Food was very good, excellent value for money, wine was expensive- no option for house wine, felt service could have been better. Emailed the day before in relation to our daughter being 21, wanted a little something with a candle in it, seemed like it was an effort for staff, an inconvenience. Bit disappointing- that said cannot fault the every thing else.

Years and years and years of eating Tommy's food here there and everywhere and this is one of my favourites so far. This set lunch menu is outrageously good value for cooking this food: lovely service, great cocktails and an experience to remember.

Every time I tasted something, I was absolutely mind-blown. I had a SHORT tasting menu and it had about 9 different dishes in it. I was so full by the end of it, I can’t believe someone survives the full version. I firmly believe now that the whole reason I was born and emigrated to UK is so one day I could find myself in Cardiff trying Heaneys food. No joke

Heaneys is by far is our favourite restaurant in Cardiff. It never fails to impress and wow us! Every dish is a delightful surprise, a piece of art and an experience in its own right. Staff are lovely, welcoming and very friendly and whenever our party asks for some dietary adjustments, the chef is always happy to accommodate. The restaurant offers a variety of eating options, an affordable set menu, a taster menu and a an A La Carte menu, so plenty to choose from. Till our next visit, keep the culinary creations coming please : )

I am not sure I can remember such a good lunch. And I wasn't even drinking.... The food ran that really difficult balance of being both innovative and imaginative, while at the same time being balanced complete.

Always wanted to go to Heaneys, and the £35 5 course set lunch menu deal gave us the opportunity (deal was even available on a Saturday). Fair to say it did not disappoint. Absolutely sublime from start to finish and an incredible culinary masterclass. Potato terrine and ox cheek were particular highlights but all of it was 10/10. If you get the chance to go, don’t think twice - it takes the dining experience to another level

Booking a midweek meal at a popular Michelin Guide restaurant, from bitter experience, can be hit or miss, but our visit to Heaneys in Cardiff was exceptional. Known for showcasing the finest Welsh ingredients in its tasting menu and expertly curated wine pairings, Heaneys exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, Jake, Alex, and Beth were attentive, skilfully accommodating my wife’s shellfish allergy and moving us to a more spacious table when requested. Their genuine care continued throughout the evening, with every interaction feeling thoughtful and personalised. The tasting menu was a journey of beautifully crafted dishes, each highlighting fresh, seasonal Welsh and British ingredients. The standout Isle of Wight tomato dish was a perfect example of how simplicity can be elevated, paired beautifully with a 2022 Kumusha Chenin Blanc, a wine I wouldn’t have chosen myself. The variety and balance of flavours reflected the team’s ability to turn local produce into a memorable experience. Alex’s wine pairings were equally impressive, as he introduced a diverse selection of wines from Georgia, France, and a beautiful A26 Chardonnay from Napa Valley. Each wine was thoughtfully paired, enhancing the overall dining experience. The service struck a perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, with Jake and Alex happy to discuss ingredients and techniques. The cosy, welcoming atmosphere made the evening all the more enjoyable. Heaneys is more than just a Michelin Guide-listed restaurant; it’s a must-visit destination. Whether for a special occasion or a midweek treat, the superb food, excellent wine pairings, and attentive service make it an unforgettable experience.

Having been here numerous times over the years, we visited last weekend for the 5yr anniversary of visiting the restaurant and it still is as great as I remember (we’ve been a few times between then and now). Tommy has definitely perfected what he wants from Heaneys now and you can see it since we first visited 5yrs ago. The ambience and service is wonderful and the food is just perfect. We had 1 full tasting menu and 1 short. (We shared the dishes that were in the full but not short) and it was the perfect amount. We had a couple of drinks in UISCE afterwards which just finished the night perfectly. Thanks Tommy!

Amazing tasting menu. I came on a Saturday night and only had the option to do the 8 course tasting menu for $80. Given that u came in on the earlier side for dinner, I was easily able to walk in without a reservation and it was decently quiet in the restaurant. For the tasting menu - Each dish somehow better than the last. All of the dishes were extremely well put together and had a great blend of different flavors. I ordered a beef fat miso old fashioned, highly recommend!

Firstly they would not let another person join my table of two. Thinking it must be very busy we didn't try just turning up. However when I arrived they had plenty of room and outside tables too. The amuse bouch was pleasant but my starter of crab risotto was cold tasteless and frankly unpleasant. I chose the beef but the plate was swamped by an enormous Yorkshire pudding two slivers of beef and carrots covered in fennel seeds. Unfortunately I'm not a fan of aniseed . Generally very poor standard of food and service not great. The dessert was by far the best thing a deconstructed Jaffa cake type dessert which was truly lovely. I won't be rushing back it's safe to say.

