Cafe Rio in Pembrokeshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A direct message has already been sent to this place about my experience and no response has been received as yet (nearly 2 weeks later). First of all this place used to be great…great coffee, friendly staff, great food. With this in mind, my friend and I thought Cafe Rio would be a cosy place for our heart to heart chat, Now on entry it smells and feels grubby. My initial Americano was bitter and filmy on top, just awful so I sent it back, this was replaced with a much smoother cup. My friend and I ordered the breakfast Cinnamon toast with bacon and maple syrup for £6.95. It arrived: and how disappointing -two pieces of bread, two tiny pieces of streaky bacon and a bowl of syrup. The bacon was over cooked and black in places and the bread was completely soggy and soaked in grease and syrup. We both felt sick after attempting to eat half of it, so we left it and carried on with our chat. On leaving we both decided we would privately message the place about the standard of food and see what the response would be, rather than just leaving a bad review on here. As yet neither of us has even received an acknowledgement of our complaint let alone a personal response. It’s a shame as I felt this was a place you could rely on.

Start with positive, food was of a high standard and decent portions. Negative, service was shocking. Waiting for an hour which was disappointing as plenty of staff and the cafe not busy. This isn't really acceptable when children in our party.

Decided to head to cafe Rio today for a quick bit of lunch, nothing too complicated to put together, a cappuccino and a panini with tortillas. The cappuccino turned up promptly but after half an hour and still no food I decided that I'd waited long enough and got up to request my money back and to leave, at which point the food conveniently turned up. Reason for the delay......"We're very busy today"! Well sorry apology not accepted, the place was half empty (I counted the tables). So I elected to turn my 'sit in' to a takeaway and I won't be back

Lovely little spot for lunch. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and great food. Like how you choose from a long list of ingredients for a baguette/panini to make it just the way you want it

Another amazing Moroccan tapas evening. Food was amazing as always especially the beef and butternut squash tagine and fruity cous cous. Never disappointed. Can't wait to come back

Stumbled across Cafe Rio whilst looking for somewhere for lunch - and so glad we did! Lovely atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff, and the food was delicious. Generous portions and very reasonably priced. Lots of variety on the menu and nice selection of olives cheeses cakes etc at the counter. Plenty of vegetarian options on offer. I had quiche of the day (squash courgette and pepper) - it came with a great selection of salads and bread. Husband had a vegan burger and chips - that was delicious too. All homemade. Finished off with coffee and cake. Can’t recommend enough. We will definitely be back!

To be honest we couldnt fault the meal we ordered. It was hot, tasty, and the flavours took us back to the Greek islands. Generous portions for a meze and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpfull. Will I go back. I certainly will.

A really great independently run cafe. We will definitely visit again soon. Huge selection, friendly, organised staff, nice atmosphere and really welcoming. I had quiche which came with various side salads and bread. My husband had Chicken curry from the specials board. Empty plates from both of us - food was really good. Not rushed, comfortable seating, service speedy, toilets clean.

Two visits, coffee and lunch. Lunch - slightly reduced selection as had run out of items for lunch but found something to have. Coffee - again could have been a better selection of cakes on the counter, no doubt this will pick up Well recommended

Really enjoyed the World Food Tapas - a great selection and all very tasty. Slightly overpriced but generous portions (£7.50 per tapas dish). The chocolate brownies and house red are divine.

Visited for family lunch, we visited Cafe Rio for the first time a couple of years ago when staying in the area and visited Haverford West, we enjoyed it then so paid another visit in September 2029 for Lunch. Not disappointed, good selection of food and drinks, COVID measures in place so capacity did seem less than last visit but didn't spoil our visit. Nice atmosphere, staff where friendly, will be back next time we are in the area.

