The 43 best breakfast and brunch in Cardiff

The venue is beautifully decorated with a stunning atmosphere — definitely a lovely place to sit and relax. The food was alright, nothing exceptional but enjoyable enough. Service, however, was very slow. It felt like there was only one server handling the entire place, which made the experience a bit frustrating. Staff were doing their best, but the venue really needs more hands on deck during busy periods.

Food was absolutely delicious and the service was exceptional, Solomon our waiter went above and beyond to make my birthday meal special. We visited as a family of 5 on the 26th of July, we all had a variety of different meals which were brought out quickly and efficiently, he was very attentive and he couldn't of been more welcoming, he even gave me a birthday desert with my very own candle. His service was excellent and he really made every effort to make the day memorable. Thank you Solomon and the staff at the ivy for making my day so wonderful. Would highly recommend.

Special & “an Experience” - there is no other way to describe it except to say good value too. The decor is amazing and the service formal but in a wonderful way. It’s not somewhere to dash in and dash out. Rather it’s somewhere to relax and soak up the experience. Arguably, other places can sell better perhaps but none will rival will rival the range of menu options or the experience. The central bar island is a work of art and the venue loaded with wonderfully tended plants and interesting art. Where else can you have Champagne for breakfast?

Not just dining but a true dining experience. From the way you're greeted to the service at the table, from the main room decor to the very plush toilets, everything is an experience. The Ivy Cardiff is probably one of the slightly more expensive places to eat in the city, but, for a special occasion, it is honestly worth trying. Eating there on a Saturday, it was the main menu only, and to be fair, the drinks are what will probably push your bill up. They do have a very nice looking 2-course set menu for certain days which could be a winner in terms of value, if you're being a bit more cost conscious, I'll happily return to test that out. Fantastic food, table water without even asking (something I always ask for), service was brilliant, and you weren't rushed at all, which added to the experience. We booked in advance, so didn't wait for a table. There may be a wait if you just turn up. Oh, and if it's your birthday (as it was for me!) make sure to mention it as they might give you a little treat (see pictures).

Great brunch menu with lots of substantive lunch items but with some breakfast items. Eggs royale with smoked salmon particularly delicious. Great service and set up - as to be expected. Treat yourself. Careful - toilets are up a decent flight of steps…

As a solo diner I thought I might feel a bit weird, but the staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. Beautiful decor as you would expect. Will definitely return.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Full Version From the moment we walked into The Ivy Cardiff, we were treated wonderfully. We were greeted warmly at the front desk and shown to the bar, where the staff were cheerful, polite, and genuinely welcoming. The drinks were absolutely sensational — perfectly crafted and beautifully presented. Our server, a lovely young lady named Mikyla (apologies if that’s not the correct spelling!), was exceptional. She was friendly, relatable, and extremely knowledgeable, offering fantastic recommendations for which drinks paired best with our dishes. The food was simply exquisite. We started with the zucchini fritti — light, crispy, and perfectly seasoned — alongside the salty sourdough, which complemented it beautifully. For mains, we enjoyed perfectly cooked steak with creamy mash and crisp chips. Dessert was the birthday box, which was as delicious as it was fun. On our second visit, we returned for a light brunch — we couldn’t resist ordering the zucchini and sourdough again, and added the maple pancakes on the side. Everything was just as amazing as before. Every single staff member we met was friendly and professional. Special mention to Jamie, who took the time to chat with us and even opened the door as we left — a truly lovely touch. Thank you to everyone at The Ivy Cardiff for making both visits so memorable. We’ll definitely be back soon!

What a pleasant surprise! I came with 3 colleagues around 8:40pm on a Thursday night for dinner and we were blown away by Bills. Their menu is a lot more extensive than we all thought and the vibe and decor were just so cute! We were seated right away near the bar area and decided to order family style. Here’s a list of everything: Ribbed corn (10/10) Classic sharer (9.5/10), dumplings were okay, sauce made it better Duck curry (7.5/10), good but our least favorite Sweet potato fries (8/10) Garlic greens (8.5/10) Wings on their specials menu (11/10), their ranch is out of this worlddd, not sure what they put in it but we dipped everything in it and asked for more. We stayed past closing and they didn’t rush us out at all. There were other customers still enjoying their meals and we were so pleasantly surprised. This is a must go for future visits. In total the bill was under 100£

Great service at Bill’s from the moment we arrived. After a disappointing service at a different restaurant this was a breath of fresh air. It was quite busy, but we managed to get a table within minutes. Great thanks to Lara for the amazing service today, she was so attentive. Really enjoyed my brunch here.

Had an Amazing time at Bills, the food and service were Great. Was visiting my son at university, and he was raving about the place. So went for breakfast before I left. After being greeted by a rude front of house person. We were relieved to have been served and looked after by Antonia, who was Brilliant! She made us feel very welcome and made the experience of visiting Bills exceptional. Full of fun and great banter. ✨🌟 ❤️

I absolutely love Bill’s… and this visit did not disappoint. The man who greeted us was so friendly and welcoming, as were the rest of the staff. And the food was BRILLIANT! So delicious. And the kids ate free. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Went to Bill's for brunch with the girls (4 adults, 2 children.) Due to traffic, many were running late and the servers were very understanding and accommodating. Once everyone arrived, we promptly ordered drinks and food. When food arrived, the server unfortunately tripped and dropped all the adult meals. Thankfully the children's meals were already on the table and the rest of us were happy to wait. The server was absolutely lovely, quickly cleaned up and was very apologetic. It was a complete accident and we didnt mind waiting. The food was worth the wait! It was hot, fresh and absolutely delicous. Considering how busy it was, we didnt have to wait and excessive amount of time (the server even took the main meals off the total bill which was extremely kind of her) All in all, we had a lovely girls brunch and would definitely go back again

Had a good experience the service was great and Lara and the rest of the team was very nice and accommodating to my gluten allergy and dietary requirements. Compliments to the chef who did my grilled chicken burger it was cooked perfectly and not dry at all and had good flavour. Good seats and vibes so glad u guys have a gluten free menu haven’t been many places that have this will be back again highly recommend to anyone with dietary restrictions xx

Food was lovely. I had the breaded chicken breast with fries, coleslaw, and egg. My mum had a full english breakfast. Didn't like the capers on top though I think it kinda ruined the meal but It's my own fault for forgetting to ask to remove them. Full english breakfast was lovely. They take blue light card which is great if you want a decent discount. It took a very long time for staff to take our order and bring the bill, it was busy though. I'd recommend if its not busy and if you have a blue light card as the price would be worth it for the discount. Suitable for people with food allergies and had no issues with that.

The Botanist Cardiff is an absolutely stunning venue with a fantastic atmosphere that really sets it apart. The interior is beautifully designed and there is a gorgeous feature that truly makes the experience feel unique, a stage surrounded by a lake, complete with live music, which adds an elegant and lively touch to the evening. It is the kind of place where you want to sit back, relax, and soak in the ambiance. We came here for drinks and food and were really impressed with both. The cocktails were well made and beautifully presented, with attention to detail in every glass. I tried a couple and each one was smooth, flavorful, and nicely balanced. That said, they were on the expensive side, at just over ten pounds each. This is fairly standard for a premium city centre bar, but it would have been nice if the prices were just a little more accessible so more people could discover this place. For food, we ordered the hanging kebabs and they were absolutely amazing. Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. We also went for the sharing option, which came in at around forty two pounds, but it was more than enough for two people and definitely worth it in terms of taste and portion size. The presentation was eye catching and it arrived at the table looking every bit as good as it tasted. Service was friendly and attentive and everything came out in good time despite the place being busy and rather late. Overall, this is a fantastic spot for a treat or a special evening out. It is not the cheapest option in Cardiff, but the quality of the drinks, the food, and especially the setting all help justify the price. I would happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for a vibrant and stylish night out, just be ready to spend a little more than average. Excellent beer and wine selection also!

Very creative drinks and cocktails, and a very nice selection of non-alcoholic options too. The venue is absolutely delightful incredibly beautiful. The food was very nice as well. All of the small plates ordered were tasty and the large kebabs and the botanist bowl were all very much enjoyed. The biggest issue really was the service, the weight staff seemed unenthusiastic and not particularly friendly. Our table felt a little intimidated by our waiter who had slightly rudely laughed at us when we were taking a little while to order he would clean empty tables before taking away our plates we just felt slighted in a way, he seemed rude. The kitchen also made a few clumsy errors, there was no pomegranate in a pomegranate couscous salad and falafel was not initially present in the botanist bowl despite being a crucial part of the meal. This was fixed in the end. We also felt it wasn’t justifiable as they were very quiet that it took so long for our order to be taken. On a different night, this could a very easily be a five star review. We just felt slightly put out by the front of house staff, the service was really not there.

Everything about The Botanist is lovely. The staff, food, atmosphere, and a big emphasis on the drinks. Monday through Friday from 4 to 7pm you can enjoy happy hour, I certainly did. With a nice price and a 2 for 1 deal, you certainly get all the drinks you need. I was there celebrating a family members birthday and they went above and beyond, including a decorative dessert board. The hanging kebab you’ll find no where else, it definitely doesn’t disappoint. This is a perfect place to have some nice photos at your table or the bar with its greenery and low lighting. Be mindful of all the steps (there is an elevator). The staff are also very understanding about arriving a few minutes late to your reservation time. Definitely make a reservation if possible. Earlier in the evening you should necessarily need one, but better safe than sorry to miss out.

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting our family from Asia at The Botanist, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I had requested a simple note saying “Welcome to Cardiff,” but what we received was so much more—a beautifully decorated wooden plate with the message thoughtfully written on it, accompanied by a delicious brownie! It was such a heartfelt surprise, and our guests were genuinely touched. The staff were incredibly attentive, professional, and clearly passionate about creating a memorable experience. Every detail, from the ambiance to the service, was spot-on. We’re so grateful for the warm hospitality and can’t wait to return to The Botanist to host more of our loved ones in the future. Thank you for making our day so special!

Came to the lovely botanists tonight for my best friends birthday, it was absolutely amazing! All of the food was so delicious, and the ambiance was lovely. The live music was so much fun, it felt like a party, and the lead singers voice was incredible! Ethan took care of us all night and made sure everything was perfect! Would 100% recommend!!

A delightful venue with attentive staff and excellent food. We enjoyed drinks on the roof garden and then a fantastic dinner.

Tasty, quality and full value, as always. Beer battered onion rings to die for. You get around 7 large ones though, so suitable to share

Worst bottomless brunch I’ve had. The brunch its self was in a quiet room upstairs away from the atmosphere of the bar. We started are brunch at 8pm and there was one other group there at the time it just had no vibe there. The drinks were very slow and after waiting awhile for another order my friends went to the bar its self and tried placing an order but were told the server would be over in a minute and to wait and that took an extra 5 minutes. After that the service was a bit better with drinks at least. I kept asking where the food was and it didn’t turn up till 9:30pm when we started at 8pm. The food was pre ordered as well which made it more confusing why it took so long. The food was all cold apart from one of my friends where it was slightly warm. My friend did complain about the food and we had a discount off the price which was good and a tray of free shots. We were told the other table had also complained of the food being cold and at the start of the night a group of girls who saw us coming in said it was awful and there food was cold as well. I’d be more underwing if they were busier but it was quiet and the fact it was pre ordered made me more annoyed. I definitely will not be coming back again for the brunch but the bar downstairs did have a good vibe, I’d recommend going here after a brunch somewhere else.

Went in for a quick brunch before exploring the city. Good and quick service, polite staff and yummy food. The chips that came with the burger were probably one of the best ones I've had in a long while. Crunchy fresh and seasoned to perfection. Loved the seating options too. Overall great experience! Definitely recommend this place.

