The 50 best cheap eats in Cardiff

My girl and I had a tremendous birthday lunch comprising the Short Taster 7/8 course menu - we couldn't do the wine pairing as we were driving (cue violins). Each course was a delight - small plates as per a taster menu, each was packed full of flavour, impeccably cooked and an exciting experience. It's difficult to pick favourites so I won't - it was all fantastic. I thought the lamb dish needed more beetroot. The service was faultless, as is the decor. I'd prefer jazz on the playlist, but that's just a personal preference. Worth every penny.

We enjoyed an amazing 10-course tasting menu at this restaurant last Saturday afternoon. I can’t believe we had not been to this restaurant before this. Impeccable service and exquisite food! I was a marmite hater but the marmite butter was excellent. I highly recommend this place.

We had a really excellent meal at Heaney's ahead of the rugby. We had the shorter tasting menu and each element was absolutely delicious. One of the best meals we've had in a while, and that's from two London foodies.

“I had an absolutely amazing experience at Heaney’s. The tasting menu blew my mind, and the staff and service were just outstanding. Huge thanks and appreciation for everything they do!” Thank you for a great night x

This was an amazing find and I highly recommend to others! The food, service and atmosphere were all worthy of 1 Michelin star. Very surprised they hadn’t already got one, but hopefully it’s their time soon. The tasting menu and wine pairing was carefully considered, and well matched. The attention to detail throughout was well designed. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Always wanted to go to Heaneys, and the £35 5 course set lunch menu deal gave us the opportunity (deal was even available on a Saturday). Fair to say it did not disappoint. Absolutely sublime from start to finish and an incredible culinary masterclass. Potato terrine and ox cheek were particular highlights but all of it was 10/10. If you get the chance to go, don’t think twice - it takes the dining experience to another level

Came here for our 1st wedding anniversary. Excellent restaurant with Michelin star quality food and service. We had the long tasting menu and each course was delicious. My wife is lactose intolerant and they accommodated to her needs with no issues. It is pricey but that is to be expected for the quality of food. Courses were weighted towards fish so non fish lovers would struggle with the tasting menu. But having said that I'm not a huge fan of fish but I enjoyed every course. Would definitely return again for a special occasion. I would expect this restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star in the near future.

Excellent restaurant with some amazing food. Unfortunately the Spanish sirloin was not the best, very chewy & fatty. Everything else was great though & staff were very friendly

A solid restaurant. The 600g sirloin was a little tough for being served medium rare. The lamb shoulder was absolutely delicious! Our drinks order was lost so waited around half an hour for drinks. The front of house team were friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Great service only surpassed by the quality of the food. Had the sharing lamb as a main , with prawn croquettes and sourdough to start. The tables are spaced out, the service not intrusive and the general atmosphere was good. Look forward to eating there again.

Living in Spain, it is hard to try Spanish restaurants abroad but asador44 is a great exception. Food has quality and is tasty, the service is good and the wine list acceptable offering Spanish references only including pleasant surprises as Zarate, José Gil, Lopez de Heredia, Envínate or Luis Pérez wines. To my mind, one of the best restaurants in Cardiff

We recently visited Asador44 for our Wedding Anniversary. We have dined at Asador a number of times and it never disappoints. The atmosphere and décor is warm and welcoming, as are the staff. James who served us was polite and knowledgeable about the menu. On previous occasions we have had the stunning steak dishes, supplied by a favourite beef supplier we use and are perfectly cooked on an open asador flame grill. On this occasion, we opted for different dishes. My wife had a favourite of ours Pulpo a la Gallega whilst I had the Confit duck leg with aged rice. Both dishes were a pleasure on the eye and tasted delicious, accompanied by a bottle of the house white wine, which was enjoyable. We finished off with the Chocolate tart and ice cream, which was incredibly rich and indulgent. As ever, dining at Asador44 is always a pleasure and we cannot wait to dine there again.

Went here for a birthday dinner and had the last spot for reservation. Finding parking was a nightmare (not the restaurant's fault, obviously) but the staff made every effort to accommodate us despite arriving slightly late. The food was served promptly, was piping hot and delicious, full of flavour! Ended the evening with a nice little surprise- 44% off the bill at the roll of a dice! (They had a promotion going in January) 10/10 would recommend!

Went for a night out with a few friends who had been before to Asador. The food variety, restaurant layout and the look a feel were all very good. The service was excellent and the food was good but be prepared to pay for it, as it’s not a cheap night out and I am not absolutely convinced the food is worth the price. Would I go again, probably yes but it would be only to go with friends at their request, but I wouldn’t say no. The bill was £400 between 4 of us with 1 bottle of wine in that.

Average verging on bad. Used to come here ~8 years ago and the salads were so good they would make me actively choose salad over other food, it has evidently gone downhill ainde then. Paid £9.50 for a tuna melt panini and the driest side salad of all time. If you want to support local business, Cardiff Market is close door and Maple & Bean are literally next door. Both offer significantly higher quality for a similar price. To quote my wife "The best part of that meal was the coke"

I have been eating at Crumbs Kitchen since it opened in the 70s. The prices , I think, have recently sky rocketed! I ate a vegetable curry with brown rice. The vegetables were cut far too small and it wasn’t that tasty. I did tell one of the servers who said it was a different chef and there was no apology or saying that she would take my comments back to the chef. I paid over £9 and it really wasn’t a fair price for what I was served. I wish I had taken a photo. Come on Crumbs Kitchen / you can do better! There’s a lot of competition out there!

Very nice restaurant tucked away in the arcades. Great vegetarian and vegan food. The quiches are excellent!

Lovely Mediterranean veg pie, vegan sausage roll, and leek & potato soup as well as side salads!

We probably couldn't have found a worse place. To begin with, the glasses on our tray were the same ones used by my previous customers (who probably had very greasy hands). We pointed out to the waitress that the glasses were dirty, but she didn't seem to mind. We asked for clean glasses. We sat down at a dirty table (all the tables were dirty), and no one came to clear them away or clean them. We did our best with a tissue to clean our table. Then we had to wait a long, long time for four flavorless sandwiches, with no sauce, and stale bread that was falling apart... And the worst part of all was that we never got a carafe of water. And it was really expensive. The worst place to go

Great variety of choice for veggie/vegan breakfast. (No meat served here). The salad bowls are healthy, generous and filling. Also serve hot breakfast with eggs. The fresh juice is served in a small jar, very tasty. Plenty of staff on duty (more than the massive Cosy Club round the corner!) - clearly well run 😊

We were recommended this charming cafe and I will be doing the same. I had a delicious jacket potato with tuna and salad, followed by a white chocolate and raspberry cake plus a pot of tea. Friendly service and a delightful atmosphere make this a definite respite from shopping!

Visited here on a Saturday night, the place seems very hectic for what’s meant to be fine dining. We went for the £85 tasting menu, a few glasses of wine each etc and the food just felt flat. The food lacked seasoning, although the presentation was beautiful, I had to ask for Salt which you don’t expect especially for that price point. I’d been to Hiraeth a few days before and it just didn’t match up to it on service, atmosphere or food quality. I think they’re out pricing themselves for the quality & atmosphere vs other comparable tasting menu places in the area.

Menu’s on the pricey side, portions are small (as you’d expect for a fine dining restaurant) but can’t complain about the quality of food - we ordered all the mains except the chateaubriand and a few starters and desserts, all were great and sophisticated but I liked the desserts best - try the peanut butter parfait and yuzu cake! Overall for the price we paid everything is up to standard but not mind-blowing good. Would love to visit again for their lunch menu.

I choose this restaurant for my daughter last year studying in Cardiff, the tasting menu and the scallop not only are delicious but also the presentation are so beautiful. All the staff are helpful friendly knowledgeable snd attentive, the whole meal we feel comfortable snd very enjoyable. Next year will come again when she graduation ceremony.

From the second we arrived we were made to feel welcome and cared for. This was a celebration meal for a promotion and the card on the table was a lovely gesture, which I will treasure. I explained at the start of the meal that I wanted to have the wine tasting experience aswell, however due to medical reasons I am unable to drink that much alcohol. We were offered the chance to have 1 glass of each shared between the 2 of us. Each The food was out of this world, I felt like I should try everything, including the marmite butter, I am not sure what sort of wizardry they had done but I actually loved it! The whole experience was amazing unique experience, well worth spending more than you would normally.......

Wonderful 70th birthday celebration. Treated royally by professional approachable attentive but not overbearing staff who provided expert explanation of all courses at the appropriate time. The flavoursome food was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection everything was a highlight, high level cookery, the Chefs at this establishment are top notch. My birthday experience was both recognised by our servers and enhanced sincerely with a superb miniature chocolate & passion fruit cake which I very much appreciated.

We visited Thomas yesterday for my birthday and were so impressed. The staff were friendly and welcoming but very knowledgeable about the menu and wines. We ate from the a la carte menu and every dish was perfect, so tasty and a very high standard. Lovely touch to serve me a complimentary dessert with candle and a birthday card hand signed by all staff. We finished in the bar area where we had fun chatting with the bar staff and the best espresso martini I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend a visit and we will be returning.

Had a beautiful meal with my husband for our 10th Wedding Anniversary, it was perfect, beautiful food & the staff were attentive without being overbearing. Overall top marks & we really hope to go back again soon.

Chai Street - and specifically their chaat bombs - came recommended to us and did not disappoint. Service was the perfect balance of attentive and giving you space to ponder and eat slowly. The food was delicious. We were just after something light so ordered a couple of the small plates to share along with a portion of popadoms. We also had the delicious mango lassi which was unusually but deliciously topped with fennel seeds. There are lots of vegetarian options and a comprehensive allergen menu accessed by a QR code from the physical menu. There is a breakfast/brunch menu which includes dosa, serves until 1pm. All freshly prepared, full of flavour and good value.

We were in Cardiff for a short 2-day break, and after visiting Cardiff Castle we decided to explore the area for dinner. That’s when we came across **Chai Street**, an Indian street-food style restaurant, and decided to give it a try. The service was on the slower side, but once the food arrived it was clear that the wait was worth it. The chef deserves credit—the dishes were flavorful, well-prepared, and really hit the spot after a long day of sightseeing. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal here. If we visit Cardiff again, we’d definitely come back to Chai Street for another dinner.

Me and my cousin came in today, I've been wanting to try it for about 2 years and I was not disappointed! The decor was stunning, and loved that music from Rocky aur Rani was playing as we sat down. The two guys who served us were so lovely and friendly and brought water to the table at the end of the meal for us which I thought was lovely. The food...the food!!! I've wanted to try both pani puri and thali for ages and got to do both today, pani puri is amazing! What an explosion of taste and spice, so zingy and crunchy, gorgeous! And the thali was amazing, both lamb and chicken curries were immense, hands down the softest, richest lamb I've ever had, it tasted so good and just fell apart. The naan was lush and the raita was so tasty, loved the spiced potatoes too. So much food and it was gorgeous! 10/10 all around, defintiely recommend if you're in Cardiff, best Indian meal I've ever had 👏👌👏 🙏❤️🙏

Excellent thali in central Cardiff in a relaxed setting with great decor. All of the dishes we had were varied and authentic.

I visited recently, I was unsure this will suit my diet conditions. But the food exceeded my expectations. It's really great. Might visit again.

Went there yesterday only to eat Vadapau but found out they had changed the menu and it was not there anymore. Asked the staff about it and they were so accomodating and told us they could get us Vadapau. Initially ordered two portions but since it was absolutely delicious, we went for a third portion as well!! 😂 Really hoping they bring it back to the menu. Pani puri was yum too! The staff there was extremely friendly and welcoming and kept on checking up on us every now and then :)

Tried Delhi Tikka Masala Chicken, Garlic Naan, Peshawri Naan, Raita & coke. Food was full of flavor and spot on. Service was really fast and the staff were nice. Place looks good and is kept clean. Toilets were tidy too. Chill, welcoming vibe. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!

