“I had a great experience at this hotel! The service was excellent, and everything was clean and comfortable. A special thank you to Samhan, who was very kind, helpful, and always had a smile. He made sure everything went smoothly during my stay. Highly recommended!”

“As part of my adventure to discover tasty foods around Cardiff, I stumbled across Vivo Amigo and I'm glad I did. After walking by and seeing a table full of mouthwatering food which was Instagram worthy, I decided to venture and for a lunchtime meal. Upon entering and admiring the decor in addition to the admiring the table full of colourful dishes, I was warmly greeted and shown to a table. I ordered the tandoori burrito which I was highly impressed by, not only the presentation but the amount of different flavours the dish had. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and will be returning after they have released their new menu in June.”

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

“The service and atmosphere was amazing. The food was spectacular and prices were affordable. Me and my friends walked straight in and got served when we didn't reserve. After finishing food, I unintentionally left my pizza takeaway box in the restaurant which got binned. The waitress immediately apologised when I returned to collect my pizza, realising I have forgotten it. Franco Manca made me another pizza, free of charge. I really appreciated this, would definitely recommend others to come.”

“Excellent food! Portion were good, service was excellent even considering that on Sunday it was quite busy and things took a bit longer to arrive. The staff was very friendly and polite.”

“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!”

“Absolutely delicious breakfast. Everything is always so fresh and they take card now :D”

“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”

“Always amazing service at Cote, Cardiff Bay. The food, decor, quick service if going to see a show, friendly staff and French vibe always makes this our go to. A special thank you to Kremena and Melissa!”

“We visited Wed 22nd for a date night. It was sooo nice. The food was delicious, and the staff were great. One sauce top up was slow- But the staff had a difficult table next and the one girl said she was very new, to us so we appreciated them being under pressure. The table next to us were about 8 elderly people. They demanded quicker service as they were going to the theatre. They left saying they had waited 45 mins- They absolutely hadn’t, we were there before them and within 30 mins had ordered, and had drinks and starters. They ate all the bread (without covering any cost) then caused a scene leaving as their drinks were arriving. The staff dealt with it very well. The bourguignon was the nicest I’ve had, and my hubby demolished the mushroom side….. He doesn’t even like mushrooms! I must admit- If it hadn’t been for the Cardiff Devils discount we likely wouldn’t have visited- But we’ll definitely be back!”

“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.”

“Went here with family last time and got the platter, it was so good and very very fulfilling for the 5 of us! Though the spiciest sauce is not spicy but everything is very flavorful and plentiful!”

“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”

“£16 for the special halloumi and chicken burger with chips. Usually I expect either a small burger, or a small portion of chips. I have a big appetite and this portion was HUGE! The chicken fillet in the burger was massive, and the rosemary sea salt chips where perfectly seasoned and so crunchy. Lunch time special can get a single smash burger with the chips and a lemonade for just over a tenner. About £12 to double up (my cousin had that) Huge value for a filling meal, and it was really tasty as well.”

“Had a lovely pre-show dinner and really enjoyed the experience. Food and drinks were delicious, particularly enjoyed the Vampiro and the spicy Margarita. The staff were fantastic and made us feel really welcome. Big shout out to our waitress Emily who was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back when we are next in Cardiff.”

“My goodness! This curry is truly exceptional, undoubtedly the finest in Cardiff and beyond. Having spent a considerable amount of time in the industry, I can confidently say that this is a remarkable culinary experience. We have just thoroughly enjoyed the most delicious curry, prepared in the traditional, fresh manner it should be. Congratulations to everyone at Panama.We will be back soon! Thank you.”

“I visit regularly and the food is always wonderful. Freshly made delicious home cooked food. My favourite is the shakshuka. It's also well worth booking the curry club on a Friday or Saturday evening. Highly recommended.”

“Good food. Been meaning to try for a while. There’s quite a few dishes I wanted to try, so I’ll have to go back! I got the “saliva chicken” because I hadn’t seen it on a menu around here for a while. Delicious! Also opted for the cucumber salad and some plain rice. Salad was nice and fresh and the rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked. Staff were helpful and friendly. Prices are pretty fair in my opinion, too.”

“Amazing community cafe. The staff are always friendly, welcoming and accommodating and the food is amazing. The chai tea and cakes are not to be missed! Really nice location. Such a great asset for Grangetown.”

“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?”

“We got the moussaka, the pastitsio, the saganaki with honey, and the lamb skewer and it was all brilliant! The saganaki and lamb skewer I'd say we're particular standouts but it was all quite good.”

“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”

“Amazing pizza company had tried apna pizza and it was fully stuffed and awesome... staff is very kind 100% recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The most delicious Thai dish with value price in Cardiff city center. If you craving for authentic Thai dish this restaurant will not disappoint you. The cook and waitress are very nice too.”

“Great little shop with a big selection of food and drinks especially high end alcoholic drinks”

“I've stayed here with friends twice for spa weekends. The hotel is excellent. Great location, helpful staff, lovely facilities and rooms are nice. The afternoon tea is great, Spa is lovely and treatments are great. Can't wait to return again!!”
