The Royal Opotiki

So we did the Foodie run 30mins before kitchen closed at Crossroads Gastro Pub we didn't stay at Royal..excellent meal ..steak was puurrfect and the garlic sauce awesome atmosphere ..Our waitresses Pane and Sam were excellent ..loved the owners too

The food was incredible. More like what I would expect at some expensive Auckland restaurant, but this wasn't expensive. The service was friendly and relaxed and the atmosphere casual yet interesting. Our meals appeared very quickly, and apart from being outstanding texture and flavour, but satisfying portion sizes, attractive and hot. Great dining experience. Highly recommended.

We went to the Royal for dinner on new year's eve had the most amazing dinner everything was cooked just right, we had 3 courses and enjoyed all of it and luckily for us this night they had inhouse entertainment which was a real treat and 1st class. The staff were great we asked for a recommendation on which sauce would go best with the steak and the waitress could not have made a better choice we will be back again.

A spur of the moment decision that I'm glad I made. Despite an obviously busy night, the staff remained friendly. Very reasonably priced accommodation. Clean. The menu too was reasonably priced. Delish. Will definitely call again.

My wife and I stayed at The Royal Opotiki for several nights over the past two weeks. We stayed in a family unit and we found it just right for our needs. There is a great international atmosphere and the facilities were great. They have a great outdoor area to relax in and a fully equipped kitchen to help save money. Whilst here we also took the opportunity to eat in there restaurant which was exceptional. The food was bar far the best food we had in all of New Zealand. The prices were very reasonable and we never had a meal that we didn’t walk away from feeling full and satisfied with all the flavours. I highly recommend wether your local or not go in and try it. You will go back for more.