Ran by a lovely family and always has great staff The best of the best for stunning curries. They have a lot of excellent choices for people with different allergies/preferences. There's no missing out or having to settle for just a salad or jacket potato here. Just let them know your allergies before ordering Have been a happy customer for 10 years or so The picture is from my order today Thank you Vegetarian Studio ♥️

Fantastic authentic Indian food. We knew we were going to be in with a treat when we received the obligatory poppadoms and chutneys which were home made and very different to the normal fair you get in an Indian restaurant. The menu is extensive (all vegetarian or vegan) and all absolutely delicious. We left loads as the portion sizes were excellent. The prices are superb (check one of the photos of a menu). The whole meal for two, including a large Kingfisher came to £46. Incredible value.

Although im not a vegetarian, I thought i would try the food studio. The food was very reasonably priced l. I went for the sharing platter to start and the taster platter for a main. Parking is on road.

I was in Cardiff to meet with a dear friend and his wife who were visiting Cardiff from India. Whose diet was vegertrian. I chose this restaurant using the words 'vegetarian restaurant near me'. I was so pleased that I this place. My friends were delighted with the food that was cooked the Maharashtraian way. I chose poori (a fried flatbread), which made in Maharashtraian way (with methi leaves & jeera) served with channa (chickpeas). I would recommend this ... It transported me to my lunchbox during my childhood in India. The service was good. The atmosphere was like a restaurant in India.

Popped here unexpected for lunch. Friendly and polite service. Excellent dish :)

Best food place in Cardiff, possibly all of Wales, and potentially better than anywhere in England. I recommend it to all my friends - if they're ever in Cardiff they need to go to the Vegetarian Food Studio. I am an unpaid shill for this place, except they pay me in food when I pay them for food. Filling portions that are full of flavour. Loads of choices. My recommendation is you should have the Bhel Puri, maybe to share as a starter.

On a recent business trip, I really fancied a Gujarati meal. A Google search brought this place up and the reviews looked great....so I thought I would give it a try. (FYI I am Gujarati). The server was efficient and friendly, the resturant has a sort of charm about it. Sadly the food was a let down. I ordered a plain dosa and a mixed platter of snacks, with salted lasi. The lasi was nice (it's really hard to get that wrong!). The plain dosa was not crispy at all. In fact you would expect a dosa to hold up its rolled up shape, not the one that I got.....it was flat, not crispy, and the flavour was only just passable. The plate of mixed small bites was awful....I left most of it. I think the waiter must have thought I was full and offered to pack it for me to take away - I said no thanks. I was genuinely so disappointed, I was looking forward to some homely food, I can't see myself coming back here. I couldn't work out why the reviews were so high, I think all I can put it down to is the the large majority of reviews are from non-gujarati customers, the lack of other options in Cardiff for similar food...... come on Cardiff, you can and should do better. And as for the owners of the resturant, I know you cook better than what you serve at home, do the same in your restaurant so others can appreciate the wonders of Gujarati food like we do at home. I had to grab a subway on my way back to my hotel!

Absolutely amazing food and service. We got the platter for two with rice each which was plenty of food for both of us and so tasty! We had amazing service too, and were given complimentary sauce, mini desserts and mint tea! Could not fault the experience at all, definitely a great place to visit! And amazing value for money too, a must-try for anyone in Cardiff!

Absolutely lovely restaurant, service and food. Firstly, the restaurant was impeccably clean and hygiene standards extremely high. The restaurants owner and head chef greeted us and took our orders. He was a lovely and polite man, and was extremely accommodating of our needs. The food came in good time, and tasted beautiful. They except cards and or cash, they're are also toilets on site too. Parking is difficult due to being situated on a busy main road. Therefore, it's best to arrive early and find a side road to park on. You can make a reservation online very easily. This restaurant exceeded my expectations and it will for you too. It's fantastic and the staff make sure you are looked after. I am so pleased I found this place, as I will be coming back. Thank you for a lovely time.

Had the pleasure of dining here during our visit to Cardiff. Received a warm welcome when we arrived and the service was second to none. The food was amazing and delicious (ended up ordering more than initially planned 😋). Would come here again next time we pass by.

Best on City Road (with hot competition!). Friendly service, amazing food, great atmosphere. Platter for 2 outstanding.

It was a nice and clean venue. The service was fairly fast. Portions are big. I just couldn’t get the taste I was expecting. Lamb and chicken dishes did nit taste too different than each other because they were both dominated by the spice in the mince. I appreciate the nature of Syrian cuisine but as a person who’s familiar with another cuisine, it didn’t feel the same with the taste. Patatas Barras was very good. Just like patatas bravas but Syrian version, a bit more spicy 🙂 Platters for 2 was quite enough for 2 people. Surrounding of the venue wasn’t very easy to find a space for parking. We found a place on the street behind the venue but honestly it didn’t look very safe there.

We booked a table for two but later realized it wasn’t necessary unless you're a bigger group—though some tables were reserved, so it was still a good idea. We ordered the mango lassi (refreshing and not too sweet), the Shaam Night's Mezza Mix for starters (great variety and plenty to share), lamb biryani (Syrian-style, tasty but quite different from the usual biryani—more herby, less spicy), and the mixed grill, which came with rice and was very generous in portion. In fact, we had more than enough food for two! The whole meal came to around £50, which felt like good value. The staff were friendly but not very interactive, just professional and efficient. The decor is beautiful—stylish and modern, with a nice ambiance. Overall, a pleasant experience. Would come back, maybe with a group to try more dishes!

Been there the food was good along with dessert Tried steak ,Lamb shank and dessert it was nice My MRs. Was happy

Tables were very cramped, waiters knocking the back of my chair. Wasn’t overly busy so unsure why we were squeezed right next to the entrance of the bar. Asked if we wanted water for the table.. which we later realised cost £4.50 for a bottle! Food came out very quickly, everything seemed rushed. As soon as my knife and fork hit the plate a waiter took my plate away and the mains arrived. 5 different waiters hovered around asking several times if everything was ok, felt awkward. Overpriced, average food, strange atmosphere, sadly I won’t be returning

My mother and I ate here in April and it was the best food and service we had on our three week trip to Britain. I look forward to eating there again someday.

Very tasteless, non-authentic, and overpriced food. We had to call waiters over to order, to have starters removed, and we ended up walking to the till to pay where they still reminded us that “service charge is not included..” Carbonara was particularly poor, very oily (why?) and undercooked pancetta.

Fantastic restaurant, the food was fantastic. For a starter I had a Calamari fritti and my partner had a salmon cheesecake which was fantastic! Salmon, cream cheese on a cheesecake base. For a main I had vodka al salmone and my partner had a ragu. Everything was fantastic fast service, lovely ambience and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit if you want an Italian date night and good wine!

I had the Gamberoni and salmon spaghetti special with a refreshing virgin mojito and my girlfriend had a pepperoni and meatball pizza, and the food was absolutely delicious. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming, the chef personally came out to thank us for dining with them too. I would highly recommend Giovanni's to everyone when in Cardiff, and we are definitely coming back.

Food is decent Italian quality but not the best I've had in Cardiff. We had a larger reservation but even though we were the only people in the restaurant we had to wait a long time for drinks to come. And then a long time for food to come out. Food was good, but the waiting was a bit much for us (we were hungry). Generous portion sizes.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Giovanni’s used to be one of Cardiff’s best restaurants, but it’s fallen off a cliff. We went after the Cardiff Half Marathon expecting the same great food and service we’d had before. Big mistake. The place was almost empty at peak lunchtime, which should’ve told us everything. We ordered two pizzas and a chicken dish and waited 40 minutes, having to ask twice where our food was. The pizzas were undercooked, stodgy, bland and nowhere near worth £20 each - think Tesco’s regular but with a little more cheese. We left half of them. The chicken dish was even worse - lukewarm, cheap-looking and straight-up inedible. Veg was dry, because it had been reheated, and the chicken bland and tasteless, when challenged, they agreed not to charge us for it. Just plain, out and out, sub-standard food and service. The waiting staff were polite, but the manager’s over-the-top had-wringing apologetic gravelling made things even worse. But stilled charged full price for the pizzas! This place has gone from being Cardiff’s best and favourite to an overpriced Ask Italian. Won’t be back; what would I advise others, what do you think?

Visited with our dogs. Very dog friendly. Ale and food were fabulous. Thanks to the chef for popping out to ask if our meals were ok. Bar staff really friendly and knowledgeable. Awesome .

First of all came in and it was very friendly service. Ordered boneless chicken strips and when it’s came out it was the bone chicken wings. I went up to the waiter to say about this and he sighted not very nice about it even though it was their mistake. When the boneless chicken strips finally arrived they were dripping with water and falling apart. Overall terrible food and service won’t come again.

We hired a space here for my 30th birthday and it was perfect! We had exclusive use of the canope area and were able to decorate the space and play our own playlist, which made the event feel really personal and fun. The staff were absolutely lovely and made sure everything ran smoothly. The food was great, and the beer/cocktails kept everyone happy. Highly recommend this venue for anyone thinking of hiring a space for a party or event (plus the doggos can join in). A special mention to Zechariah who helped the vision materialise by meeting with me beforehand and corresponding to my 100 emails and questions. Super star!

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Came here for lunch this afternoon with my wife, dog and baby daughter. From the moment we arrived nothing was too much trouble. The bar staff were lovely, offering a high chair for the little one and even some dog biscuits for our lab! The staff were also very knowledgeable about their drinks and even gave my wife a free sample to try! (Which was delicious). The food was affordable and great portion sizes. The fish finger sandwich particularly went down an absolute treat! Thanks guys!

Very disappointing experience at the Brewhouse for Father's day. We were sat down at our table and we ordered our drinks which were supposed to include a free pint of beer and single shot of whisky. The waiter told us that is was only half a pint and walked off. We had to go to the counter and show the actual advert, they reluctantly agreed. Our drinks arrived and no whisky. We called them back over and eventually the whisky arrived. The whole situation appeared intentional to not give the free drinks. The food arrived relatively quickly and we were again disappointed (photo added), there was a small portion of vegetables and even less gravy. They refused to add more vegetables and reluctantly brought over a small additional portion of gravy. Before we could ask for any sauces, they walked off again. I then had to go and ask for them. I wouldn't have minded if it had been very busy, it wasn't at all. We've been here for the last 4 father's days, unfortunately it will be our last.

I've been coming here for decades, when it was the Mochyn Du - only one of two pubs that served Leffé on draught.. There's always a friendly crowd here in large and spacious in and outdoor areas. My visit on 20/6/25 was distasteful as the queue was long, but people were getting served at a good pace, however; when I got served at 5.55, the pleasant young lady said the 6pm happy hour had finished!? There were other customers frustrated by this too. We left early due to this disappointment.

I visited the Brewery and Kitchen in Sophia Gardens with a friend last month, on a busy Saturday, and had a wonderful, delicious meal at a very good price. Great atmosphere. The staff, led by Amy, were helpful and delightful. I had a beef burger laced with a delicious 'jam', one which Amy's grandmother makes at home. And the sweets were fabulous. I would thoroughly recommend a visit... and ask Amy about the jam!

The most perfect way to spend an early evening or lunch. The 3 tapas and a drink for £22 offer is outstanding value for the quality of food you get. I’ve been all over Spain and the U.K. and other than in very few Spanish places, it has to be the best tortilla I’ve had. Runny and gooey like it’s meant to be, not stone cold and dry like a lot of U.K. places. The chicken was so soft and tender. Machego with honey.. need I say more. My only criticism is they might want to invest in some kind of sound proofing as it does get very noisy. Otherwise definitely coming back!