What a shame usually a great place but, Greek night I ordered mackerel and was served white bait.... eyes everywhere, not the same at all. I was informed sorry this was the replacement and should have been told, after saying I couldn't eat this I was not offered a replacement. .... thank god for the house wine (this was delicious) on to the dessert chocolate fudge cake hmmmmmm more like chucky biccy hard dry and choking if you havent got a drink to go with it!!!!!!!! The bill for 4 people cake to 80 quid for medioka bits and Bob's not resteraunt style at all but prices to match

On holiday and visited here today for lunch with my husband and black lab. Really nice place with a great menu. My husband had a mixed platter of meats and cheeses, and I had a falafel salad - the best falafel I’ve tasted in ages and an interesting and varied salad, as opposed to just having a few random leaves. Cakes looked fab but too full after what we’d ordered! Would definitely recommend 😊

Found this little place by accident whilst looking for somewhere to eat. It is fabulous! Had the lunch special and so very impressed with the food. The service is great despite having to limit staff/customers and all the extra cleaning due to the pandemic. Will be telling family/friends about this little gem and we will be back! Thank you for a fabulous meal at a fantastic price!

We popped in at 11.15 this morning and was taken to a table, we filled out a covid form and went to view the menu as instructed which in my mind was far too close to a family sitting at the table in front of it. We both ordered breakfasts and were told there were no sausages but could have extra bacon or spanish sausage. We opted for one of each. Out drinks arrived, again in my mind the waitress leaned far too far over the table and had no PPE on at all, she then cleaned another table by wiping it over with a damp cloth. She didnt have any spray with her and didnt do chairs. Breakfast arrived, both had Soanish sausage, I really cant eat it. The waitress apologized and took it away. When she returned I noticed the overcooked scrambled egg was impregnated with spanish sausage juice and the plate was covered in it too. She apologised again and took it away. I opted for a toasted tea cake which wasnt really what I wanted. She said there was a new chef! The meal itself was poor, the bacon was streaky and the handle on my teacup was cracked right through. Although the waitress was very pleasant sadly we wont be returning.

We ordered takeaway Spanish tapas to help our favourite cafe during the pandemic. Prices had gone up since the last time we had tapas at Cafe Rio and we thought this might be reflected in the portion sizes, but sadly not. Dishes were around £7.25 each so we ordered 4 to share between 2 adults. Whilst the food was stunning, it just wasn't enough and we wished we'd ordered 6 dishes. I'd be happy to pay £20 a head for eat-in tapas but not for takeaway. Still, businesses have been terribly affected by Covid so I'm hoping enough people have supported Cafe Rio to keep it open for the long term. We will definitely return once your doors are open but might not have takeaway again on account of the price.

Had the Spanish tapas to takeaway and were not disappointed. We had previously had the Moroccan tapas here and these were just as good. From ordering and picking up service was as amazing as in the cafe. Love Cafe Rio and can't wait to eat here again.

The place was very busy when we came in - which is always a good sign! We had a jacket potato and the Beef Chilli (a special) - it was lovely. Very friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended for a bite for lunch.

I haven’t visited for the last couple of years, but Cafe Rio was as good as I remember. We were lucky to be able to sit by the fire on a cold day. I think the heat probably didn’t reach the rest of the restaurant as we were going to sit at another table, which was rather cold. Our food arrived quickly and was hot and well presented.

I want to be as positive as I can as I must stress I’m only reviewing the breakfast since we’ve only been here once. The rest of the menus that we saw looked very appetising with plenty of choice. We came for breakfast and chose the full Welsh breakfast. The venue itself is very cosy and attractive. We were asked when ordering whether we’d like white or brown bread and chose the latter. Breakfast does not include tea or coffee. When the food arrived we had been given not brown bread but toasted white baguette type bread, but we didn’t like to complain. We weren’t asked if we’d like sauces so I had to go up and get these later from the counter. The server did say she’d bring us an extra fried egg as the ones we had on our plate were very small. This was her suggestion, not ours. I then realised that we hadn’t been given a choice of egg. Normally we don’t eat fried egg. The bacon and sausage was delicious but with only four small pieces of mushroom each, this aspect was disappointing. I’m sure this cafe does better usually, as we’ve heard good things about it.

