I recently dined at The New Curiosity with my wife and team from work and we had an exceptional experience. We all indulged in the 3-courses and each dish was simply amazing. The quality of the food was top-notch, and I was impressed by the flavors and presentation of each course. The staff at The New Curiosity were outstanding. Especially Rachel the owner and Manager, we found her to be very attentive, friendly, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. The professionalism and hospitality added to the overall dining experience. You could see they truly cared for their customers and wanted to make sure they had a good experience. We even go to meet Dan the owner and chef at the end of the night, which was lovely and he sat and spoke with us telling us all of his stories from when he started and how he became a chef. What stood out to me the most was the reasonable pricing for such high-quality food. The value for money at The New Curiosity is truly remarkable, considering the level of culinary excellence and service provided. Overall, I highly recommend The New Curiosity to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with delicious food, exceptional service, and great value. It is definitely worth a visit!

I have just had Sunday lunch at this exceptional restaurant. As soon as I walked in I felt the warmth from the fire and was calmed by the tasteful decoration. The waitresses were courteous and efficient, and my meal arrived in a timely manner. I had chosen to have the main course only - roast chicken with no fewer than five vegetables (broccoli, carrots, red cabbage, swede and sprouts) and gravy. The meal not only looked bright and colourful, but also tasted delicious.

Absolutely amazing! Booked our table via email with Rachel and the communication was swift and easy. The food on the night was spectacular. The menu had enough variety without being overly complicated with options. The service and atmosphere were fantastic and it helped make my partners birthday even more special for her. First class restaurant and I would highly recommend.

Absolutely loved my night out here last night. The food was absolutely stunning, I had the lobster and I can honestly say it was the best meal I have ever tasted. The starter and dessert was also top quality 👌 The atmosphere was very relaxing and calm, and the place is beautifully decorated. It is also extremely clean, and the toilets were spotless and smelt beautiful. 10/10 for the service, atmosphere and food. So impressed and would highly recommend to others. Parking was also easy (within 2 minutes' walking distance) and we didn't have to pay as it was after 6pm. Thanks for a lovely evening 😊 xxxx

It is a very good restaurant with good, well presented food . Not your usual restaurant food a bit more exclusive. There are only 8 tables allowing a good atmosphere for talking . The staff were pleasant and helpful. We had the Christmas menu, either the standard Turkey or beef, salmon all perfectly cooked. Starters were gorgeous, as were the deserts. This is a very stylish restaurant well worth a visit if you like good food. I'm looking forward to going back to try their normal menue.

Our son, who lives in Australia bought us a voucher for the New Curiosity and once lock-down was lifted we rang and made a reservation. The restaurant is easy to find and parking is just down the road and free after 6.00pm. The interior is fresh and the staff very welcoming and polite. The menu is excellent and the food is just delightful. We managed 3 courses and enjoyed each one. The wait between courses is not to long and definitely worth waiting for. If you want excellent service, food and surroundings for your fine dining, the New Curiosity is definitely worth booking for your next meal out.

Hi Rachael ,I was born and brought up in Carmarthen , and we have visited your restaurant a couple of times in the past . We have never been disappointed with your service and quality of your food . During this current lockdown my wife and I decided to take a walk through the town last Saturday evening , we live in Springfield Road , so this is very convenient . As we walked through King St we could see the light of your restaurant on and somebody picking up a take away meal . My wife then looked at your Sunday take away menu on your window , and decided we would try and book for the following day , which we did . We booked to pick up at 14.40pm , when I arrived there was only one person waiting and social distancing was easy to conform with . The young man asked the name of the booking and the food was brought from the kitchen to the restaurant within minutes , fantastic service . Being only minutes from the restaurant to our home , the food was still piping hot and ready to eat .How you can prepare a take away Sunday lunch too such a high standard is just unbelievable . I had the beef and my wife had the chicken , the food was prepared to the highest standard, and the portions were very very generous . My wife had the crumble and I had the pannacota and again prepared to the highest standard . My I take this opportunity to thank yourself Dan , and any other staff members who were responsible for such great service and food in these very difficult times . Joanna & Roger Phillips .

