We had a group event here of about fifteen people so we felt that the friendly staff went to a lot of trouble to make the day special for all and accommodate for all of our dietary requirements. The food I had was absolutely delicious (I’d especially reccomend the vanilla ice cream!). The only thing you have to be careful of here is eating too much as the prices are insanely overpriced.

We had a fantastic table here for 13 on a Sunday lunchtime and had the most amazing meal. Despite being expensive, the staff are very nice and the atmosphere buzzing. The food is absolutely divine: the Steak melts in your mouth! The Sunday Roast is delicious too. We are regulars and here and this place never fails to disappoint! Thank you for putting up with such a noisy table!

Went as a family for a special occasion and well worth it. Had a drink on the roof terrace at Matisse first which was a lovely way to start the evening. Highly recommend the sea bass in rock salt, goats cheese, salad bar, garlic bread and crème brûlée . Staff very friendly and attentive throughout. Will definitely return and highly recommend. Thanks for a lovely night!

Have not been for a while but really impressed and had a lovely family celebration meal. Food was excellent and cooked perfectly. The waiting staff were really attentive and good banter and fun with the service. Quality of wine and drinks was really good too. Worth a revisit or a first time visit if looking for great meat or fish in Cardiff

Today, we went to Le Monde because I had heard good things about their food quality. Upon arrival, we asked the waitress for a table. Since we hadn't made a reservation, she called her manager. The manager approached us, and before even greeting us, he demanded that I remove my cap because no one wearing a cap is allowed inside. I was shocked—it's 2024, and such outdated rules still exist? Everyone inside was casually dressed, and I can't imagine anyone being bothered by my cap. I've attached a photo of myself (taken at another restaurant we visited afterward) for context. I felt deeply offended. The first thing you expect when visiting a restaurant is to feel welcomed, and I didn't want to spend my money somewhere I felt insulted. We left immediately. Such behavior towards customers is ugly and unacceptable.

Great food, unfortunately, the restaurant wholly let down by misleading advertising on the website. If management were a rating, it would be negative from me.... No manager on site to speak with. The staff tried to recover from a bad start, but they failed in the basic understanding that the customer is right (especially when they openly admit they're wrong!)

Every time I visit with my friend Mark I experience a new “best steak ever”. Food is out of this world, raspberry and strawberry daiquiris made to perfection, such a chilled vibe there. Two absolutely delicious steak meals, bottle of white, couple of cocktails and two to die for desserts all for £128 which we thought was amazing value. It’s a place to treat yourself if to you’re in Cardiff. After our meal we went upstairs to their Incognito bar for a couple more cocktails and a seat in the luxurious rooftop garden area with heaters. No expense spared. This place is special.

Abysmal from start to finish. Booked a table for 14.15 , then was rushed into ordering food because the kitchen closed at 14.30. Waitress then spilled a whole pint of lager over the table, my £300 jacket and into my partners salad. Was offered to have the jacket dry cleaned but returned 4 days later or to take £20 off the bill. Manager was abrupt, rude, obnoxious and an abrasive character. Food was served way below par. Chicken dish tasted like dishwater and the rest left a lot to be desired. Upon addressing the issues with the manager, he became very argumentative and strife. A truly abhorrent experience and would not recommend to anyone that enjoys good service and palatable food.

I had a reservation at the restaurant on Mother’s Day from which my mother had food poisoning from under-cooked scallops. I have never complained to a restaurant before but felt that I was owed at least a refund for my mother’s meal, however, all I have been offered is a bottle of wine at my next meal (I will not be returning after our experience and the way in which my complaint has been dealt with) and the manager was completely rude to me on the phone. When we arrived, it was quite clear that the staff were overwhelmed by the match day crowds as the restaurant was chaotic, our table wasn’t ready on time and we had to wait a little while before anyone attended to us. The manager’s response to this was “well you knew you’d booked a table on a match day”. We eventually sat down after waiting by the bar and had to eventually ask for someone to bring us a drink’s menu. The service generally wasn’t great and when we asked if there was a Sunday lunch, the response from a gentleman who appeared to be the manager on the day was “I don’t know”. We then had to queue for about 10/15 minutes to be able to order food. I had a steak for the main course which I asked to be medium rare but when it came it was blue. I did not complain at the time because I did not want to put a dampener on what was supposed to be a nice day out for Mother’s Day and had already been slightly tarnished by our initial experience of entering the restaurant. My mother had scallops to start (she was the only one to eat this on our table and did not eat anything else after the meal on that day) and was so unwell through the night that she had to take time off work the next day. The cost of this meal was £165 and the manager couldn’t even refund me for my mother’s meal. I think the service overall has been diabolical and I will not be returning.

