Ocho Lounge in The Vale of Glamorgan

Popped in for what brunch. Great atmosphere, cozy seating, stunning food and warm friendly service. Recommended

An experience to savour. Par excellence .

Fabulous atmosphere. Lovely staff. Great location on the Main Street in Penarth and just a short walk through the lovely park to the seafront.

£10 for two small bacon sandwiches, Overpriced and miserable staff

Very nice a relaxed vibe. No one is rushing around that's great news. Will be frequenting again asap.,👊

Came here for food on a Saturday evening, food and atmosphere was pretty good, service from Jack was excellent.

Lovely atmosphere here. Food isn't the best, it's quite expensive and the portions are very small.

A lovely restaurant with really nice and tasty food and drink. The atmosphere was great when we arrived with a real mix of patrons of all different ages. We were seated upstairs in a window seat which was great. Unfortunately, as establishments try to cater for everyone including dog owners, we were soon interrupted by a loud 'yapping' dog beneath us (at the table next to the stairs). It was continuous with no attempt by the dog owners to stop it. The couple at the table next to us looked over and commented that it sounded like the dog was sat with them at their table. I'm assuming because of the set up around the stairs it just resonated up to the top floor. Such a shame as we were having a lovey time until that point able to hold a conversation. I would certainly go back on the understanding that I wasn't anywhere near the stairwell. If it wasn't for the dog issue, it would have been a solid 5 stars.

Really poor , ordered a large macaroni cheese for my granddaughter, the pasta was hard and was such a small portion for over £10 , my chicken salad was just thrown together with a portion of it lying at the bottom of the paper bag carrier that cost over £ 12 . Really dissapointing

Cracking place, in all respects. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Good breakfast and attentive service

Service was disappointing and the food was boring. My daughter's pizza was tasteless.

Nice place for some food. Kids friendly

Lovely tapas, and coffee is amazing.

We found the Ocho Lounge as we were walking by in the neighborhood. I'm so glad we stopped in. The food was delicious. The menu had food from around the world. I had a beetroot and feta flatbread with crispy chick peas, salsa and pomegranate seeds. The flavors and the variety of textures were delicious! My partner had nasi goreng, complete with fried egg on the top. You ordered food at the bar that was then delivered to the table. There were couples and groups of friends having dinner and drinks. There is an upstairs seating area as well.

Really good choice for gluten free.

Been going to Ocho for a few years now. Nice atmosphere in fairness and the staff are always friendly. However, I’m afraid this time was the last time. The sizing of the portions tonight was ridiculous and must have surely shrunk?? We went for the Monday deal of main and free drink / pudding. I had a rice dish with chicken and egg on top. It was tiny. It didn’t even reach the edge of the bowl indentation. The egg yolk minuscule. That was just under £13. My wife had a halloumi burger with salad. It wasn’t a burger. It was two deep friend halloumi strips in a bun with a slight spread of onion relish and a tiny bit of humus. The ‘salad’ was a bit of iceberg lettuce and a few halves of baby tomatoes with a sprinkling of onion. That was around £10.50. When you go out in hospitality these days, you obviously expect to pay much more than eating in. Thats a given, obviously. You don’t expect to still be hungry when you leave, and you don’t expect to feel ripped off. Sad really, we enjoyed the deal evenings at the end of a busy day in work. Will have to find somewhere else.

A pal and I ride motorbikes to various cafes and consider ourselves as breakfast experts, great food wonderful atmosphere and wonderful staff, we will definitely be returning for more.

Very comfortable environment, friendly staff and good food reasonably priced. Been there a few times for lunch and will be returning. Update. Returned today, everything OK apart from a dog that barked constantly throughout my meal. The staff should have asked the customer to leave.

Love a quick tapas... never fails to hit the spot.

It's clean staff are amazing food was Lovely and didn't take to long to come out Plus you are allowed to take your dog in if you sit downstairs 😉 I would recommend this place 👍

Ocho lounge is one of those places which covers a lot of categories. Great for brunch, casual lunch and dinner. And meeting friends for a evening drink.

Nice cafe bar with a good menu, good service and fair prices, will return

Music could be quieter and I think they need more curtains to dampen sound a bit and help prevent echo.

