Really excellent, one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. The service was great and the general atmosphere was relaxed. The lunch menu was simplified but the options were perfect, including the vegan options. Can't wait to visit again.

We had watched a series that highlighted great Spanish restaurants around the world. On our return from Pembrokeshire we decided to stop in Cardiff and try Asador. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent (I had scallops and octopus and my wife the mushrooms and bbq sole, accompanied by artichokes and leek gratin). The staff spent time to chat and provide informative advice without be over attentive, in particular in the selection of wines to match the meal. Great atmosphere that filled as the afternoon progressed.

A very nice, smart city centre restaurant, with attentive staff, plenty of space and good lighting. The menu was interesting and the wine list varied, with an excellent Cava on offer. The food was generally very good, particularly the meaty mains and vegetable sides, but I personally found the starters to be overly deconstructed and very salty. I much prefer to know exactly what I'm eating, and to be able to identify each flavour. I'd definitely visit again though.

What a treat to go to Asador 44 to celebrate my 67th Birthday. The meal was excellent, the service was friendly, well informed and timely. Without the hovering that sometimes occurs in restaurants. The food was amazing - from the Sobrassada butter that went with the Sourdough, through the lovely tasty starters to the main course. Sharing a kilo of wonderful, perfectly cooked Welsh Ex-dairy cow rib - it was so delicious I couldn't help myself chewing the meat off the bone - not something you are supposed to do in polite company, but it was my birthday, so I don't care. A wonderful evening, thanks to all the team who looked after us so well from arrival to departure.

This is a must visit and repeat visit restaurant 😍 The location is just off St Mary's street, easy to get to and opposite the Principality stadium. We arrived and were greeted immediately and taken to our table, which, for me, was perfect as it was at the front of the restaurant by a radiator 🙌 I hate being cold in restaurants 😂 The service was impeccable. i wish I had taken the name of our waiter. He was Spanish and so informative about the menu and ingredients. The food and drinks were both fantastic. I highly recommend having the Vermut, grape, and apricot aperitif 👌 I really rate a restaurant on the bread!! The soda bread, butter, and oil served were delicious. As for the beef, well, it really is delicious, so much so you may wish to eat off the bone literally! The tomato side goes perfectly with the steak. If you are undecided, take this review as the green light to just go. It's worth every penny, and I will absolutely go back. Thank you to the whole team. You have a superb restaurant 👌 👏

Went for a night out with a few friends who had been before to Asador. The food variety, restaurant layout and the look a feel were all very good. The service was excellent and the food was good but be prepared to pay for it, as it’s not a cheap night out and I am not absolutely convinced the food is worth the price. Would I go again, probably yes but it would be only to go with friends at their request, but I wouldn’t say no. The bill was £400 between 4 of us with 1 bottle of wine in that.

Went here for a birthday dinner and had the last spot for reservation. Finding parking was a nightmare (not the restaurant's fault, obviously) but the staff made every effort to accommodate us despite arriving slightly late. The food was served promptly, was piping hot and delicious, full of flavour! Ended the evening with a nice little surprise- 44% off the bill at the roll of a dice! (They had a promotion going in January) 10/10 would recommend!

El restaurante en sí es muy agradable. Buena iluminación y decoración. El personal es acogedor, pero el servicio es lento. He estado varias veces en los últimos años. En esta ocasión visité con un grupo de amigos y gasté £ 50 en un refresco, un plato principal y un postre. Tenía merluza que no tenía sabor y venía en una extraña sopa de judías verdes que no comía. Me quitaron el plato todavía lleno y no me preguntaron por qué no me lo comí. Me ofrecí voluntariamente a ellos que no era una buena comida, pero no tenía disculpas ni ofrecimientos que reemplazar. Entonces pedí un helado, y era horriblemente marrón claro insípido. Una oferta de supermercado barato. así que de nuevo dejé mi tazón lleno y de nuevo nadie preguntó por qué no lo comí. Cuando pagué la cuenta les dije que mi comida era horrible. Una vez más, ninguna disculpa u oferta para reducir mi parte de la cuenta para reflejar el hecho de que no comí. No volveré de nuevo y no recomendaría desafortunadamente.