Arrived for lunch with a friend and were left standing at the door for ages even though the restaurant wasn’t busy and a number of the wait staff looked our way but ignored us! The opposite of welcoming. In fact no one came to us at the door - so we finally went to the counter where people order and asked the guy serving about the lunch specials - he pointed out the two course lunch menu (£26) I asked about the one course lunch menu (which is still advertised on their website) and he told us that the only lunch menu was the two course one - then turned away from us and went back to ignoring us! Naturally, we left. We encountered a couple heading into the restaurant and shared how dismissively we’d been treated and the apparent fact that the one course lunch special was no longer available and suggested that, like us, they head up the road to Ty Madeira if they wanted a better experience and then saw them arrive not long after us! I’ve been a regular customer of Le Monde and have taken many people here for lunch over the years I’ve never experienced such awful customer service. There are so many restaurants to choose from in Cardiff I would have thought they’d bend over backwards to keep customers - not go out of their way to lose customers. Incidentally, we ordered a bottle of wine with the 2 course lunch special (£16) as well as an additional dessert at Ty Madeira - money I had fully intended to spend at Le Monde. UPDATE: Thank you for your prompt reply Your website shows as I said, a lunchtime special menu for £16 - it doesn’t mention or give examples of 2 courses only mains. So perhaps I’ve been getting duped into paying for 2 courses and only getting one course on previous visits? The rude waiter behind the counter pointed out the lunchtime special on the blackboard which clearly says £26 for 2 courses. He did not deign to elaborate or offer any alternative - he didn’t even offer to get a waiter to attend to us before turning away from me and continuing his previous occupation of ignoring me and my guest. Considering that I was about to spend good money in your establishment I’d have thought your staff could have found it in themselves to put on a brave face and try being nice to the customer waiting at the door. I notice you have had a number of other negative reviews predicated mostly on the rudeness of your staff: so our experience was obviously not an isolated one.

We visit Le Monde regularly so I felt I needed to tell you how fabulous it is! Great food fresh meat & fish, great salad bar, garlic bread to die for - why would you want to go anywhere else. On arriving we sat at the bar and had some fabulous wine and beautifully made cocktails by really experienced bar staff - the ambience is always really good perfect atmosphere especially on the rugby weekend where they deliver exceptional service despite the huge amount of bookings. Murat always welcomes us and makes our visit extra special every time we visit without fail - along with all the other waitresses & waiters - many have been there for years & years which is a credit to the restaurant. The food is always consistently tasty freshly prepared and well presented - and they can advise on wines as they have such a great wine list. A hidden gem in Cardiff City Centre you must check it out! & Thankyou Murat for making every visit a special one with your great customer service.

I can say from the moment I arrived with my team, I was made unwelcome. The office manager made sure I would not be returning. As someone who frequents some of the best restaurants available, and as someone who likes to reward his team. Le Monde is a restaurant, whose food quality is good. The range and cooking skills shown were well above average. The general staff service attentive. The management and care - disgusting. We won’t be back. I’d say they are caught in a time warp and remind me of the experience you’d expect in Le Monde but 20 years ago.

