Read What Others Have Said:

The last three times I have traveled to Windsor, I wanted to see a live performance in this beautiful theatre that sits in the shadows of Windsor Castle. Luckily, during this year’s trip to Windsor I was able to get my hands on tickets to the Chicago Blues Brothers performance. I was very excited to finally be able to get to see a play at the Royal Windsor Theatre. I was generally very please with the seats we had, as well as the performance itself. We were lucky enough to get a great combination deal with the theatre and the hotel we stayed at. There was a package deal including dinner for two, and a private chauffer service to and from the hotel to the theatre. This was in conjunction with The Royal Adelaide Hotel also in Windsor. We got to the theatre about an hour before show time so we could relax and take in what Royal Theatre had to offer. We were warmly greeted by the staff and I was definitely impressed with their performance and courtesy. Both the stall bars and coffee bars offered a fine selection at fairly reasonable prices, too. The stall bars are also available after the performance too.

The play itself was impeccable! You could really tell the actors and actresses work extremely hard on the show, and it was noticeable. Like I said the seats really made the evening. If you are looking for a fine evening surrounded by the arts and theatre, the Theatre Royal comes highly recommended.

Reviews
I was in the mood for some Spanish food when visiting Windsor and La Tasca was a restaurant that was suggested to me by many people. The food was amazing! I ordered Pinchos de Pollos, which is chicken marinated in paprika and red pepper. It was absolutely delicious. This restaurant had great staff who were all really friendly and on time with my food. I loved the decorations in the building. It really gave me a feel that I was in Spain. Overall I give this restaurant 5 stars and recommend it to anyone.

La Tasca restaurant is really a great place to go if you are in the mood for Spanish food, and lots of entertainment. My wife and I went for a late dinner on a Tuesday night and there were several Flamenco dancers. Not only was our food delicious but we were both very entertained the whole time. It never seemed like it took a long time to receive our food because of the entertainment. They have a really nice dessert that is strawberry ice cream with fresh strawberries on the side. It is just a great place to eat.

This is a great restaurant. 2 thumbs up. Kid friendly and great food!