What a gem we have found!! We loved everything! Even things that we thought would be simple, like the petit fours, were spectacular. The fries although we differ in that one would want them thick (they were thin and crunchy), but we agreed that they were divine!! What looked like a simple tomato salad, wonderful!! The shrimp croquettes, spectacular!! The sangria, very good!! The nougat ice cream sandwich was sooo good. Buuut, the star of the night was the ribeye or Tbone, made of matured meat (Porterhouse), it was perfectly cooked, super tender, the meat very very tasty, with the fat with a caramelized point, simply impressive!!! Yes, you pay for that, but it's totally worth it!! Thank you!! We hope to return soon!

Thanks to the whole team for a really lovely night. The customer service from everyone we encountered was really warm and attentive. I thought I had booked a table and it wasn’t showing in the system but they really kindly found us a table anyway. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. The prawn croquettes were outstanding. We have had croquettes all over Spain and these were easily the best we have ever had. We played the roll the dice game when we got the bill and won a beautiful hard back book. Such a lovely keepsake to remember a great night. We’ll be back sooner rather than later!

Asador 44 is well known in Cardiff, and so this is one I had to try. We had the prawn croquetas, wild mushroom and root veg pisto, slow cooked lamb shoulder, cauliflower gratin, almond turron ice cream sandwich. All the quallity and flavour you'd expect from such an establishment. A must visit.

2nd visit to Asador and this experience was just as good. Two of us shared the suckling pig option. The meat cut was excellent and cooked with a crisp skin. We shared just one side veg to go with the meat which was plenty as the cut was huge. Having a 1st course will likely mean you can't finish the pig due its size. This was one of the best meat feasts I have ever had.

Asador 44's main calling card is ex-dairy beef, grilled over live fire - and boy, do they knock that particular delicacy out of the park. But lest that not get your juices flowing, there's plenty of delicious alternatives on offer. My wife's lamb shank, smothered in a rich, unctuous gravy was perfection. The desserts meanwhile were amongst some of the best I'd had in ages - rich, velvety chocolate mousse with an intriguing cherry vinegar to cut through the richness was decadence on another level. It helps too that the service at Asador 44 is delivered with a smile; every staff member working there appears genuinely proud of their station, as well they should be. HIGHLY recommended.

Paid £54 for a 15oz Steak that came with no sides! And that was for 2 people apparently. When told 30 minutes after that it comes with no sides, I asked for a menu to order some. There was no waiter that could assist me after 5 minutes of putting my hand up. By the time I got served, the steak was in front of me and we had to eat them apart. Steak had way too much salt on. They tried making it look fancy by sprinkling salt on top of an already seasoned steak. Ruined it completely.

Fairly expensive, but really nice food and a great atmosphere. The beef tartare was amazing, but the bluefin tuna dish was quite bland, which I didn't expect for such a rich fish. The whole squid was really nice and the array of sides (fries, beetroot, leeks, tomato salad) were all delicious. Would definitely go again, if just for the orange cream filled choux pastry!

Visited Asador 44 for a Birthday with family. I did not disclose this when booking but requested the suckling pig if possible. Was delighted with the result. They took note when I booked & delivered. Ambience, service & food outstanding. They had ensured the suckling pig was available & it did not disappoint. Exceptional. I have never tasted such well cooked meat & crackling, The service was also great, and if the waiter was unsure about the wines, he sought advice & did not “wing it”. Honest friendly service & a great meal. Would highly recommend & will definitely revisit. Restaurants of this calibre are very rare anywhere in the world. Had a very happy birthday….thanks Asador 44.

