Restaurants in Cardiff

“The staff were lovely polite kind and understanding. The facilities were very clean and having noticed the VIP signage on bowling my son mentioned it and the lady was.more than happy to put us there over all lovely place coin machines you can use your card or contactless to get money for the arcade :)”

“The service was amazing, perhaps the best I've ever experienced. There weren't many vegetarian options as I went with a vegetarian (I am a meat eater). The beyond burger was very good (especially for a vegetarian burger). The cream soda wasn't sugary enough. The chicken finger were very good too. It wasn't cheap but definitely worth it, I recommend it as more of a birthday eat out than something casual. Please note that this is upstairs so if you are afraid of heights stick to the storefronts.”

“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”

“I spent one night with a friend at Zip at the end of September 2025. We paid £26 for a twin room. The room was spotless, the facilities were nice, but the staff truly made the difference. From check-in to check-out, I felt cared for much better than in many other hotels. A special thanks to Mell for her kindness and valuable support at breakfast she really set the right mood for my day. It was unexpectedly surprising to find such kind and genuine people in a low-cost hotel.”

“Fantastic room clean tidy warm comfortable bed, toilet and shower clean and great pressure from the shower. Staff were brilliant from the time we arrived till we left. Breakfast was hot tasty and plenty to choose from. Excellent base to discover Cardiff”

“I liked my stay at Cardiff Marriott Hotel Everything was great, from the room and staff to the breakfast the food was very good and varied. The hotel's location was fantastic, right in the city center and surrounded by many vibrant areas.”

“There was Friendly and helpful staff on shift. Easy check in/out via the phone . Room was clean and comfortable. Stayed for 2 nights bins were emptied, fresh towels given. Only down fall was there was no water bottles replaced for the 2nd day. Good price when booked with black Friday sale. Overall pleased with our stay, we will be back.”

“The hotel is the best location ever! It’s in the city center, a few minutes from the train and bus stations, and close to all the main attractions. The staff was very friendly and nice, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The price is also very good, I recommend booking directly through them as it’s cheaper than doing so through other platforms! Will definitely stay there again!!”

“Had a pleasant 2 night stay here for the Oasis gig in Cardiff. The lady at reception on the day was so pleasant and friendly when we checked in. Rooms were comfy & airy for the hot July weather. I had left items behind in the hotel when we checked out, both Rachel & Georgia went above and beyond communicating via email about my lost items and posted them out to me again. The customer service was excellent and for that alone I would recommend this hotel. Thanks guys!”

“Fantastic place for drinks and food! The atmosphere here is amazing and the Cuban-inspired food here is delicious and offers something a bit different. Aside from the food choices there are so many great cocktail options. We even got to make some in our own masterclass behind the bar which was so much fun.”

“Huge quantity of food. Lovely service and nice environment. Perfect place for a weekend. If you're a cocktail lover, order pitcher than single glass.”

“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.”

“£10 all you can eat pizza, pasta and salad was amazing value. The food was cooked and prepared to a high standard, like it always is at pizza hut. Nice people working here and coming in to dine.”

“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.”

“Just wanted to drop you a line about our experience at the waterfront restaurant today. It was truly a great place to eat! The staff were incredibly friendly, and it was such a plus that they catered to our dog as well. The food was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was very welcoming. Not to mention, the lovely view overlooking the beach added to our pleasant experience. We would certainly recommend this place to others”

“Lovely spot at the end of the Grand Pier. A wonderful cream tea experience followed by a Mimosa which wasn’t on the menu but the team made a plan and so appreciated. Great way to spend the early afternoon. If you make a reservation simply show it at the entrance to the Grand Pier and you will be able to enter at no cost!”

“Popped in for lunch on a quiet Sunday. Excellent food at great prices. Definitely be back soon.”

“My mum and I had afternoon tea here for her birthday and it was absolutely amazing!!! The service was fab - Bleddyn the manager was incredibly accommodating, as were the rest of the staff. Will absolutely be coming back again in the future! Thank you all! :)”

“Fantastic food, a warm and friendly welcome by the very knowledgeable restaurant staff. The food was exceptional, great portions, cooked well with wonderful presentation. I've already booked a family birthday here based on the previous experience. We'll definitely be visiting here in a regular basis. Highly recommended.”

“Went for a bottomless brunch with my boyfriend and we were served by Mo. He was so accommodating, lovely and fast with service. Always checking to see if we wanted more drinks/enjoying it. Couldn’t have asked for better hospitality. Thank you, Mo”

“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!!!!”

“We held my sons football team Christmas party here and I have to say they had a great time. The party package was such great value for money and the staff were brilliant. I would really recommend.”

“Great location to stay. Very close to city, Cardiff Railway station, Cardiff Castle and much more. The rooms are clean and the bed to comfortable. Shower has great pressure. The bar downstairs has a great range of beers and wine. Staff are very friendly and helpful.”

“Had a great night's sleep here on business. The staff at reception were polite and friendly. I was greeted by an Asian gentleman on arrival. He was very busy booking guests in, but still provided great customer service. The room was clean and tidy. The beefeater next door was fantastic for dinner and breakfast. Will be staying again.”

“Very spacious room with everything I needed. There seemed to be an adjoining door ... Lots of loud talking coming from that room. Not great sound proofing. Tea tray was ok, but there were no decaf drinks. I did actually go to reception to see if they had any and they gave me decaf coffee... Oh and a hot chocolate, so that was great. They have toiletries in case you forget anything like I did. Need was huge and very comfortable. Plenty of power sockets near the bed.”