Would absaloutly never go here again. Obviously there is a dress code here which I get, but for the flamboyant man at front of house visibly ridiculing the way people were dressed, very loudly and obvious was shocking actually. The food was poor. We heard a waiter asking a customer if they'd like to go to the roof top after thier meal to see the live band, falling over himself for this customer. I thought that I'd like to go and vist the rooftop and enjoy the live band, was discouraged and told ' oh will have to see if here's room first' obviously did fit thier regular clientelle. Avoid

After trying for a while to get a table at Le Monde we finally went there this week. Firstly it was really busy on a Monday night with hardly any tables free - which is a great sign. I’ve always been a fan of the Martinez family restaurants so I knew what to expect in terms of the menu and food. The atmosphere and the style of the restaurant was impressive, with the best wine selection I’ve seen in any Cardiff restaurant. Service was 10/10. Our waiter had a real eye for detail, and was attentive but very professional. Food was amazing, wine was perfect. Would highly recommend.

The manager apologised but when we complained the owner to us to F**k off and said to a man in his 60’s ‘let’s take it outside’ We were there about an hour, 30 minutes of that was waiting to be seated after the time our table was booked. We had 9 drinks whilst waiting, the owner states that was worth £900. Utter BS. Apparently we are banned from this so called restaurant… thank god for that!!!

After waiting nearly 60 mins for our table, half our party were left without a meal and the those luckily enough to receive something didn’t get everything they asked for because the food was given to the wrong table. A polite discussion with the manager erupted into a sh*tshow with the owner who became very rude and obnoxious (and that’s being polite). You saved our entire party from making the same mistake twice with your so called banned from your restaurant chain as none of us will return and wouldn’t recommend your establishments to anyone!

Felt rushed from the start. Sat us directly by the toilets in which we had a constant flow of people passing us. Restaurant was so loud could hardly hear yourself speak. No menus and when queuing to order food which looked amazing seeing it all fresh, the boards were very intense as so many options and not a lot of time to choose, as we were rushed by the server behind the counter looking very put out that we were pausing to look. Could hardly hear, to then be shouted at when i asked him to repeat himself. We were handed a salad bowl only to find at the bill we had been charged for salad we thought was a free salad bar as the bowls were tiny and did not ask for them. They were very put out that i questioned the charge as we barely filled them. Was told they come as part of the starters in which we said we had no starters. Drinks arrived only to have the bottle of wine plonked on the table not even opened and the tray left on the seat of one of our guests. The waitresses even though very attentive did not really know what they were doing and asked us continuously if everything was ok which got very annoying after the fourth fifth time. Ended with a very expensive bill for ok food and a very disappointing experience. Will not be returning!!

Sublime restaurant! We celebrated for my partner's birthday (which was last year but only just got a chance to visit now) but it was totally worth the wait. A gorgeous environment and atmosphere, great service and friendly staff but the most important bit - just the loveliest, freshest food! I enjoyed the calamari and swordfish, whilst my partner had the scallops and tuna steak and every single bit of food was so fresh and delicious. Shout out to Lara who served us, as well as a new lady that we didn't get the name of but was on her first shift and was super helpful. Can't wait to visit again!!

The customer is of no importance to this restaurant. The understanding of the lifetime value of a customer does not exist. My advice is do not make a booking at this restaurant. They are only interested in taking your money. Before I booked I should have read the recent reviews. In my case I made a booking on 29 th December for 31st December but because of unforeseen circumstances called to cancel. I was informed that because the cancellation was not 48 hours or more my card would be charged. They did it immediately and took £60. In all my long life at dining out this has never arisen before. They must be in so much need of cash it’s almost sorrowful. It might be their policy but it does not win lifetime loyalty Happy New Year Le Monde. This is one customer you will never see. And to all potential visitors I don’t advise you make a booking.

My partner and I had a wonderful meal here. My partner has special dietary requirements and this was absolutely no problem. I had the monkfish which came with chips and I had a side dish of the best garlic bread I have ever tasted!! My partner's gluten free and vegetarian paella was also really nice. The service was wonderful and everyone was so polite and friendly that we'd love to return as soon as possible. We were lucky that we could be accommodated as 'walk in' customers. We deliberately did not book as we don't agree with the cancellation policy of being charged if you cancel within 48 hours of the reservation date. Although we are totally reliable people, and would never just not turn up, sometimes events happen that are out of our control. We would always ring to cancel but don't expect to be charged. For this reason, we will never prebook.