Had a fantastic experience in The Philharmonic for my best friend’s hen do, there were 16 of us so we were a big group. Plus it was Saturday on a rugby day so it was super busy. We booked for bottomless brunch and the experience was great we all had back to back drinks about 7 per person and the food was out at once and all hot/tasty. We were all super happy, big thank you to the young girl serving us, we were a rowdy group but she was attentive and kept the drinks flowing!

The experience was genuinely awful. First, I was charged a £120 deposit after increasing my booking from 10 to 12 people (double the original £50 deposit with no explanation, despite asking three times). On arrival, we were given three separate tables scattered around the room — despite booking for one group. When I raised this with a staff member, she was rude, dismissive, wouldn’t make eye contact, and rolled her eyes at colleagues. We asked to move to a round table that could actually seat us together — only to find it covered in vomit. We reported it, expecting a proper response, but got another eye roll and the bare minimum of cleaning. More vomit was later found behind cushions and on the floor. Staff called us “high maintenance” for asking for basic hygiene — WE CLEANED UP SOMEONE ELSES VOMIT ON OUR TABLE. The same staff member later accused us of only submitting 4 food orders (we booked for 12), dropped her pen on one of my guests, didn’t apologise, and continued ignoring questions while writing on her clipboard. When I asked who to speak to about all this, she shrugged and said, “The head office is in London – not my problem.” We had ONE drink in the first hour of a bottomless brunch, the food arrived cold, and the staff were consistently rude. Totally unacceptable service, poor hygiene, and a complete lack of professionalism. Would not return and don’t recommend.

Lovely welcome from the bar person as we arrived. Just popped in out of the rain and was immediately informed of the two for one offer on. Great choice of cocktails and usual bar drinks menu. Huge pub so on a wk end I can imagine it would be quite a place to add to the crawl round town and a great spot for big groups.

Went for a bottomless brunch and was served by Sophie. Drinks came out fast and were lovely with a brilliant selection for everyone’s taste. The pizza was great! Would highly recommend and good value for money!!! Sophie was absolutely amazing and made our night extra special with great service and recommendations! Thank you ✨

We had bottomless brunch and had a wonderful time. Abbie was a fabulous server. Great service, yummy food and so many rounds of drinks. We love Abbie, hope you get a raise for being amazing xx

The only vegan food they had was some carrot cake (and I grabbed the last slice…!) I wish they’d offer more vegan options. The space itself is very nice and cozy, good music but not too loud.

I recently visited this café which not only served a variety of breakfast and brunch options but also offered what I can confidently say was the best coffee I had during my time in Cardiff. I opted for a black Americano, but it was clear they took their coffee seriously, with an evident dedication to quality that shone through in every sip. The beans were expertly brewed, resulting in a rich, well-balanced flavour profile that highlighted the nuances of the coffee without being overshadowed by bitterness. It’s refreshing to find a place that genuinely cares about the craft of coffee-making. The atmosphere of the café complemented the experience beautifully. With its vintage chairs, wall-mounted artwork that added an artistic touch, and an overall relaxed décor, the space had a distinct hipster vibe that made it inviting. It’s the perfect setting for enjoying a good coffee, whether you’re looking to engage in conversation with friends or simply unwind with a book. If you’re in Cardiff and searching for a place that values quality coffee in a charming environment, this café is definitely worth a visit.

Friendly staff, everything was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was super chill. Good prices as well. If we lived in Cardiff, we’d be regulars!! 💛

Nice concept in an up and coming location. Food was pretty good and prices reasonable for city centre location. Staff could have been more attentive and professional - no spoon with coffee, not much engagement when placing order and all stood around chatting when we left and called thanks. A bit more attention to detail would really make a difference.

Love this spot for GOOD coffee and cute small bites. Refreshingly independent in the sea of the center’s chains, great value, lovely atmosphere and vibe. Plus my kids’ favorite hot chocolate (with whipped cream). Long live little man!

Service was good, it’s a nice little cafe - some comfy seating. I didn’t eat, cakes looked nice though. However, the cappuccino was horrible - just learn to make a decent cappacino and you’d have a great cafe. Mine was just a milky coffee.

Update for December 2023: Possibly my favourite cafe anywhere. Coffee is great, staff are phenomenal and so friendly, and it is just such a chilled out spot. I love that they stock so many coffees from a huge variety of different welsh coffee roasters, and can even enjoy this selection at home now with the new coffee box delivery Little Man do. I have so much love for Team Little Man - thank you all! :) Original post: My favourite cafe in Cardiff. Coffee is fantastic, food is delicious, and they cater to veggie and vegan too which is good for our friends. Always vigilant and helpful with my allergies - can't fault them. The staff are all lovely and the atmosphere is chilled and happy. Not too pretentious, and doing their bit for the community. Also dog friendly, and they even deliver coffee or alt milks to your door! 6/5 stars if I could!

I was having a bit of a cry before I got the salted caramel hot chocolate and I genuinely think it was so good that it calmed me down. Possibly the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had. Helps that the vibes inside the shop were very calm, and the member of staff was lovely too (I don’t know his name but he had ginger hair and glasses) and even warned me when the machine was going to be loud. 10/10.

An alright place to have breakfast and the avocado on sourdough was delicious and plentiful. Though they could take it down a notch with all the bird seed on top (nuts, flaxseed, sunflower seeds) because i found myself coughing from breathing in it in. On my first initial bite, but anyways all was fine and it’s still a great day.

This place used to be much better and our usual spot for breakfast . But unfortunately it seems like the quality has gone downhill and you see fewer and fewer people in the cafe. The breakfast quality is so poor now and the portion size has halved on every ingredient even bread!! I don’t think we’ll visit again unless forced to. Very sad for the this business

This cafe is at a nice location, within short walk from the national sport center. Very convenient. It offers a simple and non extensive menu. We went for the meat breakfast, pancakes and a veggie breakfast. For which, I asked if I could replace the cheese as it makes one very bloated! But been told by the waitress that CHEESE isn't an allergy, and they won't swap anything out. I don't recommend on their customer service, but their food was nice, especially the pancakes! The chef who served the food was very friendly. Unlikely to return unfortunately.

Came here on Saturday few weeks ago. I was served by a very lovely girl (I think her name was Sophie) she recommended the hot chocolate. I definitely come back.

Amazing food! So good that we came 2 days in a row. I only wish we tries it on the first day we could but alas, we stumbled upon it on the second last and last day of being in Cardiff. The lovely batista person behind the till had asked if we wanted a loyalty card and we explained we were on holiday. When we went back the next day he asked us if we were certain and we said we were sadly driving off after our breakfast. I noticed after paying for some sandwiches etc. for the road, that they had peanut butter, dark chocolate and sea salt cookies and asked my husband to get me one and the batista person gave me it on the house for returning, and wished us a safe journey. This genuinely made my whole day! Please go here, its soo good. I recommend the rose and jasmine tea, and honestly anything with poached eggs because the food was outstanding.

This is my closest local coffee place and I really love coming here! However several times now I've received a coffee with oat milk that has curdled, meaning it's either at or past its date, or has not been shaken properly which results in chunks. Please check this more carefully in the future.

I visited slug and lettuce to celebrate my birthday. We arrived early and the team let us sit down anyways and within five minutes we had our first of many drink orders. The drinks were continuous and the service was spot on. The food was lovely, however could have been a better variety. Overall I enjoyed my time very much, drinks were amazing and atmosphere was brilliant 🤩

Had such a great time here! Jasmine was absolutely amazing — so friendly and attentive throughout. The food was delicious, and the bottomless drinks came quickly, even with the busy crowd. The music was a bit loud for us and it got quite warm upstairs, but the lively vibe made up for it. Overall, a fantastic experience with brilliant service — we’ll definitely be back!

Came here for a bottomless brunch with a friend we had a great time. We were served by Tilly who had an amazing attitude, was so lovely, and good drinks knowledge. Drinks came out quickly and food was good too. Would definitely come back for a bottomless or just drinks again!

Joab was an amazing waiter. Quick service, even let us have more drinks after our time was finished, wouldn’t recommend a nice server. Will definitely come back :)

Had an afternoon bottomless brunch with my choir ladies (26 of us) the service was excellent. Jess our main gal was so sweet, efficient and professional. The drinks were great and the food excellent. We sang happy birthday to 3 different parties and did a rendtion of O Gymru on the stairs for the whole pub before leaving. Great afternoon. Great atmosphere and great value for money. We will be back.

Very poor for what I envisaged a decent establishment. Food very mediocre, service was non existent. Had to order food at bar, we were a table of 9 and food came out for 3 of us.. 3 others about 5 mins later, 2 others another 5 mins and 1 had to wait another 15 mins as you can see on photo all finished and guy on end just started.. its just poor, you ensure everones meals are ready together. Had to ask for cutlery. No one asked if we needed any sauces. No one asked if we enjoyed food. No apology for lateness of the 1 meal. Totally sterile waiting staff..

We were served by jasmine. She was so incredibly helpful and lovely. Helped us with any questions we had and kept the drinks flowing quickly. We had bottomless brunch and could not recommend it enough in comparison to other option in the central of Cardiff.

Went to the cinema here and had a drink in the lovely sunny courtyard. The cinema was very impressive and not too hot inside. The seats were very plush but a little bit tight on the hips, leg room was fairly good. I really enjoyed this cinema, highly recommended.

Today I attended an event at Chapter Arts Centre focused on patients, medication, and our health.. bringing together doctors, pharmacists, clinics, advocacy groups, and patients alike. The event itself was wonderful: informative, inclusive, and full of positive conversations about how we can better support one another. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by the venue’s actions. Attendees were asked to leave because the staff were not up to date on what CBMPs (Cannabis-Based Medicinal Products) are. This decision felt deeply discriminatory toward people who rely on prescribed medication for legitimate health conditions. It’s important to remember that the Equality Act exists for exactly this reason.. to ensure no one is treated unfairly due to their health or medical needs. Stigma should never override the law or compassion. Many of us attending were simply trying to participate in an event about health and wellbeing, yet we were made to feel excluded for managing our health responsibly. I truly hope Chapter Arts Centre takes this as an opportunity to educate their team, review their policies, and work toward becoming a more inclusive and understanding venue. No patient should have to fear being discriminated against for their prescribed treatment.

Great venue. All refurbished since I last visited (more than 10 years ago). Friendly, spacious cafe and bar and comfortable cinema screens. We parked a few minutes walk away

Great location and space It's fab they have vynil music evenings. BUT I have not seen a decent exhibition here for the last three years. They always look like random items from the charity shop bin. I went there again today, and they have empty picture frames on display.. Give local artists a chance, employ local people who are in touch with the community.

Me and my dad went just for the gallery and we absolutely loved and analyzed the current exhibition. We really like what the artists were expressing and felt the difficulties endured by those immigrant women. It was thought provoking. We got a pleasant and interesting visit. I recommend this place especially if you're into modern art.

I discover this beautiful Centre during my last time in Cardiff. Stop over for a coffee and a cake in the large coffee bar. A wonderful ample room, with a lovely atmosphere, where to socialise over a coffee, but there is much than a cafe: cinemas, theatres, exhibition spaces, studios, etc. Im coming back.

I've been coming to Chapter for 6 years and it's such a fantastic and valuable centre for arts and culture in Cardiff. The cinema programme is always really interesting - a mix of films that would be shown at the bigger chains, smaller films that I don't see elsewhere, and series/festivals (e.g. animation film festival, short films etc). I've only been to see a theatre show here once but it was great. The Caffi Bar serves excellent food and drink and is a lovely place to chill out by yourself or with friends. Diolch yn fawr to the Chapter team!

