   Just a quick note to say that No. 5 is a really great addition to the Pontcanna food scene, offering something a little different - more low key, but with a focus on great quality dishes. Went for dinner a few weeks back (there's a lovely intimate atmosphere) and just had breakfast there this morning, and it really is very good. I'm looking forward to doing a better review with pictures for our next visit. Update 28 April 2024 We decided to try No. 5 Pontcanna for Sunday lunch and, having tried and tested and accumulated a fair few favourites in and around Cardiff, I've got to say this didn't disappoint. On the contrary everything about the experience was spot on. Kudos to the staff, who were pleasant, receptive and quick to please. The kitchen too, were on-point. Good ingredients and really great flavours. And there was a really great atmosphere. A perfect Sunday afternoon lunch.

   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.

   I had the ox cheek starter, pigeon for main and the bread pudding dessert. Unfortunately I cannot agree with most of the reviews here, the food was good, but not for the price expected from us. The pigeon required more flavour from its accompaniments, you cannot pair a gamey bird meat with bland vegetables or it will just not work. The oxcheek flavour profile appeared to come entirely from the sauce, however it did have flavour unlike my main. The bread pudding was disappointing, I don't pay over the odds for a bit of cake and some custard on top. Seriously, who thought that was an acceptable presentation of the food? My partner had the sea bass which wasn't really anything to shout about, why are you serving boiled potatoes with fish when I'm paying so much for it? Again it really did not pass muster and probably would have been an acceptable gastro pub dinner. The restaurant is well presented and the staff were friendly, attentive and helpful.

   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.

   Had a great dinner here. Smaller but well considered menu, delivered really pleasantly. Ideal for small groups of friends and family wanting an intimate dining experience. Staff are super polite and patient. Complimentary butternut squash soup was awesome. Would definitely recommend trying this place out.

   Nice local Pontcanna restaurant, with interesting menu. Stand outs were pidgeon (served very rare) and poussin dishes and a gruyure and bacon mash. Do a good corkage deal (need to ask in advance). Not cheap, but a good place to go for a celebratory meal.

   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

   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!