Eaten here a number of times now. The restaurant has a very relaxed feel but the service is excellent. The staff have great knowledge of all the food and drinks and have often gone with their recommendations which have never disappointed. The food is great quality, prepared well and often appears simple but you can taste all the effort that has gone in to create fantastic dishes. The sharing pork and lamb dishes have been some of the best meat I have eaten in a long time but have been equally impressed by fish we have had. Not an everyday eat as you pay for such quality but well worth it.

Great place to go for a really nice meal. The food is amazing! The staff are great, especially if you like to be served and left alone. I do get the sense that they have been trained to ask if you're celebrating something special, but they take no further interest when you say the occasion you are celebrating. But that is fine if you just want to enjoy the company of the person you came with 😆 great wine recommendations, and they are very knowledgeable about the food!

Lewis was a fantastic host, as were the other staff members who served us. Stayed at the accompanying hotel Parador 44 a few times and that is excellent too (honesty bar and terrace is intimate and relaxing, plus breakfast is awesome). No doubt will return to stay and eat again. Had lunch in the nearby sister tapas restaurant Bar 44 yesterday, which was also a joy. This company just have it right.

This restaurant came highly recommended, but to be honest the food was nothing to write home about. Who ever had steak and chips (500G Sirloin £54.00) without the option of a green salad, or a simple coleslaw? ( Tomato salad £7.50 !!!) My expectation of any restaurant is that the food presented is better than I can cook at home, that then makes the cost acceptable and reasonable. I’m afraid the food, whilst good, was certainly no better than a home cook can produce. The service was pleasant and prompt.

My partner and I came to celebrate my birthday. I’m a big fan of Bar 44 food which has the same owners, so I was keen to try Asador 44. The service, atmosphere and drinks were all really great. I had a delicious spicy margarita and my partner had a smoky cocktail that I don’t remember the name of. The starters were also really good, we had the prawn croquetas and the scallops, the latter of which was the stand out for me. Unfortunately we were really disappointed with the steak, which was the real reason we came. We went for the dry-aged Welsh sirloin sharer, which was the most expensive one on the menu I think (I just remember it being pretty pricey but not entirely sure of the exact price). The steak itself was very chewy and fatty, and so by the time you’d cut off the fat the serving size was actually quite small, and wasn’t really enough for two. It didn’t come with any sauce, so we asked for some salsa verde which the waiter ran to get us. We also ordered a size of chips and the leaks. Chips were delicious but not really enough for two and the leaks were ok but not worth the price in my opinion. For the price, I was expecting a really top quality main meal and neither of us felt that the quality or quantity was worth the price. We definitely didn’t come away feeling full but couldn’t justify spending more money. Overall, great for drinks but I think its sister restaurant Bar 44 is much better for food and cheaper too!

As seen on a Fred Siriex prgramme. Looked and sounded really good. Annivers ary and in Cardiff so gave it a punt. What a good choice. Friendly and approachabel staff. Food presented and deliverd professionally. Great selection bu tall three coupes went for the leg of lamb sharing option (no imagination). Starters were realay different and extremely tasty. TYhe mains cam eup with a few sides, which were also relaly good. Would have preferred mash or scalloped or even dauphinoise, but the 'fries' were good. We all struggled to clear the plates as th eportons were very good and the lamb just fell off the bone. Only teo of us had desserts. I went forthe baana one which cam eup looking like rashers of bacon with two small eggs on top. Clever, witty and so very tasty.I know Imade the best choice. Not teh cheapest of restaurants but if you want good food and excellent service it is well worth it. A great evening and a good way to celebrate 33 years.

We ordered multiple starters which were delivered almost immediately, and the ex-dairy sharing steak for a main (with sides of course!) and everything was brilliant. Honestly cannot fault this place, the view into the kitchen was also a lovely touch to see how everything functioned! Will be returning ASAP.

