The Touring Club in The Vale of Glamorgan

Fantastic restaurant, lovely atmosphere, spotlessly clean , food and drinks were excellent . What really makes this place is the lovely welcoming staff and the warm environment. Sat in the window and enjoyed Welsh Rarebit and a thirst quenching lemonade and lime. The pleasure of eating good food in a warm atmosphere looking out onto the rain was extremely enjoyable. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Wonderful breakfast and fabulous staff. Emma is so welcoming as is the whole team! Highly recommended place to eat in Penarth

Relaxed, welcoming and good small plates. Been a couple of times and the food and service have been consistently good. If anything we would like more changes in the menu as it is a short menu and you feel that you could try more of anything they do as always great !!

This was our first visit to this super cool bar / bistro. We went for a Friday lunch for two and very much enjoyed a glass of house white and a glass of prosecco with good quality olives while we waited (a short time) for the food. We shared one crab on toast and one Welsh Rarebit and both were beyond excellent. The crab came with a good piece of lemon and the cheese came with some Worcester sauce, or similar, on the side. The toast was made from high quality sourdough (?) and was large and first class. The service was very good and the whole place had a sharp, smart look to it. The bill came to £50 with coffees.

This new restaurant has been open in the town I live in for a couple of months so I thought I would give it a try. I visited on a very wet Sunday morning. Although I just had coffee and a wonderful pastry the brunch menu looked great. I watched them preparing the food in the open kitchen, behind the bar, and will be back for the Miso Roasted mushrooms on sourdough with tahini for sure. The staff were friendly, the place was clean and I had a lovely time sheltering from the rain. My pastry was enormous - a chocolate pastry, and the staff kindly found me a bag to take the remainder home with me. I eyed up the cocktail menu for a future visit. They don't take reservations but one of the chefs explained that there is usually only a short wait for a table, in the bar area.