Loved the authentic Spanish tapas here. Each dish felt thoughtfully crafted, and the flavors reminded me of being in Spain. The staff were knowledgeable about the wines — a fantastic dining experience overall.

A fantastic tapas bar/restaurant! We opted for the early evening menu which offers a drink and 3 tapas for £24 which we found to be excellent value. We enjoyed every dish and also the red berry sangria very much. Portion sizes were generous for tapas at the price point. We could easily have ordered more but decided to go for dessert, both of which were again, excellent. Very tasty food. If we return to Cardiff we will definitely try the sherry flight tastings which also looked good value! In short - lovely surroundings, friendly staff, excellent food and a great choice of dishes. Highly recommend.

We arrived without and booking and were welcomed by Gemma, who was really accommodating and offered us a big table even though it was a Saturday evening. We ended up taking one for two as it was quieter, but the flexiblity already made a really good impression. Gemma knew the menu inside out and made exellent recommendation on both food and drink. This was the type of service you normally only get in the US. Every dish was amazing (shrimps, fish, anchovy cesar salad, artichoke, blue cheese and Basque Cheese cake) and the house sherry and brandy excellent. This is the best dinner I have had this year. I would actually come to Cardiff to eat here agin, The food and drink is better than Spain!

Gorgeous food, amazing service Would recommend the tuna belly! Will be coming back for cocktails

Absolutely first class tapas. Food delicious and great service. Highly recommended. The deserts and sweet sherry's a real revelation.

Came here with my parents for a social dining evening. The vibe was great, felt like an underground Spanish barn. We had lots of different food, my favourites were prawn bisque rice, Jamon Iberico, ox cheek and Cecina Caesar Will definitely be back

Grazing Shed is the perfect spot if you're craving a great burger in Cardiff. The burgers are high-quality and served quickly, with a variety of options to choose from. Just a heads-up: adding chips can be filling. The soda options are unique – not the traditional flavours you might expect, but enjoyable all the same. We tried the John Wayne, the lamb burger (incredibly tasty and tender), and a smashed burger, and shared an unlimited soda. We also ordered chicken wings, which were flavourful, though maybe just slightly overcooked – but not enough to dock a star. The main reason this isn't a five-star review is the price; we spent about £55 for three people. While the quality is worth it, it would be great to see the prices come down a little so we could visit more often. Seating is all on benches, which can be a bit uncomfortable if you need back support – something with better seating would be a welcome improvement. Ordering is straightforward with an iPad system they likely introduced during COVID to streamline the process. However, you’ll still need to check a paper menu to see details on ingredients and sauces, as the iPad interface doesn’t display all of that. It’s a nice feature but could be made more user-friendly. Overall, if you're in Cardiff and looking for a quick, filling burger, Grazing Shed is a solid choice. Just be prepared to spend a bit more than you would at a pub or fast-food spot.

Food was delicious and service was amazing, very friendly staff. Although, the portion sizes were slightly smaller than anticipated, it was worth the price.

Fantastic freshly prepared burgers with lots of different tasty options available. Sauces and buns are also made on site with no additives. We tried two of the most popular burgers on the menu (beef and chicken) and had to upgrade to the dirty fries!

Had the goats cheese smashed burger, was SO good. Chilli chips nice too. Ordered for collection and everything was still fresh and piping hot. Cool little place inside too. Would definitely recommend!

Had an amazing time at The Grazing Shed! Their burgers are AMAZING, the Dirty fries and Halo Fries are AMAZING, and their staff were extremely kind. We were visiting from Bristol and we choose this place for our lunch… we feel so lucky that we did! Please make yourself a favour and pay them a visit. 10 out of 10

Excellent burgers! We had the festive menu which was so good, loved the festive fries & the Festive Frank chicken burger was full of flavour. Staff really friendly, shakes are legit & place looks nice indoor & outside with the Christmas lights up. A must visit when in Cardiff & close to the Utilita arena!

Had Giant haystacks and they were fantastic. I love visiting when we take a trip into Cardiff city centre. 100% recommend to anyone who enjoys a good burger.

Not bad not great. It seems to have loads of potential but I just wasn't overly fond of the beers I had. We ate there later on as everywhere was rammed and the food was OK. The pizza dough tasted quite dry. I suspect the hydration needs to be higher. Much better than chain pubs but sub standard for a micro brewery

Friendly and welcoming staff, guided us through the options and were very welcoming to whatever we wanted to customise. Loved the beers and cocktails. Didn't get any food.

Excellent craft beer and pizza restaurant, really great service, fun, polite and professional, good craft beer, good offers on steins, and amazing pizza. We shared the pear and Gorgonzola, and goats cheese pizza, with rosemary garlic bread. All fantastic, brilliantly cooked, great dough base and generous toppings.

An absolute unwelcoming place. Came in today, group of three. No smiles, greetings.. We ordered food and watched the chef make our amazing pizzas. Our food was ready but no servers. . The lovely lady in the kitchen then had to serve us food as nowhere to see anybody for more then 30minutes. The chef even did checkback. And offered to help us cut the pizza's. After an eternity two staff members came out from the office and continued chatting on bar. The couple on the bar gave us an absolute horrible service and as a fellow hospitality worker.. it was the most ignorant service ever .. Thanks to the chef for the amazing pizzas and kind service. My advice change the front of the house staff as they are letting down this place more and more.

We visited Zero Degrees for an informal working dinner with colleagues from several countries. The venue seemed ideal — relaxed, flexible, and well-suited to our group’s staggered arrival times. Unfortunately, the evening was disrupted by extremely loud karaoke, which made it impossible to hold any meaningful conversation. For a large group booking, we would have expected to be informed in advance about such events, as it significantly affected the purpose of our gathering.

Visited as a medium sized group for food and drinks, the order came out wrong which meant a fairly long wait for a new pizza to be made. On the order there was a portion of dough balls which were just several little dry rolls with a pot of butter, an absolute stretch to market as dough balls. The venue itself was bland and they decided to cold call a few weeks later to ask us to book in with them again?! Never gave permission for this and found it a bit strange. Definitely wouldn't return as there were no real redeeming qualities.

Sunny day in Cardiff, so sat on the balcony, very refreshing Perfect Pils, staff freindly as usual, welcoming feeling to the place. Didnt eat anythong. Recommended.

Lovely restaurant with good food. Not the best Indian ever but decent quality. The staff was very polite but unfortunately, the service was a bit slow. We took about 10 minutes to order our drinks and 5 more than 5 minutes to receive it. Also, the food took a while to arrive. Maybe an unlucky evening or maybe they were short of staff...I will try again in future...

Delicious Food and Amazing Service! I absolutely loved my visit to Mowgli Indian Street Food! Every single dish was bursting with flavour — fresh, vibrant, and full of spice in the best way. You can really taste the care that goes into each recipe, and everything came out perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was lively and relaxed, and the staff were so friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed, they made the best recommendations for us. It’s clear they really care about giving their customers a great experience.

Had a fabulous time at Mowglis last night for my partners birthday. Being our first time at mowglis we ordered a selection of food as suggested by our server Lara. We ordered the angry bird chicken thighs, mother butter chicken, Goan fish curry (spicy but so gooood), Aunty Geetas prawn curry (outstanding), roti and rice. The stand out dish was Aunty Geetas prawn curry it was phenomenal. Special shout out to all our servers Jack, Jack's brother (sorry didnt get your name) & Lara all three were helpful, charming and very knowledgeable at the restaurant.

We visited on 8/11/25 lunchtime as a party of four for my wife's birthday. This was our first ever visit to Mowgli restaurant and much anticipated. The menu options were very attractive - thankfully different from normal British Indian Restaurant fare. 2 of is opted for the sharer at £25 each - main elements are pot luck as decided by Chef. Ours were a house lamb and a house chicken curry plus rice, paratha, black dahl and some amazing explode in the mouth Yoghurt Chat Bombs. All very tasty, reasonably spiced and great layers of flavour. The other two chose individual dishes including butter chicken, Dialing Cauliflower, fenugreek kissed and tamarind treacle fries. Again, some great flavours. The sharers included a dessert of salted caramel ice-cream, the others had an excellent chocolate brownie and a coconut ice cream with my wife being given a brownie as a birthday treat - a lovely gesture. Total bill with glasses of (very good) wine was £170 which felt quite reasonable for the quality and quantity - the latter being adequate to fill amply without waste. I've marked the atmosphere down due to an adjacent loudmouth man who was abusing a female companion to the point of a staff member intervening. No one's fault but just spoiled things for a while. Will definitely return and also look out for other branches around the country on our travels.

The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, with excellent service and very friendly, attentive staff. While we appreciated the overall experience, we felt that the dishes lacked the authentic Indian flavors we were expecting. We believe that with an experienced Indian chef, the restaurant could truly elevate its menu and match the high standard of its atmosphere and service

Went for our anniversary - arrived 15 minutes early which was our fault so waited at the bar with the loveliest most incredible bartender!! He was the most positive part of our experience offering us a taster of a sherbet mocktail alongside our cocktail and cobra!! (You know who you are!!!) he recommended a place called cocktail club so please find out and reward him xx When we were sat we ordered with a lovely lady (blonde) again service wise, amazing!! Unfortunately after waiting a while for our food it came, and we were quite disappointed with the taste of the food. I feel so sorry for the kitchen that have to follow the recipe provided by the chain, as I’m sure the chefs could make better themselves! Therefore this poor review is not a reflection on ANY OF THE STAFF, but the franchise and brand MOWGLI itself. We are young and therefore so hesitant to complain, yet when the lovely blonde lady came to check on us, we showed a small amount of dissatisfaction in an awkward and unfortunate interaction, to which she asked her manager to comp the whole dish (£16!). She also offered us a dessert but unfortunately we decided we had to be on our way. Thank-you SO MUCH to all the staff who are NOT a reflection of MOWGLI’s poor poor food and catfish online!! I can now presume the promotional social media I’ve seen is entirely false and PAID PROMO… Thank-you so much to all the staff today, and I’m sorry that this business’ poor food is burdened onto you.

I've been to Mowgli a few times now and it's always really nice. This time we visited on a Wednesday so it was considerably more quiet than on the weekends and the atmosphere was much nicer, it didn't feel quite as crammed! We went for the Platter for 2 which is plenty of food and it includes ice cream/sorbet. We had 2 chicken and one paneer dish, the Ginger Chicken being both of our faves. The chat bombs were also a big hit, they're the perfect palate cleanser between curries. We also tried a couple cocktails, a very well made Espresso Martini and the Chili Mango Margarita which ended up being the spiciest thing on the table! It's a bit disappointing that all the curries seemed to be very mild, we were expecting at least a bit of heat but can't complain too much as it is completely up to the chef which curries you get. Service was excellent right up until the end where we got the bill and I said I'm happy to pay straight away but the server decided to give us "5 minutes" so after 20 minutes we just got up and paid at the bar.

I am visiting from Liverpool and found this place by chance for a pre-theatre dinner. I'm now very sad it is 200 miles away from where I live because the cooking is just lovely! I had their rabbit stifado special (£19.50) and it was one of those dishes which, even as a keen cook, makes you want to hang up your pots and pans because you know you'll never be able make something that delicious. It even had kidneys and livers, and whole juniper berries. My mother-in-law had moussaka; the white sauce was velvety and creamy flavoured with lovely levels of spice. My partner had chicken spits; the chicken was tasty, with a beautiful char, and the pitta was soft, moist, and clearly homemade. The aubergine salad starter was also beautiful. Simple, fresh, tasty, and so much more than the sum of it's parts. Tiny wine list (one of each colour) but we had a bottle of white (£23) and it was delicious and all you would ever need. Service was warm and friendly, and as we didn't have time for desert, they gave us a quick free dish of dough balls, honey, and cinnamons to share quickly, which was delightful. I hope to get back there before I leave on Monday to try their beef stifado with greek pasta. If you are in the area and what something genuinely proper to eat, you would mad to miss this place.

