Cosy Corner Lounge in Bridgend

We had been here for lunch today. 6 of us. Was impressed with the quick & efficient service. Always with a smile. Food was good too. Portion sizes were quite big. Pricing is a bit on the higher side. We definitely enjoyed the food

A fabulous little restaurant on the seafront at Porthcawl. A nice ambience and rustic, lively feel inside. The menu is a very clever twist on Asian tapas dishes. Some of these dishes are quite unique and unlike anything I’ve tried in the past. The owner has put a lot of thought in to this. On the night we were there she was working so hard in the kitchen. Service was good and the waiters were pleasant and knowledgeable. Overall, a fantastic experience with tasty, unusual dishes at a reasonable price. Probably the best restaurant in the Town. We will return soon.

A gem in Porthcawl!!! We used to live in Asia and struggle to find authentic, good quality south East Asian food in the UK; however, the Cosy Corner has it all! It’s definitely not a cheap eat, but the cost is fair considering the excellent quality of food and service.

Delicious food, excellent service, and a nice vibe. Lots of choice on the menu. Definitely recommend.

Can’t praise this place highly enough! The food is amazing, lots of choice of interesting and scrumptious Asian-inspired small plates, with tons of options for all dietary preferences and really generous portions. The Korean Cauliflower is to die for. As are every single one of the cocktails, which are utterly unique and delicious. They love to add a bit of Asian spice, and the Mango and Chilli margarita didn’t disappoint. But then neither did the Raspberry & Elderflower fizz, so if you’re not a fan of heat there are still plenty of amazing options! Every cocktail is a little work of art too - no need for loads of ostentatious garnishes, just beautiful vibrant colours and patterns to go with the fabulous flavours. The customer service is perfect, staff are friendly, knowledgeable, professional and polite - but not intrusive. And the beautiful decor and setting by the sea give it a gorgeous ambience, whether you’re outside or in. It never disappoints.

Managed to get a last-minute table here was recommended this by a friend of mine so had to try it whilst I was in Porthcawl. It was extremely busy, however, the staff were very professional always smiling and happy to help. Brilliant choice on the menu lots of different things on there but couldn’t resist the roast dinner. beautifully cooked and a cheeky cocktail. It is a little bit expensive but you get what you paid for. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. will definitely be back.

My friends and I recently had Sunday lunch here. I chose the beef roast, which typically doesn’t come with stuffing, unlike the chicken option. However, I requested that my beef roast include stuffing, as I really enjoy it with my Sunday dinner, and I was willing to pay extra for it. Unfortunately, the waitress politely declined, stating that it wasn’t possible to add stuffing to the beef roast because it would leave one of the chicken dishes short. This response seemed a bit rigid to us. We felt it would have been more appropriate for the waitress to check with the kitchen before making a decision at the table. That aside, the food was excellent and full of flavour, and we all enjoyed our meals. While the prices are slightly higher compared to nearby eateries, the quality is noticeably better. This is an honest review of my experience. I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to the inflexibility regarding my request. I hope the restaurant takes note of the importance of customer service and makes an effort to accommodate reasonable requests, as this is crucial to maintaining a leading position in the area.

We booked for Sunday Lunch, fabulous walk up in the sun, lovely welcome and great staff, Starters and Mains absolutely superb thoroughly recommend thank you

What an Amazing place, so different to anything else in area, setting very high standards it’s hard to beat in Porthcawl !! With incredible food cooked to perfection by Sophie and her staff with a fantastic selection of dishes from all over the world 🙌 The staff are excellent and make you feel very welcome, with excellent knowledge of the food & wine, offering recommendations and guidance when asked. Out of the 7 dishes we had last night it was very difficult to pick a favourite as they were all so good, but the crispy cauliflower and kimchi fried rice were exceptional !! Can’t wait to come back 😋

Elliott makes the best cocktails.

Excellent place for a Sunday lunch. Great service and a quality roast with a difference. Would highly recommend. Only tip would be they clean the large glass windows at front as it looked a but run down when entering building only to see how great it looks inside.

