Having heard good comments about this venue, we had never eaten there before. A few weeks ago we visited but it was full, so we booked this week and we were not disappointed. The food was plentiful and good, and seeing it prepared was a bonus. The atmosphere was very conducive, and we had a very nice, relaxed meal. We will be back soon.

This is my favourite place for lunch in Roath. The food and service are fantastic! There is a brilliant choice of croques along with soups, quiches and specials. I have never had a bad experience here. Forget all the chains, visit Chat Noir and support a lovely independant business. See you soon! :o)

Welfield Road is a haven for foodies with some great cafes, restaurants and a lovely bakery- Ty.melin. Hidden in a small corner of Welfield Court arcade is Cafe du Chat Noir a little gem. Had an excellent lunch and coffee. Well worth a visit. Unfortunately only open for a few hours in the afternoon 4.days a week.

Went to an 'Allo 'Allo themed Cabaret and Dinner evening here and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Stuart provided delicious food with great portion size while Dorothee made sure you had great service along with Sophie. Gavin Sheppard's vocals were brilliant while Stuart and Paul's hilarious Allo Allo interludes kept us entertained between courses. All in all the evening was superb.

Without doubt the gastronomic Everest of Cardiff French cafe restaurants. Impossible to find unless you know where you are going but the journey is worth the effort. Try the Moules Mariniere for a mouth watering experience. The simple Croque is available in various guises - all amazing. The ubiquitous quiche is elevated to an art form. This is an eclectic eating hole. Opening times are dictated by whim and you never know if and when they are open. Always call ahead. Ask for Dorothy, she will make you welcome.

Absolutely love visiting Le Cafe du Chat Noir! Dorothy and Stuart make you feel welcome, the entertainment is hilarious and the food is delicious. My friends and I consider this venue a calendar highlight and try to visit every 4-6 weeks. We’ve met some lovely people, enjoyed a wide range of fabulous entertainers and an ever-evolving menu of French-themed gastronomy. Highly recommended if you enjoy taking part in the night’s entertainment and be sure to book early if you see an event you fancy!

we ended up eating here as everywhere else was full due to the 6 nations event but this fantastic little bistro is hidden away in a small arcade so luckily for us it had been missed by the masses. It is only a small establishment but wow the food is amazing and the service second to none. We ordered their version of a toasted sandwich and decided to go for the small portion and then share a portion of fries. Next time we will just order the small sandwiches with no fries as we were so full by the time we had finished, I'm not sure I would be able to finish one of their large sandwiches. Even the salad tasted amazing and my husband who usually gives me anything green on his plate commented on how delicious the salad was. We cannot wait to return and hope to sample one of their evening events asap.

Очень давно хотела пообедать тут , но не получалось из-за специфики графику работы заведения ! Но оно того стоило! Само Кафе очень уютное, с огромным количеством различных медовей в интерьере, которые придают особую атмосферу и их просто приятно и интересно рассматривать. Еда очень вкусная , порции достаточно большие (есть возможность выбрать порцию поменьше и побольше ). Само заведение находится в «секретном» уголке и сразу его не так то легко найти, но попав однажды - захочется обязательно вернуться в этот уголок Франции! Спасибо 🥰

We booked a table to celebrate my daughters birthday. We decided on the french onion soup to start. It was stunning! We moved on to the beef bourgignion for mains. The beef was so tender, it fell apart. Beautiful! No room left for dessert unfortunately, though they looked delicious! The staff were very attentive, and were all round fantastic.

Sunday dinner , really decent for the price. Imagine nana is french and has out done her self and made you her absolute finest roast dinner. Solid 8/10. Beef cooked in a traditional French style that basically melts in your mouth. (It almost feels braised rather the roasted). Cauli cheese that leaves strands of cheese mid air and you need to pull apart because cheese is the word of the day. Super homley feel with friendly personal service. You won't find a better roast dinner in Cardiff at this price point. Had two drinks a shared starter and two roast dinners at £30 . 👀👀🔥🔥 We will be back for sure

My favourite place to eat out at night in Cardiff. The atmosphere is unbeatable as you sit in the little siding of Wellfield court arcade under the lights, with potted plants and trellis' between the tables. Reminded me of sitting outside European cafes on holiday. The food is delicious, authentic, really well priced and served promptly. Their Croques are not to be missed. The staff are so friendly, up for a chat, and incredibly accommodating, they have a real passion for their cafe. They even made sure that there was a vegan option available for the day I was booking! Everyone I have taken has thoroughly enjoyed it here and insisted on going back. Would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing evening out with good food!

The quality of the coffee became better and they serve V60 now. Guys in the shop are really good. The only issue there is the shop is always smells like something moldy or musty. This makes the place not nice.