When asked if everything was ok mentioned to our server steak was tough. She said she would inform chef. Who knows? Probably not chefs fault but d source of meat? bad batch? Anyway disappointing. Would have waited for a response but had travel plans and couldn’t hang around. Shame 😏🍻

This is an old favourite of my wife and I’s anyway but every time we come it seems to improve and we find something new to obsess over on the menu. This time the wild mushroom croquetas as a special snack we’re so good we had to order a second plate. The sharing welsh bone in sirloin is top quality meat from meatmatters and you can see why it is slightly more expensive than its Spanish counterpart but worth every penny. The charred leeks and broccoli sides really elevated the meal and the mango, chilli and lime sorbet really was a life changing experience. The service is always spot on with friendliness, professionalism and knowledge at the forefront of everything they do. I never need another excuse to come here, but every time I do I feel it improves. So lucky to have a restaurant of this quality in Cardiff.

What a treat. Food was superb, service brilliant and a great atmosphere. Busier than we expected for a Monday lunchtime but having thoroughly enjoyed our visit we can understand why Asador 44 is so popular.

Incredible food. Steaks were superb and there was plenty of choice for non meat eaters. Service was impeccable. A great evening out to celebrate.

Me and my partner came here over the weekend for our anniversary, going to a place like here with that sort of price for food isn’t a common thing for us. We came here very excited as it was recommend to us. As soon as we walked in my partner had a monster can in his hand, the manager (I assume) instantly charged over saying “you can’t bring alcohol here” to not say hello first or even looking at what my partner was holding before making assumptions, didn’t set a good impression for us, so instantly we didn’t feel welcome. The manger apologised once he knew what the can was. The restaurant was beautiful and well taken care of. The food is the reason why we were there and also the reason why we are never going back. I had the scallops and he had the beef tartare for starters, mains we shared the steak, with a side of chips. All of the food lacked in any sort of flavour and very small portions for the price. I wouldn’t have minded the small portions if the food was heaven, but it wasn’t, I am not a someone who knows anything about cooking but I at least know how to season food. I believe this place may have been amazing a while ago but I think now they are making everything expensive to make you think that the food is good when it is not. We have learned a valuable lesson at this place and that is just because a restaurant has Michelin stars doesn’t mean they are consistent with them. Last note is that the morning after me and my partner were very unwell after eating here this was the last meal we had that day, we believe it was the tartare.

Great restaurant. Smart, friendly and intelligent service is coupled by a simple but mouth watering menu. The food was well presented in time and was simply delicious. If only more restaurants could be like this. Well done Asador 44, next time I’m in Cardiff you will be my first choice.

Went for a family lunch, for what we paid for the four of us, we should have had top end food. Sadly it wasn't, the sharing steak was tough, the Tuna was badly presented and greasy. The sides are just not worth the money and not very good at all. It was a special occasion for us and we will NEVER return. Poor.

Must be one of the best places for food in Cardiff. We shared an amazing piece of beef from a retired dairy cow. Really great flavour.

We hired the function room upstairs for our annual meeting for my company employees etc. It is a fabulous room, ideal with great views. An excellent screen and it's easy to screen share from your device and also a great sound if you needed to play any training videos. We were warmly welcomed and everyone was very accommodating. The caterer was so lovely we felt looked after, with tea, coffee, and water served all day, bacon rolls in the morning, and a delicious hot and cold buffet lunch. It is such good value for money and would beat anywhere else around Cardiff on price. If you need to hire this room for a meeting, I can highly recommend.

Sunny's Street food is my go-to when I want to treat myself. I always get the burrito, it's delicious, comes as a large portion and gets delivered on time or early. Once I ordered the wrong burrito and they rang me to check if it was a mistake (which it was), the staff working there are super sweet. Would highly recommend xx

Nipped in for breakfast and we were not disappointed. Both had the classic breakfast and the bacon was properly cooked (without having to request it like a lot of places), the BBQ beans cracking and the hash browns properly crispy as they should be. Very decent coffee as well. (They were also good enough to sneak me a side from the lunch menu even though we arrived around 11) Really lovely staff - have already recommended it to numerous social circles and will 100% be back for dinner once they're back on the 12th Jan after Xmas shut down.