What a shame - and what a missed opportunity. The hotel is housed in an incredible old building and the outside approach is striking as you walk to the main entrance - almost like a grand French chateau. Unfortunately there are all sorts of let-downs once you check in. The purple and black decor is more like a relic of a bad 90s nightclub - does anyone really want padded black leather behind their head, deep purple walls and a random history of the building printed on the ceiling above the bed? (Weirdest design decision of all - see photo...) We had a bed which was comfortable and clean but pretty small - too small for the size of room or for us to sleep comfortably. It was also hot and stuffy throughout the hotel - with double glazed/double width windows that restricted the amount of fresh air you could get into your room. There is an amazing grand hall behind reception, but it's just left abandoned and unlit in between functions and feels like a forgotten part of the building - right in the centre of it. The breakfast buffet is extensive but poor quality - worst (bready and tasteless) sausages I have had for a while, black pudding that wasn't cooked, powdery scrambled egg, tinned mushrooms. The only yogurts available were banana and toffee flavoured - not a great breakfast choice. And you pay extra for a proper coffee. Someone with a bit of taste needs to grab this place and shake it up - it could be fantastic, but currently feels dated and unloved. Could do better...

We’ve stayed over a year ago and had a lovely experience however, sadly this time we were severely underwhelmed and won’t be coming back. The room was poorly lit, the toilet leaking, and both the bath and shower taps in the room were broken. Also, the hotel was hosting an event, around 50/60 guests were in the lobby on arrival drinking and socialising, it was extremely difficult and uncomfortable getting to reception to check in. The music from this event was playing until midnight which kept us awake. The only saving grace was the receptionist who was extremely welcoming and kind.

Booked for the 26th October at a price of £244 for breakfast and king size room with king bed and hot tub. On arrival was told they had trouble with my booking and didn't have king size bed only 3 beds in the room with hot tub. As this was a romantic weekend away immediately it was spoilt my the actions of hotel. Fair to say we will not be back there. Was offered no refund or compensation so had to stay in room not impressed. Breakfast very good girls in breakfast room amazing. Overall reception terrible service terrible. Breakfast and staff amazing

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Coal Exchange on the 8th of August 2025, and we honestly can’t speak highly enough of the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. A big thank you to Jamie on reception, who was incredibly friendly and polite – he made us feel instantly welcome and set the tone for a fantastic stay. Our room was stunning – beautifully decorated, spacious, and spotlessly clean. The highlight was definitely the spa bath in the room, which added a luxurious and relaxing touch to our evening. It was the perfect way to unwind. We also had the chance to dine at the hotel’s restaurant, and the food was nothing short of amazing. Every dish was full of flavour and beautifully presented. Special mention goes to restaurant managers Haley and Sam T, who were both outstanding – attentive, professional, and clearly passionate about delivering a great dining experience. All in all, The Coal Exchange exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

First room we were given was dirty, carpet not cleaned and no toilet roll in bathroom. They gave us a new room. Table was dirty. Tiles around bath were dirty. The sheets were popping off the bed before we got into it so it was a battle all night. Bedside tables were taller than the bed so were a hazard for bumps as the beds are also small. We booked this hotel over others in the area for the jacuzzi bath but there was no hot water not even for washing your hands. Never again!!

We just got back from a lovely 2 night stay at the Coal Exchange Hotel. The hotel has so much character and charm, rooms are spacious with lovely facilities throughout the hotel. The restaurant ‘Aura’ is a must do, the food is amazing. The staff are always smiling, very helpful, friendly and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend eating and staying at the Coal Exchange Hotel. Is a perfect location also as Cardiff Bay is on your doorstep. Thanks for a lovely weekend break.

Good location but room had not been cleaned old night wear still on door in bathroom, hair pins found on floor and toilet was dirty. Was not told about pre booking the q carpark and nothing on the website to advise you. Lady on reception didn't seem to care either. Room was very dark with not enough lighting, and dirty so no would not recommend to stay here.

Aside from waiting an age on a quiet afternoon for food, before having to chase, I've genuinely never seen such a sorry looking tart. It was supposed to be topped with goats cheese but there wasn't even a hint in the taste or visually. Loaded Mac and cheese was chilled at base of the bowl and cold internally, we had to return to ask it to be heated.

Wish I could give it a 0/5 stars. Waited 45 minutes past our booking time of 8:30pm. Only to be waiting a further 20 minutes for someone to come to the table to serve us. This company will go nowhere! Disgrace. Anyway here is a photo of the Toby Jug - they go for £550 on eBay!

Took the family out for a carvery and straight away were left waiting to get a table. Then left waiting while our server eagerly passed out comment cards for other tables, another ten minutes past. Made our order and had to wait for servers to come out of the kitchen, another five minutes. The food was definitely not up to standard and extremely dry. Server did not bring out the extras we had ordered and tried to charge us for them. Extremely dissatisfied with the whole experience and especially the server who seemed to be more interested in getting likes for her service. Very poor!

Great place to eat. Chef was very helpful. Waitress Tia was really lovely and polite and also good with showing me the food options on her tablet. My wife also enjoyed the carvery meal. Thank you we will come again.

Visited with group of friends. We were eager to see the results of the recent refurbishment. It was very nice and looked a lot fresher. The food was very disappointing. The beef was horrendous it was really fatty, not enjoyable at all. There wasn't anyone topping up the vegetables, there was quite a wait for things to be replenished which caused a queue. Only one pot of gravy with very little left and lukewarm. Overall very disappointed, won't rush back.

Toby Carvery, Whitchurch, didn't disappoint! We went for a family roast—three adults and one very happy child. The carvery was a glorious sight: a plentiful selection of beef, pork, and turkey, all topped with a customary giant Yorkshire pudding. I'm pretty sure I heard my stomach cheer as I piled my plate high with roasties, mash, and veggies, all drowned in gravy and mint sauce. The unlimited soft drinks are a great touch, even if the flavor machine was playing hard to get! The atmosphere was brilliant and the staff were absolutely lovely. A perfect Sunday outing. Highly recommend!

Encountered angry and impolite staff, didn’t feel like they were happy to help at all. Other customers love cutting the queue, mouthy if you confront them. Just avoid going there if you want good customer service or a good time. Definitely 0% pleasure before you even touch the food, 100% disappointment.

We visited on a weekday, it was quiet and we was served quickly. It looks like the food is premade and just needed warming up so did not take long for our orders to arrive (saying that I probably wouldn't want to wait 20+ mins for them to bake a fresh pie) The pies were tasty and as you can see, it's thin crust with lots of filling.

First time trying Pieminister and I loved it! Thought it was great value for money, and the staff were really friendly and personable which was lovely. Will definitely return.

Super tasty pies at a great deal and atmosphere. Lots of combinations to he had. I loved the feelin' gravy. I'm addicted to British pies and I've seen this place in a few cities and have been wanting to try it out. It did not disappoint. Excellent service, well seasoned, and such a great value.

We were a party of 4 and had pre booked our visit. We had a starter to share one of which was crackling and it was so hard you couldn't hear anything else as you chomped on it, but the halloumi chips were ok. My pies came out, with the minted peas on top which meant the pie top was soggy and the mash around the pie. It looked a mess, tastewise it was ok but I prefer my pies to be a bit crispy. The gravy was nice enough. We also each had a cocktail, they all came without any ice and were warm, and they all tasted very syruppy and not very nice. We were app really quite disappointed.

The food they had was fantastic, they were just missing lots from the menu. The staff explained they had been unusually busy the day before and hadn't had their delivery that day yet (even late in the afternoon) so had few sides and were missing some mains. The staff were friendly and open about the food limitations but only once we were ordering and it was getting late for us to find somewhere else. Will definitely be back though, the food/pie was very tasty!

Really glad we went here while visiting Cardiff. We went because we saw they had some vegan options, and there's no way we could pass up a vegan pie! It was nice and cosy inside. Service was very quick and friendly. We ordered the "this isn't a chicken and bacon pie" and the "mooless-moo". The chicken one was nice, but not great, the texture was a bit off and not as creamy or flavourful as we hoped. But the mooless moo was delicious. We added the "Mother Earth" to one of the pies, so also got some peas, mash and a parsnip & kale fritter. Worth the upgrade as the sides were also very good and filling.

Ha, think Yorkshire pudding on a pie is a bad idea. Also, not thoroughly impressed by the food quality. Nothing on the plate tasted fresh. Mash and gravy pretty bland and the pie pastry was tough. I have eaten better pies in London albeit a tad more expensive price wise. It was a hearty meal on a cold winter day nonetheless.

Hey it's ok, better when there actually is live music. Sound system a bit low end and not a good DJ when I went, but fun place to meet up

We came here for cocktails with the girls so can't comment on the food. But, the drinks were reasonably priced and well made. There was a live band which was pretty cool!

5 stars all round. Always a great atmosphere for a mixed range of ages. Live music is always fantastic and the Happy Hour is always a great hit too. The Gluten Free Pizza was amazing 👏 🤩

We had an amazing day. My 50th birthday will be remembered for a long time

Brewhouse bird is the word box. Is amazing! £25. Shreded chicken, salt and pepper chicken, chicken chunks, chicken wings and fries!

Had quite a unique experience, but can still whole heartedly say that's it's the best place to be in Cardiff. We were asked to leave due a photo that a friend and I took, interestingly attached and no, it isn't the couple that were annoyed. The lady said that we were taking photos of her and we were then asked to leave. We shown the photo to security and can honestly say that the security handled it like absolute gentlemen and explained the situation. The service prior was nothing but exceptional and speedy, the pints were great and even though it ended rather negatively, it was still handled with grace. Rare to say that the way security handle things here helps boost this place. What a place to be.

We just visited to try some cocktails. Cocktail we chose was a pineapple and coconut daiquiri extremely sweet and very strong. Only had one then we I'm left as those stairs would be lethal if you're drunk

Amazing food and cider flight! Pizza was one of the best I’ve ever had. Will definitely be returning

Food is decent but I’m not a fan of places where all the ordering is done on an app. The staff were friendly but one star for service given the process of ordering from your phone.

If I could recommend this place a thousand times, I would! We booked a table before going to the Utilita Arena, I would highly recommend booking in advance if you’re going to an event because it can get busy. There are QR codes on the table for you to order but unfortunately ours didn’t work, so we had to go to the bar to order. I had the Green Machine Mac & Cheese which was delicious. My partner had the Rocket Man pizza which he said was great, it was quite big but it was thin so not too filling. We also had to have the tater tots which are always among the best I’ve ever had!! It was busy when we arrived, but service was still impeccable and we didn’t wait too long for food. If I’m ever in the arena for an event, I absolutely will be coming here.

Nice and clean place. Staff are amazing and friendly. Prices are reasonable. Pizza was okayish, wasn’t the best. Too thin and bit greasy. My wine was very good though.

Food and drinks at Stable today, I forget how great this place is. Firstly booked for 6 but ended up being 8 which was accommodated with no fuss. Pizza's were insane. The best selection of ciders and beers. Staff amazing too. Great, straightforward, no fuss, good value, delicious food, great service. Just what we all needed after Cardiff Half.

Absolutely amazing service by Charlotte and Alex, made sure we had enough food and drink, would 100% recommend as it’s fabulous, £37 for bottomless cocktails and food!!! Please make sure Charlotte and Alex get a congratulations and are rewarded for their great service!! Sean was also lovely during the night. Great team overall!!