Booked for a group of 12 and we all had an amazing time. The staff are so friendly and the food is amazing! You should book in advance for big groups and have to fill out a preorder form. The staff even gave us complimentary honey dough balls! Highly recommend coming here. Someone had nut allergies and they were very accommodating

What a gem of a place. We visited for the first time yesterday as we love Greek food and we will definitely return. The welcome ,the wine , the food is all spot on. 10/10 from us

I’ve been a long-time customer of The Hellenic Eatery, and while I still enjoy visiting, I’ve noticed some changes on my recent visits that weren’t necessarily for the better. On one occasion, the restaurant was playing non-Greek music, which took away from the authentic atmosphere. Part of the charm used to be the cultural touches — like the TV showcasing Greek places and traditions — which really reinforced the experience of “being in Greece” while dining. Unfortunately, those elements seem to be missing now. Service-wise, the staff appeared to be short-handed. Both times I visited recently, the restaurant was busy, and we experienced long waits for starters and mains. Even after asking for the bill, it took around 10 minutes for someone to bring over the card machine. In terms of food, I did notice some differences in preparation. For example, the htapodi with hummus and the tirokafteri had a lot of oil added on top. The oil sat heavily on the dishes and overpowered their flavors, which was a shame as the ingredients themselves are good quality. Also, the tables near the entrance can get uncomfortably cold at night when the door opens frequently. That being said, there are still positives. The staff remain very knowledgeable about the food, happily explaining how dishes are made and what ingredients they use. The overall atmosphere is still pleasant and welcoming — though it could be improved by bringing back some of the authentic Greek touches that made it so special before.

I’ve been a customer of Hellenic Eatery for a very long time and always enjoyed it, but the new owners are really making it into something special. The last two visits there have ended with complimentary doughnuts for the whole table (and a lovely digestif liquor for me as I’m coeliac). Speaking of, while they don’t label the menu items as gluten free, if you speak to them they will cook your food separately — I asked if their chips were rolled in flour, and while it appears that they usually are, the staff cooked a portion of chips for me in a separate pan. Lovely, friendly jokey staff and absolutely delicious Greek food. The change in ownership has only made it better!

Everything was amazing, starting with the traditional greek restaurant that makes you feel like you're in Greece as soon as you step in. The food was delicious with decent prices. The staff very friendly and they've surprised us with some cinnamon honey glazed doughnuts at the end. It was a great meal and came quite quickly as well. We'll definitely be back again.

Has just come under new ownership - they're incredible! They were incredibly attentive with allergies, navigated our large group with ease, and were constantly kind, warm, and welcoming! Every one of us left with a smile :)

Me and my missus went to the Bristol one and got served by Emma her service was great was very accommodating and friendly couldn’t ask for more tbh. Atmosphere was probably the thing that stood out the most it felt like some western in a desert. Pizza was decent and drink was great, and yea the people who worked here were full of character would def come back here. They really treat you good with the bottomless

the energy in coyote ugly cardiff is incredible- the staff know exactly how to get the crowd going and the atmosphere is electric the second you walk in. the dance routines absolutely make the night, it’s mesmerising to watch beautiful woman dance with the utmost confidence, brining the party and energy non stop all night!! an incredible selection of alcohol, soft drinks and food. they even have amazing packages available such as bottomless brunch, VIP table drink packages for such amazing prices. such great service from all staff behind the bar and they even offer table service, they have waitresses that are more than happy to take drink orders from your table👏🏻 i’m obsessed with the merchandise they offer too, kept my light up cowboy hat on all night! definitely the most entertaining night out in cardiff, the best place to be! cannot wait to be back, yeeeehaw 🤠

Staff were lovely and genuine, spoke to two members of staff outside and they were lovely and welcoming as were all the other staff working on the bar which made me feel comfortable. However several male guests ruined this experience, by touching me and the group of girls I was with, one even persistently approaching me after I’d told him to go away. Due to a lack of security in the bar area and there only seeming to be security on the doors, there was no way around this issue, I also witnessed him approach other groups of girls and do the same to them.

this place sucked. incredibly loud, terrible music, overpriced, and awful. the vodka coke tasted suspicious, the vodka lemonades came with a single, 80% already melted, ice cube. the bar staff looked sad and dead inside, and the dancers were just in your face when you're trying to order drinks. queued for far too long and paid more than double what everybody else expected to enter in (expectations from previous visits mind), and then paid almost £10 per double vodka lemonade. outrageously expensive, even pulse is cheaper. there were people straight up selling you overpriced stuff in the bathrooms, and the place seemed to be incredibly densely populated yet nobody was dancing. the vibes were bland and we quickly left to go elsewhere. also, why on earth is there a huge tv showing the dance floor? I don't want to turn around and see the back of all my friends heads on a cinema size screen. they were also showing the f1 qualifying highlights on tv screens all around the dance floor. the music was insanely loud, we had to scream into eachothers ears just to still not hear eachother. what a fever dream, or should i say fever nightmare. never going to one of these again. first and last time, thanks. at least we didn't get body slammed, beaten to death, or sexual assaulted by the bouncers.

I LOVE coyote ugly, the music is always amazing, on theme and successful in keeping the atmosphere lit. All the bartenders, barbacks & security are welcoming and match the vibe of the venue. Not to mention the added plus of being allowed to bust down ontop of the bar, it really is like no other

Always an amazing experience! Even better than the movie!! The coyotes on and behind the bar were absolutely slaying and had an electric energy about them that made the night all the more enjoyable!!

This place is so gas, the big leagues are calling when you enter this place! The staff are funny. If you want to feel hell yeah and free come here. IM TELLING YOU ITS A 67/10

Googled a nice sandwich place and this came up as well reviewed. I persuaded my whole team to come with me and we weren't disappointed. Huge stacked roll with tonnes of filling, really fresh, really tasty.

Wow, what a gem! We stopped by for Saturday lunch, even though it was quite busy the service was quick. The Bagels were amazing and the cheesy fries were to die for! Definitely going back next time I'm in Cardiff.

Absolutely delicious. Probably now my favourite lunch spot in Cardiff. Super friendly staff who clearly take a massive amount of pride in the food they serve. Portions are also massive. Had the New York hoggie and stole a few of my friend's fries. Both absolutely amazing.

Huge menu with an Amazing choice of vegetarian and vegan food . I ordered a vegan hotdog with cheese and fries and the hot dog was HUGE and so tasty and the chips were amazing .. my boyfriend ordered a mixed meat open sandwich thing.. can't remember it's name and that was also huge and he said was lovely .. left there very full . The guy who served us was really chatty and friendly and very helpful. Definitely be going back

Bacon egg and cheese bagel. Peak fr, honestly yea when I had my first bite, I nearly bus, it is so flipping good. If u wonder should u go have a try, don’t wonder dumbas, just go. And if u don’t like it, something is wrong with you🤙🏻🤙🏻

SUPERB!!! Delightful hoagies. Full of flavour and they're HUGE (skip breakfast if you're coming here for lunch!). Staff are friendly and prices are reasonable considering the portion sizes. 10/10 recommend.

We have been to New York Deli many times over the years for their vegan range and have never been disappointed. Everything is very decently priced, huge sandwiches filled to the brim with delicious, fresh ingredients. Would definitely recommend and look forward to going back :)

Lovely meal but my fault I thought I booked the Valentines taster menu but I didn't it was the lunch menu.Food was lovely though and would return.

Absolutely first class in every category. Attention to detail is superb.... You will notice they look after every single thing. A professional fine dining experience at a fraction of the cost of some establishments.

Great quality food at such a reasonable price, we had a lovely visit to the Classroom in Cardiff. The wine list is extensive and the cocktails we had were great. The added bonus of far reaching views over Cardiff made for a lovely lunchtime. Thanks to all!

A truly fantastic venue showcasing excellence in fine dining in all aspects. The food was cooked to perfection with astonishing precision, each flavour and texture perfectly balanced with great skill. Service was friendly, attentive, and helpful, which added to the excellent evening spent here. With fantastic drinks on offer, and a broad panoramic view from the windows this is a.must visit venu! With the reductions in price due to the staff being in the process of being trained as part of their qualifications, this is fine dining at a more affordable level than most! Would strongly recommend.

Located in the Cardiff and vale college on the 5th floor. Modern interior, airy. Nice views and sunset for dinner. Service by Eastern European waitress both robotic and curt. Food selection limited. Portion massive: all courses. Tuna tartar was good but on the tasteless side- Under salted. The lamb was excellent- Came pink and would like it to be. Good accompaniment. Stick toffee massive portions and too much to finish- good dish. Variable cocktails- negroni. The apple martini was undrinkable. Good value for money for the size of the portions. Good option for dinner. Service could be a bit more Friendly, less judgmental and less Robotic.

This students-operated restaurant offers excellent food and drinks, with professional service. You can enjoy a view of Cardiff City FC stadium and surroundings while you dine.

Really delicious food. We had the traditional Christmas Roast which was extremely good. Service is good with friendly professional staff. I'd definitely go back next time in Cardiff and definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely food, staff were excellent & courteous and worked with smile on their faces - pub was clean and service was very swift & prompt + good quality drinks on offer - deals on food and drink clearly visible

Very much like a Wetherspoons, with happy hour 5-8. Food ok and not overpriced .Not a great selection though

Great food and drink for a good price. I have only been to 3 pubs in the UK but this one is the best. Thanks Rob 11/10 谢谢

I recently visited this bar for the first time and had a wonderful experience. The highlight for me was the little garden. It was very peaceful to sit next to a tree and enjoy my drink in such a serene setting. I enjoyed the quality of the wine too! I'll definitely be coming back!

Allows dogs, great, but very little gluten free foods on menu for the little humans. Service was excellent. Friendly staff, had a view of the Wheel on the bay water front Only reason a lower rate, nothing gluten free

What a cracking visit! Rob was an absolute legend – his witty banter had us laughing from the moment we walked in. Friendly, sharp, and full of charm, he brings real character to the place. The pints were top-tier – perfectly poured and ice-cold. You can tell they care about quality here. And the food? Absolutely fantastic – piping hot, full of flavour, and hit the spot perfectly. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and a real credit to Rob for making it such a memorable experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Found this gem when visiting Cardiff absolutely amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. Had the mixed grill and it's the best I have had. Prices fantastic and location perfect.

You can find a variety of stalls there: foods, books, bags, souvenirs, fish… I tried Welsh cakes from a stall run by very sweet ladies. They were delicious! Also, I realized I forgot to bring my lock, and I found one there and bought it. Imagine how diverse the market is. 😅

Thank Goodness for the Cardiff Markets and the welsh cakes stand The vest weksh cakes ever! We tried 5 between 3 of us and went back for a 10 pack to take home which lasted for 3 days morning or aft. Tea. YUM!9

Love the great food options here and the decent attempt at gentrifying a very cool old building & market. It sadly is still rather filthy and is still a little short of the mark compared to some other (foodie) markets around Europe. That being said, I’d come back thanks to the delicious food (kudos to the Neapolitan pizza, Greek gyros and Welshcakes). If they cleaned this place up a bit it’d be 5-star level.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Cardiff Cardiff Market is a vibrant, historic gem that offers a real taste of local life. From the moment you step inside, you’re met with the buzz of traders, the aroma of freshly cooked food, and a genuine sense of community. Whether you’re after traditional Welsh cakes, vintage clothing, handmade crafts, or fresh produce, there’s something here for everyone. It’s a fantastic place to grab lunch—don’t miss the roast pork rolls, the fresh fish & chips, or the classic Clark’s pies. The vendors are friendly, full of character, and clearly passionate about what they do. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The market building itself is beautiful, with its Victorian architecture and glass roof letting in lots of natural light. It’s not just a place to shop, but a place to experience Cardiff’s culture, history, and everyday charm. A must-visit for anyone wanting to see the real Cardiff beyond the tourist trail!

