“Great food! Great service! Our first time but definitely not our last! Genuinely so flavourful. Definitely recommend.”

“I enjoyed my evening here very much. The grilled chicken was moist and well-seasoned, and the roasted vegetables had a pleasant smoky aroma. The ambiance was warm, with soft lighting that created a relaxing vibe. A solid spot for a quiet dinner after a long day.”

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

“Great place to moor when visiting the bay. The visitors berths are close to the clubhouse, with water available. Lovely staff in the yard and clubhouse...nothing was too much for them. Clean clubhouse with great views over the bay towards the barrage. Large shower area, with plentiful hot water. Since writing my review I have joined the club and am delighted to say that my comments about the staff are magnified...the bar and restaurant are excellent, with well presented and plentiful food available. The bar is well run and there is a good variety of drinks available. Outside the clubhouse is a good sized and well maintained carpark. One thing I've yet to mention is the fantastic view from the bar out over Cardiff Bay from Penarth and past the Barrier around to Cardiff. I've attached a video. The club is vibrant with a pleasant businesslike buzz and lots to interest everyone. For he sailor, there is the pleasure of having the availability of the Bay with its constant level of water if you just want to have a gentle sail, or out through the barrier into the channel for something more adventurous.”

“The best Indian food in town, and their loaded fries, best i have ever had. I eat here very often, service, quality of food excellent. I recommend this Indian food stall at the market to anyone. They are located upstairs in Cardiff market. Well done to them. See you again soon”

“Good food, if you don't mind hair in your food, I am bald and clean shaven, so the 20cm hair that I had to remove from my mouth clearly wasn't mine. The staff didn't apologise, didn't offer replacement food, or reduction of the bill, after I spoke they offered to buy us a round of drinks, 2 of our party were drinking water, having decided that we would leave, we did finish the food in front of us, they the let us have the drinks free. First and last time time at Wagamama.”

“Food was absolutely stunning, the best meal I've had in a long long time. All hot and fresh. Couldn't fault a thing. I think the waiter was called Arthur and the Chef was Cai. 10 out of 10,we will be back when you've had your refurbishment, Thank you”

“Karolina has provided translation services for me on numerous occasions. Very prompt with replies and an extremley professional manner. Kept true to the timelines and the costs. Highly recommended.”

“One off best shopping are to go he have everything we need in on place .coffee hot . Food . Newspaper. Kits for home . Lottery tickets”

“Fantastic shop with a huge selection of produce. I come for the great Turkish delight (lokum) selection, also love all the different types of nuts. So many interesting ingredients available and at a very reasonable price. The baklava also looks great but haven't tried it yet.”

“Over the years I have stayed at many hotels, each usually with their own restaurant, few are good, some mediocre and many are poor. Out of all the hotels I've stayed at I'm happy to say that the Chefs at this restaurant are why I return and why I'd say it's somewhere within my personal top 3 hotel restaurants I've dined at. The food is always genuinely excellent, a particular favourite is the scotch egg with pea puree and bacon jam... a good reason in itself to return! The pork belly with fennel, cabbage, potato gratin and sage stuffing is another excellent dish, each element is clearly treated with care and skill which absolutely shows in the finished product. Thank you to the chef for making another night away from home a little more tolerable by way of excellent cookery.”

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

“Had a great experience booking my works Christmas party here for 15 people! Staff were incredibly helpful and engaging. Food and Drinks were excellent. Great vegan options! Highly recommend!”

“Good selection of goods at great prices”

“The location is perfect, as it’s a short walk to all the city center attractions and to Cardiff Queen Street station. The room is comfortable and complete with all the amenities you may need. But what really stands out is the staff. All super nice and helpful. Special praise to Marina, whose amazing service provided an exceptional stay!”

