Hidden down a steep alleyway in Saint John, New Brunswick sits Port City Royal. Within the dimly lit basement of the old Patterson Building you’ll find worn, storied floor boards, exposed lathe, a leather Chesterfield and an old Persian rug. A velvet Elvis keeps guard over the dining room.

This is Port City Royal; lounge, kitchen, and soul. The food is plated in an understated way while the flavours push the limit of authenticity. The bar and lounge present cocktails that complement the classics but question the process.