12 of us went for Monday morning breakfast. We had booked, so they'd given us a long table upstairs, which we had to ourselves. A lot of us had a cooked breakfast, some had pancakes. As you can imagine, with a dozen different orders, there was a huge chance something would go wrong. Nothing did! Our lovely food all came, exactly as we'd ordered. Freya, who took the order, was not only efficient, but friendly and very patient. 10/10 Ocho!!

I feel compelled to write a review of our recent visit for brunch. We were a family unit of 12 people and pleasing us all is no mean feat. Freya was the waitress who took our comprehensive order. She was amazingly patient as we altered this and that, asked questions etc. she remained friendly and approachable throughout our visit. We were amazed when all our brunches arrived exactly as we had requested. The food was hot and delicious. We couldn’t have asked for more from our visit.

Great food, limited beer selection but what is on offer is good. Never had a bad experience here

Great food and service. Fast helpful staff. Good opening hours. Child and dog friendly. Toilets clean. Pricing affordable value for money.

Nice enough atmosphere, staff pleasant but service slow and haphazard. Food ok -thougb beef chilli seemed it had been kept hot for too long.

Gorgeous place with a wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff and a great selection of food and drinks. Food was bright, vibrant and very tasty!

Great food, fast service.. Very careful about my nut allergy. Allows dogs.

Great food, cocktails tasty. Chilled relaxing vibe in hear

Three of us went for breakfast. Lot's of food at a good price. Interesting place, worth a visit

Really enjoyed visiting Ocho, the staff were friendly and helpful, cosy feel to the atmosphere

Good service, my only issue was with the food - New, Rose's pulled chicken truffle, presentation/looked awful needs salad type dressing, quality ingredients and tasted great, really enjoyed it, but, not enough somewhere between a starter and a main, it needed rice or bread accompaniment. (Good value) left still hungry.

Popped in for a coffee and panini, lovely.

Arrived with no waiting for available table and no obvious rush but didn't look upstairs. Ordered hot drinks and desserts. Drinks arrived promptly and told desserts would follow shortly. Table adjacent seemed to be experiencing delay. After about an hour desserts (cheesecake and churros) hadn't arrived. No unsolicited explanation or apology was offered. We were downstairs and it wasn't particularly busy - maybe upstairs it was different but that doesn't excuse the tardy and disrespectful way we were treated. Why was no advisory given at time of taking payment and order? I asked for the cost of the desserts to be refunded and we left - our evening ruined. Clearly a reflection of poor management and training. A disgraceful and inexcusable way to treat customers. Won't be returning.

This is our favourite, regular place to relax and chill. Food always good and staff very friendly.

Food is really good, but why oh why are they so stingy with their chips? The burgers are expensive, but really good, but come with a pathetically small cone of chips in an old tin mug. I've mentioned it to them and they say they'll look into it but never do. When you pay £14 for a burger, it's nice to have a decent portion of fries, not a small handful.

Bang bang chicken was outstanding

This is a fast food place with both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Service was nice and staff are friendly. Cutlery needs to be better checked.

was here a while ago and loved it but not this evening i wanted a coke to start for drinks and it didnt taste right they agreed after trying it that the coke syrup had run out so the guy came over to my table and asked would a bottle be ok i said yes thats fine he said i wont charge you the extra for it as it must have been more then on tap i guess which was fair enough my issue isnt about that allthough it wasent a good start to the evening but it got worse a lady who was in a wheelchair sat near me and started talking how is your life then and to make things worse she stunk of urine i said to her not to be rude but i came out for piece queit drinks food and thats it think she got the message but i think customers like that in a place like this no good for hygeine when people are eating i had to go elsewhere for food as my evening here was somewhat spoiled.

My second visit for a tapas lunch . What great value and great flavours! I wholeheartedly recommend Ocho Lounge it is absolutely great.

Service great, food excellent and great ambiance

Very warm welcome from the team, good food good prices, what’s not to love on a week night Korean burger was stunning

Fantastic service from all staff, food is lovely and a great atmosphere to boot

Excellent food good and tasty good service and an excellent atmosphere all round.