Lovely vibe here, with plenty of staff: busy but not overcrowded. Sunday lunch is superb. Anna, our waitress, was so engaging and genuinely interested in her job. Gluten free options were clearly explained and every effort had been made to adapt items by changing coatings rather than just 'leaving things out'. Fishcakes were tasty with mild curry sauce. The lamb roast was perfect size and cooked to perfection (rare lamb, just as it should be). Divine roast potatoes... Lemon posset dessert was tangy with British strawberries. This is a top notch restaurant in a trendy location, fabulous friendly service and very moderate prices. Will def. be back.

A sea trout and baked potato course arrived as a wafer-thin tartlet topped with a froth of, conceivably, spume. It was light and “er, interesting.” Our first course was a bowlful of broth with a side of super-thin slivers of duck – a quackscuttio, if you will. “There’s no right or wrong way to eat this,” said our waiter, which was good to know, especially as we’d not been given any cutlery. Dumping the duck in the broth and downing in one seemed to be the sensible approach, and it was good and meaty. As was its follow-up, the oxtail and anchovy chunklets: all gone ­without hitting the sides.

Heaneys Restaurant is a Michelin recommended restaurant in Cardiff. There is different menu variations throughout the week, including tasting menu. Went there for Sunday lunch and had the set menu. The interior is modern and simplistic, very nice. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Our waiter was Grant, he was extremely attentive and anticipated the needs of the guests. Absolute star! The food is absolutely amazing. The aged beef was so flavourful and rich, all the trimmings of the Sunday roast were perfect, had a massive Yorkshire pudding. The vegetarian sunflower seed pithivier was perfect too! The desserts were exceptional! The chocolate choux is perfection! Overall, amazing experience! Definitely recommend visiting! Thank you to the whole team!

Firstly what a warm friendly greeting from the team. We'd rang to say we may be a little late as uber after uber had let us down. We turned up 20min late which we never do i get stressed. However the lady on the phone assured me it would be alright not to worry. Once we arrived we were shown a lovely round table by the window. One of the team brought us water and explained the menu. We went for the short taster with wine for each course. Oh my what a journey! Each dish so different and delicious. Each dish a master piece. Each dish explained to us. Each wine complimented each dish. The sommelier discribed each wine in detail. Thank you for an unforgetable birthday. We will return. Karen and Dave

Came here for our 1st wedding anniversary. Excellent restaurant with Michelin star quality food and service. We had the long tasting menu and each course was delicious. My wife is lactose intolerant and they accommodated to her needs with no issues. It is pricey but that is to be expected for the quality of food. Courses were weighted towards fish so non fish lovers would struggle with the tasting menu. But having said that I'm not a huge fan of fish but I enjoyed every course. Would definitely return again for a special occasion. I would expect this restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star in the near future.

As an original crowd funder and a regular customer since then, I feel I must comment on the lack of Customer Service. My wife lost her locket and chain to which she had a great sentimental attachment. I phoned the restaurant the morning after our dinner and asked if they had found it, I was told they had not, but would check with the staff and look through their camera footage and get back to me, they did not. I then emailed them with the same request, but again no response. I emailed them a second time, again no response. What an absolute disgrace that they did not have the common decency to reply. Suffice to say, I will not be returning. Philip Denton.

We went for a family birthday celebration. Firstly, we tried to submit a pre-order and weren’t actually provided with a correct menu until a day or two before, which made coordinating for 15 people pretty chaotic. Then on arrival, we found our larger group had been split into three separate tables, one big and two small, which made it impossible for us to interact as one family group. The service started well but the waitress looking after us was rude and had an unnecessarily sassy air about her the entire time. It was almost impossible to get the attention of the staff and drinks orders were forgotten more than once. The food was pretty good but far from exceptional. At the end they forgot to bring my coffee - by the time I managed to get the waitress’s attention, everyone else had nearly finished theirs and my uncle had just settled the bill. Rather than just bring my very delayed coffee over with apologies, the waitress arrived with the coffee and a card machine to charge me the extra £2.80!! I refused to pay it and she responded “whatever” before slamming the coffee in front of me and storming off. To add insult to injury, they charged us an extra £40 because my sister in law was ill, so she and my brother weren’t able to make it. I can understand a deposit system for no-shows, but given we still had a 13 people spending a significant sum on a three course meal with drinks and wine, this felt like a really cheap move. Unfortunately the better-than-average food is severely let down by the passive aggressive service and cheap low-blows like charging us because two of our party of 15 couldn’t make it! We definitely won’t be back.

This place is a gastronomical delight. I highly suggest the ‘long’ tasting menu - even though it was 10 courses, they are all lovely and small and manage to offer completely different flavour experiences. Of particular note was the incredible mackerel dish - it was a flavour explosion! Special shout-out to our server, who recommended a Georgian wine that was sublime! He also taught us (very patiently) how to say phrases in Welsh, and really went above and beyond!

