Full service restaurant meal service closed since Christmas 2022. Now reopened as a coffee shop serving snacks such as baguettes. OK for coffee but you can't get a full meal anymore

Delightfully tasty lunch, in an unexpected location. Who would think to find this oasis above a clothes shop ? Small menu but full of variety. All cooked fresh. Wonderful coffee.

I visited for breakfast with a friend, having told him that the food was stellar, we both left disappointed. There's a newcomer in the kitchen, very pleasant and helpful but too slow and (on the basis of this meal) not much of a cook. The griddle ruined eggs were awful, the black pudding looked raw, the plates were cold, (in an unheated room the food quickly goes cold). I was happy to pay the M-Bar premium for exemplary food but I can get a brekkie without star quality at many other places in town for a lot less. Management needs to sort the kitchen out before losing too much trade! p.s. You shouldn't refer to 'eggs' on the menu if it's just an 'egg'.

Lovely food, and service. I'm vegan and they actually made a dish that was not on menu? It was delicious. I think that is a good sign of an excellent chef, who can think on their feet and make anything from whatever they have at the time in the kichen. very impressed. highly recommend.

Today was my first visit here and it certainly won’t be my last. The warmth of the staff was lovely to experience and they seemed to genuinely enjoy working there. We both had the Poke Bowl with halloumi and it was a stunning mix of flavours and textures. It was packed with gorgeous ingredients and was the best lunch I’ve had in a long time. I look forward to trying their breakfasts which I’m told are exceptional. As others have already said, it is indeed a hidden gem!

My first visit in a long time, I took a few friends to brunch. Excellent service, food and ambience. Loos are desperately in need of an upgrade. My friend who was a qualified Chef and who has worked in Michelin starred restaurants commented upon the quality of the food. Everything was very fairly priced. Our visit to this establishment was informed by the displayed food hygiene rating of 4/5 (Good).

Lovely cafe with a warm welcome from the staff. Beautifully cooked sea bass and more than happy to make adjustments if needed and indeed, even offered. The oven baked sea bass on a bed of noodles was absolutely delicious served with a glass of chilled wine was all that was needed on a hot summer day. The chef ( sorry I didn’t get names) was very friendly and obviously knows her regulars. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will be visiting when I next visit Swansea. Thank you for a lovely lunch and helping me while away an hour before my appointment.

We were pointed in the direction of this lovely little restaurant by the owners brother and he was right. It was a gorgeous lunch in a lovely bright and welcoming dining room. For starters we just chose the garlic focaccia and it was delicious. I chose the steak, cooked to perfection along with greens and potato dauphinois all steaming hot. My sister had the duck, slightly pink and apparently very tender. There was a little wait in between the starters and mains but the serving staff apologised and offered us another glass of wine on the house, ( which we obviously accepted) but the wait wasn’t overly long. Would definitely return and no hesitation in recommending this restaurant.

Called today for lunch with hubby and grandson (late as usual) arrived in time for a coffee. Staff are always cheerful and efficient. I was disappointed to hear that Holly had left as she was such a credit to the restaurant. But I’m sure the new girl will soon fit it and be just as cheerful. As for the food hubby had the lamb and I was really envious of his portion size - three big chops - i had a bite and it was delicious. I on the other hand had the steak which was also delicious but very small for a steak. I’ll go for the lamb next time. I had room for a dessert - a brownie with ice cream but hubby didn’t (I wonder why). I’d also recommend the Welsh cider !

Our party of 3 all had something different and all of the meals had clean plates by the time we finished.

Not easy to find above a clothes shop this is a remarkably good place for lunch in town.We each had a superb hake dish which was freshly prepared and well presented, and remarkable value at under £8 - followed by another inexpensive tasty home made desert. Friendly and personal service in a pleasant restaurant this is an experience to be repeated, now that we know where it is. Just a shame it is not open in the evenings.

We came here for lunch after reading the reviews and had a fantastic feed. The prices of the dishes is incredibly reasonable (all £7/8 and they even do 2 course set menu for £10!). The location is very strange in the back of a designer clothes store, but once you're in the restaurant you don't feel like you're in a shop. The staff were very friendly and efficient. I had the lamb, spinach and chickpea curry served with rice and a small naan. It was pretty spicy but absolutely delicious and clearly homemade. My partner had the chicken with a creamy chorizo sauce on a bed of crushed potatoes and salad which he really enjoyed. We were too full for dessert but the cake selection did look lovely. Really recommend a lunch visit here.