Average quality Christmas meal. Very poor selection of dairy-free options. The meal was lukewarm with inedible hard swede, clearly undercooked. Turkey was on a dry side, pigs in blankets unpleasantly greasy. Starter very small. All in all, not worth the price. Service was very quick and drinks are reasonably good quality. However, one of the waitresses was rude pushing in behind my chair to collect the dishes, no apologies or even an earlier mention that's what she was planning to do - I obviously would have got up to give her space or passed on the plates, there's no need to push in and make me wobble in my chair mid-conversation. Clearly inexperienced. Some senior staff members are just over the top and borderline theatrical in this place. The restaurant is very loud and there are far too many tables squeezed into a small space, it's overcrowded. Overall, the place looks and feels slightly naff, aspiring to be a quality restaurant but failing grotesquely.

The food here was first class and reasonably priced. Sadly the service was not to match. Rushed, rude staff and just a real let down!

First fish was over cooked and then raw but the other 10 of us had great steaks. Maybe avoid the fish !

Went for a lunchtime set menu and it is good value for money. Lovely choice of fish for example, freshly and cooked well. Potatoes/chips included but other veg perhaps needed as additional sides. Nice, relaxed atmosphere for a wet lunchtime and very good, personable service.

This is one of those really interesting places to eat. I'm not really interested in restaurants where you have to stand staring at a board to choose what you fancy eating. But at Le Monde, you have to. There is a board to choose your starters, and mains. But there's a fish counter where you choose your desired fish to be taken away and cooked to your liking with optional sauces, vegetables or a great salad selection. My wife chose the fish soup and I had the homemade fishcakes. Followed by swordfish steaks. The food here is cooked to perfection but, be warned, this place is busy, busy, busy. So you need to book in advance and don't expect a quiet romantic meal, but professionalism you will get. I would definitely come back here if I were to visit Cardiff again.

Went to this establishment tonight, we haven’t even received drinks, we just got seated and the manager told us to come to the counter to order food, and told us that somebody will come up to us to take our drinks order but nobody came. We only received one menu and when I asked one of the staff members for another one he just smirked and rolled his eyes and brought the menu with annoyed face. We just left as nobody came up to take a drink order with this prices I was expecting at least some service but received eyes rolling and nothing, DO NOT RECOMMEND

Ridiculously overpriced. Poor service. Lazy perpetration of food. Chefs larder salsa accompanied every starter. Think they went to get our chips from Dorothy’s. Don’t get me wrong, I like fish and chip shop chips but not with my restaurant meal.

I've been on two dates here, with the same girl. Highly recommend as it's a pretty chill, low maintenance date option. However, the order app never seems to work for me... and twice now, they forgot to bring over my partners wine. Both are not a major issue, I really like the place and will no doubt come back again. Oh, parking is free for up to 4 hours.

The reviews didn’t endear me to this place, but it had been a long day travelling and I wanted something easy and convenient. My only complaint was that it took an age to get seated as the hotel was jumping and the restaurant wasn’t staffed accordingly. However, once I was seated the service was efficient (which I needed) and friendly, and the food was pretty darn good. I got a rump steak which was so succulent and I rarely say that about rump. Basic menu but it is pub grub so set your expectations at this and you’ll be fine

All food cooked as you arrive, so not “drying out” waiting for customers. Quality and quantity excellent. Cash only. Wide range of choices.

An absolutely fantastic experience! This restaurant has nailed the art of cooking over an open fire, and their vegan options are great, all you have to do is leave a note on the booking or ask if you’re a walk in. The smoky flavors infused in each dish took plant-based dining to another level. We had a mix of roasted veggies, charred hispy cabbage with marmite butter, and fire-grilled mushrooms,, all of which were rich in flavor and perfectly cooked. The ambiance was charmingly modern and friendly, with the glow of the fire adding a unique charm to the meal. The staff was knowledgeable about vegan options and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. This is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience vegan cuisine with a beautiful, open-fire twist! Can’t wait to go back!