Bottomless brunch is really good value for money. As a group of 5 we shared bowls of tater tots, garlic bread and nachos to start. This was probably enough food, but then also had a pizza each! The staff were great, really friendly and helpful. I think our waiters name was Evan and he was exceptional. We had booked a table on a day there was a big concert in the castle so everywhere was extremely busy, however this did not reflect in the service. We didn’t have to wait long for our food or drinks. Would highly recommend

I love going to The Lounges because of their huge gluten free menu. Ive been to a few and this did not disappoint. The food was great, a wide variety of gluten free options with a dedicated menu. The cocktails are always great and it's a nice cosy atmosphere. The staff are always friendly too.

First time going to Juno Lounge. We’ve recently moved into the area & noticed it was under refurbishment so we were glad that it was finally open! We had the Tapas & a jug of Sangria.. The food was lovely & the atmosphere was good too. Staff were also friendly & helpful. I’d definitely recommend!

I've visited a few different Lounges venues, and had nothing but positive experiences, and Juno Lounge was more of that. The food was delicious, and delivered quickly, and the drinks were very tasty too! There was a slight confusion with one of the drinks orders, but this was rectified promptly. I was unfortunate to leave a personal belonging on the table, and didn't realise until I was far away from the venue, but Ryan was very helpful in reuniting me with my lost item, so extra thanks to him. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for a reasonably priced place to eat/drink.

I loved that there’s full vegan & gluten free menu. I had crispy cauliflower wings with noodles which was really good!! All staff members were really nice

Lovely place to grab a bite especially with their newly renovated upstairs area. It's bright and airy, filled with natural light and a charming garden-like atmosphere that makes dining feel extra special. We asked for clean glasses but the replacement ones were worse, hence the 4* for service.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Last Saturday, our whole team from the Albany Road Post Office went to Juno Lounge on Wellfield Road for a team dinner. We had an amazing time! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the food and drinks were excellent, and the service was outstanding. The entire team at Juno Lounge made us feel so well looked after, especially Zoe, who was so friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. A big thank you to everyone working on the bar and the floor staff for making our night special. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great service and a relaxed vibe.

A £10M refurb, a bigger kitchen and a fresh/new vibe can't stop the kitchen from serving frozen onion rings and slaw that tasted like it was made from 2-week old cabbage. It also can't stop the bar serving flat beer at £6.50 a pint. Some of the staff were like zombies, also. Had an even worse experience in the Didcot one a few months back. It aint cheap, either, for what it is. Get it together, guys!

Very cute shop for a nice coffee or study date. I ordered a cinnamon roll and some green tea. They accidentally brought me the wrong one they gave me the one with apple, and they soon realized that it’s wrong so they kindly replace it and even asked if I wanted them both. The shop has a bathroom and it’s very clean and accessible to disabled people. It offers a wide range of pastries. Sadly I think that the cinnamon roll was a bit too sweet for me especially with the glaze on top, so I removed it and it was better.

I visited this bakery and found the place spacious and comfortable, with a cozy atmosphere. Their baked goods are delicious and fresh, and I really enjoyed the variety they offer. However, I wish they had a service to warm up the pastries — it would be wonderful to enjoy hot, freshly warmed pastries, especially on cold winter days.

Such a clean and cozy place. I discovered this hidden gem while I was on my way to visit my GP. I like the bakes. Also, their coffee has a great taste.

Such a nice bakery with a huge range of delicious baked goods! I personally loved the cheese and tomato Snegl and had breakfast there both mornings of my weekend in Cardiff.

Lovely bakery, food was amazing so was the coffee. Staff was nice and the atmosphere was very vibrant. You could tell by how busy it was that the foods good! Would definitely recommend a visit but be prepared to spend a bit!

Coffee was average and overpriced. £3.95 for a flat white and £3.5 for a long black. I would expect very good quality for those prices and it didn't deliver. They also charge 60p for oat milk.

This is an elite bakery! In all my travels I love heading to a bakery to get myself a sweet or savoury treat, and this sits top of the pile. At this place I got both sweet and savoury due to the excellent selection on offer. I had a cinnamon swirl that was beautifully soft with delicious flavour of cinnamon and white icing. For the savoury treat I had a cheese and pepperoni swirl, that again was beautifully soft and packed with unbelievably good cheesy flavour. If you’re in Cardiff it’s well worth heading up to this part of town to grab something!

We had Katie for a bottomless. It was on a Friday as late as possible so we were worried about speed of service. Katie was brilliant! Service was so fast and drinks were really tasty- you could tell there was alcohol in them (unlike others!). Great evening and highly recommend!!

What a gem this place is. Went for the bottomless brunch, and it was fantastic. I had the kg of chicken wings, because I identify as 2 - 3 people. Absolutely fantastic food, I was very surprised how good it was. Im a Guinness drinker, and can confirm it was on point. Mind your head on the gents toilets 🤣🤣 i did almost scalp myself. The pub itself is very inviting, and the staff are exceptional and very helpful. I turned up on my bike, so was conscious about having it in view which the staff were happy to accommodate. Very homely and warm inside also super clean including the toilets. Overall a must visit place in cardiff. I was over the moon with this pub, and will be frequenting it. Recommend all day long.

Excellent service, food was absolutely brilliant. The staff very helpful, and it’s dog friendly too. They also have a good range of vegan food.

5 Stars – Amazing Experience at The Woodville Cardiff! We had a wonderful experience at The Woodville in Cardiff! From the moment we arrived, the whole team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and fully accommodating to our family. We visited using Wowcher vouchers, and everything was seamless. Jess was absolutely fantastic – so attentive and kind – and her manager even went out of their way to make a special mocktail for my daughter, which really made her day! The entire bar and team went above and beyond what we could have expected. The service, atmosphere, and personal touches made it a truly memorable visit. Highly recommended – thank you to Jess and everyone at The Woodville! xx

What a brilliant bottomless brunch with amazing service, lovely food and cocktails. The service was outstanding, we didn't ask for a drink once and Liam was an absolute star looking after us and so was Katie . SO accommodating. Thank you for a brilliant afternoon all ✨✨✨✨✨✨

I ordered beef brisket fries and had literally no words when I got a bowl of chips with some sort of sauce with mince and peppers in it? There was so little of the mixture, and even within the sauce there was so little beef. It reminded me of that mince bolognese you get in a tin, but not as flavourful? So weird! I never want to bother anyone and the staff were really nice, but I'm very sad I just paid 7.50 for absolutely nothing even remotely related to beef brisket 😂 If you're thinking about eating here I wouldn't, but it looks decent for pints and student drinks deals.

Great bottomless brunch - Jed was incredibly attentive and the food and drink were class

I'm absolutely obsessed with Tonight Josephine, and Jess and Farrah are a huge reason why! They provided top-notch service, pouring drinks with a smile and making sure we had everything we needed. Their energy is infectious, and they truly make the experience unforgettable. Whether you're there for bottomless brunch or a night out, Jess and Farrah will make you feel like a VIP. Can't wait to go back and see them again! 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give them 10 stars if I could!" ¹ ²

Thank you to Terri and the lovely lady in black with waist-length blonde hair (sorry we didn’t catch your name!) who served us at the bottomless brunch on Saturday afternoon. We had an amazing time! A special shout out as well to Aisha, Jess, and Nat, who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of right up until the end. It’s rare to come across such kind, caring, and thoughtful service and support. A huge thank you to all of you!

I come here many a Sunday and honestly cannot stress enough how delightful my experience is every single time; Jess and Farrah are the ultimate dream team, the drinks are flowing the food is delicious, if you are a lover of fun I highly recommend this venue. Their themed brunches are fantastic, I watched Nicki knockers smash a country themed brunch, everyone had such a lush time all of the staff are so attentive and lovely. Love love love everything about my experiences here cannot stress enough how fantastic they are!

Me and my partner walked in for the ABBA night ( 31st October) we had table service, Bea was absolutely amazing. Came around requally and always had a smile on her face 🩷. Really did add to the night, was such a polite girl 🩷

had Bea as my server that night, wonderful service! super attentive and made sure we were well taken care of the whole night. love her energy and style, made us all feel super comfortable. enjoyed!

Olivia was absolutely wonderful during our visit. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Everything we needed was taken care of quickly and with a smile. It’s clear she really cares about her work and the people she’s serving. Thank you, Olivia, for making our experience so enjoyable!

Lovely experience at Tonight Josephine in Cardiff. The food and atmosphere were amazing and made even better by our server Olivia. She paid attention to detail and made sure everything ran smoothly and all our needs were met. Will definitely be back!

Busy Loungers Restaurant in Cardiff Bay. The menu is small compared to other Loungers but was fine. I had the Spanish Chicken which was tasty. The service was swift, which was good as we were off to a show.

My husband and I love visiting Cosy Club. Mainly because I have food allergies (not intolerances) & I know for certain that my allergies are taken seriously. I've dined out in many locations but the only thing I can ever order is a steak, not in Cosy Club! There's a whole allergen free menu that currently includes burgers, curry and steaks. The Thai curry is STUNNING. One of the best I've ever had, actually. My husband had a smash burger which he devoured. He said it was juicy, fresh and full of flavour. Along with our mains, we also had paprika prawns, tenderstem broccoli and truffle fries... Each dish was full of flavour, well presented and delicious. Agnes was our waitress, and has been many times, actually, and, as always, the service we received was second to none. Impeccable. Agnes is attentive but not too in your face. I told her a fancied a cocktail, she asked me what alcohol I liked, so I told her and she recommended 2 that were stunning! All the staff are really pleasant to speak to. Cardiff Central is closer to my home, but we chose to go to the Bay because we know the service is so good. I cannot wait to visit again.

We had a fantastic evening celebrating our wedding anniversary! Our server Luke went above and beyond to make us feel special, even treating us to a glass of champagne and dessert on the house. The Panko-Crusted Cod was incredible, and that 10oz Rib-Eye Steak was cooked to perfection, served with delicious fries and mac and cheese. To top it off, the Miso Caramel Custard Tart was the best dessert we've had in ages! We're definitely coming back and will be recommending this place to all our friends and family!

We were very stressed by the time we arrived here but that lasted about 10 seconds after a lovely greeting and swift, pleasant service. Lovely people, lovely atmosphere, our dog was welcome and the food and drinks were lovely.

The food here was absolutely brilliant! The Garlic & Paprika Prawns and Iraqi Laffa Flatbread were top-notch—huge portions and bursting with flavour. Each dish, from the Malvani Chicken Curry to the Rhubarb & Bramley Apple Crumble, was beautifully presented and a great value for money. The service was spot on, and the atmosphere made it all the more enjoyable. I can’t wait to come back for another round!

What a gem of a place! We loved the Asian Buttermilk Fried Chicken —spicy but not over the top, and the smash burgers are to die for, a perfect blend of flavours. Every dish we tried was delicious, from the burgers to the delightful Miso Caramel Custard Tart, which I wouldn’t have ordered but loved thanks to Agnes’ recommendation. The service was spot-on; attentive yet not intrusive, making our meal even better. Can’t wait to come back!

Great atmosphere lovely staff so friendly and helpful. Sea bass was a little on the skimpy side, bit expensive, but overall the restaurant has a lovely ambiance 😁and the staff make it great 😊

Phenomenal brunch, and coffee of course! Lovely vibe, friendly staff and great vegan/veggie options. A must when visiting Cardiff!

Some of the best coffee in Cardiff, especially the filter which is incredible. Good food, enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros with plenty of hot sauce

Go early to ensure you have the full menu on offer - we got there at about 2:15pm and a bit of the menu had run out, not their fault, just shows it's popular! We went on a Monday so I suspect the weekend is mad busy. We had the breakfast bun and the burrito, both were really excellent. The merch is very fun as is the classic cafe atmos. A hard recommend.