With a great string of 5* reviews I was expecting something a little more grand than a cafe on the first floor of a ladies clothing shop. Its tucked away in the corner and has the feel of a latter day 1960's department store restaurant. There weren't many diners eating the day we went. Food was not bad, nothing exceptional, the sort of thing you might make for yourself midweek. The waitress was very welcoming and it certainly wasn't expensive. Can I recommend? Yes, but don't go there expecting fine dining.

OMG - I had a breakfast to die for! Rustic bread, avocado, halloumi, poached egg, tomato and chilli chutney. It was delightfully tasty and each mouthful had to be savoured. The only let down was the last mouthful, as it was delicious. A breakfast I would never have thought of putting together, it was wingding eat. It set me up for the day and inspired me to eat healthily (that day). The menu on the whole was very interesting and the choice for me was difficult. The lunch menu is equally appetising and there is a lunch time deal available. Don't miss this little gem that is hidden upstairs and at the back of the Moda Shop on the Kingsway. The staff are great and the boutique restaurant surroundings are comfortable and professional. Go give it a try

Because of good reviews, we decided to stop in for lunch. The staff was very friendly and helped entertain our 1 yr old and provided a clean high chair. I ordered the baked salmon with risotto and it was delicious, I could eat it everyday and be happy! We were curious about a local dish (welsh faggots)(I swear that's the name of the dish) but not brave enough to order it as our main, but they brought a bit out for us to try and we really enjoyed them! Overall great experience!

Today I ditched my usual service station lunch in favour of remaining in Swansea a little longer. Having found the best rated nearby restaurant, I headed straight(ish) to M-Bar, tucked away inside a clothes shop. The service was warm and friendly, much unlike prevailing weather conditions. I chose the Moroccan lamb followed by whiskey and ginger cheesecake and can highly recommend both options. Despite the relatively small price, the portions are healthy and the meals clearly home cooked. I w asnt expecting a great deal for a pit stop lunch, but M-bar delivered far more than I could have expected. Many thanks to the team.

I had been to this restaurant a month previously and it was lovely.This time there appeared to be new staff - cook and waitress and the same standard of food was not there.Two of us had the Beef Bourguignon, which was ok but the portion could have been bigger. The biggest disappointment though was the crushed potatoes, very under seasoned - totally bland! Third friend chose the hake and reported that it lacked seasoning too!Will we return?

Moda is a high class/quality fashion/clothes shop but upstairs they have a cafe. Cafe may be the wrong word to use, perhaps a cross between coffee shop and restaurant. You can get a cake and coffee, you can get a meal. It's not very big, but it's light an airy. You also are advised to book. The cooking area is miniscule but the chef does wonders offering a choice of a half a dozen or so starters and mains as well as sandwiches. Cannot fault the quality or the value for money with a two course lunch coming in around £12. Wine is also extremely reasonably priced here.

We were looking for somewhere for lunch on a Monday and followed Tripadvisor advice and Google maps to find this place, upstairs at the back above a high-end shop. Unless you know it's there you'll unlikely to find it as Kingsway runs parallel to the main shopping area. Anyway, the food was very good indeed, all made to order, piping hot and delicious, and very good value for money.

After several lunches, we always felt thirsty & 'unwell' afterwards...We came to the conclusion that having eaten here on several occasions, despite the food being fab quality & very tasty... we won't return because of excessive use of salt! Sad but true...

Just back from a fantastic lunch. The food is fabulous and such great value for money and the staff are great. All the main courses are just £6.95 each and the desserts/cake are £2.50. There were 4 of us in the group and we all had different meals - they were all wonderful. I highly recommend eating here, you won't be disappointed.

WOW!! Popped in for a bit of lunch and was so impressed with this venue. Quiet and very clean and lovely friendly staff. We ordered from the short list of choices and I ordered the Chilli Con Carne and my gorgeous wife had the Slow Cooked Lamb & Coconut Curry. Well, the food arrived and was so well presented it was a shame to dig in to spoil the appearance. Went it came to tasting we were blown away as the chunks of beef in my chilli were so tender and cooked perfectly. Both our meals wee excellent value for the £6:95 each. We both had desserts and thoroughly enjoyed them. Highly recommended place to eat.