We held our wedding reception here recently and the whole experience was first class. From the original enquiry to the final event, Rachel was always available to help with planning. Due to the covid situation the seating had to be re-arranged to follow socially distanced rules, but it was still possible to feel that we were all one party. On the day we were welcomed into a lovely warm atmosphere and served with the best food, beautifully cooked and presented. There was so much choice - Dan had sent us sample menus tailored to our list of likes and dislikes - and we and our guests pre-ordered. Nearly everyone said they had trouble choosing as it all sounded so good and on the day, they all agreed that every dish was delicious. They have a very good wine list too and a full bar so most drinks are available. We couldn't have chosen a better place to hold our small reception and we can definitely recommend The New Curiosity to anyone who enjoys first class food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The staff were very attentive and professional.This is a fairly small restaurant, but has a wonderful feel about it.

The service compliments the quality of the food, Rachel is lovely and the team are efficient and friendly. In these difficult times for the hospitality industry, the New Curiosity provides a safe environment within a charming and comfortable restaurant. I would highly recommend a visit.... probably one of, if not the best restaurant in Carmarthenshire!

Came here with family who were visiting us and previously we had been impressed with this restaurant.This visit was outstanding. We had a selection from the menu and every dish of all three courses was fabulously presented and tasted even better. The waitress even gave my wife a complimentary glass of Prosecco as her food was approximately 2 minutes behind the rest of ours which we have never had before.The cleanliness was also a huge focus for this restaurant which in these times is essential with the handles of the toilet doors being cleaned at least three times in the two hours we were there.The staff were very friendly, certious and professional and the cost you pay for the whole experience which I would say is very much Michelin star quality is great value.We will be coming here much more often.

This review was written whilst we were all still undertaking Covid19 precautions so, when we arrived at the door our temperature was taken by a member of staff wearing a face mask and we were asked to use the hand sanitiser before being shown our table which was 2m from the next table. This is no more than we should all expect and full points to the restaurant staff for this.As for the food? I was spoiled for choice. Do I have the Rib Eye steak, Pork belly, Hake, (and I love fish), or the duck? I went for the duck whilst my partner had the pork. We weren't disappointed in any of our 3 courses which were all superb! What about the price? £14 was an amazing price for the duck and I would happily have paid an extra £5 for my duck, especially when I paid £14 for pie and chips in a local pub back home. The staff were very friendly and attentive, as they should be and I'm sure I'll be back in Camarthen again some time, and I will definitely be booking when I do.

The New Curiosity just never fails us! Mussels and home baked bread to start, absolutely delicious. Nothing makes you more content than dipping a piece of home baked bread in that rich white wine sauce. Men had steak which never fails to bore either of them and me and my friend tried the pork belly with bubble and squeak........... oh to be freed from the house to eat this again! Loved it! We have decided to call Dan “The Sauceror” .............. I could actually sit there and drink his gravies and sauces by the cupful. I think they should sell them! New wine menu and I had the Patagonia Mimosa which was very nice indeed. We were all too giddy with excitement, alcohol and the pure joy of being allowed out again to tackle a dessert! They very kindly let us take desserts home from the take away menu. I had a white chocolate cheesecake which I’m sure will also be delicious but at 7:30 in the morning, the review on that will have to wait .............. you have to draw the line somewhere! Well done NC and thank you Rachel for making us feel as welcome as always

Wonderful evening at this restaurant sharing walnut bread, olives and pheasant in a port reduction. Even the tender broccoli stems were cooked to perfection- that bright mineral green with just enough bite left in the stem, unlike the anaemic trees that quite often end up on a plate! We sampled a local Porter that married well with our meal and the staff were attentive, relaxed and super friendly. I really hope this restaurant goes from strength to strength as they have hit the sweet spot- a menu far superior to the homogenous pub chains we are largely left with in towns, without the price being too aspirational. Intimate enough for a romantic meal but accommodating for larger groups of diners. Thank you - a smashing meal after a spot of Jane Austen at the cinema! We will be back!

It was a decent effort but overpriced. You need a wow at that price and it doesn’t deliver. The food had obviously been blasted in the microwave and was stupidly hot. You couldn’t taste it. Heard good things and was disappointed sadly. The screw top bottle of Chablis at £42 was a liberty really. It was a £10 supermarket bottle. Come on guys, you can do better.

First visit to The New Curiosity, went for Sunday lunch, it was a first class experience, staff gave very good service, the lunch was the best I have had for a long time.Would recommend you try the roast beef and homemade Yorkshire pudding, so so good.