“We booked the room for 4 days. Breakfast was quite good. It has other meal deals also. Room was comfortable & bus stations is just across the road. Different buses including sightseeing stop here. Check the timmings & dates for sightseeing bus. A halal buffet resturant..buffet tonight ...( 18 pound ) with more than 50 items ,is 100 meters away in red dragon mall, with a cinema..games for kids & bowling alley.”

“The food is absolutely delicious and the steak was absolutely stunning. Everything we had was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed my evening. The staff and service was 10/10 so well done for that. Check my full review out on my instagram page @keemanaans_food_blog”

“Really nice five guys restaurant which is located on a really good strip. Newport road is in the heart of Cardiff and has a range of fantastic shops and restaurants. It had a good service here where staff were helpful and you could see that they were very hard working. It was very quiet on Sunday evening around 6.00 o'clock when I visited. The food was prepared and handed to us in a good time which meant we weren't waiting long. The food was incredible as usual. The drinks machine and condiment area are to the right of the store and the toilets through the doors to the left of the store. The floor was a little slippery however that's the same in the other two five guys I have ever been to. Please be mindful of this especially going to the bathroom. The store accepted cards and cash. The car park was medium sized to the left of the building. The atmosphere was very quiet but that was due to it being not very busy during the time of visit. Overall it was a pleasant visit, good store, nice staff, good service and great tasting food.”

“Had a great time here. My wife had bought us a beer tasting masterclass. OMG, brilliant. Although there should have been us plus 4 others we were told, the 4 didn't turn up, they missed an amazing 2 hours. Our host was a young guy called Seb, he was absolutely great. Not know what to expect, he went through the plan and explained the beers, what they make on site, what they bring in, how the beers are made, history and you are brought 8 thirds to try in order. Time to discuss each one, the colour, the taste, the origin. He was very knowledgeable and really made a great experience, would recommend this masterclass.”

“Lovely staff and great service. Been going there for years and the staff are what make it a great place to shop.”

“Always rated Co-op produce , staff friendly and helpful.”

“Had some super dog treats on offer today”

“Great location and easy to find parking. The staff here are lovely and attentive and we were made up to be 'guests of the day' Room was clean and bedsheets spotless, teabags do need to be changed to a decent brand though. Some parts of the hotel were tired and in need of repair such as leaking roof and broken lift, however the breakfast was excellent and our experience was amazing. I definitely will choose The Hilton again to stay during our next rugby match and what an honour to meet the Japan team. Thanks all you made me and my boys so happy x”

“Had great food and drink at Bill's. The atmosphere is always nice, the food always spot on and fills a spot and the staff are always amazing. The staff member serving us today was Andres. They were very nice, looked like they enjoyed their job, always smiling and dressed presentable.”

“Just had a wonderful afternoon in the Welsh House, the food was of a very good standard, plenty of choice and well priced. The atmosphere was a cross between restaurant and bar, very relaxing and welcoming. We were attended to by the lovely Isabell who made us feel welcome. Would highly recommend and will definitely come here again.”

“I had an absolutely outstanding experience at Courts in Cardiff. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, elegant, and welcoming. The food was nothing short of exceptional – every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. You can really taste the freshness and care put into each plate. A special mention must go to the Head Chef, whose creativity and passion shine through every dish. The team deserves the highest praise – friendly, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making the evening unforgettable. Courts is more than just a restaurant – it’s an experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing food, impeccable service, and a unique atmosphere in Cardiff. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“I was one of many celebrating n 18th birthday recently with a Sunday lunch at the Cardiff Bay branch. I have to say the service, especially from Diane, Mathew and Nico (manager) was excellent! Both quick and efficient. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and the quality food was excellent as usual and the prices provided very good value for money. Highly recommended.”

“This is one of the best pubs in the Diff!!! Every time we go we love it, we don't intend on staying but we do until the end!!!! Live music atmosphere, and the Boss is an absolute Legend, always busy and he's always smiling and works hard at keeping everyone happy. I've given 5 stars for food that's based on the Irish crisp selection available!!!!”