Not one to leave a review, but myself and the partner have visited Cosy Corner several times over the past few months, and have finally decided to pop our feelings down after visiting with friends. Firstly, the cocktails here are very much worth travelling for. The menu changes fairly regularly, and always has a very good variety, including some non-alcoholic options. The bar staff are more than happy to cater for some off-the-menu requests, too - and we couldn’t fault the service. Secondly, the food is definitely worth writing about. The meat options are phenomenal, with imaginative and tasty dishes that are ideal for sharing. The vegetarians within the group aren’t left out, too, with some fantastic veggie choices on the menu. Thirdly, the atmosphere in cosy corner is relaxing and easy going. The staff are very welcoming, and it’s very easy to sit down at one of their tables and feel like a welcome guest. The staff are very attentive, even during busy periods, and I wish I could remember our server’s name - but she served us without fault on a busy Saturday evening. It’s worth noting that myself, my partner and my friends felt very safe here, and trust the staff to look out for their customers when it becomes too busy - I’d definitely recommend booking ahead! Their drink recommendations are really good, too!

I have had some great Sunday lunches at this place. The staff are very professional in their roles. The cocktails are amazing, a "real cocktail" I would like to thank Lewis and I thoroughly enjoy the ambience

I telephoned the evening before to book for Sunday Lunch for 5 people, I spoke to a lady who was extremely helpful and patient. She took a while to see where we could be accommodated but I was very pleased when she managed to slot us in on a busy day. We arrived a little early and it wasn’t a problem for them. Very friendly and attentive staff. Our food arrived without a long wait and it was excellent, best Sunday Lunch we’ve had! I look forward to visiting again.

We continue to be amazed by the quality of the food here! Such a creative Asian fusion concept, without compromising on the quality of the Asian flavours. Fresh ideas fairly frequently as well. Lovely ambience and right by the Porthcawl sea front as well which makes for a beautiful walk before/after a wonderful meal here. :)

Great restaurant and bar!! Would definitely go back next time I'm in the area. Catered well for a large group of 7 and the food and drinks came very quickly too. The food was delicious!! The kimchi rice and korean chicken were our favourites. Absolutely great! Highly recommend!

By far the best restaurant in the area. Food is always brilliant & well thought of. Staff are knowledgeable and attentive, will return as often as possible.

A strange afternoon in this bar. Went with family and friends and ordered some cocktails and a verbal fight almost physical broke out between three men. The bar didnt intervene and we left soon after as my baby woke up and felt uncomfortable. Never witnessed something like that in a bar and especially on a Sunday afternoon with children around. I did receive a refund for my cocktail as only had one sip and couldn’t finish so I respected that but I did have to ask for that. It was a disappointment as first time there and sadly won’t be returning as I think it’s unacceptable for adults to behave like that in any space

Honestly, some of the best food I've eaten in a very long time. Why I haven't been before I don't know, but we'll certainly be coming back. Super attentive service from the moment we arrived and staff were excellent. Cannot fault it at all, would highly recommend to everyone!

Everything would have been 5 stars but our two meals were served several minutes apart, also the coffee was not to the same standard as the food. But we would not hesitate to return. Lovely staff.

Absolutely fantastic find! We visited with our dog and they accommodated us at such short notice. Even brought out a bowl of water for the dog. Food was excellent, friendly staff and the waitress who served us was fantastic explaining all the dishes and recommendations. Will definitely be returning and recommending to all.

Good views of Porthcawl bay from a classy restaurant

It is what it says. it's a cosy place to be. Food is excellent, and the options available frequently change. Good range of beers and wines. Space is somewhat limited, I guess that's what makes it cosy. It's dog friendly too.

