The crowd-pleasing pizzas are a big draw here, as are the customisable parmas (we like it spicy). And on weekends, the open-air courtyard is where it’s at, especially if there’s a DJ around.
Royal Saxon is a bar and bistro that delivers on both accounts. With architects at Six Degrees cleverly designing the double-storey venue as a structure within the existing Church Street facade, the Royal Saxon is comfortable in its own skin, offering a relaxing yet vibrant energy that entices both locals and passers-by through its doors. Aesthetically pleasing with its combination of old and new, the space is open and inviting to all kinds of pursuits; be it drinking, dining, catching some rays in the afternoon sun, or people watching.
The Royal Saxon also presents itself as a serious dining space, offering a large menu of Italian-style dishes, including refined pizzas, housemade pastas and mains such as pork cotoletta.
