Mountain Hare Inn in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Went there for the great food reviews last Sunday. The roast was very mediocre and the portions were stingy

Needed a last minute buffet for 70 people the next day as had been let down by a pizza company . Owner of the Deli very kindly said she could provide sandwiches and quiches , amazing .everyone commented at the party how lovely the sandwiches and quiches were . Thank you so much

Visited Amore in Aberdare for a solo evening meal and had a really enjoyable experience overall. Starter: Bruschetta di Formaggio The dish arrived warm with perfectly crisp ciabatta, carrying a subtle sweetness that worked beautifully with the rich, earthy cheese blend. The cherry tomatoes added a nice touch of brightness. It was served with a mixed salad — I set aside the onion and green pepper, which felt a little out of place with the rest of the dish — but overall, it was a light and satisfying starter that set my palate up nicely. Paired with a glass of Verdicchio, the combination was well balanced and refreshing. Main: Risotto Porcini The risotto was served piping hot and cooked well — creamy and al dente with a gently sweet, earthy flavour. I think there may have been a hint of balsamic, which gave it some lift. That said, I couldn’t detect any actual pieces of porcini mushrooms, which was a little disappointing given the name of the dish. I came in with high expectations after having a standout risotto elsewhere, so I was a bit wary, but in the end, it was enjoyable in its own right — simple, comforting, and well-prepared. Dessert: Strawberry Cheesecake Unfortunately, the panna cotta wasn’t available (the kitchen let the staff know it hadn’t set properly), but the waitress let me know right away, which I appreciated. I swapped for the strawberry cheesecake, which was very sweet and indulgent — soft, creamy topping and a crumbly biscuit base. I’d already ordered a glass of Muscat, which was lovely on its own but combined with the cheesecake made the whole thing quite rich. One for those with a sweet tooth! Overall: Service was friendly and attentive, and the food was presented with care. It was a well-paced meal with quality ingredients and a nice atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back to try more — hopefully the panna cotta will be ready next time!

As always, the food didn't disappoint. Cooked breakfast with thick sliced toast sets you up for the day x

Lovely cafe great food and service will be back 😍🙏🏼