Very expensive & grubby looking. Food not worth the money. Also very slow service. Shame as used to be good a while ago when I last visited.

Came her for lunch Saturday , food was tasty and decent portions , safe where friendly , and the the service was quite efficient. We shared a platter and everything was really good. Will definitely return.

The staff were helpful and friendly, and despite being a busy lunchtime the food was brought out quickly. I would prefer a menu to read at the table rather than stand by the counter overlooking a table of customers eating though. Today, I had a pannini filled with my choice of up to three fillings from an extensive selection. I also had a side of Rio Chips which although pricey at £3.00 for a small dish, have to be the best chips I have had in a very long time. Well done for providing a pot of hot water with the tea and not having to be asked to do so! It wouldn't come amiss if there was some heating in the loo though, very cold and woke me up after the relaxing warmth of the cafe.

Nice cafe, had their soup of the day. It was delicious. A bit too much in the bowl. Nice deli. Coffee good too.

Called in today after hearing good things about this little hidden gem tucked down the back street - amazing food, very tasty and filling - extremely friendly staff - reasonable priced - well worth a visit 👍👍

Five of us went here yesterday evening for dinner, first time I have ever visited and was a little unsure when I was told we were going for Moroccan tapas, as didn't quite know what to expect.First the place, independent with a slightly quirky sense of character, big tables with plenty of room.Staff were lovely really friendly and helpful, explaining the food to us and advising us on how many dishes they would suggest for our party.The food itself was outstanding, freshly cooked and extremely tasty, with plenty of variety and taste for both meat eaters and veggies. I think there were about 7 different tapas selections on the menu and we went for one of each following staff's recommendation, we were a little concerned it wouldn't be enough food but we were wrong, really was lots of food, in fact so much we had no hope of eating it all and they kindly offered to box it up for us to take home. Great wines there as well, very tasty It was a little quiet there which was a real shame, I intend to go back and support Cafe Rio, as we don't have enough gems like this in Haverfordwest.

Great little cafe. Very friendly staff.. clearly hard working. Always feel welcome, have never been disappointed with the food! So fresh and homely. Love all the nick nacks for sale and plenty of crayons and colouring for my little one. Hidden gem Of Haverfordwest and always my first recommendation!

Went for family lunch after seeing good reviews. Told when ordering that food will take 20 to 30 mins which was fine with us. After 45 mins we were still waiting and were told the delay was because a new chef had just started. The place wasn't particularly busy. Staff then asked us 3 times to confirm what we had actually ordered. Food eventually arrived for 4 guests, then another 15 min wait for the 5th person to be served. Food was quite nice but nothing special. We weren't alone and a lot of other customers were delayed. All quite disorganised, shame.

Weekday lunch at Cafe Rio. Best ham omelette ever, massive amount of ''real ham''! One meringue was enough for two of us with fresh fruit. Highly recommend.

A nice selection from different countries, all well prepared and good to eat with friendly staff. We always enjoy coming here for the Friday night as well as a daytime coffee. The only grumble point was that we had the equivalent of about half a baguette which was just under £5 and rather expensive. It won't put us off though....

We have been meaning to try this place for a while now, and finally popped in today after a rather traumatic dental appt. We were greeted my happy smiling staff who answered all our questions. We ordered the Cappuccino which was nicely decorated with chocolate powder on top! The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Upon leaving we decided to get a baguette to take away to eat at home. Just finished it, and it was lovely, the baguette was light and crispy and the filling just right....one of my fillings was Stilton, and this can be over powering and its easy to put too much in, but this was just right! We will def try this place again for a proper sit down lunch. Plenty of choice whatever your taste.