An absolute gem in the heart of the city! Cardiff Market is the perfect blend of historic charm and modern energy. The Victorian architecture gives it so much character, and the atmosphere is always buzzing without feeling overwhelming. There’s a fantastic mix of food stalls offering everything from Welsh cakes and fresh seafood to bao buns, pierogi, and loaded gnocchi — something for every craving. I had one of the best casual meals of my trip here. Beyond food, there are also stalls selling local produce, flowers, books, and quirky vintage finds. It’s spacious, welcoming, and full of personality. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Cardiff Market is a must-see spot that captures the spirit of the city.

Not somewhere I'd thought to checkout before, despite going into Cardiff on shopping trips several times before. Great indoor market, the usual random sorts of things you might expect to find. However we were very impressed in the number and variety of street food stalls on offer.

What a pleasure to behold, all the market stalls: fruit and vegetable stands, fish markets, sweets, nuts, restaurants... In short, a town shouldn't exist without a central market.

First time visiting this place for late breakfast as we wanted to try Welsh dishes. We didn’t book a table but they were very accommodating and found us a table for two. I ordered bacon, cockles and laverbread on toast and it was very good. I will definitely return and would recommend to try.

Serious scran. The real deal. Ordered the Milkwood breakfast and each piece of food on the plate was banging. The standout for me were the hash browns, which were the crispiest I've ever experienced. I exited here with a full stomach and left behind a clean plate, knowing that one day I'd be back.

I may have finally found my Cardiff brunch spot. Milkwood in Pontcanna absolutely nails it. Big bright space with loads of natural light, retro gold signage and a buzzing, friendly atmosphere. Walk-ins only, but we got seated straight away even with the weekend crowd. There is seating inside, cosy corners at the back and plenty of space outside if the Welsh sun decides to show up. The Milkwood Breakfast is no joke. Sausage, bacon, poached eggs, toast, crispy hash browns, roasted tomato and buttery mushrooms, plus I added extra halloumi and garlic mushrooms. It nearly defeated me, but totally worth it. Big hearty portions, everything cooked properly and the ingredients actually taste fresh. The menu’s stacked with tempting options and there are plenty of veggie and vegan friendly choices too. I kept seeing the buttermilk chicken pancakes landing on other tables so they’re firmly on my list for next time. The drinks? Game-changing. Best iced latte I’ve had since landing in Cardiff. Smooth, balanced and exactly what my caffeine-deprived self needed to rejoin society. Their iced tea also knocked it out of the park. Super refreshing, fragrant and ideal after a good stomp through Pontcanna’s parks. Staff were lovely, efficient, and made the whole experience feel easy. Bonus points for being easy on the eye too, just an observation. Between the cracking food, chilled community vibe and proper coffee, Milkwood’s officially my new go-to.

Delicious food and great service. They were able to accommodate our party of 7 adults and a child very quickly on a Sunday morning. Brilliant food and a variety of options; coffee was great!

Been here several times. We always love the food and service is consistently brilliant, however today in particular was really busy, but Lille was attentive, kind and was still smiling and chatty despite the rush. Food and drinks came quickly and we didn't feel rushed at all. Overall Lille made sure we had not just a lovely breakfast but a thoroughly enjoyable experience today. Thank you! <3 P.S best mochas in Cardiff. X

I was recommended this venue by an owner of another cafe. My expectations were exceeded. Must come back here for obligatory waffles.

We had a delicious birthday breakfast here. Each breakfast choice was incredible, but we missed the Specials board, so we'll have to go again soon.

I have been here for Sunday dinner a few times now and again today I had a super lovely roast dinner here. The two ladies that were taking care of our order were super helpful and lovely to talk to. Very welcoming. The food was delicious and there’s so much of it which is really great value for money! Everything came out quickly and will 100% be coming back again soon!

Great Sunday lunch at this pub. I had the gluten-free option which was amongst the best Sunday lunches I had. Large portion sizes and quality ingredients for the meats and vegetables. Excellent value and the service was first rate.

Went for Sunday lunch. WHICH WAS AMAZING!! Staff couldn't have been nicer, food was fantastic, they even did a Sunday lunch for our two dogs, without being asked. Fantastic pub. I wont go anywhere else next time we're in Cardiff. Loved it. Thank you North Star!!

Fantastic food and drinks all at affordable prices. I can't recommend the North Star enough! On occasion there's a live band performing when we go which is lovely though you can check in advance if this isn't your cup of tea. If it isn't a live band it could be a different form of entertainment such as a Pub Quiz etc. You'll never forget their Sunday lunches, they're absolutely fantastic and are great value for money. I cannot recommend the Chicken dinner enough! The overall good menu is brilliant, a lot of options and all reasonably priced! The North Star is also dog friendly with a doggy option on the food menu! Overall I cannot fault this pub! It is one of my favorites.

We went here on Sunday after the Cardiff 10k. The roast dinner was simply delicious! I’d say it was one of the best roasts dinners I’ve had locally. The beef was cooked to perfection. The service was brilliant too considering they were really busy that day. Great value! Can’t wait to return!

Lovely pub. Big inside! Table tennis table is a huge bonus. Nice selection of drinks, had a Welsh rhubarb cider, or at least I think it was rhubarb, and a good Tiny Rebel beer.

Great venue Live music fantastic food and drinks are extremely reasonable. Bar staff very polite. Some great features like pool darts, ping pong table outside. Great Pub🍺

Our expectations were a bit too high. We had read excellent reviews and the menu looked phenomenal. Daffodil offers a solid experience with a nice menu offering. It’s an elevated pub, really.

Hiya, thanks for the delicious food and warm attitude! We did feel welcomed by your wonderful service! We had a great memory in this bar, if there were an option for 6 stars of the service I would definitely press that. I feel the tip is truly worthy and the price of the food is pretty fare if you are looking for a fine dining!

This was our first visit to Daffodil and we were very impressed. The place is decorated beautifully and has a lovely atmosphere. We had the Sunday lunch and the food was delicious. The staff were lovely and very helpful answering any questions we had about the food and drink. We will definitely be back! 😊

Had a really great roast here, I got the lamb and it was fantastic, lots of flavour and perfectly cooked. They don't skimp on the meat and with bottomless gravy you really can't go wrong. Came with some delicious veg as well and there was so much we couldn't quite finish it. I tried the pork as well which was excellent, and my friend really enjoyed the beef.

Lovely atmosphere here. And the food....we had Sunday roast. The meat was so succulent and the accompaniments were divine. Thoroughly recommend. Not the cheapest but worth every penny

Lovely restaurant, great food, and our waitress was lovely, a credit to the restaurant. The food was so good, cocktails were 2 for £11.95 from 3pm We reserved a table, but people could just walk in

My first taste of Wales food in this gastropub and I love every minute of it. The Welsh lamb cawl and the baked sea bream were yummy yummy with friendly and helpful staff of excellent service plus lovely ambience especially in the conservatory. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try Welsh food.

Below mediocre; we’re unsure as to how it has maintained such a high rating. Would avoid. The countertop was sticky and the service was somewhat slow despite the relative lack of customers (it was late in the evening). The pacing of dishes was good. The chicken karaage was the highlight of the meal, and perhaps the only recommendable dish. The chicken was juicy, crispy, tender — everything you’d expect — and paired nicely with the curry mayo sauce. The mini chashu don was underwhelming for £6. The rice was barely seasoned and the grains didn’t stick to each other, unlike traditional Japanese rice. The chashu itself had a nice smoky flavor but it wasn’t particularly seasoned either, meaning the overall dish was bland. The iekei-inspired ramen was average. Although the broth was too salty, it still had the depth expected of pork bone broth, and the chashu was tender (albeit very thinly sliced). Unfortunately, the shoyu ramen had no redeeming factors. The noodles were slightly undercooked, nearly crunchy, and the broth was exceptionally salty yet somehow simultaneously flavorless. Both dishes were lukewarm when they arrived, likely because they had been waiting for a while on the countertop before a member of staff finally delivered them to the table. We couldn’t finish either bowl. Nothing is more heartbreaking than spending a decent amount of money on disappointing food and service, and this place is expensive. To add insult to injury, one member of staff held out the tip machine, turning it so that he could also see our choice, and watched judgmentally as we pressed No Tip (having been put off by the entire dining experience and the additional 20% VAT). Do look elsewhere if you’re searching for a satisfying meal.

I’ve been craving a good ramen for a while now but couldn’t find a proper Japanese ramen spot in Cardiff. Saw a lot of recommendations of this place on TikTok, and i’ve been wanting to visit this place for months. Finally made it today as i finished work early and decided to stop by for dinner. Not sure if it was because its Halloween and they had limited menu, but luckily the Tonkotsu ramen was still available- exactly what I was craving. For the starter, I ordered the yuzu-cured gurnard, not really knowing what to it is. It came out sashimi-style and honestly? It was so good — delicate, fresh, and perfectly balanced with the citrus flavour. Then came the Sunset Tokotsu Ramen — and wow. The broth was rich, packed with umami, and not bland at all. The noodles were cooked perfectly — nice and chewy, not soggy, which I really appreciate since they tend to soften quickly in hot broth. There was only one dessert on the menu, the matcha crème brûlée, and at first I thought of skipping it to get dessert elsewhere. But i’m so glad I stayed — it had a deep, authentic matcha flavour, not too sweet, and a beautiful finish to the meal. The total came to about £36, which honestly made sense considering I had a full meal - starter, main, and dessert. For the quality, and flavour, I left the restaurant satisfied. Overall, everything was excellent — the food, the service, and the pace. I went alone without a booking, was seated quickly, and my food came out fast and hot. Had the perfect dinner — comforting, flavourful, and exactly what I needed. Definitely coming back again 😋🍜

I lived in Japan for 2 years and visited so many ramen restaurant but I never seen this short ramen noodle. I asked the manager that the noodle size is ok or not. He said it is standard but the other staff member told me it is not. The manager was super rude and ramen was horrible. I can say this ramen is not authentic, specially you cannot find this kind of noodle in Japan.

We were recommended this place and we’re definitely not disappointed - delicious food and friendly service. Also lots of great veggie and vegan options - the chef was even so kind as to tweak one of the dishes to make it vegan friendly. Highly rate!

The ramen is really good. The noodles are high quality with a great bite to them. I opted for chicken topping which was absolutely fantastic and melts in your mouth. The broth was really amazing too although for me a little unconventional. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Cardiff. Their karaage and gyozas were top notch too.

Their ‘iekei inspired’ Yokohama style ramen was pretty solid all round. Noodles, broth, toppings and all were pretty on point. I also ordered a second bolw, a regular shoyu ramen and that was a letdown. The noodles were tremendous broken to the point you could just spoon them from the broth. I’ve voiced comments about the noodles to one of the waiters who so kindly checked with the chef. The reason given was they over stirred the noodles. This is akin to having chopped up spaghetti which is a cardinal sin in Italian cooking. Check out the pics. Overall, I’ll definitely be back for more but I’ll stick with their iekei ramen.

Although I've had ramen many times this was an enjoyable experience Matsudai style! Things were unusual & new to us, so we appreciated the waiters help. We were seated in a dark area due to another customer having an issue with bright light & after requesting a candle things seemed a bit less gloomy. From the layout / wooden chairs & benches/ vibey music / open kitchen & noise from customers this isn't a quiet place!! The food was yummy, not cheap but tasty. It's not quite in town and we had a 30minute walk across the city to it & the area has many multi cultural shops & restaurants. If you're in the mood for Ramen & don't want a restaurant chain...then try this!

