Restaurants in Cardiff

“Food is consistently fresh, you can taste how fresh and good the salmon is every time. The service is efficient and helpful and the atmosphere is very nicely Japanese themed. Gets quite busy often, so best to book in advance.”

“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!”

“Great service, the staff is super helpful and kind. Thank you to Moses and Pedro for really making the stay better. I was a bit stressed and had to stay here unexpectedly but they quickly changed my mood. It's always people that make a hotel or any business memorable. I would come and stay again. Highly recommended!”

“absolutely fab boxing day at boom battle bar Cardiff with my family. all the staff were attentive and friendly, willing to go above and beyond to make our evening perfect. happily accommodating our party activities in between the darts and karaoke, giving us the space in the quieter section of the bar to play party games and eat. only downside was that area didn't have any heating on but understandably to save on the bills when it wasn't planned to be used at the time. the only other unfortunate complaint would be for the prices of drinks, they were a bit high for comfort. however, the experience in all was excellent and better than could be expected. we all had a fab time and are very grateful, diolch!”

“Me and my friend ate here tonight... I had the mixed grill. The food is so fresh and tasty and the guys there are really polite! Great service and amazing food, what more can you wish for!? Sadly we're not from the area and only working down here for two weeks. When you work away a lot you relay on Google for good reviews, which we use a lot. I can't recommend this restaurant enough!! We'll be back again next week. Absolutely amazing! 5*”

“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!”

“Best Japanese restaurant in Cardiff! So glad when Ichiban reopened after they relocated so I could get my sushi fix. Food was great and the service is always excellent.”

“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.”

“Tasty food, first time trying Syrian food and it did not disappoint. So many different flavours, nice menu and friendly staff. Not to mention the beautiful interior decor.”

“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!”

“Booked a table for 6 @ 7.30 and our table was ready. Drinks, Starters & Main Courses All turned up on time and were delicious. I’d particularly recommend the Lamb Bhuna which came with a particularly well marinated lamb shank. The staff were extremely helpful & attentive and the manager was friendly and knowledgeable. There’s a reason The Empire is still popular after 30 years. Lots of fun and Highly recommended.”

“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”

“Lovely evening celebrating my son’s 9th birthday. Food was fabulous, served fairly quickly and atmosphere was lovely and chilled. Nick our server was perfect, made a fuss of my son for his birthday, made us laugh and couldn’t have been a better host. Thank you so much!”

“£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.”

“My friend and I spent a lovely couple of hours here, the service was excellent and the food was fabulous! I had the king prawn pasta and my friend had the gluten free salmon and prawn pasta, she said it was the best gf meal she'd had in a while! We'll definitely be back.”

“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.”

“Absolutely fantastic tacos! I had an amazing experience. I ordered the tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. Very fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The tacos were soft but warm to a good temperature, generous fillings, and the toppings added just the right amount of crunch. The server in the black shirt (her name badge said shai) was amazing. Greeted me with a sweet smile and charm, and she was very patient in explaining everything. Excellent customer service. I'm definitely coming back:)”

“A great place to eat with a very good choice of latino food. Great service from staff and also friendly too. Access from the street was easy and no steps to negotiate. I had the burrito for main and the cheesecake for dessert...delicious! I recommend visiting and I will be back. I suggest you book a table in advance.”

“Bought a gift voucher for the 14 meats experience for my dad for his birthday and for a man that always finds a negative in everything usually, he came from viva la Brazil Cardiff having had the best evening. The food and the server (female, in her 20s working Sunday 4:15 booking on 7/12) was fantastic apparently. Very attentive and happy. My mum has a very small appetite so just had the salah option and said the standard was fantastic very good options and food. They will be back.”

“We had a great meal here at lunchtime. The server was incredibly helpful, running through the offers available for us to get the best deal and saved us money, and even offered blue light discount without us even asking which was really appreciated. Food came super quickly, with generous dips provided too. The burgers were delicious and juicy (we had the signature smash burgers) and seasoned chips with cheese were super tasty too. Service was absolutely top notch and very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food we were provided. Will definitely be back, thanks so much!”

“Used to live in Llanhilleth 2012 Tamarind was our go to Indian. Since moving to Cardiff nothing has compared. Working in Abertillery yesterday I pulled by to pick up a cheeky curry on the way home. 13 years later, still the best curry house in south wales.”

“Sam and the team are amazing, my kids are hard to please but this place has them so content and the food was more then 5 star I’m so happy I found this little secret it’s a must go to place when visiting Weston.”

“My now wife and I recently got married at New House, and the whole experience couldn’t have been better. The grounds are beautiful, the view of the city is incredible, and the staff couldn’t have done more for us. Breakfast and dinner were also great. The Wyndham suite and marquee are brilliant for a wedding, and the Countess and Marques suites are perfect bedrooms for the occasion. We would 100% recommend this venue for a wedding or just for a hotel getaway.”

“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.”

“My girlfriend and I dined here for the first time last Thursday and we walked away smiling about the lovely food and customer experience. Service was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was first class and there was plenty of it. I had a lunch box fit for a king the next day. We will be back! Thank you!”

“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 would recommend Windsor Tea Rooms in Penarth. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The seating outside is dog-friendly. The food is lovely and a traditional home-style. We often pop into Windsor tea rooms after our weekend shopping in Penarth.”

“Such warm and welcoming service, the food was amazing too. Excellent portion sizes and value for money. The decor is such a nice touch too. We will be back!”

“Lovely 3 night stay at Staybridge Suites in Cardiff. Great location as it sits between Cardiff Bay & the City Centre. We stayed in a king suite overlooking the water. The bed was comfortable, bathroom modern, kitchen facilities available as well as a wardrobe, table & chairs, pouffe & plenty of storage space. Staff were all very friendly and attended to all of our needs. There's an onsite gym overlooking the water, a free laundry room to use, snacks to buy and a bar which connects staybridge suites with the Holiday Inn. There are social nights during the week and a den or food area to relax. Breakfast included. There were hot & cold options. Rooms were cleaned daily. Check in from 3pm and checkout at 11am. Parking available on a first come first served basis priced at £10 per day.”

“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.”