Had lunch there service was excellent and food also excellent had a lovely time will definitely go there again very friendly staff and found restaurant very relaxed

Lovely evening. Welcoming and friendly staff. The food was out of this world. I’d recommend the pork belly. It’s the best I’ve tasted. Good atmosphere with background music at the right volume to have conversations. Would recommend

Had Sunday lunch today 18th February 24 Absolutely gorgeous food !!!! staff very polite asked for extra carrots and they did just that every was hot except the room it was cold in there . We sat in front of the Bar and the Draft from the doors was cold on the legs . It is warmer towards the back by kitchen. Can't fault the food . We hope this helps the owners thanks

Fantastic. Squeezed us in last minute as we hadn't booked. Service and food both amazing. Would recommend to anyone.

Sunday lunch at this lovely place is probably the best I've ever had,I didn't want it to end,lots of care went into the food,service was superb also, great experience, get there and be spoilt!Fantastic Cosy team well done!

Closed without notice after booking a slot at 1pm for Sunday dinner. No notifying us, nothing online or on Facebook. Poor.

Great welcome on arrival and a drinks order taken and received soon after. The menu had plenty of options for various dietary needs within our party. The food was delicious, hot and good portions. Never been a fan of the modern cocktails served at ridiculous prices without a hint of alcohol, however the ones served to us were excellent and our choices were not on the cocktail menu. The waitress and bar staff were very polite and courteous and looked after us during our four hour stay. We will definitely be returning.

Another fabulous meal at our favourite restaurant. The staff were superb & made our evening special. Many thanks.

Fabulous lunch , great atmosphere, staff super polite and quick, thank you Taylor . We had crispy beef and chicken skewers and the cauliflower, all absolutely divine , tasty and hot, suoberb chef , mulled wine warming in the background , lovely . My first time there but not my last . Thank you 🌸

Were greeted very promptly by a very nice and polite lady Drinks were good And the food was absolutely beautiful 😍. Was great from start to finish.. Definitely recommend this place and definitely would go back

Super quality food Excellent service Will definitely be booking again Will be recommending to friends and family A’+++++

Another great visit to the CCL…Lovely chilled “Saturday Night” atmosphere and the place was full. Taylor and the team doing an excellent job at front of house. Great cocktails from Leo and Chelsea. Our order included Salmon, Pork and Mussels to name a few. The Salmon was beautifully cooked with a great Miso fish sauce and spinach. The pork was tender, meaty and juicy in a lovely soy sauce, whilst the Mussels were delicious in a spicy broth…great with those fantastic, super crispy and crunchy fat chips! The Lunch menu is different and equally as good so there’s no bad time to go between Thursday and Sunday, indeed CCL’s Sunday Roast Chicken remains our number one Sunday Lunch, followed by that other gem, The Black Rabbit!

To busy could not find a table.

Been here before and love the innovative and tasty tapas style menu. Good service, friendly staff very reasonable prices. When we were there the restaurant was busy but service was prompt and attentive.

Absolutely gem, food was great and well priced. A new favourite 😍.

Best place in town by a mile and the Sunday lunch is something else 10/10

We had beer and cocktails this visit, amazing cocktails and they don't mind tweeking them to your palette. If you are in the area a must visit 🙂. On previous visits the food is amazing 😍

What a little gem! Fabulous selection of really tasty dishes, tapas-style. Friendly staff, good selection of drinks and cocktails. A great find. It’s popular so worth booking.

Welcoming staff. Beautiful flavours to all the dishes we ordered. We both thought the meal was excellent. Will return very soon.

Lovely food not had one bad meal very friendly

Excellent food, service, value and location. Had 4 plates, drinks and tip £50!!! Already planning next visit!

17 of us had food and drinks here last Saturday night. Asian style tapas was absolutely fantastic, such a different mix of tasty and well put together food. Highlight was probably the tempura cauliflower which is something I never thought I’d say! Chicken skewers were amazing, so was everything else to be honest. Service and drinks were great, really attentive and helpful. Can’t recommend enough

Fantastic food we have 5 veggie plates . All full of flavour and some of nicest dishes ever eaten. In particular the Tempura avocado with spicy sauce , crispy tofu with chilies/ spring onions and smoked new potatoes were delicious .

