Caffe Royale in Renfrewshire

Visited just by chance as we were in the neighbourhood. The staff were excellent, rarely do you get such personal, honest service these days. The food was lovely too and at a reasonable price, I would go back.

Had a lovely meal tonight staff great 👍 👌 😋

Went to this restaurant for the first time fantastic meal lovely atmosphere and very attentive staff be careful the portions are huge

Excellent food, amazing service. Soup to nuts, this was a highlight of our trip to Scotland.

Visited the Cafe Royale for breakfast today and I am glad that I did. Quality of food was very good and the staff were both efficient and charming. Had a glance at the lunch and dinner menus, which made good reading. Certainly intend to make a return visit.

A local restaurant with easy parking. The food is always freshly made with the best quality ingredients bought locally. The service is always good with friendly staff and the owners always make you feel welcome, there are always specials to go along with an extensive menu and very well priced. Oh and if you want the best ice cream around, this is the place to go.

Love this place! The food is delicious, never had a bad meal. Wishing you all the best of luck in the upcoming Scottish Italian awards. That says it’s all really.

Came in for a lovely Friday night dinner. We both had 3 courses, it was hard to refuse possibly the happiest waitress in Paisley. Food was so fresh, great wine and a brilliant atmosphere. To be recommended.

First visit and we were not disappointed. Had lovely breakfast with smoked salmon and poached eggs and the coffee was delicious. Highly recommend

A group of us (cousins) have been here in June and August for lunch at 1pm on Sunday and have NEVER been given the breakfast menu, but this is what we were given today. When we queried this we were told that our bookings previously must have been for 2pm but this definitely was not the case. This could easily be checked if a record of bookings is kept by the restaurant, but the texts between us cousins definitely have the booking for 1pm - if we had been an hour early on 23/06 and 28/07, I think we would have been told this when we arrived!!! We wouldn't have booked for lunch at 1pm for the third time if it wasn't available till 2pm. We asked if we could have the other menu as we had had it on the past two visits but were told that this wasn't possible, and that we must be mistaken about the past bookings - it was suggested that we could wait till 2pm, but that was not something we were prepared to do, so we ordered some drinks - all without ice, but three came with ice - and ordered food from the breakfast menu and waited.....and waited.....and waited.......we were finally served at 2pm! We were disappointed that there was no apology for the wait. One of us had ordered the Strascinati Pasta con Pollo e Pesto Rosso which should have contained chilli, but was so bland and lacking in chilli that we gave the the baby a taste of it and she didn't bat an eyelid! I had the veggie breakfast which came without the hash brown listed on the menu, and the portion of spinach - roughly a large teaspoonful - was the size I'd expect as a garnish not as an integral part of the meal. (I'm one of those awkward vegetarians who expect the veggie component of a veggie meal to comprise the main part of it.) I was told that I should have asked for more, and was brought some extra; it would have been difficult to have ordered extra before I saw the size of the portion as my psychic powers are a bit lacking. Ok, we weren't charged for the Strascinati, but the lack of flavour was the real disappointment. The overall attitude that we shouldn't have been expecting the dinner menu, and that we were all wrong to say that we'd had it before was totally unacceptable. We won't be back.

We have had so many meals here, realised that I haven't posted a review because they are always so good, time to correct that :-) The Chef has amazing talent and always surprises and delights with the specials board and the new main menu includes items that were previously on the specials board, whats not to love Staff are all very attentive and highly talented The management travel to Italy regularly and bring back authentic Italian produce. We have eaten all over the world and would highly recommend Caffe Royale Never had a bad meal or service This time I had the beef cheeks which melted like butter on my tongue I know you can't always rely on a review as there are so many keyboard warriors on the Net, not to mention AI generated nonsense This review comes from a Paisley born and bred couple of real human beings Hopefully this review gives you the confidence to book I promise you wont regret it :-) PS The Focaccia with rosemary is delicious

Regular visitor to Caffe Royale food and staff excellent was in today and the food did not disappoint. New menu is great along with the specials always plenty of choice. Definitely recommend booking in advance. 10/10

Visited Caffe Royale for first time and had a fabulous lunch here with the family. Nothing was too much trouble for the restaurant team who were brilliant. Food was excellent with lots of choice for everyone. We will definitely be back!

