Royal was a restaurant in The Hague, Netherlands. It was a fine dining restaurant that was awarded one Michelin star in 1958 and retained that rating until 1968.[1][2]

The building in which the restaurant was located was once the residence of Constantijn Huygens.[3][4] Restaurant Royal was housed at the address  [nl] 1 from August 1890 till 1918.[5][6] In 1918, the restaurant, at that time under the leadership of L.J.A. Kemper, relocated to the address Lange Voorhout 44.[7]

The restaurant got into serious difficulties in 1987. Attempts to save it by newspaper publisher A.G. Sijthoff and Brewery Heineken failed and the building was sold to real estate broker , who converted it to an office building. During the rebuilding and renovation, several special artefacts, like the glass dome, were conserved.[8][9]

The building is a Rijksmonument since 1973.[10]
