Restaurants in Cardiff

“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!”

“Absolutely superb dining experience. Thank you to Donna, Clare et al, for making my 50th birthday so very special. Scallops to start, the Lamb for my main and a treacle tartlette for dessert with an additional birthday surprise. They accommodated my daughter's special requirements and indulged me one of mine. This is something I'll not forget in a hurry, if ever. The staff go above and beyond with the bonus addition of three gorgeous spaniels who were super well-behaved. Highly recommended gold star!”

“A really friendly Italian cafe owned by a lovely Sicilian man. Locals use it regularly. It also sells Italian items like pasta, tinned tomatoes and coffee beans. The menu has a good selection of food and drink items. There's not much parking space on the street but spaces may be available in the surrounding area.”

“Beautiful flavours. Huge portions. Good quality and priced food. Couldn't ask for more. You can see the chef works hard, she's definitely a fab cook. Fair play, be visiting whenever we can. Nice to have something different in aberdare.”

“Very nice food and staff were very friendly also, very good portions.”

“The ambiance in this restaurant is first class. Ive dined there twice in the last year and the music selection / vibe was the first thing that I tuned into on both visits. Felt so welcome, special and looked after. The food was super tasty and an intriguing selection (would have been happy with anything on the menu really). Echo the comments in the other reviews on the Spinach gratin and short rib croquette. Cocktails visually decorative and well mixed and went down a storm with our party. Especially in Nightshade. Service excellent - Isabella (Italian)? Was fantastic with us but all staff very attentive. Simply can't wait to return.”

“The food and the cocktails were fantastic and our waiter Clev, was friendly and professional, and made our experience even more special.”

“Lived in Caerphilly 11+ years and have never been here. Decided to change that and went this week. Lovely service. Went for my mums birthday and the range of vegetarian and vegan options were fantastic. Would have liked more potatoes and less veg with the steak and a wider range of sauces, but it was cooked to perfection. Starters were amazing, would have liked slightly more prawns and slightly less tomatoes and salad - for £10.50”

“Food is so delicious and actually really affordable, you can try a few starters and get a really good value, staff is very attentive and friendly, they make the dinner nice. Atmosphere is really well thought out, feels like fine dining but in a talkative atmosphere. I'd recommend their different take on the arancini balls, it's refreshing and tangy. I think you need a reservation, I was able to call and book an hour before.”

“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.”

“Chicken Tikka Karahi was authentic. The chicken was well marinated meaning the flavours went inside the good quality meat and as a result it was very tender and moist. The spices were on point. The bindi was fresh and well cooked with onions, tomatoes and spices, so the vegetable was the right consistency, tender but not slimy. The rice was fluffy and delicate and the paratha mopped up the flavours. No alcohol which makes for a pleasant atmosphere although they will serve your own if you bring it, with no corkage charge. Highly recommend,”

“We've been here so many times now and we always love coming back. The staff are lovely and the food is delicious! One of our favourite Japanese restaurants to visit. Very well priced and high quality ingredients.”

“I visit here regularly to stock up on ramen and other bits. Compared to other similar markets in Cardiff the stock is well priced and offers a very good variety.”

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

“Great place for a traditional all-day breakfast at a good price. Great friendly service and fast, hot tasty food. Definitely worth a visit. lots of other food available. I will work my way through the menu... Lots of inside seating or a couple of tables outside in the sunshine”

“We stayed one night to do the vineyard tour and tasting We decided to have lunch before hand, and it was so lovely to enjoy the sunshine and try some wines before hand. The lunch menu was extensive and the food was beautifully presented and very flavoursome with garnishes that complimented the dishes perfectly. We also join the restaurant for Dinner and again were not disappointed. My partner even had a birthday dessert cheesecake. Nothing was too much for trouble for any of the serving staff and the gentleman who greeted us was outstanding throughout our whole stay, unfortunately we didn't get his name.”

“Simply the best spot for Sushi! Friendly service for the whole family, and the food is to die for!! Thank you so much, cannot wait to try your other dishes xx”

“First class meal ! We shall definitely be returning.. wow. Staff very friendly and polite. We opted for the sharing starter for two, portions great. Our mains stunning, we will be back.”

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

“The stylist really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and offered great suggestions that worked perfectly for me.They didn’t just give me a haircut—they transformed my look! My hair has never looked this good. I’ve gotten so many compliments already!”

“Amazing food and all covid19 measures adhered to. Wonderful staff go and support this restaurant you will not be disappointed.”

“There were few people dining early on a Monday evening, so atmosphere was somewhat subdued. That said, we went for the food, rather than the atmosphere, and thoroughly enjoyed what we had.”

“After a long drive, this was just the ticket. Excellent Big Breakfast with a decent cup of black coffee to wash it down. Enjoyed it enough to have the same the next morning, too. My companion, who is local, will be back, too. Yes, there are better breakfasts out there, but not necessarily better value. They are a lovely couple that run the cafe, too.”

“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.”

“Really comfortable way to watch films. The bar area is very smart with a great atmosphere in the evenings. If you're having food it's best eaten at a table in the bar rather than off your laps in the dark! Less messy too.”

“Amazing! Good price and very delicious food! My friend told me the seabass is the best in Cardiff, and she is right! So tasty. I strongly recommend it. The lemon mint drink is very refreshing. I love it too. The amount of food is so large that you may not be able to finish it yourself.”

“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.”

“What am amazing pleasant experience dining here was last night, the staff were so friendly, service was so good and the food was amazing. I went for the specials, an amazing burrata, pesto and cherry tomato dish for starters which is so so good. For main the special was a fish ravioli, the ravioli was made from black ink pasta and (normal) pasta so it was white on one side and black on the other, it was filled with sea bass and prawns and the fish sauce was amazing. Such a delicate dish. It's nice to dine somewhere where you get such good food and service and still get get a decent bottle of wine for under £23. (The expensive pallet was also catered for with an extensive wine list available). Thanks for making us feel so welcome, and a lovely evening.”

“Booked last minute for an early table on new years eve, before a visit to the glee club in Cardiff - all I can say is WOW the food is incredible!!! first time here but def wont be the last, the BEST tsatsiki ive ever had in the uk - everything was tasty & very well presented - we were even given complimentary baklava which was also delicious! We will definitely return :)”