I was walking past the shop where this is situated & discovered its existence for the first time. I originally was just popping in for a coffee but was tempted to have something to eat. As it was mid to late morning I chose the smoked salmon & poached eggs on ciabatta and I was not disappointed. It was delicious & very good value as it was £4.95 including coffee! Superb cappuccino too. Will definitely visit here again.

Restaurant off main street & only open during daytime hrs but quality of food ingredients & presentation is terrific. Lovin' it!One niggle - why restrict some customers 2 tiny 2 seater tables when outside busy hrs & restaurant almost empty? Highly recommend for great food tho.

Marilyn and I had breakfast here over the weekend and it was delicious, I had white of the egg omelet, bacon, toast and coffee, very very nice. Marilyn had poached eggs on toast and she throughly enjoyed also. Then on Monday Marilyn took my daughter and granddaughter there for lunch and again everything was scrumptious, Eliza who is 23 months old had her own small bowl of spaghetti bolognese and she also woofed it all down. If you are in Swansea give it a go please and enjoy.

This cafe is located on the first floor of an upmarket ladies and men's wear shop called Modo. It's called a cafe / bar but to us the atmosphere was more cafe than bar. It is quite a small space. We called in for a coffee during a break from shopping and it looked as though there were some good food offers. It's closes at 5 PM.

Visited for the first time after hearing great feedback. Great food, good value and good sized portions, can't believe it's cooked in such a tiny kitchen space within a designer clothes shop! We'll visit again, thanks!

Visité por vez 1 calle con un grupo de amigos. No sabía que esperar ya que sabía que estaba en la parte de atrás de una tienda de ropa de marca. Yo pensé que iba a ser una cafetería. Qué sorpresa encantadora, increíble, la comida del restaurante a precios increíbles. La comida merece un 'excelente', todos los entrantes y platos principales aspecto y sabor como algo que espera ser digno de estrella Michelín. Fueron presentadas magníficamente, sabía divino, llena de sabor y las porciones eran muy grandes (tan grandes que sólo tenía 2 campos, donde normalmente tenemos 3) las bebidas eran baratas.La decepción (y el motivo de 4 estrellas no 5) era la camarera. Ella era lamentable y grosero. Ella recoge los platos (tanto entrantes y platos principales) tan pronto como alguien había terminado. Así los platos estaban willy forma ininteligible cuando aún estábamos comiendo. Yo no creo que una sonrisa agrietado todo el tiempo que estuvimos allí.El chef fue muy amable, aunque ella no grita al otro lado de las mesas de la cocina abierta para preguntar si la comida de la gente estaba bien. Ella también tenía un poco de actitud cuando uno de nuestro grupo una pregunta sobre su principal (cuando hacer el pedido). No estoy segura si la actitud era dirigido a mi amigo o a la camarera. La camarera gritó mis amigos pregunta enfrente de nuestra mesa para el chef, quien respondió "se afirma en el menú! "No disfrutar plenamente de nuestra comida y sin duda volveré (espero que habrá una camarera más amable la próxima vez).Estoy de acuerdo con muchos comentarios anteriores, es una joya escondida.

Took the advice and visited for lunch. The place is contemporary, the food is fantastic and the value for money is quite unbelievable. If you are in Swansea...... eat here!!

El blanco plano perfecto con una tarta portuguesa impresionante hecha por un excelente barista que es muy conocedor y experimentado y está más que feliz de explicar y transmitir sus conocimientos de café. Tengo que probar todos los otros pasteles y horneados que ha elegido para acompañar su café.

Hannah made a 4 tier wedding cake for 100 people for our wedding which tasted and looked amazing. The cake was decorated beautifully and each of the four flavours were delicious. Hannah was super friendly, professional and punctual. We also added on Welsh cake favours which went down great with our guests. I highly recommend Temptation Cakes, thanks again Hannah!

Absolutely fantastic service. Cake was not only beautifully decorated exactly to our requests but also tasted amazing. Orange blossom frosting was incredibly light, smooth and creamy. Sponge was lovely and moist, with layers of fresh blueberry compote and lemon curd. Everything was well balanced and nothing was too sweet. We will be ordering again.