This restaurant is highly recommended, we both had 3 delicious courses for our Wedding Anniversary and a good bottle of red wine. The food was excellent, figs and goat cheese, a mackerel starter. One of the best Duck mains, with lovely vegetables selection I’ve tried. Dessert didn’t disappoint the Chocolate Brownie Sundae with Peanut butter and Raspberry’s. If you like good food this is definitely the place to go. Also the restaurant itself is decorated tastefully and the tables have good spacing. Nothing like trying to have a quiet dinner being cramped in. The service was excellent first class. This place a Carmarthen gem.

This is a great small restaurant with original and well cooked food. The service is prompt friendly and knowledgeable. I had an outstanding steak- wonderful meat. Wine was reasonable price. Highly recommended.

We are sure glad that we did...booked a table for wife's birthday - we were staying in the area and after reading the reviews decided to visit, and we are both happy bunnies. All the courses were well presented and flavourful - I can recommend the roasted peach with goats cheese, lamb main course and lime and coconut cheesecake. Service was attentive and good. Atmosphere was relaxed, food described as locally sourced Welsh ingredients cooked in a 'modern' way. Overall a great evening meal out, wish we lived closer as we would both visit again.

We went to the New Curiosity for a family meal (14 of us). I booked in advance, paid a deposit and circulated the menu so we could pre-order our starters and main courses and those who had a sweet tooth pre-ordered their desserts.We all loved our meals - all the plates went back to the kitchen scraped clean!I had roasted peach with goats cheese, followed by the salmon which was delicious. I think between us we had most of the dishes on the menu.The people who had soup said it was amazing - curried cauliflower with an onion bhajee in the middle.The consensus was the sauces with the main courses were great (all served separately so you could choose how much you wanted).The desserts looked like works of art. The favourite was the lime and coconut cheesecake with mango sauce, followed by the elderflower panacotta. The chocolate brownie was huge (and apparently delicious!)Overall a huge success - thank you to Dan and Rachel Williams and their team.

My husband and I had a delicious meal at the New Curiosity yesterday evening. Excellent choice of food and beautifully presented. It was like eating the kind of dishes you see on Masterchef. The restaurant is also tastefully decorated with plenty of space between tables. Good service too. Bendigedig. Diolch.

Ate here recently for a works birthday night out. The restaurant has been decorated beautifully and the staff are so friendly and helpful but the food, the food is genuinely fantastic. Without a doubt the best meal I've eaten in some time and while it's not cheap it's worth every penny. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I have a dairy free diet and usually come off badly when dining out however, nothing was too much trouble and the food was delicious. I had told them I was coming but even so there were several choices of mains - we had the lamb duo which was very tasty and then - as there was no 'cooked ' pud on the menu for me the chef made me a rhubarb and apple crumble so I did not feel left out - as our waitress reported back to them that I had hoped for a cooked pud! Best meal of our week long holiday in Wales.

We enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch here whilst visiting friends - they had never actually been here before themselves but I know they will return. I’m all for constructive criticism when required but there is absolutely nothing that I can offer on this occasion except to say we could t finish it all. The food was outstanding - the best Sunday lunch out we have ever had. The service was first class - very friendly efficient and professional. We live in Surrey so sadly can’t become regulars ourselves but if we lived closer we certainly would - thank you

Abbiamo fatto in una settimana circa 2.000 km e il livello della ristorazione è stato di medio basso livello, poi arriviamo in un paesino un po’ sperduto e troviamo il ristorante migliore incontrato fino ad oggi. Complimenti allo chef, finalmente una mise en place decorosa, camerieri gentili e professionali, ma soprattutto materia prima fantastica. Unico neo cottura della pasta ma credo che in UK sia normale e non si possa pretendere la cottura al dente... Punto importante riguardante la cortesia. Mia moglie ha detto che ha problemi con aglio e cipolla crudi e sono andati 3 volte ha chiedere allo chef. Scelta decorosa sui vini ma un po’ scarsini sulle birre. BRAVI veramente!!!

Visited this lovely restaurant for the first time Saturday lunchtime, it was very welcoming and the staff were very helpful and friendly, it is decorated very tastefully and it has a cosy comfortable feel.There was the choice of a lunchtime set menu with 2 or 3 courses or A la carte. It is an excellent restaurant for someone looking for gluten free options as I was, they are very helpful and adjusted the dishes I chose as needed with no fuss at all. We opted for the set menu which was very good value and a good selection of dishes.

Wonderful ambience, brilliant service with excellent food and a great variety of veg. The meat was awesome.The team went out of their way to adapt to our wide range of dietary needs - allergies and intolerances. It’s my first time here but my friends come here often. A real must for any visitors to Carmarthen.