I was so looking forward to having a great birthday meal with my husband but sadly was very underwhelmed and came away feeling rather cheated. The taster menus (7 or 8 courses, 9 if you pay extra for the oyster) included sourdough bread with butter marmite whip as one course and also a sorbet which was refreshing but not really a course. The ‘mains’ ( duck and fish) were very rich and the fish too salty and they both lacked any carbohydrate (the only carbohydrate throughout the meal was one piece of bread as a starter and the cheese tart). We had the paired wines which was ridiculously expensive for what it was. The portion size for each wine can’t have been much more than 100mls. Also the waiter when describing each wine was constantly putting his thumb over the opening of the bottle. During our meal we had 5 white wines and 1 red, then the last ‘wine’ was not really a wine as it was only 5% alcohol and tasted like a bad Asti Spumante. I had hope for a delicious dessert wine considering the cost of the pairing. We did give some feed back during our meal but it felt like we weren’t taken seriously. Looking back on previous reviews Heaneys seem to have cut back on the more costly ingredients in the tasting menu without reducing the price. Sad as clearly the menu involves a lot of culinary skill.

How can they make things taste so good. The little cheese pie fills your mouth with a flavour explosion. The oysters WOW amazing full of taste and excellent. The quality of the food is outstanding and when you get a glimpse in the kitchen and see how many people are working to make this food it all makes sense. They do offer a number of price options which helps and means we can eat here more often as we don’t need to go all out. The staff are attentive but not too much. Can not wait for our next visit which is booked for next week, the new menu is due out so looking forward to new tastes. Great place to visit.

Holy Moly. Overpriced. Will never return. Firstly, I have no issues with paying well for really good food. It was good food - tasty. But felt completely ripped off. 100pounds [one non alcoholic beer and tap water] for a bowl of olives, one starter, two small plates and a main. One of the small plates which included half a tomato cut into quarters [no exaggeration], thin strip of courgette and a small other bit of fanciness was 12 pounds. Husband had a main of beef which included two strips of beef 7x2x2cm; 20% of which was a thick layer of fat. This was 30pounds. Some notions.

We could only book a table for 5pm, which was a bit early for our liking. However, when we arrived they were able to seat us outside, as it was nice warm evening. The service was excellent. We ordered the long tasting menu with wine pairing, every course was really great, and the wines, whilst not spectacular, complemented nicely. The bill for six people was £1,000, whilst two people did not have the wine pairing. I found this to be rather expensive. We really enjoyed our evening, the food flavours were really great, but did not consider this to be great value, we could have eaten a bit more. I would recommend this culinary experience as a treat, but make sure you are not massively hungry beforehand.

Visited for lunch and we both decided to have the short tasting menu. We have been many times but this choice proved to be very special. Megan who served us was absolutely top drawer. We plan to book Sunday lunch next !

We went for the NYE tasting menu and it didn’t disappoint, delicious food! Yes it isn’t cheap but totally worth it and value for money given how full we were! We don’t eat meat (only fish) and they amended the menu seamlessly. We will be back soon!

Only street parking very difficult to find space had taster menu very disappointing small to the extreme had to ask them to lower the music three times do not like waiters with face piercing London prices to the extreme do not believe all courses freshly made in restaurant wine list vastly overpriced and12.5% service charge not acceptable at over £100 a head much better restaurants in Cardiff

Went on a Saturday lunchtime after hearing good reports and was not disappointed. Decided on the lunchtime menu with some sides and everyone was delighted with their choice. Everything great quality and staff really friendly. We look forward to returning to try their tasting menu. Overall a great experience.

Not a very good experience. The food was average. Looked good but lacked taste. Although it is a taster menu, the portions are extremely small. small to the extent we needed to stop for food on the way home. This is ridiculous when you are...

We enjoyed the tasting menu to celebrate my eldest daughter’s birthday. She had been to the restaurant before and had certainly talked it up so we were delighted when it lived up to her billing. The Carlingford oyster was simply the best I have ever...

If you ever have the pleasure of eating at Heaney’s in Pontcanna, you’ll have no doubt which of the two is cooking for you. The tasting menu I had for lunch in the run up to Christmas was divine. Each mouthful was exquisite. The complexity...

Put simply, the food was delicious and the service delightful. The whole experience was relaxed and enjoyable whilst being professional and efficient. Welsh food with good gluten free options - excellent!

Fine dining at its best. Set tasting menu. Portion sizes are small but very tasty. If you have a large appetite go for the long menu. Waiters explain every course. Empty plates going back every time.

We had the full taster menu which was amazing. We also had the wine paring which was definitely made more enjoyable by the explanations of the newly employed Charles. The rest of the staff were also excellent, all in all a very enjoyable evening.

We came for an anniversary celebration. Whilst knowing the meal would not be cheap we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We had the taster menu: the food was excellent as was the service from the waitress who was really friendly throughout the evening.

It was a special birthday and we had the lunch taster menu; £75 is clearly not a cheap lunch but the quality was superb. All ingredients were of the highest standard and the marmite butter is a revelation! It was also more than enough, quantity...
