“We had Turkish breakfast yesterday and it was really lovely and tasty breakfast. The staff are welcoming warm and friendly and the food is very authentic and so delicious. We had Serpme breakfast, including Omelet, Halloumi, fried eggs, Black and green olive, mozzarella sticks, cheese, sucuk, Beand, feta, Tahina&Molasses, Rosa jam, Honey, chips and salad. I highly recommend it and are looking forward to returning.”

“There's a reason people queue here for a sandwich, snack or coffee. Best place we found for our packed lunches when exploring the area. Great selection and choice, friendly service and reasonable prices too.”

“It is our first time to try this restaurant for take away today. The staff is really really nice and friendly. We ordered three dishes and the price is incredibly reasonable. When we are back to home and taste it, I will say it is very fantastic and very delicious. It is very outstanding in terms of quality and taste, and I can say the taste is very traditional which is already very hard to find similar high quality dishes like these even in Hong Kong and China right now. I would highly recommend it to everyone and look forward to try other dishes again this week.”

“Such a delightful find. The owner was so welcoming, happy and friendly. The food is all cooked fresh on site and made to order. I had Scampi and my wife had a burger. Both were delicious! This place just makes me happy, it is run with thoughtfulness, generosity and care.”

“Very nice food, freshly prepared to your requirements. The chef is super nice and friendly. Good service and very tasty food.”

“Lovely coffee in front of a fire served by friendly owners.”

“amazing, super friendly staff! i’m not really a coffee person but their hot chocolates are the best! and they’ve got a great playlist for the optimal chill coffee shop environment. one of the only places i don’t want to wear my headphones because it’s always a nice atmosphere, and super family friendly. (also, don’t pass up the opportunity to try any of the sweet treats!! it’s impossible to be disappointed :-))”

“A remarkable place, with space for exhibitions and art studios. They also serve (vegetarian) food during the day; but we were there for an evening event so I can't comment on that. But I'm impressed with the vision and facilities of Barnabas Arts House. I'm sure we'll be visiting again.”

“Great selection of food raw or otherwise and stock quality natural treat selection. Helpful and great staff too.”

“What a warm welsh welcome to this local cafe based in Beddau. The food is absolutely beautiful and plentiful. I enjoyed an ultimate breakfast as the next size up was too much for me. If you like a challenge and enjoy your food, this is one experience you need to try. A breakfast of champions cooked to perfection by Amber. The cafe seats 28 people, and it also has a toilet. If yout ever anywhere near Beddau and feeling hungry, this is the place to be, whether it's breakfast or lunch. Amber has something to ticle your taste buds and test your limits. Highly recommend a visit”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience at Caesars Arms. The service was outstanding The staff really made the visit special. The food and environment were both incredibly pleasant and relaxing. I had a ribeye steak after enjoying a goat-cheese starter, their housemade garlic bread, and finished with a Black Forest gateau. The rest of the table enjoyed duck liver pâté, matured sirloin, more garlic bread, a selection of wines, various desserts. A truly wonderful countryside dining experience — highly recommended.”

“Exceptional food and service. Matt was really helpful with recommendations and I ended up going with the Vietnamese Curry which was fantastic. Full of flavour and spice! Accompanied by a fresh, coconut, pineapple and apple juice which was just as good. Will definitely be returning soon! The reviews at Pho speak for themself. 5/5.”

“Like what they are doing here with the staff. Great friendly staff. Fantastic food. I would highly recommend”

“This pub is fantastic. I had such a good evening/night here. The atmosphere was brilliant, the staff and owner Gareth were all great and made me feel very welcome (even though I wasn't drinking!) There was live music last night and people queuing to get in, they have various things going on and a huge array of locals from all walks of life; young and old. I highly recommend a visit you won't be disappointed. John and Gareth I look forward to seeing you soon...keep that water coming!”

Our friend who is a qualified climber/instructor met us there and stayed with us both until we left 4hours later we will definitely be back! We had so much fun highly recommended”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bigmoose Coffee in Cardiff is an absolute gem! As a non-profit coffee shop, they not only serve delicious food and drinks but also support a great cause. We tried the Avocado Co Bagel, which comes with avocado, mozzarella, tomato and bacon. It was perfectly prepared and incredibly tasty. The mocha we had alongside it was rich and satisfying. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a delightful meal and a chance to contribute to a good cause. Will definitely be back!”

“Fabulous little restaurant. We have been coming here and their Canton branch for many years.Great Sardinian and Italian beer and a good wine selection. The food is wonderful and very good value.Staff are always helpful and welcoming.”

“Right around the corner for our stay in Cardiff, we found this restaurant via Google Maps. It was a fantastic surprise. The interior was quiet, beautiful and had an excellent atmosphere. The staff was very friendly, personable and professional. We sampled a lot: hummus with pita bread, lamb, stew, chicken, beef, dolmeh (grape leaf wraps, I believe), doogh (a yogurt drink), mango drink and a Persian-made tea. The portions were very large and everything was delicious. We left with a very positive opinion of the restaurant; one of our best dining experiences in Cardiff.”

“Delicious. A fine dining restaurant with great service. Did the tasting menu with wine pairing. pretty generous with the wine too. Food was delicious. bartender made a cocktail tailored to my taste.”

“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! ”