Love this place. Just been for brunch and the waffles were great!

While in Scotland for the Open Championship, we had sampled much of the traditional fare and wanted a change. We ended up in Italy at the Caffe Royale. The food was amazing and after reading the chef/owner bio, his training and love of Italian cuisine shown through. The ingredients were fresh and perfectly cooked and seasoned. The service was fantastic. Alexander and the rest of the staff helped make the experience so wonderful, we went back the following evening to sample more of the menu. The portions are generous and the desserts are quite good and varied. Thank you for taking us back to our visit to Italy a few years ago. Highly, highly recommend this gem.

Friendly and popular spot. Had eggs Benedict but dry as it had continued to cook in the skillet served in. Expected more flavour. Friend enjoyed his fried breakfast.

First visit and not the last. Fantastic food & staff were lovely and on the ball

Birthday dinner. Although the food & service was excellent, being the only customer with their back to the entire restaurant was not agreeable. It may be a cosy booth for some & I enjoyed looking at my partner but not a bus shelter & bill board either side of him. Sorry but will not be returning anytime soon as the owner didn’t see a problem.

Went for ice cream, lovely as always.

Always amazing favourite place to dine

Absolute joke wanted to go in for a coffee as it's a CAFE!!! The prentious Aholes said you need to book what a joke it's Paisley and a cafe not a Michelin star restaurant in London Get your heads out your behind and realise this as I have spoken to several people who agree It is wrong and you are alienating people as you don't know what they would come back and order what an attitude 😡😡😡

First time visit. Really enjoyed our brunch . Great value and good portion sizes. Full scottish breakfast, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. French toast,bacon and maple syrup

Delicious menu. Consistently high quality with something for everyone. Good selection of wines, gins and 🍸cocktails.

Really nice relaxed place service was impeccable...wife coeliac asked about options most if not everything can be adapted...will be back

Had such a lovely afternoon in Caffe Royale . The food , the wine ,the ambience, the lovely young waitress, everything was perfect. Thank you !

Just back from having dinner at cafe royale for my son's high school graduation. Party of 5 and everything was five star from booking to leaving. The service we received was brilliant and all the staff took the time to talk to us and congratulate my son on him finishing high school. The food wow amazing. Will be recomending to friends and family and will be back. Thank you again for a lovely meal and great service

The staff are so accommodating I ordered an item not on the menu namely an omelette with cheese and onion Which came as ordered in a cast iron skillet cooked to perfection Nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff

A brilliant place to go, would highly recommend the food and drink.

Great service and amazing cake 🎂

Tasty macaroni cheese & lovely staff

Very friendly, welcoming service. Lovely food, relaxing surroundings.

Very disappointed with our visit today ...we came over from the westend especially for lunch ...we arrived at 1.50 and asked if we could have a table ...we were shown to a seat and then we were told that lunch finished at 2 o'clock and as they were short staffed they could only offer tea and coffee....we asked if they could at least do soup as my daughter was quite hungry and they said yes ...we ordered the soup and 2 coffee's...we then asked the waiter if I could have some toast but were refused ....we were somewhat confused as my daughters soup came with bread but it was a step to far to ask for toast ...we were in and out in 30mins ....as we were leaving the couple at the next table were just being served their main course but it was too much trouble to serve us some toast ....very poor experience...we had visited many times before ...hence the trip over from the westend but sadly won't be back .

Food was fantastic but a bit on the expensive side.

Mixture of diners and coffee drinkers. Pleasant atmosphere and convivial staff.

Fantastic. Quality. Service excellent. We had never heard of this place before. First time at Glasgow airport and needed meal out. Don’t go anywhere else! We have high expectations. We booked and they exceeded expectations and fever us better expectations. We wanted for nothing. Big thanks fora great meal . Oh and the food food was delicious too.!

