3 Star Review by Inspired4me2You
This is a good local pub and worth a visit. Plenty happening here with good sports coverage with multiple TV screens. A few different places to sit depending on what you want to watch. There are also a number of tables looking onto the street providing an opportunity to have a quieter spot for a good catch up with mates. We had the pie, mushy pies and mash which was tasty. They also have specials offers on every day at $15 per meal. Bathroom clean. Love from Local Guide

A lovely venue with vibrant settings but with that traditional pub style. Botanical as it suggests, a garden leisurely atmosphere. Good food and good services. So relaxing and family orientated. A gem of a place to try.

First time visiting The Royal Leichhardt this afternoon before a football match at the nearby oval. Atmosphere was relaxed. Service was friendly. Prices were reasonable ($24 for a chicken schnitzel) food came out within 15 minutes of ordering and was fresh and tasty.

First time I've been here. So many nice places upstairs. We sat in the botanical garden room which is very pretty. Also the balcony was nice. Great atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff. The lamb shoulder was the nicest I've ever tasted ! Great portion sizes too. The squid and pork belly bites were amazing as entrees. There was nothing left on our plates Highly recommend!