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

My Malaysian friend gave his birthday treat here, and OMG, I loved the food! The food was great—authentic, delicious, and with sizeable portions full of flavor. They have a diverse menu with so much to try. The place is very clean and tidy, and the atmosphere is good, making it a great dining experience. The staff are very friendly and provide good service. For the quality of the food, the price is on the higher side, but it is worth it. I would advise booking a table in advance. Highly recommend this place!

It is one of my favourite restaurants in Cardiff. Great food doesn’t always have to be fancy. Every time I come here, the dishes remind me of my late mother's cooking. Tonight, we had Assam Seabass, Salt & Pepper King Prawns, and Roti Canai. All of them were delicious. I’ve also tried many other dishes, like Nasi Lemak, Salted Egg King Prawns, Seafood Hor Fun with Egg Gravy, Mee Goreng, Salted Egg Squid, Kam Heong Prawns, Japanese Tofu with Seafood, Salted Fish with Pork Belly, and San Bao Rice. I always leave with a happy tummy.

A happy visit at Happy Lok Diner! Was a last minute decision to visit this restaurant for some Malaysian food, was able to walk in and get a seat right away. Service was very good and the menu was diverse. We didn’t have any trouble ordering dishes as the menu was clear with photos of popular dishes too. Food was very good quality and authentic. Overall a very good experience and will definitely visit again.

Can't believe it's taken me so long to eat here, incredible Malaysian food. The Roti Canai were a perfect starters before we filled our table with mains. Salted egg King Prawns, Fried Hor Fun with Beef, Kam Heong Chicken, Claypot Aubergine were all stand out dishes. Claypot Pork belly, butter chicken and half duck also delicious. Excellent Jamsine tea with a free refill too. Can't wait to return to work my way through the rest of the menu

The food is really tasty! I went there with Malaysian friends as they were recommending it. We ordered the meal for “4 or 5 hungry friends” and it was extremely delicious! The atmosphere is cozy and the staff are always keen to help you if you need. Just make sure to book beforehand, especially if you’re going to have a dinner there.

My first proper Malaysian - Chinese try. I was happy with the dishes I choose. Very clean and tidy ambiance. Well kept. The food was fresh, hot and tasty. Good portion and worth the price. I would come back again.

The Malaysian food is very authentic as is the Chinese food. The portions were very generous and the crispy pork cooked to perfection. We will deffo return! Anyone looking for a good taste of the Orient look no further than here!

Sensational experience! Food was exceptional, seasonal, varied, simple in presentation but complex yet well balanced in flavour. So many stand out dishes, but for me the scallop was the best I’ve ever eaten and my first taste of mutton was very delicious! Service was very friendly but attentive without being intrusive. The staff expertly talked us through our wine pairings with interest and passion. We had a wonderful evening at Gorse and highly recommend it!

A jewel of a restaurant well deserving it's Michelin star. Every detail is thought through with fastidious attention to detail. The food is innovative, and delicious. We had the four course set lunch which started with a seaweed broth that was light and fragrant and set the tone for the courses to follow. We can't wait to return to enjoy the more extensive tasting menu.

An amazing culinary experience. So many fantastic Welsh flavours. Highly recommend the paired wines. Excellent service from the staff and great to be able to see the chefs working their magic. Every single dish was delicious.

Just a phenomenal experience. Yes, you are paying a premium over other good quality places in Cardiff, but other than that this is worthy of it's Michelin star, with a variety of local, original dishes (we had the 7 course tasting menu), friendly excellent and knowledgeable service and staff, a lovely venue and just tasty tasty food! Look forward to our next visit!

Having first visited during their pop-up at Ground Bakery, I was so happy to see Gorse receive a Michelin star in the first year of opening. We opted for the 10 course taster menu and were not disappointed. There was a lovely flow of flavours through the menu and some lovely treats such as Welsh lobster, monkfish and Salt Marsh lamb. Service is relaxed and friendly but also knowledgeable and helpful. This is a great addition for Cardiff, and does Pontcanna proud. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience. We had a ten course dinner and everything just perfect. Specially love the main, cod, welsh lamb and lobster. Definitely come back next time. Thank you Tom!

Had an amazing time!! Food is incredible and the most unique menu I’ve ever had. Staff are brilliant. We were served by Maisie who was excellent but the whole team looked after us. A lovely relaxed and down to earth atmosphere with a cracking playlist! Great alcohol free options too.

This is a really great place to go if you want to skate. The prices are fantastic and the facilities are great for skaters of all levels. It's even expanded since my last visit which is great to see. The food is also very good. Particularly the burgers. Would definitely recommend!

The food and drink at the cafe is brilliant and the space has one of the best unknown beer gardens in Cardiff. There are lots of events for all ages and it's a brilliant place for families too.

Visited for the kids session on a Sunday morning. Perfect for balance bikes and scooters. Lovely relaxed session with food and drinks available too. Our little boy loved it on his balance bike.

We were able to take our boys on their small bikes on a selected time on a Sunday. The boys did enjoy it but for myself I don't think it suited bikes at all even though they let them. Very skateboard on scooter orientated. That's fine though as it's a great place for that Love the character of the place, very rustic looking. Quite quirky. Staff were nice Plenty of parking Coffee was very good and strong.

Went to tonight's beginner's session for the first time and the staff were truly so lovely. I was so nervous and struggled to just get on the board, but the guy working helped me to get started - he literally spent 20 minutes holding my hand to help me get used to getting on and off the board. Even as a wobbly 30-something-year-old with terrible coordination, I felt so welcome and I had such a wonderful time. I can't wait to go back.

Fab as always. Here for a birthday party, kids had a fab time, and I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food!

So much fun at the adult beginner skate class, such supportive and welcoming staff and community. I look forward to attending again very soon, great atmosphere for all and an amazing selection of food and drinks also

We've been here many times and it delivers the same amazing results every time. Food is always hot and fresh and rammed to the gills with flavour! The beef roti and waterfall salad are always a high contending choice for me and the flavours work so amazing together. Keep up the awesome work guys 👌🏼

We were greeted by one of the chefs and definitely a credit to the restaurant. The food was amazing, we had never tried Thai food before and this was one of our favourite places that we visited in Cardiff. We need more brother Thai restaurants around the country. It was so good 👍 Even though parking was difficult to find for longer than an hour, we definitely recommend 👌

Delicious, authentic Thai food. They were quite busy (Sunday lunchtime) and couldn’t seat me right away but they called me back about 20 min later when a walk-in table become available. And I’m so glad they did because I enjoyed the meal and friendly service.

If you’re looking for an authentic dining experience with food that speaks for itself, Brother Thai is a must-visit. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again. The atmosphere was relaxed yet full of life, with the gentle buzz of happy diners adding to the charm.

It was fine I guess. Definitely not bad but I don’t understand all the hype around it. Had the sticky beef roti. Packed with flavor but the beef was chewy to the point my jaw hurt. The cucumber salad on top was refreshing and the perfect addition to the rich beef. But the paratha/roti was frozen. For a restaurant who serves this as their signature dish, you would expect it to be made in house. We also had the red curry with rice and that wasn’t as nice, it fell flat. Incredibly oily due to the coconut sauce splitting and it just ended up causing this unpleasant texture.

Food was tasty but I do feel it’s slightly over hyped. I had the beef roti and wontons. The beef was a tiny bit on the chewy side and quite greasy but flavours were good overall.

My favourite restaurant in Cardiff! I’ve been multiple times and I love it more every time. The Satay chicken rice bowl is incredible, the chicken is so juicy and full of flavour. Staff are great and the general atmosphere is nice too. Little garden out the back in the summer. And it’s SO affordable!

Went for a family meal on Boxing day. 5 of us and ordered a family platter, some steaks and a mandi along with a few cocktails and desserts. All the food was lukewarm and not piping hot as we expected. The steaks were cooked well but again cold. Didn’t really complain until we found a piece of blue roll in our food. This was brushed aside and even laughed at by the manager. Absolute joke that they thought this was funny. The only positive was the young waitress that served us.

I recently visited Deli Fuego, and I had a great experience! The Mediterranean food was delicious, and I particularly enjoyed the falafel and hummus, which were packed with flavor. The haloumi and pizza were also fantastic. The service was welcoming and friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The lunch menu offers excellent value, with a two-course meal costing under £10, which is a great deal. The only downside was the creamy pasta—it was a bit watery, but everything else was great. Another highlight was the variety of cakes on offer, which were absolutely mesmerizing. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!

The restaurant offered an exceptional dining experience with delicious food, attentive service, and a welcoming ambiance. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor also huge credit for Sabae and Oussama for the amazing customer service. Make sure to visit this place if your ever in Cardiff.

I had such a fantastic experience at Deli Fuego! The menu is packed with choice, from Mediterranean grills and wood-fired pizzas to fresh pasta and seafood, and everything we tried was full of flavour. The portions were generous and excellent value for money - you definitely won't leave hungry! The staff were warm, welcoming, and really attentive, which made the whole atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. And the best one was sabae The highlight for me had to be the desserts - the cakes and sundaes are absolutely incredible, beautifully presented, and taste just as good as they look. Overall, it's the perfect spot for a meal with friends or family. Great food, great service, and a really inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be coming back!

Had a great meal with my family. The staff were lovely and our waitress Saba was amazing, very helpful. The menu had a lot of choice. The food came very quickly, we chose different dishes and we were all very pleased with them. Although the chicken for the butterfly chicken was a little dry. Good portion sizes as well. I would recommend going, and we will definitely be going again!

We were visiting Cardiff from Birmingham and walked into Deli Fuego by chance. At first, we were about to leave because they didn’t have the chicken steak or chicken mandi we wanted. Then we met Sabaa, and she completely changed our minds. She was so friendly, professional, and confident in her recommendations that we decided to go with Platter 2 and it turned out to be a great choice! The food was delicious, and to top it off, they also served complimentary kahwa and little dessert bites, which was such a nice touch. Sabaa’s outstanding service and warm personality made the whole experience memorable. She really deserves a raise!! Highly recommended 👌

We order our birthday cakes from Deli Fugo. Lovely food and cakes, very cosy seating and very friendly staff. The last time we went, a young lady helped us with the writing on the cake and did an impeccable job, at no extra cost. She served us too and was lovely and professional. Strongly recommended!

What a fabulous place. Really warm welcome, great vibe. The food was lush, great burgers and sides. The fries were particularly amazing! Such friendly staff. And they serve brilliant Welsh wine; what's not to love?

Food is GREAT quality, however the flavours promised on the menu (for example pb&j) don't come through unfortunately. Chips and wings delicious, beef top notch but just that touch of room for improvement flavour wise. Service was great, not sure about the cheeky £3.94 service charge though 🤭 I would recommend the place to others 👍🏼

Popped in during the week, really quiet so good timing as they had just open. I went here many years ago, and it's still lovely we say in the garden. Friendly staff member. Place was really clean and food just delicious. Will keep this venue in mind for future burger fixes I need

You got a beef with me? If yes let’s sort it out here! Haha Got Beef is a wonderful burger restaurant. Great burgers really. Too many options on the menu to choose from and I decided to go for the steak one which was tender and juicy! My friend had a veggie burger which was yum! The halloumi fries were spot on. I only wished they served milkshakes too which would have been an icing on the cake!