Absolutely fabulous meal. Food was amazing and staff were lovely. Would highly recommend! Will definitely be back! Wee hidden gem

Thank you so much Caffee Royale staff compliments to your chefs for your outstanding service as always tasty food and made my Birthday 'Extra Special' best Italian food in Paisley 😋

Out for a lunch today Lovely relaxed atmosphere, no specials available but the menu is extensive and great. Well looked after, brilliant again. Evening meal this time, fabulous menu and great specials. Warm friendly atmosphere. Busy evening good times. January 2024 out with my wife for her birthday celebration, we had a lovely meal. we were well looked after by the attentive staff, food was amazing. They are the current best Scottish Trattoria restaurant and it shows.

Service extremely slow with drinks and meals. My uncle took us out for dinner as we were on vacation and he was extremely disappointed 😞

Food is outstanding. Pizza Roma was amazing and all well priced.

The best breakfast for a very long time.

It was cold every time the door opened. If you can get a booth - take it. We were at the first table in the restaurant. We really enjoyed the food, they did great with my allergies restrictions! Service was excellent.

Outstanding! Always our first choice when out for a meal, service food and staff are exceptional.

Had lovely Christmas lunch there and the food was really nice. Great staff and nice ambiance.

Great tasty food with helpful staff

First visit and really enjoyed it, food and service we're excellent 👌

Caffe Royale is an underrated gem of a restaurant located just outside of Glasgow in Paisley, Scotland. I recently visited with a small group and enjoyed an incredible Italian meal that highlights why Caffe Royale has been shortlisted for the Scottish Italian Awards for Best Trattoria and Best Chef (Colin Guthrie). The atmosphere at Caffe Royale is warm, inviting and intimate - perfect for a special night out. We were greeted by friendly staff who were attentive without being overbearing throughout our meal. Claire was an absolute delight and she and the rest of the staff seen to all that was asked, and more. We began with Caffe Royale's freshly baked rosemary focaccia. It was delightfully chewy and flavorful, the perfect accompaniment for the meals to come. We had seafood pasta, overflowing with prawns, mussels and calamari in a light tomato sauce. The seafood was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. I had the carbonara, which was rich and flavourful but with a thoughtful twist - no heavy cream, which allowed the pancetta and egg to shine. Amazing. The rabbit stew featured fork-tender meat in an herbaceous broth with root vegetables. The Scallops and Ayrshire pork belly was the stand out for me. Melt-in-your-mouth delicious and balanced by the mildly spicy butternut squash curry velouté. The beer and wine selection was great, I even opted for an amazing espresso martini. At the end of the night we finished with some whisky (Balvenie), which is always a treat. Everything we tried at Caffe Royale was thoughtfully prepared and expertly executed. Chef Colin has a strong command of Italian flavors and ingredients that shine through in each dish. The cozy atmosphere paired with delicious food makes Caffe Royale a must-visit for outstanding Italian cuisine in Scotland. I can't wait to return and try more on the menu and highly recommend you do too.

Great location, always a nice welcome from staff.

Highly recommend, we had a delicious meal my husband had the fish stew which he really enjoyed full of fish and prawns I had my favourite sphagetti carbonara, all was fresh and homemade. Staff were lovely and attentive and were helpful with recommendations. Will definitely be back

Brought three friends for lunch today - one was having a birthday. The food we had was lovely. We were absolutely spoilt for choice with each of us seeing items we would like to try “ next time “. However, the occasion was made perfect by the lovely friendly service from a very smiley cheerful young waitress and her colleagues. This included serving our birthday cake for us 💜💜💜- can’t thank you enough- we’ll be back for sure !!

We called in with the Portree Gaelic choir (my husband is a member) for lunch, whilst taking part in the Royal National MOD. What an amazing cafe, wish I lived nearer. The staff were so helpful, the food was delicious, we had a selection of sandwiches and soup. A lot of us sampled the delicious cakes too. I would love to revisit sometime to try the rest of the menu. The choir even did a practice whilst there.