Me and my partner absolutely love it here! Just the best food, coffee and vibes

I signed up to the Coffee Club subscription one year ago today. At that time I was tired, frustrated and felt overwhelmed at the future. However since starting my coffee subscription my life has turned around. I'm now happily married, my business is celebrating its best year ever, and my cricket team reached our first ever final. I owe it all to Hard Lines Coffee. Fantastic.

The coffee needs no introduction but the food here has proven to be superb as well. Really friendly stuff and great atmosphere. This is a regular for us, both for ourselves and also whenever we have Cardiff visitors.

My fav cafe so cute and the food is so tasty proper American style 🩷

What?! A one star review for Bill's at Cardiff Bay? Let me explain. My reviews are personal to my first visit to any venue. Although I like to have a laugh 😃 I take this seriously so I devised a set of rules to guide me on my way. The first rule of my review strategy is don't talk about my review strategy..... sorry... I was confusing my rules with Fight Club's rules. I always tell peeps that I'm there to write a review and to ask permission to take some piccies. Nearly all say that's okay. I ordered my latte and was informed it would be on the house. I refused and told matey his offer of a freebie could be seen as a bribe. He laughed and insisted that I accept, despite my protestations. Big mistake Bill's of Cardiffio Bay. You were warned. They served my latte in a glass receptacle, another no no in my book. I have been told by others that lattes should be served in a glass, I don't care, don't serve me mine in something see through. The swirly was a bit half-bottomed (cleaned that one up) and to cap it all the coffee wasn't that good anyhoo. I noticed there were few punters around, perhaps they heard I was coming? Perhaps everyone else hates their latte being served in a glass? There's a million and five reasons why the place was relatively empty, draw your own conclusions, or make something up. I've visited Bill's in Gloucester on more than one occasion and thoroughly enjoyed the experience each time. I ain't going back to Bill's in the Bay. Coffee shops - no freebies please - you have been warned.

Been there with hubby and our daughter on Bank Holiday. Really good atmosphere and even though it was busy, they had plenty of sitting area. Kids eat for free which is great and they also have a separate menu for children with plenty options. We had BBQ bourbon burger which hit the spot ! As a dessert we tried their pancakes 🥞 Staff were nice, friendly and very helpful. Will definitely visit again when we will be in Cardiff ! Thanks to the team and kitchen :)

My husband and I visited Bill’s for a late breakfast/brunch today. We were seated outside in the terrace where we were able to bask in the sunshine. The breakfast menu is superb and seems to cater for all tastes and dietary requirements. The pricing is very reasonable. Service was excellent. The full breakfasts my husband and I ordered were tasty and extremely filling. We can happily recommend Bill’s and will definitely visit again.

We were visiting Cardiff Bay for some end of School Summer Holidays fun, and had heard this place was good for food allergies. They exceeded all expectations with service, quality and atmosphere. Would 100% recommend

This is a great restaurant. I went here to celebrate my wedding anniversary and had such a lovely evening. The staff were so lovely, and they made us feel welcome. I had the buttermilk chicken burger, which is really nice. I've had it before, so I knew it was a good choice. But it was the first time we'd tried the salted caramel and chocolate brownie pot. It's one of the cheapest desserts on the menu, but it doesn't dissapoint. It is so rich and delicious. It was the first time I had been to this branch of Bill's, having previously gone to the one in Central Cardiff. And I will definitely go to the Cardiff Bay branch again. Thanks to the staff for making our evening special.

We visited for breakfast, it was fairly busy when we arrived but we were seated straight away. We were asked for drinks order before we even sat down, in hindsight I wish I'd asked for more time to look at the menu as I'd have chosen something different. But thats our error. We ordered our food and it came after about 20mins. I had some hash brown sides which were nice, they were crispy and it was a good sized portion. We ordered eggs benedict and eggs royal between us. It was ok but the muffins would have been better toasted. Only one egg on each plate was runny yolk but there was plenty of ham/salmon and loads of the sauce. I had some excess liquid on my plate, which I wasnt sure what from, I assume water from the egg and it had made part of my muffin so soggy I couldn't eat it and for the price we paid those things were a bit dissapointing but overall it was ok.

Had an amazing breakfast at Bill’s Cardiff Bay and honestly, it exceeded expectations! The place has such a cool and relaxed vibe — perfect for a slow morning by the bay. The breakfast was delicious — portions were generous, and the menu had a wide variety of options for everyone, from the classic English breakfast to lighter and veggie choices. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. The staff were absolutely lovely — friendly, attentive, and just genuinely good energy all around. Big shout out to Gabriel!! It’s one of those places where you can sit, enjoy your food, chat, and not feel rushed at all. Definitely a spot I’d recommend for anyone visiting Cardiff Bay or looking for a great breakfast with great vibes.

Quite expensive given the steak wasn’t cooked to our requirements (asked for medium-rare, received medium-well). Waitress was very attentive but there wasn’t enough staff so service was slow. Given the very limited menu I would expect better quality food.

Done up since I was here last. Long overdue.Very nice. Very good bartender. She's great.

Had a yummy afternoon tea here. Our server (Yulia?) was so friendly and accommodating when we asked to change some of the sandwich options. Really lovely service.

Julia and all were very attentive. Food was delicious and drinks were flowing. Thank you all!

Not many breakfast options (I really suggest to add some locally specific items) but food quality is guaranteed. Love their hash browns and pastries!

This restaurant is attached the the Cardiff Hilton so the prices are geared towards those staying at the hotel. I ate here two nights in a row, the first was steak which was good by British standards (although doesn't compare to an Omaha steak for example) and the second was the lobster club which was really epic, maybe the best thing I have eaten in a restaurant in the U.K.

Limited selection of food at breakfast. A very average experience as a whole.

Waste of money and Cheats. Ordered 2 double and 1 full breakfast for takeaway, the bill was supposed to be £17:15 but was told £20 which I paid. Got home and to my amazement, it was only 1 sausage in total out of 5 sausages that was ordered. Called to tell them about my displeasure and the lady at the counter excuse was that it’s a new chef in the kitchen. Most of the food was soggy and ended up in the bin. So much for wanting to patronise your local business.

Elmer's is unmatched for value and service. I don't think the prices have risen there since 2010. Cost of Living Crisis who? The people working here go out of their way to provide the best service and make you feel welcome. I can't thank them enough for the many times I've gone in hungover and they've sorted me out. This cafe is a pillar of the community and I hope that students and locals alike continue to support it.

Beautiful cafe lovely and clean staff lovely and very helpful i recommend the full English 😊 eating indoors disabled accessible parking outside

Cardiff's best breakfast place, I'm lucky to have such a great and affordable breakfast next to my student house. I used to pack one for lunch when I was writing my dissertation. The staff are very kind and the quality of the breakfast is very good.

The lady who took my order was very friendly, service was prompt, and the food. Wow. I had the double breakfast, and it was amazing. The food was fresh, and it was quality. The only criticism I have is towards myself for not visiting this place sooner!

As many of my reviews will show - I do like a cafe and a cooked breakfast, so I’m not sure how I’ve managed to miss this place for so long. Staff are next level friendly and chatty and the food was superb. I was barely sat down with my coffee in the covered garden area before my breakfast was in front of me, cooked perfectly and piping hot. This is really straightforward cafe food cooked superbly with fresh ingredients. The prices are also startlingly good value, both for the quality and quantity but also compared to others in the Cardiff area. Definitely worth popping in if passing or making a trip for.

We went there for a real British food experience, and it was brilliant! The staffs were very nice and kind to us. They even offer double/mini/vegetarian(which is the one we took) options as well. With the jacket potato, you can order different toppings. Every single menu is made with a lot of efforts, thus they’re all so yummy. When I ordered the chocolate milkshake, a gentleman who served it asked me if it was sweet enough, which was very considerate thing to do. No wonder why this places is always full of people! Thank you so much for our very pleasant experience (: definitely recommend it both for the locals and visitors in Wales!

10/10 experience! The staff are absolutely lovely and the coffee is top-notch. Their banana peanut butter cake is dangerously good! Highly recommended.

That’s a nice gem in the middle of the park. Good quality coffee and nice staff. Beautiful view!

Located next to the river in Bute Park. A beautiful tranquil place behind Cardiff Castle and just across the footbridge from the car park in Sophia Gardens. Great coffee, Welsh cakes cooked on site each morning, friendly staff. Outdoor seating only.

A pearl in the middle of the park. Super kind staff! an amazing energy coming from early morning workers! At 8am , I ate warm, just made, Home made biscuits! tasty coffee! Vegan options. Kids friendly, toilets with sink for little ones!! Dogs friendly! Water fountain around the corner! Nice view and calm of the park! You must pass from here,2 mins away from the national express bus stop! Made my morning and day!! Thanks!

Excellent service, great outdoor seating, nice food. What more can you ask for? When I am in Cardiff again, I would want to go there. The staff was the best. They took so much care in getting everything just right, came and asked questions and gave options. And showed patience with me, I ask a lot of questions. It was a wet day and they set up another table for us under the awning. We took our time to eat and hang out. They didn't try to rush us at all. Lovely place. I forgot, reasonable prices. Loved the latte there.

Have been here many times and it always delivers. Excellent coffee and tasty ice cream on a hot day! Beautiful place in a beautiful part of Cardiff

We arrived after food service ended at 3pm, but they still went the extra mile and toasted me a tea cake! Just a wonderful mix of people, conversations, activity and peaceful environment

Traditional lobscouse with toast seems like a normal dish but this was the first time i have Welsh cuisine. Lobscouse taste great and the beef in it was very tender， with the crunchy toast it was amazing. The chicken ciabatta was tasty with the sauce too it was a pity for the chicken was a bit rough(i prefer thigh than breast). The little pastry that i didnt know the name was crunchy and buttery with lightly touch of cinnamon match perfectly with the cappuccino! Love it!

Such a cute little find! Lovely coffee and loooads of goodies on sale, beef dripping, local honey, teas etc :) V nice carrot salad too

Have thought long and hard about leaving a bad review for a small local business. I bought a salad for 9 quid. It was not much bigger than a side salad. It was vegetables and pasta. The mark up on this would have been a lot. When I asked the guy if this was a normal size he said - ‘yeah there’s quite a lot in there.’ I’m sorry but you should know your metrics and not guess what’s fair - making it right wouldn’t have cost a lot. I felt dismissed and insignificant as a customer. Why would I come back again. Shame as we are a local family.

Just visited to pick up takeaway coffee and tray bake for my mother in hospital, charged £7.90 for small coffee & bake, which was raw!! Coffee burnt! Not good & very disappointing service, will call back for refund.

Lovely little spot with delicious range of food, very friendly service and epic coffee. Dog friendly too which is a huge plus! X

Fabulous coffee and superb locally sourced deli food in a lovely mews of local businesses. We will be back to sample the full menu!

What a gem of a place! Staff are so attentive and friendly. Food was fresh and tasty. I loved the choice of outdoor or indoor dining with a covered outdoor seating area too. Best coffee in the area.

Lovely place - staff and food are fantastic. Especially joely and metch!

Today I have just spoken to the staff here. I was told that the source of eggs are from a farm! No wonder why the eggs are so fresh. The staffs here are nice and the food is great. The portion is bigger than other restaurants. I usually order eggs on toast because the scramble egg is made quite soft and ‘juicy’. My friend usually orders full breakfast. Despite the portion is big, the hash brown is crispy but it is soft and smooth inside.

