The 30 Best Steak house in Cardiff

“Lovely food, fantastic staff the owner is so friendly and makes you feel welcome. Had 2 rolls one bbq beef, cheese with peppercorn sauce and other garlic beef, cheese and peppercorn sauce was well worth the money. I think they was £6.50 each and 2 cans drink come to around £15”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Been tonight with partner and 2 of our friends for my partners birthday what a querky little place you have and the food was unreal thank you for a.brilliant night”

“Absolutely amazing food. The smoke house comes highly recommended for food quality, service and price. We will be coming back next time we are in Cardiff.”

“This was delicious! I had the Stilton & Asparagus Pie which was amazing. The pastry was flaky and crispy, it came with peas and gravy and you could choose the potato type. I chose rustic chips and they may be the nicest chips I’ve ever had! The staff are so friendly and can’t help you enough. The car park can be a bit difficult to find, it’s around the back of the venue, up Greenwood Lane (it says it’s a dead end but you turn off into the car park). Make sure to put your number plate in when you get into the venue!”

“The food here was amazing! We all ordered the mixed kebab with rice and salad, portion size was generous, the meat was tender and full of flavour, and the price was very reasonable. It also came with fresh bread and lovely sauces. The staff were very friendly, we ate here on a hot day and they were very accommodating and moved their fans to suit us. Overall a 5 star experience, thank you!”

“Came for sunday lunch, never been before. I honestly cant recall a better sunday roast. Highly recommend this place. Great value and only 15 minutes on the train from cardiff followed by a 10 minute walk through the village”

“Great service only surpassed by the quality of the food. Had the sharing lamb as a main , with prawn croquettes and sourdough to start. The tables are spaced out, the service not intrusive and the general atmosphere was good. Look forward to eating there again.”

“Had Sunday lunch with my wife and two friends. What a great experience it was. The setting is beautiful, the staff are very attentive and professional, and the food was exceptional. This was the best Sunday lunch we’ve had anywhere and will definitely be back. Well done to all involved.”

“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.”

“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”

“The take away food was one of the best we have had. We will definitely go back again.”

“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!”

“I stayed with them this last week and I must say the experience was delightful! The staff and atmosphere was lovely and the stay itself was super nice and comfortable. But the main star of my stay was the breathtaking view from my room which i couldnt get enough of! I will definitely be staying with them again”

“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.”

“To call my recent evening at Las Iguanas in Cardiff Bay merely a "meal" would be an injustice. It was an event, a culinary explosion that set a new standard for dining. The atmosphere? Electric! The Latin American flavours in every dish were nothing short of sensational, and the cocktails were masterfully crafted—a true triumph, especially with the phenomenal two-for-one offer. But let me be absolutely clear: the true star, the radiant force that elevated this experience from great to legendary, was our floor server, Sage. Sage didn't just serve; she orchestrated our evening with flawless precision and captivating charm. Her attention was hawk-like, anticipating our every need before we even voiced it. When we had a minor request, she handled it with a confident flourish and an immediate resolution that left us stunned by her professionalism. Her genuine warmth wasn't just friendly—it was magnetic. In a bustling, high-energy environment, Sage possessed a poise and a radiant positive energy that is incredibly rare. She made us feel like royalty, and that level of dedicated, passionate hospitality is priceless. Sage is, without exaggeration, a monumental asset to the Cardiff Bay location, representing the pinnacle of customer service. Do not just visit Las Iguanas; demand to be seated in Sage's section! We will be returning to revel in this extraordinary experience again and again. Five stars is barely enough!”

“First time for the Sunday lunch and it was so lovely. Staff were attentive and we were not rushed at all even though we had early booking. Always love the ambiance here. My fave place”

“I love this place, I came back with my family for a meal and the food is always a 10/10. I got the filly cheese sandwich and garlic mash and it was flavourful. The staff always has a smile on their which gives the place a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend!”

“THE BEST GRILLED FOOD IN CARDIFF!!! been coming here for years when we’re in the area. Great staff and service, the owner always looks after you. Definitely recommend!”

“First taste of Korean food & thoroughly enjoyed it. Staying at nearby Premier Inn & liked the sound of this place. Unique, quirky, fab food & lovely helpful service. Would love to return.”

“Food was lovely. I had the breaded chicken breast with fries, coleslaw, and egg. My mum had a full english breakfast. Didn't like the capers on top though I think it kinda ruined the meal but It's my own fault for forgetting to ask to remove them. Full english breakfast was lovely. They take blue light card which is great if you want a decent discount. It took a very long time for staff to take our order and bring the bill, it was busy though. I'd recommend if its not busy and if you have a blue light card as the price would be worth it for the discount. Suitable for people with food allergies and had no issues with that.”

“The food is absolutely delicious and the steak was absolutely stunning. Everything we had was cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed my evening. The staff and service was 10/10 so well done for that. Check my full review out on my instagram page @keemanaans_food_blog”

“Had great food and drink at Bill's. The atmosphere is always nice, the food always spot on and fills a spot and the staff are always amazing. The staff member serving us today was Andres. They were very nice, looked like they enjoyed their job, always smiling and dressed presentable.”

“Magnificent. I would and definitely will return. We had the calamari to start, which was absolutely incredible, perfectly cooked and a seasoning that is strangely familiar but so unique and delicious. Followed by two fillet steaks with the béarnaise sauce and the garlic mushroom sauce, steaks were perfectly cooked and tender and the sauces were divine. For desert we shared a baileys cheesecake which was lovely and flavorful without being too sweet. All washed down with a lovely bottle of 2016 Bordeaux. So, the hook of the restaurant is to go to the counter to order. Though my partner and I were tentative about this as we usually like to take our time and peruse the menu, this was in fact a delight. The chef behind the counter was not pushy and did not rush us whilst we were trying to decide. Instead, asked if we had any questions. We deliberated between ourselves and had many recommendations from the chef. The service staff were also very attentive and friendly. Top marks here. My only BUT, there always is, and I do feel a little harsh including it was the noise level. We obviously booked a table prime Christmas party season. The parties who attended were incredibly loud. Shouting over each other, obnoxiously drunk, and gathering around each others tables. Though I fully understand and appreciate that this is not the fault of the restaurant at all, it did detract from the ambience. Which we were lucky enough to experience once the large parties had vacated. We will most certainly return”

“Visited the Cardiff Bay branch recently. The food was lovely, the service was even better. The waitress, Eve, was really friendly and made me and my partner feel really welcome. Will definitely visit again”

“Hannah served us most of our stay at Cardiff Airport and can say on behalf of Cowbridge Male Voice Choir she was brilliant! Service second to none!!”

“We went here on Tuesday for dinner. We had only a 2 minute wait for a table as it was a smaller Nando’s. The staff were amazing and were quick with grabbing our drinks and food. Food was amazing and wasn’t overly spicy. Will definitely be coming back!!”

“Had a great time here. My wife had bought us a beer tasting masterclass. OMG, brilliant. Although there should have been us plus 4 others we were told, the 4 didn't turn up, they missed an amazing 2 hours. Our host was a young guy called Seb, he was absolutely great. Not know what to expect, he went through the plan and explained the beers, what they make on site, what they bring in, how the beers are made, history and you are brought 8 thirds to try in order. Time to discuss each one, the colour, the taste, the origin. He was very knowledgeable and really made a great experience, would recommend this masterclass.”
