What a fabulous day out! We booked the chefs table, so we sat in front of the chefs preparing course after course. They were amazing young guys and girls who talked us through every drink and every course....all 11 of them. The trout tartar with horseradish and a beetroot crisp was insane. There were no bad dishes!

Comentarios buenos y no nos decepcionó! Elegimos del menú principal 6 entrantes emplatados entre 3 de nosotros. Cada uno fue preparado por expertos con una explicación completa de lo que contenían los platos. Cuando llegó la red, nos sorprendió gratamente que parte de la comida no era fácil de identificar! Suena raro, pero es fácil servir una zanahoria en rodajas de mantequilla, esta no sabíamos que era una zanahoria hasta que la cortamos y fue pura genialidad! ¡La carne de res era excepcional en sabor! ¡Cordero delicioso! Los postres tampoco decepcionaron y junto con el personal de servicio fabulosamente atento e informativo, toda la experiencia fue de las mejores que hemos tenido (e incluyo un restaurante 2 Michelin• London en esto! )

Quite simply the best meal out since I left Italy, ten years ago. Just one weak point I will address at the end. The booking on-line was clear and simple. On arrival, we were greeted by a friendly, efficient, professional Harrison who helped us select the best table and explained the menu options. We opted for the sharing plates. This was hugely generous and every dish was a delight, mixing meat, fish, vegetable there was innovation thought without any bollocks. The lovely Anna, from Sicily, took over serving our table so we could chat away in Italian. The whole place had a warm, friendly atmosphere. The two chefs, working in full view, were producing an amazing variety if dishes from what seemed no larger than a domestic kitchen. They were laughing and smiling and obviously enjoying themselves. All staff added to the sense of fun. Everything was perfect and the whole experience was sheer joy from start to finish. This is a unique and exceptional restaurant which defines categorisation. Influences of classic British dishes, Italian, oriental but not a (ghastly) "fusion" place. Neither was it the curse of today and the chef's "tasting menu" when one is supposed to bow and pray to the chef! We loved every minute and will be back. The one fault and it is rather glaring: the wines were the usual suspect from, I believe, Boring Wines Direct. Oh dear. Such excellent dishes require, deserve, excellent wines. We settled on the Pinot Nero from Kosovo, which is a decently riced red table wine but would have happily paid more for something better. So much effort has gone into every detail of this place, decor, layout, seating staff selection and training, stunning dishes and the such a sad a boring wine list. Please, Parallel, get yourselves a better wine supplier. Next time we will book and pay corkage and bring wines of a quality to match your food

Wow … so excited to have found a hidden gem in the centre of Cardiff. We had the tasting menu and were truly spoiled by the food, atmosphere and especially by Anna and the whole team, who talked us through the dishes and the ethos of this incredible restaurant.

MARIUS !!!! You made my whole holiday!! Marius looked after me amazingly on Friday, I have a full spectrum of allergies and he took the time to go through the menu with the Chefs and offer me possibly the best meal I have ever eaten! The effort he went to to ensure I was looked after was second to none. I'm so truly thankful he works there and honestly he deserves so much recognition (a raise too after Friday he deserves it)!! Please I hope this review finds you as I can't stop talking about the experience you gave us and I extend a huge thank you to you and to your team! You are amazing !

Had a lovely visit here yesterday. They offer a tasting menu but we opted for the menu where we could choose our own dishes. We had croquettes, crab on toast and crispy chicken ….the chicken was outstanding and we could have happily eaten more! We then had pit beef, new potatoes with chicken skin and their signature carrot. All the dishes were delicious and the service was very good. The lady who served us was Ella and she was brilliant. She explained how the menus worked, offered suggestions on the food and wine and was very friendly and welcoming. Overall a very enjoyable experience

Booked this as a special treat for two mum friends and their two daughters to celebrate one daughter's graduation and the other daughter getting engaged. All of us had previously been to Pasture and enjoyed that experience. I rarely order steak when going out so for all its fab ambience, good food and great staff Pasture for me isn't top of my choices to rebook. For me, Parallel blew Pasture out of the water. We visited on a Sunday lunch time and the staff were outstanding - so friendly and helpful but in a really natural and authentic way. The cocktails were delicious. The food was just incredible. Like many previous reviewers have said the vegetable dishes were just stunning. We all fancied the ratatouille dish which was on the menu served with goats cheese. None of us like goats cheese so we asked if we could have the ratatouille on its own. The staff weren't having any of that and were keen to give us a similar experience so we had ratatouille served on burrata instead and it was mind-blowingly good. Not asked for but evidence to me of going the extra mile to create the best food and service experience. We also ordered dessert, which was of the same standard as the mains and our daughters were given a complimentary brownie each on a congratulations dish. We hadn't mentioned the special occasion when we booked but as we were shown to our table we were asked if we were celebrating anything special. Such a nice spontaneous touch on top of a wonderful experience. I will definitely be rushing back. It was fab and I'd highly recommend.

This is a lovely restaurant with really friendly staff. It was busy when we were there creating a buzzy atmosphere . All the small plates we had were amazing but funnily enough the star of the show for us was the plain old carrot. We just couldn't believe how delicious a giant carrot can be. The desserts deserve a special mention as well as they were very different and gave a fab end to the evening. Just felt the tables were too close together which made you feel a bit rammed in.