My favourite cafe in Cathay's. The decor is so cute, the food bangs and there's plenty of choice. The atmosphere is really chill, it's a good place to use the WiFi and get some uni work done, or catch up with friends. Like many students I bring my parents here when they visit because it's such a nice place to grab a bite and have a chat :)

Look no further for a beautiful cosy little bar. Wonderful vibes and excellent service. Ordered a smoothie and it was wonderfully balanced. Thank you for settling my nerves before a big event. X

I went here on 04/07/25 for breakfast and it was safe to say It was outstanding. A really warm welcome from the staff as we entered the cafe helped make the atmosphere really feel like a lovely little cafe. The service was incredible and I could not recommend coming here more.

Amazing service. Gentleman at front of house was a really nice guy. We had English breakfast which I really liked. I wasn’t fussed on the bacon but that was self preferences. The eggs Benedict with bacon was amazing. Sauce wasn’t as flavoursome but still good. They had a bueno latte which was beautiful as you’d expect! All round great place to have breakfast looking forward to going back.

Unfortunately I can't leave a good review and I won't be returning as the pizza base that was advertised as 'hand stretched' dough was a premade (likely frozen) base that was crispy and hard to cut through, but with an oddly chewy texture. Once it had cooled down slightly is was very tough and pieces could snap in half. If it had been made with fresh dough it would have been a 10/10 pizza as the toppings were very generous. The staff were friendly and efficient and there was a nice, relaxed atmosphere. However, being charged £13 for a premade pizza base (and the false advertising) is ridiculous. In hindsight I wish I had made the staff aware and changed my order; however, I was with friends who will be moving abroad soon and I didn't want to spoil one of my last visits with them, or waste time potentially arguing with the staff.

Sorry to say but this has to be one the worst breakfasts I've eaten in a very long time.... I really don't understand what happened. Was it a bad day or is this the usual food served here? Meal ordered:- The £11.50 large breakfast. The sausages were cheap tasting. They definitely weren't anything close to good quality. The eggs were over done and extremely greasy. The bacon was, well, it was so dry it cracked when trying to cut it, and the whole plate was swimming in oil. It was so bad I couldn't eat much of it. I'm afraid this place is over-hyped, its not value for money and neither is the food that good. I wouldn't recommend for breakfast. Sorry.

Visited here for the first time whilst on holiday in Cardiff and it was one of the best cooked breakfasts I’ve ever had! Staff were friend and the whole restaurant was lovely. I am particularly grateful at the lovely staff who looked after my bag that I left behind and packaged it up and helped send it back to me! Would highly recommend 😊

Really nice little cafe, not too busy on a Sunday afternoon and service was friendly without the, "hey guys everything okay?" every 20 minutes. I had a wrap and chose the side salad over chips, the dressing in the side salad was really tasty and my wrap was properly full. Peach ice tea tasted like a proper peach tea rather than a peach syrup concoction. Good selection of drinks in the fridge (was excited to see glass bottles of pop!) as well as hot drinks and smoothies on offer. My friend and I shared a slice of pistachio cake after and that was really tasty, too. Keen to come back and try a breakfast ☺️

Busy but brilliant. Warm welcome, choice of seats and choice of fresh breakfast!

Prices have increased quite a bit, the food quality has dipped considerably. Had the sausage egg and chips, the chips were just cremated oven chips, sausages were definitely cooked and the eggs were solid (no dipping allowed). The milkshake made with ice cream was warm and tastes like banana but wasn’t great at all for the price paid. The smoothie was just watered down flavour. Very disappointing, next time will go to Toby carvery for a cheaper better breakfast. Do not recommend unfortunately.

Lovely cafe with a classic decor. Service is great with plenty of seating inside. Staff is very nice and friendly. We had omelette and a full English breakfast with coffee and tea. Everything was delicious and very well presented. Overall five stars and highly recommend a visit.

Very welcoming cafe. Looked perfect for what we were after. Modern but with a traditional twist. Good size menu. Not bad but something wasn't quite right....coffee was a little cold, maybe the plates were too big but it looked like they were trying fill the plate and so spread the food out. Would recommend dropping the paninis and going for pancakes or waffles for the sweet tooths...not bad but didn't match up to expectations.

Great location for city centre! Short walk from everything central. Lovely rooms, spacious and comfy beds but would usually expect a bigger bed than a double in a 4* hotel but other than that it was very comfy. There was a door which was locked which must lead to the room next door and when the people staying in that room got back at 3am it was like they were in our room, we could hear every word they were saying so walls must be v thin or at least through that door. Staff nice and breakfast was just ok - would stay again but not for more than one night :)

I have to say that my recent experience at this hotel was nothing short of appalling. From the moment I interacted with Ross on the night desk, it became clear that he is completely ill-equipped to handle the role he has been given. His attitude was not only passively aggressive but also dismissive, unhelpful, and frankly, incompetent. It is astonishing that someone with such a lack of professionalism and basic customer service skills could be trusted to manage the front desk during any shift, let alone the night shift when guests are most vulnerable to needing assistance. To make matters worse, the security guard on duty was no better—completely cut from the same cloth. Rude, unapproachable, and utterly disinterested in helping guests, he only added to what quickly became one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. At no point did I feel like a valued guest; instead, I was made to feel like an inconvenience for simply expecting the minimum level of courtesy and professionalism. While this hotel may be inexpensive, that should never justify such shocking behavior or such a lack of basic service standards. Cheap rates do not excuse rudeness, incompetence, or an environment that makes paying customers feel unwelcome and unsafe. I will never stay at this hotel again and strongly advise anyone considering it to look elsewhere. There are plenty of other hotels that understand the meaning of customer service and guest care. Do yourself a favor and avoid what was, for me, a horrific and deeply disappointing experience.

A lovely hotel situated in Cardiff City Centre. The room was spacious and of a high quality and the staff were very pleasant. There is no on-site parking, but there are several car parks in the area.

Hotel was very good although the room was small. The one thing we were very disappointed in was the size of the bed. It appeared to only be a standard 4'6" bed - we are used to a 5' King size bed and as a result, we didn't sleep very well, as we were afraid of falling out. Such a pity as, otherwise, we were very happy with the cleanliness, food and location. Would definitely recommend that you replace those small beds with at least King size beds, for comfort.

Nice location and breakfast buffet. Sadly goes down hill quickly. Older property in decline. Elevator out of service, ice machines don’t work, rooms humid and stuffy. Staff clearly don’t care when issues reported. Many better hotels close by. Best to avoid.

The staff at the Clayton hotel were so friendly and helpful and the services and bar were lovely. Location was superb with just a few minutes walk from the station. The only real complaint would be the shower / bath is really slippery so would definitely recommend using the bath mat provided.

Perfect location, cannot hear the railway. Always love stating here even tho the price is quite high, but it's city centre. Lovely bed, and very quiet and dark with he curtains closed. Thank you for a lovely stay

While stopping at the nearby hotel, I decided that rather than driving back into Cardiff, I'd have my evening meal at this restaurant along with my wife and our 4-legged companion. I tried calling the restaurant, but no one picked up. I walked over to the restaurant to make sure they allowed dogs. The car park was almost empty, as was the restaurant. I waited by the reservations desk for almost 5 minutes while the staff walked about and chatted. Eventually, after a large group walked in, the member of staff finally came over. I asked if they allowed dogs. NO, only service or guide dogs. Personally, I don't see the difference. I asked why this branch didn't allow them, and all I received was "because it does." Thanks for clarifying. In the end, I visited another restaurant and spent nearly £50 and the staff made a fuss of my well-behaved companion.

Bron was our server and she was friendly, quick and really thoughtful with her help. It was super busy but all the staff were whizzing round doing a great job serving people as quickly as possible. The food was coming out the kitchen super regularly and the manager was even helping serve the food when needing an extra pair of hands on the food serving area to speed things along all whilst juggling being on top of front of house and everything else, not too mention his customer service welcome was spot on! The food was nicely cooked, hot and fresh. Only a small note to improve things, the ladies toilets had run out of toilet paper which could have been awkward but thankfully wasn't. The toilets were clean just needing more paper. All in all a satisfying Toby Carvery experience!

Although waiting to be greeted, the staff here are always nice, and Alicia always says Hello, even if we're not at one of her tables. Good food and enjoy the refillable drinks. The ladies toilets need a look at as one doesn't close and the others aren't good.

Enjoyed our carvery, food was hot and atmosphere was great. Our server Bron was lovely and attentive. She made us feel welcome and our little brother (Deadpool) said she was “super cool”

Enjoying a comfortable and quiet corner table. Food was excellent and very generous as always, and service by BRON was very friendly and helpful.

Went earlier today (Saturday lunchtime at 1300). We were served by Della (150). Everything was great; the contrast with the frenetic atmosphere on a Sunday was stark. The place was fairly quiet, Della was very friendly and helpful. If you have a choice I would recommend a Saturday carvery rather than the busier Sunday version. Will be back soon.

The effort and dedication of the staff here deserve to be recognized. Day in and day out, they work tirelessly to serve great food with limited resources, often without the pay or support they truly deserve. They sacrifice their time, social lives, and family moments to ensure we have a welcoming place to enjoy a meal. Their hard work does not go unnoticed. Thank you, Team Gate, for your commitment and for delivering a fantastic carvery despite the challenges you face.

Walked in to be greeted by a young man who told us we could sit anywhere and then rudely approached by who I can only guess was the manager, who spoke rudely to the younger worker for not seating us. Starters arrived, good, liked the refillable drinks. We were sat next to a large kids that was quite loud, despite the place not being busy. However I get that the staff cannot control the noise of the kids. Food arrived, no peppercorn sauce on the receipt after ordering. Eggs for the gammon steak were deep fried in fat and overdone with eggshell, covered in oil - as was the gammon due to the oil from the eggs. I forgot to order a meal, they said they would check if the chef could make this and would let us know (the kitchen had closed). We shared meals and became full and the meal then arrived without them informing us that it would. Almost £90 for 4 people!! Would not return anytime soon.

Went here whilst staying at Premier Inn South . Popped in for coffee on the first night , coffee was ok but table was really sticky felt like would take the table with me when I stood up to go ! All you can eat breakfast was exceptionally good value and was really good. Dinner , again good , but a few issues like no peppercorn sauce available, no bottled water , beautifully cooked steak !! Gents toilet , the floor was stickier than the tables .. no idea why .. but ? Biggest issue is the staff , although pleasant and attentive, not dealing with rowdy idiots whilst people want to eat . By 8.30 the restaurant was empty , I think due to one really loud rowdy table , it certainly put us off of staying . With all the signs around that this kind of behaviour would not be tolerated .. it was . If you want to attach this to a hotel treat it like a hotel restaurant not a bar for those who clearly can't handle their drinks

On leaving Cardiff that morning for Swansea we thought we would give Brewers Fayre a go. Nicely situated just out of Cardiff and easy to get to we went for a breakfast. Quite a busy little place but as it is adjacent to a Premier Inn that is the reason mainly . As what seems to be the normal now, you have to input your vehicle reg into the console upon entry. We paid £17.99 for an unlimited breakfast & a continental breakfast. Along with the cooked breakfast, you had choices of cereal, toast and yoghurt. The bacon was nice but the eggs were swimming in liquid and trying to actually get one one your plate was like a Fisherman trying to land a catch.... It just kept sliding off the slice utensil everytime. Only the bacon & beans were edible so didn't really entice me to benefit from the unlimited part. The 2 bowls of Kellogs cereal had to surfice. Also there was only plain Greek yoghurt, no other flavours so I suppose the bowl of fruit provided next to them was the 'flavoured' bit option. Nice atmosphere in the dining area and the staff friendly but the food isn't quite as it should be. Can't comment on other food options later in the day so hopefully better

Best dinner out in a long time. Plenty of veg cooked just how I like it. Crackers were great staff really helpful. Definitely better than any other venues I have been to in the chain. Was really surprised how good it was.

