THE ROYAL ART BRUNCH
Oysters, wine and art therapy - that's how we raise your energy!





Honest Food
The Royal Oyster Bar truly reflects food as it is found in nature. Real — not disguised by a master chef.



Our goal is to preserve food to the maximum and share its essence with our patrons. Not to change or revamp or “improve”, but simply to showcase what nature has to offer.

This is our goal: That all things should be kept simple and to share simplicity with our patrons. To serve an unpretentious taste, and a truly caring and decadent atmosphere.
Optimal pairings
Simple things don’t need to be complicated. Food should be delicious, wine should match, and company should be merry and joyful.