Second time here and was not disappointed. Food is delicious. We had the chefs set menu which is great value considering all the disses you get and a cocktail. Talking of cocktails they are so unique and wonderful. The coconut and pineapple is just *chef’s kiss* The set menu also lets you try a bit of everything and there wasn’t a single dish I disliked. One friend isn’t into fish so much but even they enjoyed those dishes. The flatbread is just incredible for such a simple dish as well. Service is very attentive and so friendly. Our server Anna was always quick off the mark and we felt so well looked after. Only one small comment is music could be a little quieter. Otherwise another fantastic visit and quickly becoming a favourite in Cardiff.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner last night at Parallel! James, the Parallel manager, welcomed us as soon as we walked through the front door, and got us settled into our seats for the evening, immediately got us menus and guided us through menu adjustments for a gluten free dining restriction. Our server, Daisy, was fantastic every step of the way! Great food paired with wonderful red wines by the glass as well… We had pre-dinner cocktails consisting of a lemongrass-dill margarita for my wife and a smoked maple old fashioned for myself. Our starters were Padron peppers with cashew yoghurt and a hoisin mushroom topped crumpet with kimchi styled thinned sliced onions and veggies Our main courses were Rolled Sirloin with burnt onion butter and Braised Short ribs in chimichurri salsa. They were accompanied by veggie sides of Broccoli, broccoli salsa and cauliflower purée & Fir potatoes in a Cavolo Nero pesto Our desserts were chocolate and olive oil with shaved dark chocolate over a crème mousse along with a rhubarb and white chocolate sauce over a crème Mousse as well. A few times during our meal, Nick, one of the Parallel chefs, stopped by our table to chat about our dinner choices and the kitchen team’s preparation of each course. What a wonderful experience we had. 5 Stars all the way. Making Reservations appears to be a must for anyone wanting to dine here at Parallel!

Sadly we can’t rate parallel any more than we have . We looked forward to our meal with bated breath after thoroughly enjoying their sister restaurant Pasture . Some of the main reason’s for this are that they play extremely loud music , so loud that you can’t even hear yourself speak and the fact that it’s absolutely tiny , you either end up seated on a bar stool or by the door . To enjoy this kind of food (which is a tasting menu costing roughly £100 a head if you have a few alcoholic drinks) you should have enough space to move .

Parallel is right next door to Pasture, bang in the city centre, with the same ownership and shares some of the same kitchen space. Pasture requires booking well in advance which is why Parallel was our second choice. It's quite small, much smaller than it looks on their website, but that's ok. it's very informal with some of the seating on stools next to the chefs' cooking area, so don't expect white linen table cloths and silver service, but it certainly isn't "down-market". There is background music, but it's not too intrusive. Quite chilled and easy going. Nice. The menu is "small plates", so lots of small individual dishes. Each dish shared between two or one per person, but sharing makes more sense. Don't even think of sharing one plate between three. Dinner for two probably needs about eight or ten dishes. However there is a set tasting menu at about £60 pp which we had and would recommend, and we certainly did not leave hungry. The dishes are all very different, every one was delicious! A whole carrot (well a very special carrot!), seared padron peppers, shredded lamb, fillet of beef, and others. All were a real treat. The staff are great. They seem to know when to be there and when to leave you alone, but of course they will be bringing all those plates so at your table or seat frequently. Marius seems to run things, and does a really great job while still finding time to chat with customers. The wine list was ok, but only ok-ish. More detail of each wine is needed. Our choice really did need decanting or opening at least an hour before drinking, but of course that's not possible in most restaurants. I would order a cheaper one next time so I wouldn't care too much. Come here for the food not the wine. Food at this level requires as much attention to the wine. Highly recommended. Obviously not cheap. You could spend the same amount or less on a more conventional meal, but it would not be as interesting and possibly not as pleasurable. I need to get myself organised enough to make a booking at its bigger next door neighbour.

Fuimos a cenar y fue tan bueno que volvimos a almorzar al día siguiente! Todos los elementos del menú son sin gluten o se pueden hacer sin gluten, pero eso no compromete la calidad o el sabor, pedimos básicamente todo y fue increíble. Trae la salsa de tocino. Confía en mí. Al restaurante - Tuve que dar cualquier crítica que diría que debe apagar sus pedidos de aplicaciones de entrega cuando se pone mega ocupado. Tener que pasar por delante de 10 personas + sus bicicletas solo para llegar a la puerta no es tan bueno. También significa que la gente que realmente come en el lugar tiene que esperar bastante tiempo para todo. Sé que es un negocio y el objetivo es ganar dinero pero ir más allá de tu capacidad es un mal negocio. Sin embargo, todavía volvería una y otra y otra vez!

Atmosphere is wonderful and very peaceful, food is passable. Staff are quiet and helpful. Ordering process is uniquely hands off. I had some nice banana pancakes for a late breakfast; however my review is necessarily poor because after my last visit ended I was violently ill when I got home for roughly 20 minutes, and then voided my bowels for another 10. As such I can’t recommend you eat here.

The food was amazing, the service was a bit cold. The potted pig dish really stood out.

Fui aquí con algunos compañeros de trabajo.La comida era deliciosa, realmente disfruté el plato de lubina que tuve aunque pensé que había demasiadas habas que venían con él. Me encantó la presentación y la vajilla.El ambiente era bueno y el personal estaba realmente encima de asegurarse de que tuviéramos suficientes bebidas, etc. Todo estaba bien explicado al principio y me sentí cómodo yendo allí.¡Definitivamente lo recomendaría!

not bad place, quite busy during thee lunchhour, so bit difficult finding a seat, so watch out for that, fast music, eat to the beat. Eat quick.