Spent Christmas day here and have visited for breakfast. The food is delicious huge selection the staff are always so friendly and professional the whole place is spotless. Definitely recommend.

Avoid at all costs! Freezing inside, long wait for food so I cancelled. Asked the manager to take off my room allowance as staying next door, very unhelpful & unapologetic. He couldn’t run a bath let alone a restaurant! I stay at premium inns on a very regular basis, will never stay at one age with this chain attached!

Daniels service was outstanding polite and warm welcoming. All the staff are friendly and polite. I had 3 evenings here and no complaint. Staff are an asset to the company.

Absolutely disgusting service, got refused entry because my straight friend (I’m gay) stated he wasn’t gay when they specifically said it was a gay bar. Owner proceeded to use foul language and call us names after purely stating it wasn’t an all inclusive place and that the atmosphere wasn’t worth it if they were going to decline people for simply not being gay and having gay friends. Disgusting and horrible behaviour from all staff involved. Doesn’t deserve a licence, a name or a reputation.

No longer a safe space for queer people. Expect to get assaulted if you're a female, and expect the staff to do absolutely nothing about it or better yet, it be the staff that ruin your night by being openly hostile. Would feel safer in a straight club now, which is saying something. A shame that it seems that money comes before looking after your clientele.

At the entry to the club there is no information that downstairs dance floor is closed for refurbishment. After paying we realised that and wanted to leave. But the staff refused to refund our entry payment. Overall, terrible customer care and attitude!

Went last night just before 3, wasn’t allowed in because of my joggers. I know full well this place doesn’t have a dress code. Was told all clubs have dress codes (bollocks) absolutely appalled as all my friends got in and I had to go home. Totally ruined my night and quite frankly the bouncers are an absolute disgrace. I have since checked and I cannot find any evidence of a so called dress code. And mind you there were people there wearing far worse outfits than me (onesie’s, miniskirt and I think I even saw a tutu) absolute disgusted by this completely ruined my night, I’m still so upset over the way I was treated, and frankly a disgrace doesn’t even begin to it to describe it. I want to know why I was clearly discriminated against, for what I have no idea. But your website says “fancy dress encouraged” and like I said I saw far worse.

Security is good unfortunately manager couldn’t care less so they can’t do anything to prevent thief’s and spiked drinks

My mate brought me here for my birthday, good overall place. Music and atmosphere, air-conditioning is a bonus. As ex club and bar staff, I was very confused as to why all the bar staff here. consistently double charge everyone for a dash in shorts. How do you have a two dashes in a half pint glass with ice and a vodka? Over charging the consumers is a no no. once I pointed this out, The one woman had a face of disgust and didnt want to deal with me. And another guy decided to put soda water in our drinks. Very disappointed first experience.

I didn't appreciate the door staff accusing me of starting a fight with my best friend and giving me a final warning when I've only been to the venue ONCE until close, so it was very degrading being told I had been kicked out when I was not. Additionally I was given no reason, evidence or proof to why I had a final warning, so unless you actually have evidence don't point fingers at random people... That's just unprofessional as a business and in that case, no wonder your venue has 3 stars... Reading past reviews I've seen alot of people have problems with the door staff and management... so as a suggestion in the future please hire more professional door staff and get new management, or take a photo of the offending people, not to jump to conclusions so you don't mix up it up with other people and say the wrong thing! This has really affected me as a gay person who felt safe in Pulse during the one night I was there.

I wanted to try authentic Welsh cuisine, and this restaurant popped up during a search. It had good reviews, so I thought I'd pay a visit. First impressions weren't entirely positive. It wasn't busy at all, and the manager just appeared to ignore me. A waiter from the bar turned up a short while later and seated me. Then I had to wait a while for the same waiter to take my order for the drinks and since I had already waited a while, I ordered the food at the same time. This is where the restaurant really shined. Every meal was well seasoned and cooked. I absolutely adorned the Lamb Cawl, it was bursting with flavour. Though I wasn't too big a fan of the starter and pudding, that was more to do with my tastes than the quality of the food. The menu is fairly small, which is usually a good thing in my experience but something to bear in mind for those who you who like a more extensive choice.

Shared another amazing birthday lunch in the Thomas restaurant inside Future Inns Cardiff. Thank you to all the staff who couldn’t do enough to help make it such a special occasion. Food, service and atmosphere were perfect. Special mention to Diane, Mathew and their manager Nolito as they were all amazing. Thank you

The food was tasty. We opted for the set menu, but my partner wished there was a little more choice on the menu. The waiter had started doing our drinks, then showed us to our table but appeared to forget our drinks and went on to serve others. They took our cutlery when they cleared our starters and forget to give us some for our main course. The waitress was friendly. Overal, the experience was good and the food tasted fresh. Forget to get pictures of our desserts, we were just keen to eat them.

Experienced the Festive lunch at Thomas Restaurant at the Future Inn Hotel today.What a treat.For starters,not those on the festive menu,the Hotel/Restaurant has gone the extra mile to decorate,creating a very impressive light show!.The Restaurant Manager and staff run a tight ship-service impeccable!.The Festive menu,short and to the point…..Soup starter perfect.The Roast Turkey main course was excellent.Roast potatoes outstanding!(hard to find in Cardiff).Christmas pudding/custard also top drawer.For atmosphere service and top class food 10/10.

Very comfortable and modern restaurant and bar. Staff very helpful and friendly. We did not get the chance to taste the cuisine but hopefully next time 😀

The food is amazing. The staff are all so polite and professional. Reasonable prices for the quality of food and service. It's definitely worth trying.

Great food, great price, helpful staff. If your staying in the hotel, you don't need to go out to eat.

Love it! Needed pre-match grub with my family before Bath beat (🤞) Bristol Bears later. Really hit the spot and fantastic value. EDIT: that didn't age well. Bristol Bears took a very solid victory. 😟

This is by far my favourite place to have brunch in Cardiff!! I'm only living here for a few months so I had originally planned to try as many new places as I can but Cafe 37 won me over right away and I won't go anywhere else. The food is delicious (I highly recommend the eggs benny with smoked salmon!) and their smoothies are just as good. It's pretty cheap, service is fast, and the staff are so so friendly. I will miss this place a lot when I leave!! Please do yourself a favour and check it out!!

Imagine a hotel breakfast buffet. That's the best way I can describe Cafe 37. It's super cheap and you get huge portions but the food itself isn't the best tasting. It's not bad but it definitely won't blow you away. The restaurant itself is very cute ambience was well built with the music and signage on the walls. It's an order at counter type of restaurant from what I gathered so don't bother waiting for table service. The coffee was also the cheapest I've found in Cardiff so far for just £2.5 for a cappuccino. The venue was clean and the food came fast. Don't expect five star quality food but for the price it's definitely worth it. I spent £12.5 on my meal and it was huge.

Tasty eggs benedict, and a huge portion too. Efficient service. Not far to the city center. A good brunch

Cooked breakfast is brilliant and recommend. The coffee is nice and you get a little biscuit on the side which is a lovely added touch. Staff are friendly. Lots of seating. Vegetarian options as well.

Excellent value cafe, just note that it's cash only (I don't know if this is temporary or permanent). They will pop your order through first and allow you to go and get cash, easiest is across the road at tesco. Went with a friend, she had a full builders breakfast for only £5 as it was ordered before 10.30am. I had brioche french toast with strawberries and banana. I asked if I could have some scrambled eggs on the side, no issue. The food was gorgeous, soft and really thick bread full of flavour, topped with icing sugar. Also had a chocolate orange milkshake which was really strong as well and lovely. Lovely staff in the cafe, great service and very chatty. Happy to help. Seems to be a little hidden gem of a cafe, we'd not visited before. We were actually due to attend a different cafe for breakfast but arrived to find it closed so went here instead which seemed to be a major upgrade anyway we were well pleased with our visit. Loads of variety on the menu, can't wait to go back.

Really enjoyed the breakfast, very homely and friendly staff. Definitely go again

Ordered this Yumurta yesterday to try Turkish cuisine for the first time. The food was amazing, lovely atmosphere as well. The service was great as well. Chef afiya was very friendly and lovely. Will visit the place again for sure.

On the outside it looks a bit dark and not as open as cafe 37. We went inside and was greeted by some lovely lad. We chose to sit outside out the back. It was lovely and bright and good atmosphere. Really charming. I ordered the Mexican burger and my gf ordered a build your own breakfast. Food arrived quite quick and lovely staff as usual. The breakfast: Sausage was good, bacon was a bit salty but average really. Mushrooms were delicious and black pudding was good. Mexican Burger: When the menu said it came with salad and chips I thought it meant a side salad. However the salad was in the burger. Not a problem but wasn't expecting cucumber in my burger. Picking up the burger the cucumber and tomatoes slipped right out the bottom. The bottom was wet. I left the salad out and tried again but the burger was just slipping around from wetness and sauce I guess. I ended up using knife and fork and the taste was actually very nice. The Mexican sauce has a little kick. The burger was cooked well with a good taste. Was a thick burger too not some thin cheap rubbish. Shame the bottom bun had gotten wet and soggy. But overall enjoyed the actual taste. The chips that came with the burger were just your average cafe chips. Nothing to write home about. The price for the food was really good though. And the staff are always really happy and welcoming, with the outside being so bright and lovely.

Good food and good service would definitely try again.

The best food ever!!! 😋 I've never tried such a tasty and amazing food and also is such a good experience 💓 staff memebers are super kind ❤️

A close love one of mine’s favourite hobby is complaining, moaning about it and venting; whether its nepotism in his work place, shady business practices or Health and Safety advisor dodging blatant problem of asbestos in his work environment. But one thing he did not complain about, the food at Ramon’s and I agree with him. He was just chowing it down as he goes on and on about health protocols being broken in his company whilst me and my partner were chowing down on our own big breakfasts. Recommend this place if you a good breakfast that you can just eat whilst you complain about your life.

Warm welcome. Clean tables. Varied menu. Friendly service. Food was delicious. Fish &chips- although the fish batter looked darker than we expected it tasted delicious and the portion size for the price was excellent value. Ramones breakfast - again delicious but meat could have been a little warmer. French Toast - super sweet fresh and the eggs with it were outstanding. Loved the beans were proper heinz. Floor needed a dam good sweep and mop. Short 20 min wait for food. Well worth the price. Will return.

Was doing some roadworks nearby, turned up 2 hours early and starving. Found this place and ordered a take out breakfast. Great price and lovely food.

-Friendly staff -No plant based milk -Vegetarian options on the menu, some could be adapted Vegan -Old school style Cafe -A bit run down -Decent selection of herbal teas (teabags not loose leaf)

Ally that comments on every single cafe she visits needs psychological help. This cafe is amazing and id visit until my dying breath. Food is amazing as well as service and I feel sorry for anyone that can't read a single menu. It's 2025 and the truth needs to be normalised again with these ungrateful people. Get help Ally ill pray for you.

If a quality full English breakfast is what you're looking for, then look no further. Many visits later and not a single bad meal! Staff are fab and all the meals are great value! Photo is of their 'brunch' and I have to admit it defeated me 😂 plate and as huge but it was soooo good! Haha

Lovely breakfast and coffee.

At first I was a bit shocked on finding tinned tomatoes on my English breakfast instead of freshly cooked tomatoes, but when I asked for fresh ones they were really nice helpful and gave me fresh tomato. Apparently in Cardiff it's different, so if you'd prefer fresh instead of tinned just make sure to ask before. For the rest the staff is really nice and service really good.

