, contemporary art, tightly packed tables, a glamorous crowd and that unmistakable feeling that something is always happening around you. Calling it simply a steakhouse would be reductive. Meat is undoubtedly at the centre of the menu, with an impressive selection of premium cuts, but the seafood offering is equally important. Oysters, raw fish, lobster, whole fish and other seafood dishes bring freshness and balance to what could otherwise become a very heavy meal. The best way to approach Grill Royal is to share: start with something raw or saline, move into a great steak or fish from the grill, add classic sides, and let the dinner develop slowly over a good bottle of wine. What I particularly liked is the confidence of the cooking. There is no need for excessive complication or conceptual storytelling. When the ingredients are this good, the kitchen allows them to speak for themselves. A beautiful piece of beef, properly c

Meat was excellent as expected but terrible service: they allow you a table for 2 hours, take orders and dishes back very late, then bring you the bill and ask you to leave. We couldn't order and dessert or finish our wine. Inacceptable

Had been wanting to go to this place for a while and finally made the time. It was a bizarre experience, first of all, service is great, no complains there. Food was fine, I was expecting amazing or enebro great, but it was just fine, does not justify the price for me. The aubergine ‘meatballs’ were quite good, the t-bone was ok, the sides (potatoe gratin and Broccoli) were disappointing, and desert ok. What was most off putting was the atmosphere, it’s supposed to be classy place, but they have neon signs as deco.

The steaks here are truly almost the best in Berlin. At least my Top 2. 🥩 In terms of the cuts, you can't go wrong: the NY Strip, T-Bone, and American Porterhouse were all fantastic. 🍷 A special shoutout to the sommelier (the lady with the bob haircut)! Her recommendations are spot on and she has never let us down. What I appreciate most is that she suggests wines based on taste, not just expensive bottle on the list. 🥗 The Kopfsalat (Butterhead Lettuce) is a must-order every time. One portion is huge-plenty for two people to split, and honestly enough for three. 🍟If you’re a fan of carbs, their bread is solid, and the sweet potato fries are absolutely delicious. 🧆The Beef Tartare is superb! highly recommended! The portion is quite generous, so 2 people can easily share it as a starter. 🤑Price:100 -120€ per person (including drinks).

Family were in town and wanted to treat them to some good steak. I definitely found the steaks and overall menu very good as we ordered a bit of everything. We created our own surf and turf with a selection of steak and seafood mains. Can recommend the fennel and tatare as starters. The star of the show was the entrecôte. Service was pleasant and welcoming despite last minute reservations. Setting is one of the better environments in town with a view of the spree:river. Quite lively once the evening rush hits however our table structure are a bit odd and very rectangular booth style, not very comfortable. All in all recommend this spot for steaks