Good food absolutely delicious, went for supper, menu a little confusing, dishes too big for tapas but too small for main and no vegetables (except potatoes or chips as a side) so had to order vegetable main. Brilliant atmosphere and great food!

Such a lovely restaurant where the chef really care about food. Bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. Unbeatable views! Perfection on a plate!!!

Food is fantastic, staff are extremely helpful we had a wonderful night celebrating our 35th anniversary, thank you xxx

Lovely afternoon here food service lovely atmosphere will be back.

Don’t be fooled by the exterior. this is a gem if a restaurant.The front looks like an ordinary cafe/food on the waterfront and is not a restaurant I would have walked into without booking. The furniture inside is quite functional , the food however is delicious.It is tapas style (multiple shared dishes) and has a great deal of variety. You cannot bring you own wine and pay corkage which I think is a shame given its limited wine list. My only criticism would be that unlike tapas restaurants in Spain, you cannot order fish dishes first and then meat etc. It comes as it is prepared and pretty much all at once. I suspect this is due to its size and staffing/inventory. It does make re-ordering difficult as you have to wait your turn in order of service

Probably the best roast I've ever had. Absolute love went into both of our dishes, 10/10.

Fantastic food, drinks and service!

The food was good as was the service although they were small plates some of them could have been a little bigger the cauliflower was the show stopper

Have eaten here numerous times now and cannot fault it. We love this place. The food is simply amazing, have never had a bad menu item, most recently the beef croquettas were sublime, as we're the crab cakes. The drinks are well thought out and made beautifully. The staff are so friendly, and the lady who.seems in.charge of the servers is fantastic.

Best roast dinner I've ever had 👌

Unreal Asian tapas on a Saturday night in the front window with views of the sea. Clwb on tap was a bonus.

Lovely Sunday lunch, first class service as we were limited to time thank you

Definitely one of the best sunday lunches we have had , loved the parsnip puree and beef was so tender definitely be going back even if its 30 min drive , staff gave excellent service to 👍👍👍

Had Sunday lunch at the Cosy Corner on Easter Sunday. It was absolutely gorgeous. Every item on the plate was really tasty. The staff were really attentive and very pleasant. It was a great experience. I would definitely recommend for a really tasty roast dinner. Amazing.

We don't come here often enough, but when we do, it never disappoints. Food is amazing (Belly Pork is a real winner), wine is very good (Argentinian Malbec is really nice), and all set in a relaxed, well run, attentive environment.....whats not to like?!

Visiting from london and didn’t think we were going to find anything decent to eat (other than average pub food or fish chips) but came across this place and it was fab! Service was great and very friendly, nothing a problem, dodd welcome and tapas dishes were well sized. Beautiful spot if its sunny too!

Fantastic delicious food and cocktails. Best restaurant in porthcawl and we go there regularly. . Staff always welcoming and efficient. We had the beef Poke bowl and porn star martinis.

Amazing food, the best around Excellent service. The staff are amazing.

Went for lunch which was very pleasant and enjoyable. Tapas style menu gives flexibility to ordering with a good range of options and drinks. Staff helpful and attentive. Food freshly prepared in semi visible kitchen served promptly. Very reasonable prices, will definitely go again.

Far exceeded our expectations with regards to quality and atmosphere. Fantastic Sunday roast with creative Asian starters (tempura broccoli and gochujang cauliflower). The vegan choice of pad thai was a little rogue and didn’t fit the standard of the meat and vegetarian Sunday roast mains but overall an excellent place to relax with the family. Good coffee and beer. Check out nearby Rest Bay to see some gnarly surfers 🤙🌊

Lovely food, great service, certainly deserves another visit!

An absolutely top notch Sunday lunch. Had the beef and not disappointed. Very good serving size as well for the money. Think it was £15. Highly recommended and will return

We have visited cosy corner frequently since it opened, everything is incredible. Delicious high quality fresh food, with a ever changing menu, beautiful wines & best cocktails around!! Service is always spot on!! Can’t recommend them enough

Amazing food, amazing cocktails and amazing service! Definitely worth a visit for tapas and cocktails! Book ahead as it’s a small venue but full of charming features!