Superb British style cafe serving the best fried egg you'll ever have. A must visit in Cardiff

Love this little cafe. Beautiful food, lovely drinks and the service was amazing. Always worth going to the independent cafes, rather than the chains.

Baked potato, tuna mayo and salad.....tiny spud, suspiciously like a microwave job and dry.....salad looked like it was from a tesco packet, tuna mayo ok but measley. And not hot. Omlette and chips....omlette like rubber, chips were cold and hard...like partly defrosted frozen that had been recooked..again salad from a pack I suspect. Cash only which is ok but had to leave the cafe and go to cash point so we able to pay I am all for keeping cash but I think the option should be available.. Little customer service....we were hoping staff would ask how the food was or something as we couldnt eat much of it, but they avoided our afforts to get their attention so we left without a thank you or a goodbye from either party.

The soup is delicious as usual. We ordered two because it’s our favourite, with two breakfasts. But today the soup was served in a small bowl, much less than it used to be. I raised the issue and they said they would serve another portion of soup despite claiming that’s what they were trained to (serve in a small bowl and they don’t know it was served in a large bowl before). Since then no addition soup, no one bother to ask us, when we were sitting there almost 30 mins after we finished our lunch. This is not the way you do business. Let alone in service industry you broke your promise don’t care about your customers. This is the basics.

Nice freshly cooked food, a little more quantity will help but all around a good place

We stop here for breakfast, which was a good size for a good price. They had a veggie breakfast! Which I really enjoyed and left feeling stuffed! Staff were very friendly, I would recommend.

Very friendly staff, Latté very nice. I could smell cooked fruit tea cakes, but I couldn't see them on menu, so had to ask and very nice they were too. Mite be good idea to put them on menu so people know you do them.

Very lovely and helpful staff and great food!

First time back in Cardiff for 7years. I used to live here back in the day. Wanted a light lunch and decided to go here. Nice time in the summer, pretty busy. The Jacket Potato with chicken curry sauce and cheese was amazing. A variety of different food options. Nice place to relax after walking around. A lot of locals do come here and may curse to each other, visitors may not like that.

It's the best cafe in Cardiff I've had many happy times here the food is always cooked fresh and delicious the staff are amazing and always happy to serve you with a smile and very polite I recommend it to everyone 100% fantastic service and excellent fresh food and takeaways available for everyone

Me and my mother came here for a hot dog once. We got hot dogs and tea. Sat together at one of the tables. It was chilly, we were bundled up in nice coats. Just me and my Mummy having food together. So precious. That day, neither of us knew that she had terminal cancer. It was our last day out together and one of the last meals we shared. She died, unexpectedly, several months later. I’m really grateful for that moment. We didn’t eat together alone very often due to me living far away. There’s something so simple about a hot dog and tea in a paper cup in the street. We could have gone anywhere we wanted, but we chose there. Maybe because laughing over mustard on our faces and feeling the weather together was more special. Thank you for holding that moment <3

Absolutely banging place super vibe (Stereophonics playing at stadium) so outdoor bar and music,food was outstanding I had the bacon cheeseburger and it was cooked to perfection,the boy had a pulled pork bap and the daughter had coleslaw and chips,the food choice here is unreal,the staff super friendly and very courteous atmosphere sitting here watching the world go by by brilliant,this place is a Cardiff institution and a Welsh national treasure without a doubt.

Warm kitchen whispers, Aromas embrace my soul, Love served on a plate. Home can be your childhood roots and the nearby corner shop. It can be talking with your friends over a cup of hot tea or coffee. A sense of home can surely manifest in a multitude of ways, but ultimately, I tend to think that the locals of Cardiff naturally crave the delicious and affordable food serve here. Just bangin’! I know I’m always down for a tuna cheese melt here, especially if there is a game!

Stopped by here on a day out in Cardiff in the afternoon. The prices were very reasonable considering it’s in the heart of the city centre and there’s a good selection of food to choose from. Onto the food, very tasty and served hot. Also there wasn’t much of a wait at all - it was quite busy but the staff seemed to be very efficient. On top of this efficiency was great service. A blonde lady served us food and drinks and she was very warm and friendly. Will definitely come back here next time I’m in Cardiff.

It's such a fantastic starting point for my Cardiff Trip here. We ordered beef burgers, ham and cheese toasties, cheese and beans jacket potatoes and 2 cappuccinos. The price is fair. Foods are good and I love this kind of typical atmosphere, which is full of memories and a historic place. People are nice and friendly. One of the guy who work inside reminded me to be aware that seagulls would steal my food. I must come back again if I travel to Cardiff.

The breakfast was not the best by far and for the price compared to many others very poor. Boiled mushrooms a thin piece of black pudding, very tight. My son had a cheese burger and chips. Terrible, some skinny chips, a bare bun with a cheap dry burger. When he said he ordered a cheese burger, one of the waitresses brought over a piece of plastic cheese still in the plastic wrap. My son put it in the burger and because it was cold the cheese stayed cold, he had to leave it. I for one will never go to this place again.

Well deserves all five stars as the food was delicious their hospitality was great the building itself was clean tidy comfortable and very stylish the staff are very polite, A very wide range of different foods to order from breakfast to dinner set menus if you like a fried breakfast then you will not regret it, awesome

Typical greasy spoon cafe. Price was OK, but the quality wasn't great. The woman taking orders at the counter should try learning some basic hospitality skills, like how important it is to greet customers and say 'thank you', instead of just grunting at them like they've disturbed her.

This is a really lovely and friendly cafe that offers amazing value for money. The Quantum breakfast has so much on it that it comes on a non-standard plate! There was barely time to sit down after ordering before the piping hot food was on the table. Staff are great and the food was cracking - breakfast servings were generous and not greasy at all. The other meals coming out swiftly looked superb as well. In an area almost spoilt for excellent cafe options, this will definitely be a return visit location.

Excellent place to eat food is top class never a bad meal staff are friendly and helpful good service and a car park opposite the cafe too

Sausages cooked in air fryer they were burnt on outside but mushy on the inside bacon overcooked hashbrowns soggin in oil mocha was 4 quid and tasted like gone off milk sour, I dont mind paying top prices but would expect top food or at least make an effort, much better places to go in canton.

Lovely cafe, great food, fantastic value for money. If you order the big breakfast, make sure you're hungry, it is BIG!!

Found this place by accident and so glad we did. My granddaughter and I had a faultless lunch. My granddaughter, who is a tuna melt toastie expert, said it was the best one ever. In fact she had two! The dirty chips were amazing as well. The staff are so friendly and helpful, felt as if we knew them already. Thank you and we will be back soon.

Fabulous dog friendly cafe in the heart of Llandaff. Super staff, great breakfast and a wonderful choice of cakes 🎂

Very friendly staff. Lovely breakfast and coffee. Can't wait to go back😄

Great food great customer service and some nice photo's of the cathedral which is in the same street. Good value for money also. Will beck here again

despite that fact we were very close to closing time, we still got served and me and my 2 friends had hot chocolate + cake. i won a £15 voucher and the food came to just under £15, which was great. will come again!

Enjoyed a baguette with a generous yet affordable amount of filing.

Great breakfast. Nice coffee too.

Beautiful cafe lovely and clean staff lovely and very helpful i recommend the full English 😊 eating indoors disabled accessible parking outside

Lovely place for breakfast. We stayed in Cardiff over night for Depot in the castle and called in here on the way home after reading the comments. I had an omelette with salad and my daughter had a cooked breakfast. Good prices too.

Tuck in Cafe is hands down an outstanding location to get breakfast in the morning in canton, it's in an ideal location with various different shops nearby with plenty of parking within 5 minutes distance allowing for you to easily spend the day in canton without having to worry about parking. On the whole, would definitely go back next time I'm in canton.

Great food, and even better service. Got a full English with a coffee for £8, and both really nice. Just what we needed after a big night out!

This is a cracking local cafe that does exactly what it says on the tin - breakfast and lunch with a lovely menu that is cooked almost on front of you! The food was great and came out piping hot and as can be seen from photos - portions are outstanding for the prices. The staff are lovely and judging by the conversations, many of the people coming here are regulars, which is not surprising for the welcome, quality and value for money.

I don't know why this place was recorded as permanently closed. I would be devastated if it was! So I reported this as incorrect, and now Google shows it as being open again. I've been coming here - with friends, colleagues and family for over 10 years. It's one of the few cafes who will happily swap something you don't like on the set menu, for something you do. If the owners are reading this - you'll hopefully know me, as I always have a large breakfast, and swap the black pudding for an extra hash brown. The staff are so lovely - especially Maria - so patient and calm even if a million things are happening at once. Amazing. The food is never swimming in grease - and it's never too dry - they cook bacon in a way that makes me drool and salivate with every bite! The whole plateful is just divine perfection. They seem to know exactly how I like my food (and that's always slightly overcooked). The coffee is pretty lush too - you don't get a skin on the top - it's a really nice blend. Oh - and the price is right too - I spent £13 on two meals and 3 cappuccinos. Look how much you get!!! But beware - this is a *very* popular cafe - if you don't time it right - you might have to wait for a table - but they'll squeeze you in somehow!

Went in yesterday for the first had chicken curry very good execellent customer service and good prices will be back next time in canton

Fantastic little cafe in the heart ofCanton. I visit 1 to 2 times a week with my elderly father, and the staff are always amazing and welcoming Really good food and coffee Amazing value for money There is parking around the back, and they have a rear entrance Highly recommend

The lady at the counter was very charming and nice. Food also lovely. Highly recommended. If you’re around and you hungry come over and have of their amazing breakfasts 😀

Had a lovely lunch here as always. One of my favourite hidden gems in canton. Staff are friendly and efficient. Food always comes quickly and piping hot. Salad and chips are crisp and and fresh. 10/10 well worth the visit. Picture is of the lasagna!

Quality food and lovely staff, first time ive had chips with a breaky

1st time visiting Care Fresco. Have the set breakfast, excellent value for the price with a lovely Latte. Food freshly cooked and piping hot. Staff were very attentive, friendly and efficient. What more can you ask? Swapped my egg for my friends black pudding.

Nice food, and friendly staff.

£9+ nice coffee beans were freezing Nice toast fresh egg too nice bacon will try other local cafes before coming back

The best breakfast all day! I had the delicious tender egg and fried mushroom toasties in the afternoon by the window, and felt so blessed with curing power. The owner is very kind and waitresses are super friendly :)

Great staff. They let me change the set menu and gave me mustard. X

Regularly visit New Tuckin - excellent menu and great service. Breakfast especially 👌🏼

Probably the best cafe in Cardiff. Modern cafe with cool lighting. Wide menu cooked fresh. Keenly priced, representing good value. Drop in for a bite to eat and a drink Friendly staff too with waiter service.

The food is always delicious, and the staff is friendly

Was great. Food was real tasty, the staff are top

Great service and one of the cheapest and good value meals had in a long time. Defiantly recommend

My first time visiting this restaurant but my friends have been many times. We ordered Monopoly Breakfast for one £9:95. Very good value for money. A pot of freshly brewed tea was really needed with that breakfast.

Monopoly is a top-notch spot for a satisfying breakfast. The food is delicious, the staff are wonderful, and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. After regular visits over the past year or more, we have become accustomed to the Monopoly breakfast and the vegetarian variant, and both never fail to meet expectations. The coffee, too, is without fault. But it's the whole package that makes the difference; the food, coupled with the service, coupled with the atmosphere. We always leave full, happy, and in no doubt we'll return.

Fantastic food and really good service. Coffee is excellent, as was the veggie breakfast. Plenty of seats. Loads of wonderful pastries.