Ordered: - hangover burger - skin on fries - got the ‘Welsh black burger’ free through Uber Eats Hangover burger: the bacon was really nice and crispy and the order was hot and a good portion size. Bun could be toasted or toasted more to stop it going soggy, although understand can be hard to do take out burgers and keep them fully hot/not soggy. Would be nice to have the option of more fillings. i.e pickles, tomatoe, ketchup, mustard ect. Well seasoned however, the quality of the patty itself tasted pretty low (biggest complaint). Skin on fries - very well seasoned, very crispy and arrived hot. Slightly bigger portion size for the price I think would be appropriate. Welsh black burger - again similar. Well seasoned, arrived hot and was a good portion size. However, more options for fillings (on Uber eats at least), soggy bun and poor patty quality. Overall enjoyable meal and was a very good deal but definitely room to improve Thank you.

Have visited many times and plan to keep visiting many more. Food is always top quality and amazing. New items and specials popping up keeping it all fresh with a warm, friendly service which completes the experience. Unable recommend highly enough to anyone that loves amazing burgers.

Went with 12 work friends from Companies house great burgers and service. Photo doesn’t do it justice- double patty - and a bottle of beer. Job done

Absolutely fantastic. My partner and I are convinced Cafe Cita remains amongst the best if not the best Italian restaurants in Cardiff. It had been years since we last ate here, not since before the pandemic - and we were delighted that it remains as brilliant as before. We tried one of the day's specials - the Pasta Salmone, and it was delicious. Service is always super friendly and quick and It's got a brilliant cozy vibe. Remember to book a table, because it's always in demand! Definitely looking forward to coming back again and again!! Grazie mille Cafe Citta!

Stunning little Italian restaurant. Delicious customisable food cooked fresh in house with high quality and flavourful ingredients. The staff were friendly and accommodating and cleared a table so we could sit outside on the terrace in the sun. Great choice of wine. I haven't stopped thinking about the food since we visited 3 weeks ago, 5 stars is a no brainer, I'd give more stars if I could. Will 100% be back - highly recommended.

I popped here for lunch on Thursday. I was in the mood for an authentic Italian meal and knew I wanted pasta. On arrival they had one table left as I hadn’t booked which was by the door. It’s a bit of a mish mash of a seat there and kinda feels like it’s there to maximise the covers but either way I was by myself and had a seat. I saw numerous people turned away (politely) throughout my meal as they hadn’t booked. When I left the place was full both inside and out so I can only infer it has a good reputation locally. I ordered the tagliatelle carbonara and a coke. Coke came quickly and the carbonara in about 15 minutes which indicates it was probably made from scratch. The carbonara was decent. It was slightly heavy and I only just finished it but I did like the flavour. It had an abundance of pancetta. Normally places skimp on this as it’s the most expensive component but here there was tonnes. It was nice but in a weird way kinda threw me. Venue is small and contained but the service manages to weave in and out. I was shown the specials which on another day sounded delicious. It’s not cheap but it did feel like good value and liked the atmosphere. I would go again. And again the service stood out.

Compact inside when busy. If you can get over (/avoid) that or sit at the tables outside, 101% worth it. Very busy days? Book ahead or consider being flexible with timings. Still reading? After three friends recommended Cafe Citta, a mere two years later (edit: just read recent other reviews and saw another person who waited too long!), we went as a family for a celebration. Teenagers' tastes were covered with resultant smiles, (1x Normal) Adult's choice was wide as well 👍 Eager to return. (1x) Picky father's narrow criteria led to three strong choices . (Two were recommended beforehand.) Portion, taste and texture spot on. Looking forward to the next time. (Carbonara?)

Outstanding. Had not been to the city or this place for some years. The food was realy good. To start i had some olives, lovely garlic bread to share and a very tasty italian sausage dish. Great food. Friendly and helpful staff,coupled with a nice vibe in which to enjoy a meal with friends or on your own. I highly recommend a visit to Cafe Citta. Loved it so much we booked again before we left......

Tiny but cosy venue where booking in advance is recommended. Its traditional home cooked Italian food. We ordered bread & olives to start and were disappointed with cubes of toasted bread rather than fresh, however the olives were lovely. For our mains, we tried the gnocchi with spinach and gorgonzola and tagliatelle carbonara, all freshly cooked however, it took almost an hour from ordering to arrive. We were very close to the kitchen area and orders were getting muddled, and a change of staff didn't help! The food overall was nice, but don't go if you're in a rush, this is not the place to be hurried!

Such a wonderful family run restaurant. We enjoyed a delicious Italian meal here. The pasta and pizza were super tasty and its cute size/ decor made it a great experience. Staff were all really friendly.

Came for bottomless brunch. Absolutely amazing service by Jacob, took us to our table and got our drinks and food order straight away. Kept checking in to see if we needed anything else. Would definitely recommend Revs for bottomless brunch!!

We were bought this as a gift as we love an afternoon tea - and was pleasantly surprised - alternative afternoon tea and I would most definitely recommend it. Great atmosphere as a Sunday afternoon so not too busy and music at right volume. Staff could not be more accomodating. Big shout out to Lucy and Beth excellent hosts - thanks Guys.

Was a lovely experience we had the bottomless brunch, plenty of drinks, food was lush had chicken and pancakes. Thomas was amazing looked after us very well

Charlotte and Jamal both made for a lovely experience. friendly, polite and joys, real credits to the place. Afternoon Tea food and dessert were amazing. Fully recommend for an afternoon out.

Harrison was an absolute legend and really completed our group and made the service run super smooth. He arrived quicker than the first waiter, ordered perfectly, checked in with us and drinks always came perfectly. Incredible personality. We love you Harrison! From Team RAWR! The food was absolutely lush too! Thanks guys.

Excellent service from charlotte and jamal. Welcoming and informative. Afternoon tea and cocktails. Food was lovely and lots of choice of cocktails.

Went to Revolution cardiff this afternoon with a friend for some studying, thanks to Harrison, Thomas, Helder and Kyle for the amazing service. The pizza was so good, and so were the drinks. 10/10 place to study during the day time when wanting a change of scenery, such friendly and attentive staff.

I was very happy with the service, the staff are very friendly they check in every so often to makesure your happy. Me and my girlfriend both had the rump steak which was cooked perfectly along with a couple mocktails. I would say the drink's were larger than we expected which was a nice suprise, the peppercorn sauce i had was very rich and peppery but not too thick. My girlfriend had the mushroom sauce which was also very rich but had a more delicate flavour 10/10 would recommend (already have to a couple friends)

Being a solo traveller, the staff could not have been more welcoming. Flat iron steak cooked perfectly (great job to the kitchen team) and dealt with my food allergy with no fuss. I had been to their Bristol restaurant and I’m pleased to say that I was just as impressed with their staff and food. Worth going out of your way to visit them.

Been to this place twice now. Once on my birthday, food was amazing, and topped with complimentary bottle of wine. Went again today, it is my favourite steakhouse, the food is divine, and the service is also really great! Kudos to the chef and the staff. Thank you!

Lovely meal here for my fiance birthday. We went lunch time and there was not many people there so we could sit where we wanted (we chose the Darlek seat). The food was tasty, slightly over prices in my opinion. Service was also good. We would visit again on a special occasion.

Me and my partner had the best experience here. The service was brilliant from the start to the end. We had seen from the website that you could eat inside a dalek. Me and my partner are massive fans so we booked in advance to sit inside it. On arrival, we were greeted very warmly by a waiter he also served us for the rest of our experience. We even asked him to take our photo and he was more than happy to. The decor was beautiful ! I we couldn’t stop looking around. The food tasted absolutely amazing and was worth every penny. The photos don’t do it justice but we will definitely be back. ⭐️ 😊

Friendly staff who were attentive, thanks to the mention of the local food festival we went on Sunday and had a great day. Food arrived quickly, mash was a bit lumpy otherwise the rib and sauce was nice and my friend enjoyed her burger. Can’t recommend the cocktails we had, they weren’t very strong and very sharp, we left after finishing our meal to have more elsewhere. Great design to the restaurant, artistic and fun. Overall good lunch and experience and would return.

First of all the 2 Staff who looked after us all evening where amazing, thank you ladies. 3/11/2021 7pm. You literally made the night. The food was great. The Mrs loved her ribeye. Ive had more tender T-Bone elsewhere but it was of high quality. I think I'd try another steak next time. The sides where really good and I'd say the Mac and cheese could be a bit thicker in terms of cheese and sauce. The desserts were amazing I had the brownie. Thanks for letting us switch up the ice-cream as opposed to the menu offering. The decor was great and the staff were very knowledgeable including the lady who had only been in the job 2 weeks. Good for you two. It's nice to get a bit of back story and history on a restaurant. All in all a great night and good food. We will be back. It was a unique experience being so few people dining in the restaurant but we were able to explorer the whole place and interact better with the staff. Felt very VIP. THANK YOU. 👌

We moved to Cowbridge Road East a few weeks ego and I need to tell you it's our favourite pizza so far. We tried 2 other places first, but Calabrisella is way better if it comes to pizza choice. I have gluten intolerance, but I felt ok after (which I always do in Italy after pizza) so from time to time I will treat myself to their pizza for sure. Highly recommend.

We absolutely love this place for its delicious, authentic Italian food! It's popular for a reason, and you can taste the quality. Plus, the staff are so warm and attentive. They make you feel right at home!

The delivery was fast.The sauce and dough were very tasty, however there was a lack of toppings. I had paid extra for chicken and mozzarella and as you can see there was very little there. This was a shame as everything else was good the toppings that were there tasted great.

Cannot recommend this place more!! The food was delicious but the service was what made the experience so memorable. Every waiter was so lovely, helpful and attentive which makes such a difference! We had the burrata and Bolognese arancini which were both fab. The calzone was massive, had the perfect amount of filling and the dough was great too. The homemade pasta was the star. Definitely worth visiting asap!

Absolutely phenomenal food; every plate I saw looked fantastic too!

Really reasonably priced, fresh and tasty Italian food. Casual Cafe style setting. The arancini starter was delicious, the lasagne was fresh and a perfect size portion! The dessert was so fresh and light! The Staff were friendly and welcoming, really nice that they brought water to the table without us requesting it! Will definitely return 😊

I have been a regular customer of Calibrisella for over a year. The food is always good, and I love the fact that all pizzas have the option of being a calzone. I first tried cannelloni from Calibrisella. I have now managed to go to Sicily and try the local food directly (not just for review purposes). These guys have got it spot on. Eating the amazing food while on holiday and knowing I can still have it in Cardiff, makes me feel a special kind of privilege. Calibrisella is known in Cardiff for good Italian food, and with good reason.

We had the 3 course lunch for £21 - such incredible value for money! Honestly some of the best food we had in Cardiff! All three courses were delicious and beautifully flavoured, as well as generous portion sizes. Highly recommend - the staff are really lovely too!

Exceptional quality food with a small seasonal menu. Meat and fish dishes were beautifully cooked as were the vegetables. There was also a vegetarian choice. Desserts were delicious and the presentation and detail made this a a really special meal. Excellent wine list and great service. Will definitely return.

Hope they do well. Lunch time specials was good simple food, done very well. No pretentiousness to the food or price. Look forward to a breakfast / brunch visit. Best of luck to the owners.

Having read so many great reviews of Bullys I'm pleased to say it didn't disappoint. It has a really nice atmosphere, attentive and friendly service and delicious food. I had fish based courses, the husband meat based and it was all beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Good value for money for quality too. Would definitely go back next time I'm in Cardiff

The food 3.5. Service 5. The food at times was less flavorful than you’d expect from the appearance of the dish. For Cardiff, I’m not sure you’ll find better, but compared to a major city, I was underwhelmed with the food. The food also felt really heavy - I don’t usually feel heavy after French food. But I suppose this is a British French fusion. I’d probably return here if I was in the neighborhood, but I would be careful on what I’m ordering. (I didn’t like any of the appetizers and I tried all 4). The place itself is really cozy and unique!

Beautiful place for brunch. High quality food and attention to detail was amazing. Service was spot on with the friendly staff and waiting times. Will definitely be back.