Sat outside in the sunshine.Very pleasant.

Absolutely ✅️ 💯 fantastic! Great atmosphere, fantastic staff

Popped in on a Sunday afternoon (unfortunately they'd stopped serving food) and ended up staying for quiet a few drinks. Good choice of beers, wines, cocktails. Really friendly service, great atmosphere and good music. Loads of dogs around which made it even more enjoyable. Can't wait to go back to try some of the food Update: managed to return and the food was excellent. Loved the Lechon Kewali (fried pork) and the fried squid Another update: best bar in Porthcawl, no question

Cozy Corner? More like A Riotous Assembly! We had dinner with friends and walked in to a cacophony of noise, normal conversation was impossible... However, the waitresses were excellent and the food was good and quick to arrive once ordered..

Amazing food, amazing cocktails.

We had walked passed the Cosy Corner a number of times but never at a meal time. Yesterday we made a point of being in Porthcawl at lunch time so we could enjoy a meal there, we were not disappointed. The service was first rate...

Delicious food, lovely wine, relaxing setting and attentive staff …all fabulous! Thank you Cosy Corner we’ll be back soon!

Great friendly restaurant with good food and great waitress service! Worth a visit, great menu choice of Asian tapas dishes.

Best Sunday lunch we've ever had. Wow, from start to finish the food was absolutely amazing. Everything was so tasty and cooked to perfection. The flavours of every single thing on the plate where just out of this world. Generous portions and plenty of variety on the plate. Great service and fairly priced. My only complaint would be the lack of desserts, only one dessert on the menu and no ice cream for the children. Definitely worth a visit but need to book in advance.

We called here for a meal & were happy with meal & drinks. As with Porthcawl, it’s slightly clicky, & outsiders stick out, but value for money, & no drunken chavs about.

New to Tripadvisor , but not new to this bar and restaurant which we have frequented over the last few years. Today we went for Sunday lunch for the first time since C19 struck and I can honestly say it was the best Sunday dinner...

We had an amazing lunch with the finest and wonderfully fresh food. With young children feeling very welcome the service was outstanding. Cannot wait to get a chance to go again...

Some amazing cocktails here, came to try some, stayed to have them all.. the food ain’t half bad either! Definitely gonna become a regular!

Absolutely great Cosy corner wonderful food, wonderful staff I just wish we lived closed so we could eat there more often. Anybody reading this review should visit the Cosy corner you won't be disappointed.

Cracking atmosphere and service, food was great too.

I went on Saturday morning and opted for the veggie breakfast,even though I'm not a vegetarian! So glad I did,everything was delicious,with the potato rosti and veggie sausage particular stand outs for me. Staff were pleasant and attentive 🙂 Advise anyone to give it a...

Cool little bar for a romantic evening

Fantastic breakfast, courteous staff and management. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Great place for food, drinks or just watching the world go by

Wow!!! We visited for breakfast and it was exceptional, I had the avocado on sourdough with poached egg, my husband had the veggie breakfast and our son had the blueberry pancakes. All meals were outstanding and the best pancakes I’ve ever tasted ( I couldn’t...

Excellent service, lots of unusual dishes to try. Good cocktails.

All good todaywith brill patio and excellent staff, only gripe today was the beers not cold enough in this mini heatwave, staff resolved for us with no hesitation, Well recommended Keep up the great work girls (and guy) 👍

Outstanding lunch tapas. My wife's favourite cocktails in Porthcawl

Firs my 2nd day after a long time, coffe was ok bit not much of a breakfast option. Some of the staff were over confident

Best breakfast I've ever eaten out - fabulous!

Fabulous meal, really enjoyable new menu, definitely recommend visit 👌

Food was lovely visited a week ago! Great atmosphere will be heading back with the family again soon.

Always enjoy it here when we're in porthcawl

Nice place good food pleasant staff