Fantastic selection of classic Italian cuisine

Fantastic food, great staff, atmosphere, with a very attentive owner. Bravo!

Brilliant meal and excellent service.

Fabulous food, Great Atmosphere and made to feel very welcome. Staff were very attentive and knowledgeable about the food. We will come back again when are through from Dundee. Truly recommend this place.

We love this place for our Sunday brunch! The food is always delicious, staff always friendly and polite, a great selection of drinks and sweet treats, too.

Lovely place in paisley, food great, staff friendly! Definitely be back.

This was a flying visit. A decent flat white, though a tad pricey. Nice staff.

Great staff and food was good 👍

Attentive staff and very good cakes.

Lovely food. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Best coffee.

Excellent service. Will be back

Can't praise enough. Delightful.

The food was cooked fresh and delicious, the staff are attentive and friendly. Plenty to choose from on the menu. Nice surroundings and atmosphere too.

Nice Italian restaurant. Lovely staff. Food was great Nice surroundings. All in all very enjoyable visit. Sorry no pictures.

You won’t get any tastier or fresher food in paisley, the staff the food everything is first class. Fully recommend.

I was in a couple of weeks ago , with my friend and guide dog Wee Skye There was only outside seating available which was fine as seemed quite warm inside but got a table with shade for Wee Skye. Very happy to have been asked if Skye would like a bowl of water which we accepted for her. I had the mac n cheese which was really nice. Was lovely and creamy and quite rich. Garlic bread was nice too. A little side salad would have been nice too to help break up the rich creaminess of the mac cheese. It was a lovely smooth cheese and not too strong which I liked too My friend had the French toast with Nutella , she said it was nice but would have liked extra Nutella with it. Overall was very good, I need to try the carbonara ( without cream ) next 😊

Only went in for coffee. Coffee was nice although a bit crowded and noisy even though it was after lunchtime.

Brilliant food and great staff! Always welcoming to my guide dog and myself.

I had a desert and coffee. The coffee is really good - as a coffee lover, I know what I'm saying. The desert was also good. I like the fact that during sunny days I can use the outside table.

My partner and I love this restaurant. We eat there very regularly and it is somewhere we are always made to feel welcome and it has a lovely atmosphere. The food is excellent quality and they really take great pride in preparing dishes to a high standard every time. It’s a great place for various occasions, a special celebration, a meal with the family or just a coffee and a cake. We always receive great service each time we visit. The staff are all extremely friendly and polite and nothing is too much bother. There are also outside tables which is handy.I definitely recommend visiting. Heather

Very rude and unprofessional. Full stop. Be nice to people.

Excellent.....Excellent.....Excellent

Very impressive. Had an excellent evening here with friends last week and was pleasantly surprised at how professional this place was. The menu was extensive, service was attentive but unobtrusive, and the setting welcoming. I, and my party, were really impressed and have already arranged a return visit. 5 out of 5.

First time turned up with the family and got turned away because there was a function on . Tonight tried to phone in a order and got told not taking orders as another function on .

Brilliant food. Exceptional Staff. Great wines. Very good value for money. Always a fantastic experience in this place. Authentic Italian food in great surroundings.

First time in this converted bank and very impressed with decor. Staff is pleasant and efficient, food looked at freshly made and delicious . We had cake and tea which we enjoyed very much. Will go again but will book next time as it is very busy.

Went today to make birthday reservation couldn't have been more helpful Claire was very helpful all booked

Took the chance of requesting a table with no booking on a Saturday evening...accommodated at the high window seat by the window. Food..lovely, service..amazing. Happy customer

Food amazing, great value and the young service staff here are absolutely brilliant! Always smiling and happy to help and a true credit to the restaurant!