Visited for lunch, the place was busy and struggling a little to keep up with demand. However while we had to wait a bit longer than we would have liked, the food was excellent and well worth it - lovely quiches and ham / egg/ chips and reasonably priced. Just need another pair of hands !

cafe Rio is situated near to the car park on the Old Quay. Although not very imposing from the outside it is definitely worth a visit. It serves a range of dishes from all over the world but mainly Mediterranean (Spanish) and Turkish. The food is freshly cooked with no chips in sight. The staff were friendly and helpful. My wife and I both had omelettes which were excellent. The cafe also sells a range of food related items from around the world. We bought mugs hand painted in Thailand, home made garlic jam (which was excellent) and Spanish orange honey. There is free wifi. The only downside was that the toilets were not very impressive and hand drying was on a single hand towel which is not very hygienic

Stupidly went to this place for lunch with friends. All I can say is waaay to expensive for what it was. We would have much preferred a baguette from Greggs! My friend was charged £2 for a can of coke!! Anyone considering this place, I’d avoid until they reduce their prices, give the place a clean, and allow you to order from your table.

Found this place on the off chance for breakfast. Fantastic coffee and great quality ingredients made for a superb breakfast-good service as well. Well worth a visit.

Great cafe lovely food, good atmosphere staff really nice. Best cafe in Haverfordwest. Will be back to check out tapas night. Cheers rio.

Went in with my wife for lunch, her ham, egg and chips was good - lovely thick chips. I went for the 'beer stroganoff with porcini mushrooms, jasmine rice and wild leaf salad'. I actually got a beef stroganoff that seemed to lack mushrooms with green beans and mashed new potatoes. Actually I didn't mind too much as the food was very good and I was happy.. Good coffee too.

We came for lunch and had to discover quite a few no no's in this cafe. Despite the staff beeing very friendly, we were put off of certain things. Both people behind the counter had a dirty appearance, wearing dirty clothes. The floor was covered in dirt, not cleaned for a while, where food is just wiped from the tables and customers walk over it. The cusion on one of the seats is ripped and needs replacing. The toilet is cold, no hand soap is available, no towel to dry hands is available. But what put us really off, was that little hair stuck in the humus of my hubbies salad. Sorry, but I think we won't come back.

Disappointed with the lunch time menu. Too expensive for a quick lunch break, wouldnt rush to return.

After reading the review on TA and seeing the photos of the food I popped in for lunch while I was in Haverfordwest. I had high hopes of a nice meal, and after looking at the various items in the deli counter and ordered a Panini with three different ingredients What arrived what such a disappointment. The ‘Panini’ was actually replaced by a long life ‘part baked’ baguette which was utterly tasteless and anaemic apart from the grill stripes. Why do restaurants think that toasting a baguette suddenly turns it into a panini? The filling was so mean, consisting of a few thin slices slices of cheese and literally four tiny pieces each of the pepper and onion I ordered. The ‘crisps’ accompaniment weren’t the hoped for nice potato crisps from the deli, they were actually tortilla corn chips. It’s not on to allow people to order something and then serve something else without comment or apology.

What a find!! After researching Tripadvisor for a good place for lunch in Haverfordwest we settled for Cafe Rio. Wow we weren’t disappointed.

Asian tapas, good food and service, at a good price. Good setting in town, and sadly one of the last few.

Wanted a nice hearty veggie breakfast with my partner on Valentine's day before headed out for a walk and to keep me going all day. Wetherspoons was closed so popped down the road a little bit to cafe rio.

Have used this cafe several times for a coffee and have loved the ambience. We decided to try their Thai Tapas evening and what a surprise! The food was excellent, as was the service, with nothing too much trouble. Would thoroughly recommend them and will definitely be visiting again for one of their themed tapas evenings!

Went here for a family meal. As soon as we got there me and others found the waitress very rude and we felt uncomfortable. 3 of us out of the party left and refused to order food due to the bad vibes we got from the members of staff. Will not be returning.