My grandson and I had a lovely lunch yesterday. He had macaroni cheese and garlic bread. When I spilt a full cup of coffee over the table they were so attentive and brought me another cup and they were so sweet.

Nice place.....quite expensive food but I guess you get what you pay for.

Great food, huge selection and a cool atmosphere. I had Miami brunch, our lass had tapas and mac'n'cheese. Good coffee and freshly squeezed OJ. Top job

Poor service right from the off. Struggled to get a smile out of anyone. Ordered at the bar and was met with grumbles. Waited for drinks for one of them to be spilt over the table by waitress but no offer from them to clean up. Ordered dessert which took an hour to come and that was after prompting. It arrived cold and was very dry. Clearly been sat there for a while. Cocktails were average at best. Better off going to spoons.

Had a great lunch here. I chose Miami Brunch. It was so delicious 😋 would highly recommend it. Great chef in-house 👍🏻

Great atmosphere, for reading alone with a cuppa waiting for friends. Once they arrived we moved to a larger table and ordered food, which was delicious. Great service and pet friendly (I always enjoy meeting new doggos whilst out!).

Went for bunch on a Sunday morning, nice and quiet with plenty of seating available. Staff were polite and helpful. Easy no hassle experience, which is exactly what you need on a Sunday morning.

Good food in nice surroundings.

I have moved out of Penarth now, and honestly my biggest loss has been Ocho. I cannot count the number of times that I have been here, and each time the food has been impeccable, the service outstanding and the atmosphere is always great. For breakfast, a coffee, lunch or dinner, Ocho does not disappoint. Great value for money, and I love how its always open and welcoming. The online paying now is also a massive bonus (but you can also order at the counter if you want. Best place to eat in Penarth!

Super chilled atmosphere, food was amazing - loved it!!

Relaxed atmosphere, quick service, yummy wholesome food, plenty of gluten-free and vegan or dairy free options (simultaneously for those of us with multiple intolerances) and portion size felt just right.

Roedd y bwyd yn blasus ond roedd yr gwasanaeth gan yr weithwyr pam oedd yn mynd trwy'r drws yn araf, ond roedd y pobl eu hyn yn neis

Super food!! good service & atmosphere

Service is always good, food tasty, but watch out for the ketchup bottles, top not screwed on and I managed to cover myself, table, floor and sofa with ketchup in giving the bottle a shake... Refund given on my meal.

The food is always great, prices are reasonable but unfortunately the 'in house' Coke always tends to be flat!

Ocho Lounge has fast become my favourite place to eat out, or just to have drinks, and felt I wanted to share my heartfelt thanks to everyone who keeps this place running smoothly and efficiently; I appreciate how hard everyone works, also keeping it nice and clean, and is apparent throughout the visits I've made. Thank you, guys for making Ocho the place it is - very unique, with a warm, friendly, welcoming, relaxing atmosphere, where all ages like to spend time, including babies, children and pensioners. I was also very happy to see that dogs are welcomed! The food is lovely, and a variety to suit all palates. My mother said it was the best veggie cooked breakfast she has ever had, and you won't get sweet potato fries cooked to such perfection anywhere else! It is also wonderful that we can have a choice of non-dairy milks for coffee and hot chocolate. I can't fault Ocho lounge, but as you suggest to 'sprinkle in a few tips', a good stout such as Guiness, or something similar at the bar would be a good idea, and a bowl of water for the dogs out of the way by the bookcase would be very helpful, as they wait patiently for their owners to dine, they also get parched and in need of refreshment. Thank you Ocho Lounge!

An average place, a little pretentious but staff are pleasant

This is a great place. Amazing atmosphere and real choice of delicious vegan food. Staff lovely too!

What a great evening we had at my future daughter in law’s Hen Party. We were a group of 18 and so pre-ordered our meals from the great menu. From the time we arrived the staff were super helpful and friendly and made us very welcome. It was easy to order drinks at the table or go to the bar - a great range of cocktails and mocktails kept everyone very happy. The food was excellent and we had chosen a wide range from the menu. I had Nasi Goreng which was delicious. The Bang Bang Chicken was highly recommended as were various burgers. The atmosphere was relaxed and we had a great evening thanks.