Enjoyed a fantastic breakfast last Saturday, have booked again for this week, food presentation was lovely and staff were great

Thank you for a lovely lunch today. Highly recommend. Food was delicious and priced reasonable. We got a table luckily but next time will book online to reserve. Staff were top notch! Looking forward to going back! Thank you!

Beautiful place excellent value

Absolutely loved this restaurant! Food & service was excellent.

Been a few times, Risotto was excellent, but would highly recommend the specials that change each week, especially for the starter Stornoway Black Pudding and Scallops and any fish dish for a main course with my own fav Rabbit wrapped in Prosciutto.

Had lunch with a friend and good old catch up The staff were pleasant and attentive

Excellent restaurant/cafe very enjoyable meal, well presented, and attentive service.

Was there today at 2pm with my family and it was our first time and loved the food and service was great! Would definitely recommend 👌 thankyou ❤️

Lovely food, great service and reasonably priced. Great, freshly made meals for the kids and our ox cheek (which was on the specials list) was amazing.

Nice atmosphere. Nice friendly staff, though think my friend insulted the owner. Oops

Had lovely breakfast with my 2 grandchildren.Staff were lovely and polite,food was great.felt welcome,will be eating there more often.

Lovely lunch with excellent service

Arrived around 1pm for lunch and there were no tables showing the popularity. We were able to sit at the bar table. Told that it was busy and it might be a wait for food but they would be as quick as they could. Can have no issues with up front communication. Service friendly, helpful and attentive. Food was all great. Went for the halloumi sandwich and everything about it was good. Filling with the hand cut chips. Will be back to try some of the other dishes. I am not huge into desserts but they did look great too.

Easily the best breakfast I've had in years. Top notch service by friendly professionals. Cannot recommend enough.

Championing the small businesses @caffe_royale_paisley is a fantastic example of a great small business, delivering high quality ingredients for fresh tasty meal. We used to come here years ago for brunch as I lived in Paisley but kept meaning to come back for dinner as I always sat looking at the specials board those many times we visit salivating at the thought of the dishes. I was meant to meet a friend, who cancelled but I still wanted to come so the hubby obviously got brought a long. I love the decor and feel in here as an old converted bank to a charming cosy restaurant it just has the right vibes. The food was incredible 😋 For starters we had the special of calabrese crispy chicken thigh - calabrian njuda and pepperoni sauce. Uovo cotte con prosciutto- poached egg with roasted peppers, peas, chilli, napoli and garlic bread Both dishes seasoned well and very tasty. For mains we couldn't decide so we picked two dishes that we both really wanted and then we split, so we had The special of octopus, pork belly, cauliflower and a hazelnut puree. The pork belly cooked to perfection, juicy with a nice crisp bit of skin, octopus had a lovely char to it 😋 And Gnocchi con salsiccia- potatoes dumpling with Italian sausage, peas, caramelised red onion, chilli napoli and mozzarella. When I tell you this is one of the best gnocchi dishes I have ever tasted, I wish I had that whole dish to myself but in saying that the special we just as delicious. We had no room for dessert but took home some tiramisu and cannoli. This is an absolute gem in paisley, one thing Paisley does do well is small independents but this place is well under the radar, its food is spectacular and cooked fresh to order. Staff are so welcoming, accommodating and attentive. Was lovely to speak to the staff and have a wee chit chat even though the restaurant was busy. This place has it spot on

Lovely meal great staff already booked again

Absolutely love this café. Amazing food and amazing staff. Lunch today was fantastic. Perfect lasagne, pizza and spaghetti bolognese. Best hot chocolate this side of the river. Will definitely be back really soon.

Great Italian, eggs Royale is a winner for brunch!

Very enjoyable meal in a nice setting with nice staff....

Now I had heard this place was good but man it was Delightful. I stopped by with my mum & gran for a weekly Cafe trip. The place looks gorgeous. Very upmarket. I was expecting a much larger bill. The staff were lovely. The girl who made my Hot chocolate with cream & Marshmallows thank you for the lovely service. Well definitely be back! 💯👉🔥