My friends and I booked our Christmas meal here last night which they are running on the Saturdays throughout December. We were not disappointed! The menu looked great and I have to say the meal itself was one of the nicest I have ever had in Pembrokeshire. I had the squash and cashew nut loaf which was served with beautifully cooked roasted root veg and greens. My friends had the turkey ballotine and the slow braised welsh beef. All meals were beautifully presented and full of flavour. Puds were excellent too. Our complements to the chef and I would thoroughly recommend eating in this little gem of a place.

We had ham, egg and chips and a salad. Both were fresh, good sized portions and the service was quick and friendly.

Went here today for lunch with friends. Great menu selection, in fact spoilt for choice. Friendly, helpful and attentive staff, will definitely visit again.

Last night as a family we went down to Cafe Rio and I have to say it was excellent with top quality service and food and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

We enjoyed our first visit here for goats cheese, beetroot and red onion pizza washed down with coffee and an amazing spanish hot chocolate (recommend to warm you on a cold winters day ...) soooooooooo much that we returned again for the tapas menu on Friday night and once again were treated to amazing selection of food in delightful surroundings. Extremely good value for money.

We were staying at Premier Inn in Haverfordwest and were looking at somewhere to have lunch - normally we would have gone to a Pizza Express or chain Italian (Prezzo or Zizzi) but these don't exist in Wales. We found Weatherspoons but the memories of mass produced food at other branches put us off, and we exited.

We went in search of this cafe as we had read good reviews. We were not dissappoint. The cafe had a lovely friendly atmosphere. We both had omlette with salad and we shared the best bowl of chips (they were amazing). We also had a good tasting coffee to follow. We will be returning.

Mexican tapas Friday night 6-8:30 - Very polite service, great food cooked quickly and a live band to go with.

Decided to give this place a try and even from the roadside I was impressed... Inside was even better though! The food my friend and I had was beautiful.. The side rice, crammed full of flavour and veg.. Mmm! I shall be back xx

We were staying locally and went into Haverfordwest to look at the farmers market. We found this cafe purely by accident, having been given wrong directions on how to get the the market.

Unplanned visit did not disappoint the Thai beef curry was perfect and rice done just so. Swmbos salad niciose with halumi was also spot on keep doing it guys always great food.

Stopped by for breakfast as we were passing through and range of food plus quality was really good. nice little cafe with nice staff. Pity they got one of the orders totally wrong but was corrected

I have a chronic illness so I choose my cafes carefully. I need quieter places with low lighting and quieter music and good food. Cafe Rio never disappoint. I was pleased they had oat milk as an alternative milk too. Coffee was lovely!

Brilliant. Superb spicy chicken salad and home made quiche large portions beautifully presented.friendly staff

It's not often you find restaurants with great vegan food and catering well for your veggie and meat eating friends. This is one!

I'm a l chef and food connoisseur. This is the best lunch I have had for a long time. Pembrokeshire is totally lacking in good quality dining. But this is somewhere where I would recommend. Staff were very friendly and can't fault them. Thank you ...

Went here for lunch last week with friend. Both ordered omelette with two different toppings. My friends came out after 40mins with both of our toppings in. My omelette didn’t arrive!! Went to counter to explain. Told them I needed to be back in work soon. Another 25mins later mine turned up. I told the waitress I was not happy, her reply was yeah well I have spoke to the chef and waitress at the counter, she then placed the plate down harshly. No apology from anyone. So after waiting 1hour plus I would not recommend. Also attitude of staff is shocking!!!!!

I thought I’d treat my self to a cooked breakfast prior to driving to Bristol. Breakfast and service was great only one slight criticism. I cannot stand being called ‘mate’ by people who don’t know me, especially by people younger than me (most people now) and those who are providing a paid service. As I said great breakfast but customer service needs a tweak.

Absolutely fabulous, good quality, beautifully cooked. Friendly and prompt service. Best breakfast in Wales

Had a lovely lunch, thought the menu was imaginative and the food really good. You can have coffee and delicious cake or on the day I visited they offered Asian tapas for lunch - also home made pizzas - and they now open on some evenings. Deli bit too - olives, cheeses, foody gifts. Will be back!