Really delicious food. We ordered a flatbread, the bang bang chicken and a side of Mac and cheese - all great! Friendly service and relaxed atmosphere.

A good fusion of tasty well preprepared trad and trendy food. Good service. Fair prices. I would recommend this as a good place for a meal. Dogs allowed. Wi fi. Good.

Good food, nothing extreme but lovely staff, drinks and atmosphere in there

I love it here, the menu is fab and very broad. They have funky things that just work so well so it's easy to try new things. I've rated a 4 for food as the time before last they forgot my bread and Greek yoghurt with my shakshuka, and the last time I went I had the bang bang chicken noodles which were nice I just feel like the dish was missing something maybe a bit of sweetness? But we all enjoyed and I will definitely be back. I'm sure the staff would have been more than happy to help if I brought it to their attention. Oh and ladies toilets are 3 floors up which is not ideal at 39 weeks pregnant 🤣

Lovely cafe, good service and fair prices. Food was very good. Not too busy and good service again.

Comer una tapa en Penarth... La comida está muy bien.

Food was excellent nice to have a different non alcoholic drink to choose as a treat. Baby friendly.

wide range of food . AMAZING with gluten free options

We had a lovely GF and non GF breakfast this morning. The GF menu is great and not the type with a table and cross referencing that makes life difficult. The food was lovely and the lovely server with blond hair and perfect eyeliner flicks was brilliant.

Brilliant experience. Will definitely return.

A regular family time place for us 🥰 we love Ocho and Corvo 🥰❤️💖

Okay, mass produced food and service not the best

Food is always really good and staff are amazing

Fantastic service from Freya and lush cocktails!

Fabulous service and a great welcome from the manager Mark at Ocho Lounge in Penarth. We will definitely be back here. Food and coffee arrived hot and obviously freshly made

Beautiful food and the decor inside is lovely.

Great selection of food. We had the tapas and wine and coffee. All ordered via the app. Quick service too

The stair was had to clime I'm disabled thay neet a lifed

A well frequented lively place for all ages. Good service, great food. Allow time for finding street parking as no dedicated car park, having said that, will definitely use again.

Although I haven't eaten at this place it is a lovely place

We had a wonderful evening, the food was delicious and fresh, the atmosphere was amazing along with the 2 for 1 cocktails which went down really well, the staff are so friendly and attentive, Marcus the manager is an absolute joy to see working, he is so happy and can’t do enough to make your experience a memorable one, Ella is also wonderful, so friendly, happy and a credit to the team

Great steak frîtes, rocket salad with shaved parmesan is a winner. Excellent value for money. Staff lovely. A real asset to Penarth.

Large range of delicious vegan options, always great service and reasonable prices. Recommend the vegan breakfast and beyond burger.

Nice food, good veggie options and I love the raspberry lemonade. Good balance of food quality and price and very welcoming.

service and food great too. Will be back

Friendly service, clean tables, nice Tapas dishes served.

Lovely Bang Bang Chicken and Grapefruit Margarita.

Very busy but was given a table straight away (it was by the door so very draughty and cold). Ordered on the app at 10.40, food came at around 11.20 and drinks came while we were eating. Food was amazing as usual for a lounge

We used to really like Ocho but recently the dishes we loved have not only reduced in size but more disappointingly in quality. It’s now become over priced for the standard of food that’s being served.

Dog friendly but we waited an age to be served cold plates of food. Too many tables for the staff to cover effectively.

Very busy, got the only table left-at the back close to the loo and kitchen-not great. Staff were lovely though and working their socks off! My vegan sausage sarnie was delicious, my buddy's muffin and eggs not good. Needed a hacksaw to cut up the muffin. Lovely oat lattes though.

Have been using the Ocho lounge virtually on a daily basis and until recently been more than happy. However, the last 3 or 4 visits have been very disappointing. I think that’s it for me! I’m done. No more. Other local and better options are available and shall be used from now on.

Love this place, quirky atmosphere, staff are great, and vegan menu is amazing 👏 😋

Breakfast OK bacon was freezing won't be going there ever again
