Brighton Burger Joint Royale Brothers Has Changed Things Up, Now Operating as a Nostalgia-Fuelled Aussie Diner
All its classic burgers remain, but now you'll also find waffles, avo on toast, spaghetti bolognese and a heap of different schnitties.
For ten years, Royale Brothers has been known as the spot to go for burgers in Brighton.
This hole-in-the-wall burger joint was started by the owners of The Pantry — more or less a local institution — who know a thing or two about running a cafe. And so, following such success, have decided to transform Royale Brothers into Royale, a contemporary cafe inspired by old-school Australian diners (not to be mistaken with American diners).
Thankfully, most of its burgers remain on the menu. But the team is now also slinging breakfast dishes and classic Aussie diner fare.
Kick things off with waffles or pancakes with a bunch of toppings; a brekkie bun, brekkie burger and brekkie sandwich; avocado on toast; and a big breakfast platter with bacon, hash browns and guacamole.
For lunch, you've then got spaghetti bolognese, a range of different chicken schnitzels with chips, caesar salad, seafood basket and nachos. It's a really playful menu full of crowd-pleasing dishes.
Thickshakes, coffee, juice and sodas round out the offerings here, all served up within newly designed digs. And we do hope booze will eventually make it to the menu, as it would make a stellar boozy brunch spot.
You'll find the newly revamped Royale at 1 Church Street, Brighton, open 10am–8.30pm from Sunday–Thursday, and 10am–9pm on Friday and Saturday. For more details, you can check out the venue's website.