A good experience, nice decor and set-up, once you're in you do forget that you're somewhere in Cardiff and it takes you in a small restaurant from France. The food was very good, ham hock starter with a beautiful scotch egg was very well put together with the pickled veggies, worked excelent. Nice pork belly and duck, good wine, loved the nutty ice-cream, had a side of fries which I think it was the only pre-made food out of them all an you could taste and see that, soaked in oil. Could do with some chairs a bit more comfortable. All in all a very nice place with excelent food and good atmosphere.

📍 Vivo Latino, Cardiff *Video review on socials @thefemalephysicist Last week we went to Vivo Latino on Cowbridge Road East to sample some of their latin deliciousness. Master Chef Ram and team are serving incredible fusion cocktails and Latin American delights. I liked the look of absolutely everything, so we went for tapas. First up was home made latin bread, complete with guacamole, sour cream and salsa. Swiftly followed by empanadas which got absolutely demolished. Loaded nachos were next, with plenty of BBQ beef, Tex Mex cheese and chilli seasoning. To round off mains we finished strong on Salvadorian chicken wings. Make sure you leave room for dessert, these are EPIC. The Mexican buñuelos, which are mini donuts with cinnamon sugar and chocolate sauce, are to die for. And of course we had to goo for churros smothered in chocolate. ✨DEALS✨ 🍸 BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH: £35 pp with a 2-set menu. 12-5pm (last booking 3pm) for the weekend. 12-9pm (last booking 7pm) for weekdays including Sunday.

Amazing service, food and experience. Amazing place to have a birthday party. We were fully at home even played our own music! #Kenya!

My partner and I went on a date night, we wanted to go for a while but never had the chance. The server was attentive and helped with food recommendations, she was very bubbly and a lovely lady! The food was absolutely amazing, we’re already planning our next date night there or with family and friends. Great cocktail options and offers available!! Thank you so much for a lovely evening!

Great place! Food was absolutely delicious and staff were so kind and accommodating. Will be back

Food was delicious,great customer service and great value for money. We would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Honestly best cocktails ever and the food is delicious xxx

Great little hidden gem! Lovely service and amazing food. Yummy cocktails too! Highly recommended!

The best place in Cardiff for a beer with a burger - and onion rings, which were as crispy as they looked. Appreciate that you can try before you buy. Tried them all so for once, I finally found a beer I liked and will stick with - Cwtch. Rebel IPA was nice too. Great service and ambience.

Great vibe and creative beers Tiny Rebel Cardiff is a fantastic spot for craft beer lovers and anyone looking for a fun, laid-back atmosphere. The interior has a cool, urban feel with funky décor, neon signs, and a great mix of seating options—perfect for casual drinks or a relaxed night out. The beer selection is excellent, with a wide range of styles brewed in-house. I tried a few of their seasonal and core beers—standouts were the Clwb Tropica and Stay Puft. They’re bold, creative, and full of flavor.

Brilliant welcome from the staff in a dog friendly, crafty beer pub. Staff happy to help you choose what to drink if you are stuck..... So many choices! Can't wait to return.

A great place for a drink with work colleagues or friends. Perfect for early evening drinks after finishing work on a Friday. Great atmosphere, great beer and reasonably priced. On a sunny day you can sit outside. No rating for food as we didn't eat there.

I had a good shepherd's pie, the service was acceptable and the location was Prime

We hired out upstairs for our wedding party which was such a vibe!! Everything was perfect (food & drink) and the staff were so attentive and accommodating. We and our guests had a great night and we’d would recommend to anyone looking for a unique venue!

Great bar in the centre of Cardiff, with help staff, good live music and a really good selection of locally brewed beers.

Incredible food quality. A bit pricey but well worth the extra taste and freshness. All disabled access is fine except the self-service screens may be too high for some wheelchair users, in that case you can order at the counter directly. As far as a fast food burger place goes this is up there in my opinion I'm going to give it a solid 10 for taste and quality.

Rakshitha served me today at Shake Shack Cardiff, it was my first time ever and she was so patient and kind with me, she talked me through the menu and answered any questions I had which I appreciated, I enjoyed my food and Rakshitha came and checked up on me and asked how my food was and was always smiley too! Thank you for giving me great service today and I can’t wait to come back!! Thank you - Samah

Tried the Korean-inspired menu at Shake Shack and loved the bold flavours 🇰🇷🍔 ad | invite Mark = Team Umami with the Korean BBQ Burger 🤤 Me = Team Swicy with the Gochujang Chicken (I’m such a sucker for a chicken burger 🍗✨) 🍔 Korean BBQ Burger – juicy, smoky, salty. Mark’s fave. 🍗 Gochujang Chicken – crispy, sticky-sweet, fresh slaw. My winner. 🍟 Fries – loaded were fun, but classic salted hit best. 🍫 Desserts – Sticky Toffee & Union Shack = indulgent + gorgeous. 🥤 Shakes – Matcha Cookies & Cream was the surprise star 🌟 🍹 Drinks – Strawberry Yuzu Lemonade = refreshing perfection. ✨ Faves: Burgers & desserts, hands down. Would you be Team Swicy or Team Umami? 👇 Let me know below 🍔 🍗 Shake Shack review • Korean BBQ burger • Gochujang chicken burger • Shake Shack desserts • foodie review Wales • best burgers Swansea Cardiff • NYC burger chain

The food was really lovely, it's very filling however. The burgers in particular were delicious and the shakes were yummy however the prices were so not worth it, to eat for two people it cost me £40 as they don't do meals so we had to order each item separately, they should do meals because it would cut the price down. Honestly don't think it was worth the money as we did not even finish our food, however if I came back here again I might just get a burger and shake.

Food is absolutely amazing, and great quality. My favourite is their hotdog, although the frozen custard will have you wanting to come back. Gotta try the smoke shack burger too, has plenty of toppings and is flooded with flavour.

Thought I’d give this place ago online again and once again it’s a chance of raw burger or what you actually ordered what’s the point in the well done option if it NEVER comes well done. would rate it 0 if I could given customers try and give your establishments another go and pay not normal burger prices you’d think you’d pay a little more attention this is why your online orders are going downhill where’s the manager of this place! ?

This was my first time at a Shake Shack. I was impressed with the yummy burger, Shake and loved the fact you do crinkle fries. The service was friendly ans quick and the restaurant was clean and inviting. I will definitely be using Shake shack again

Really nice fish and chips for £11.20. A good sized portion, would have easily fed two. Generous portion of chips....not particularly thick cut which leads to quite a few crispy bits but plenty of a sensible size. Fish was skinless and cooked to order so batter was nice and crispy. I took mine away but there's convenient seating if you want to eat inside. Server was very polite and helpful, I would definitely return. Thanks Dorothy

Great spot for late night eats. we googled reviews on where to eat late night in Cardiff, this is the first place that popped up after 11 PM. It did not disappoint. There’s a very manageable lineup outside, and you get your order in, in under 10 minutes. We were here with our kids. Our youngest had the sausage and chips , our teenager had the chicken curry and chips, my wife and I split a cod in a box - which was a very large, serving of freshly fried cod, with chips, and mushy peas. We decided to eat in. The dine in spot is very basic. But the food was very good, especially for the price. The staff were very hospitable, knowledgable about allergies, and accommodated us in, and explain a little bit about the 70 year history of the restaurant - especially Tanya. She was so great at taking care of us, checking in on if we needed anything, and making sure the food was good. Highly recommended. Great spot! Great people!

Not good, we'll give it a miss from now on, they don't listen to your order , curry sauce is different/ horrible and poured all over your chips, it's a sad facsimile of the original. I won't be calling again.

We were recommended to go here as we walked through town. There was a lovely young man who helped us with our food selection - tasting the delicious curry sauce and the battered meat/hash filled tasty ball! He also helped us with directions to get an uber. Lovely staff, atmosphere and food. Hope you get down to the black country for a taste of our orange chips!

Thought id try this place out as I've been told about it from various sauces! As I've moved from Swansea to Cardiff, I tried to come here last Monday but allas they where shut, went there this Lunch time on a lovely afternoon, the lady was very welcoming and a great chat, I had a Battered Jumbo Sausage And Chips and a couple of cans of Diet Cokes and sat on the nearby seats and ate them in the sun - fantastic! :o)

UPDATE 2025 I walked into the cafe part of Dorothy’s to order and was told to order next door. Ordered then back to sit down very strange, but who cares getting the best chips in cardiff. Then when food was brought out to us it’s in the recyclable plates with a wooden spoon. All that Dorothy’s was built on in my eyes was the option to have the quick plastic tray or a sit down with a real plate and fork. The place has lost its atmosphere and felt somewhat lost in time. It’s sad to see this happen. I can’t quite understand why they would make this change but can imagine the saving of a pot wash is not worth losing tens of customers daily. This is such a shame and I hope it’s reversed soon, the place has really lost its charm and personality Been coming to Dorothy's for years always have the same, chicken curry cheese and chips. The curry sauce is world famous well Cardiff famous anyway, so fruity and flavoursome. The chips are spot on crunchy yet lovely and fluffy inside. If your in Cardiff no better fast food place.

Quite possibly the best chip shop I've ever been to! Their chips are great on their own but if you are fancying something more the chicken curry and chips is to die for. The chip shop has a small eat in area if you don't fancy take away, both are fantastic.

Ordered two boxes of noodles the other night for home delivery. Each box cost me around £10-11. Wow was I shocked when I opened these boxes, both of them were half full as you can see in the pictures. For £10 you get a half full box of noodles it’s crazy 😂. I’ve ordered from them numerous times before and their food is always really good so there was nothing wrong in terms of taste but the portion size was just disgusting and wrong. I called the restaurant and they told me that their boxes are bigger now that’s why they were both half full. The boxes were the exact same size as before disgusting…. Will be sticking to Wok To Walk going forward.

Foods amazing lovely friendly staff , gave us some free spring rolls … best Ive ever eaten .. They deliver as well travelled 10 miles for this … will be back again abd again … Had lovely conversation with owner!! Highly recommended

Wiwo Noodle Bar in Cathays, Cardiff is a great place to go for a quick and delicious meal. The menu has a wide variety of pan-Asian dishes to choose from, and the food is always fresh and flavorful. I recently tried the noodles with beef and black bean and soy sauce, and they were absolutely delicious. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this dish to anyone who is looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. In addition to the great food, Wiwo Noodle Bar also has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is always happy to help you choose the perfect dish, and they make sure that you have a great experience. I would definitely recommend Wiwo Noodle Bar to anyone who is looking for a great place to eat in Cardiff.

Great choice/ range of dishes, loved the teriyaki chicken with seaweed and the duck rolls! Friendly quick service

Very kind and friendly staff. We ordered 6 box fried noodles. Taste fabulous. Highly recommend.👍🏽👍🏽

Great noodle Bar. Build your own menu, all cooked to order. Very enjoyable with vegan and healthy options available.

Always pop in when we are in the area, always amazing food, staff are lovely and welcoming ☺️

Fresh food and even better service. They have just created a new menu to cater for not just adults but kids also. The owner is a bit unique but not a bad guy lol. Definitely worth the money and always on point with food. Could eat here every day 😊

Four Turkish ladies, travelling back to Bath from Cardiff, decided to stop randomly at Sen BBQ — without knowing anything about it — and what an absolute gem we discovered! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest welcome, as if we were old friends. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, and the hospitality truly heartwarming. And the food... wow. Absolutely delicious! Everything was perfectly cooked — smoky, rich, and bursting with authentic flavour. You could tell it was a family-run business, with so much care and passion poured into every dish. We felt like we were back home in Turkey. This is hands down the best Turkish food we've had in the UK for a very long time. If you're ever near Cardiff — or even if you're not — make the trip to Sen BBQ. You won't regret it. Thank you