I travel around a lot and I always look forward to grabbing a quick lunch from this little place. The ingredients are fresh and the food tastes great. Service is great. I would recommend.

Doing a recce of the town and area, considering moving to the town.

Popped in for a coffee and as the lunch menu looked so tempting we headed back after a spot of shopping. The selection was not heavy laden with choices which was ideal for a lunch menu however they were very accommodating. The choices we made were: omelette, spicy chicken salad, ham egg and chips and a children’s meat platter. The food was fantastic and there were clean plates all round. Staff were lovely and friendly too. Definitely one to recommend for something a little different for lunch. Thank you!

Best breakfast I've had in a long time. Fresh ingredients brilliantly cooked and great coffee too. Staff were very friendly, highly recommend.

Had a lovely lunch at this well appointed café, staff very attentive and helpful food was excellent would recommend.

23 pounds for one main course & a bottle of perroni: the most expensive meal I've had this year - feel cheated

Cosy ambiance and excellent food. The staff are friendly and service good. The menu is varied and home cooked with the usual Spanish dishes and sharing platters. I have visited on a number of previous occasions and always found the food and service consistently good. On this occasion I was with a friend who was highly impressed an Will return.

Lovely restaurant. Excellent food (Spanish / Central American influenced), limited range but good wine and beer and always a good wlcome.

We went for a meal to try there burger night. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The burgers were delicious. We have struggled in the last few times to find somewhere we all like the food. We will defiently be going back everytime we are on holiday. The menus for the day time looks really nice too. The prices for the food is really good value aswell. None of the burgers were expensive very good value for money.

Best in Haverfordwest, great for affordable lunch or tea. Also good deli items for sale. Needs to make sure food continues at a high standard. Recommended.

Quite often lunch here with my wife. Noted that the service has been getting slower and the quality of the food has gone from excellent to 'ok'. Today we were served within 15 minutes, it wasn't particularly busy, but only my meal arrived, we were assured the other meal was 'on its way. Halfway through my meal I asked the waitress to hurry the other meal, nothing arrived and when I had finished my meal and coffee, we left.

This is going to be a strange review as the food was excellent and the staff are very pleasant and the service is good but it just does not seem to be structured, staff start to clear tables then start to serve customers without completing the task they starting, we sat at our table which had been used for over 15min and it was only cleared then the young man delivered our drinks. Understand it was a busy time of day and the place was full so staff were busy but this is a excellent place to eat so maybe it would be worth having extra staff during busy periods to clear the tables.

Walked in. No menus on tables, lots of chalkboards. Bit overwhelming to read all of the choices on offer! The girl with glasses behind the counter didn’t acknowledge me. I said good morning. She just carried on with what she was doing which seemed to be dropping bits of till receipt on the floor. Finally, she took my order. I asked for a receipt for just one of the items as we were paying separately. She didn’t say anything then spent an age fiddling with the till, looking in the bin, until she found the receipt! Blimey. I was losing the will to live!

Visited several times for lunch. Lovely little cafe serving a good variety of Mediterranean style food. Great atmosphere and rustic feel.

Popped in for lunch, great service and food. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Will visit again.

I feel a bit torn with this review, but in light of my most recent experience on which i feel i need to base this review, i will not be returning to this cafe . Firstly the decor is pleasant and on my first visit, so were the staff, There was a good choice of food on the menu. My husband had a full cooked breakfast and i had the veggie one. We remarked on the fact that they used fresh, local produce. We were delighted to think that we had found a local place serving good breakfast that suited both me and my husband. We returned the following week with a friend and were hugely disappointed. Our friend ordered a meal based on poached egg. When it arrived there were 2 hard, rubbery balls of egg yolk sat on the toast with a smattering of egg white scattered smong the avacado. It was inedible and i cant believe that a reputable establishment would allow food so poorly cooked to leave their kitchen and be served to paying customers. My friend politely went to the counter and asked if he could have some softer poached eggs. The waitress looked hostile and didnt apologise, she just returned the food to the kitchen and said she would ask the chef. 10 or so minutes later the chef came out with the new plate of food, he literally slammed it down in front of my friend, glared at us and stormed off. I will not be returning to be served substandard food by rude staff. Its a shame because based on our first experience i would have highly recommended a visit

