What Grill Royal Gmbh does

Grill Royal GmbH is a privately held German restaurant group headquartered in Berlin that operates a portfolio of premium fine dining venues across Berlin and Hamburg. The company's core operation is Grill Royal, a steakhouse and seafood concept offered at flagship locations in Berlin (Friedrichstraße 105B) and Hamburg (Ballindamm 17), with a more intimate sister concept, Le Petit Royal (Berlin Charlottenburg). The portfolio is extended by Hotel Château Royal, a hotel property in central Berlin, and Freundshaft, an affiliated bar/restaurant venue. The menu is built around premium ingredients including Kobe Beef Association–certified Tajima beef, dry-aged John Stone (Ireland), Jack's Creek Wagyu (Australia), Greater Omaha Black Angus (USA), Friland free-range Danish beef, sustainably farmed German fish and shellfish, Helgoland lobster, and GASTROunika caviar packaged on-site to avoid additives; average check size is high, with Kobe Beef Filet at €165/100 g, Chateaubriand at €215/1,000 g, and caviar selections ranging from €145 to €780.

Grill Royal's commercial model is direct-to-consumer fine dining with reservation-only table service (open daily from 5pm), supplemented by corporate and private event bookings for groups of 10+ (50+ at Grill Royal, 25+ at Le Petit Royal) and gift voucher sales through an embedded gastronovi storefront on the website. Online table reservations are handled through the Aleno platform, web analytics through Google Analytics with IP anonymization, and social engagement via Instagram (@grill_royal) and Facebook/Instagram plugins. The company has deployed AI tooling (per its privacy notice) to assist customer-facing communications through automated text suggestions, content generation, and translation — explicitly not used for decisions with legal effect under GDPR Article 22. Compliance posture includes GDPR and Data Privacy Framework documentation (with a named data protection officer, IDEENKOMBINAT Thorsten Schuster) plus BITV 2.0 and BFSG accessibility conformance statements dated June 12, 2025.