Glad we searched this place out as the cake was well worth it. Spacious deli style cafe with lots of interesting foods on offer

a lovely cafe in a rather unquantifiable way: good snacks; excellent coffee; friendly service; and a few deli things which i couldn't imagine any1 going in there to buy, but my spendthrift female companion did on our visit!

Literally stumbled across this cafe earlier, called in with my family, had coffees, shakes and some baguette/panini snacks. Decor is...

Very enjoyable lunch - food excellent, staff delightful, restaurant modern, spacious and welcoming. Vegan soup and sandwiches excellent. Flapjack taken away with us and enjoyed later on. Lovely. Would recommend highly.

We ordered a selection of food from the Caribbean Tapas evening that Cafe Rio put on tonight. We shared 9 portions between the four of us which was lots for us to eat and absolutely delicious. The food tasted really fresh and authentic as well being good value to feed the whole family, and it was great to be able to try a different cuisine in Pembrokeshire. We will definitely be back soon.

I went to Cafe Rio with my girlfriend one morning for breakfast. We both had the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel with a poached egg. One of the nicest I’ve ever eaten. Lovely atmosphere and cosy surroundings.

Enjoyed a full breakfast today with the best toast ever. The whole plate was full and not a drop of grease. Tea was hot and strong and service very friendly. Can't wait to return.

I absolutely loved the food and atmosphere here, its so pretty and relaxed. The staff were excellent, happy to help and explain any dishes you weren't sure of. when the food came out it looked and tasted fresh and authentic, fab portion sizes for tapas. Will definitely be going back and would highly recommend.

We all really enjoyed eating here. The place was clean, tidy and the staff were very friendly. Would go back in a heart beat.Truth be told, I was not that fussed on going in but I am so glad that I was given no choice. Really enjoyed it. The place has a really good, warm welcoming feeling about it.

My husband and I visited for coffee and cake, which i stole off him! Was yummy!!Will defo go again but for dinner next time.

A relaxing place to have a coffee after a busy shop. I was pleased with the seating also, a choice of table, sofa or arm chairs. Very comfy arm chair I sat in. Music was also relaxing to listen to. Food was great + presented well. I like it when I'm surprised by food. Definitely recommended after being on your feet all day !

Tasty local food. Well stocked deli counter informs the best choices on the menu. Friendly staff and good selection of quality children's meals.

Visiting a cafe for the chronically ill/disabled, is something that has to be planned ahead. They have to take many things into consideration, many of which healthy people may take for granted. Cafe Rio ticks all of these boxes. Take a moment to appreciate what a chronically ill person has to consider before entering a cafe/restaurant.♿️ Getting there. Is it easy to park outside? Disabled bays?♿️ Access in and around the cafe, space to manoeuvre a wheelchair/scooter/sticks/crutches♿️ Noise levels. Background music needs to be low♿️ Lighting. Needs to be low lighting, no strip or bright spot lights.♿️ Menu must suit various dietary needs.♿️ Friendly staff. This helps with anxiety issues and communication problems.♿️ Comfy seating that has back support and easy to get in and out of.Well done Cafe Rio, top marks!

Friendly service.The menu is all home made and different.Tucked down street but worth finding .Would return

We were looked after by a very friendly and efficient member of staff called Georgi if my memory serves me.We decided on tapas and we were advised as to how many plates would be sufficient and the styles of the food I must say Georgi was spot on with her choices.We had desert and coffee and the whole experience was a pleasure.
