My husband and I went on Sunday to celebrate Mothers’ Day - admittedly without the kids. Thomas was no place to offer a bit of a treat, however. This year, Mothers’ Day clashed with the Six Nations, and the restaurant andbar were filled with supporters having the noisy time of their lives. Filled to the brim with half-cut rugby fans in the bar, we were told to wait for our table. Which we did. For ages. No offer of a drink or a menu to look at. Stuck practically in the middle of a scrum. We waited for about 20-25 minutes for someone to take our drinks order and when the waitress finally turned up, we were told the staff would be prioritising the rugby crowd, as they had a match to get to. No mention of this when it was booked. By now, we’d been waiting nearly an hour, and the volume was increasing as the rugby crowd got more interested in the booze than being respectful of others. Plenty of time to take in the ambience… unfortunately. The colour scheme (green/red/salmon pink) was hideous, the toilets fairly grubby and tatty. I’m all for unpretentious dining, but this was just cheap and unwelcoming. There was terrible glare from the windows as there was no shading, and the noise levels were almost unbearable. I wanted to leave, but my husband had paid a hefty deposit, so we stayed. The food - which should have been amazing was totally ‘meh’. £18 for a small egg-cup sized lemon gin cocktail was frankly taking the piss. The crab cocktail was a sloppy circle of watery sauce with crab bits on what appeared to be uncooked leek and tiny bits of apple, texturally uninviting. I would have asked the waiting staff what was in it, but it was pretty clear we’d been forgotten by this point. The beef that eventually followed was ok. I don’t mind mine pink, but this could have been reanimated by a decent vet. There were only two accompanying veg; swede/carrot and braised red cabbage, both were too sweet. There was also a flavourless tiny spoonful of white stuff I assumed was supposed to contain horseradish, but it was too bland to tell. The roasties had clearly been deep fried, but were nice enough. My poor husband had a sad, meagre bit of pork with a teaspoon of what he assumed to be apple sauce. We’ll never know as we’d ceased to exist at all by this point. The desserts were ok - sticky toffee pudding was microwaved and the chocolate torte was unremarkable. For a place which clearly coasts on its reputation, we had nothing that was in any way outstanding. It was all edible; just very ordinary - dare I say boring? The prices are ridiculous for what we had. Fine dining? Nope. But the crowds of fans quaffing huge quantities of overpriced vin rouge, seemed to enjoy it. We won’t be back.

I had my first visit to Thomas for Sunday lunch. It did not disappoint. Staff are so friendly, and the food was delicious.

Thomas is one of the few places in Cardiff to offer close to a fine dining experience. Unpretentious in its style it offers a warm and welcoming service on arrival through to table service. The menu changes regularly depending on the season. We liked the leaflet of the map of their suppliers to show the food’s provenance. The food is a good balance of top quality ingredients, and mouth watering sauces without being too heavy, We enjoyed grilled oysters, lobster tart, turbot with champagne and caviar sauce, beef fillet, passion fruit sorbet, tonka bean custard. There is also a cheese trolley with an interesting cheese menu organised by soft/hard mild/strong. For next time 😊

We enjoyed a pre Christmas night away without the kids. Having been a few years ago it’s always been on our “to do list” to go again so had booked months earlier. A warm welcome was followed by possibly some of the nicest food we have ever eaten. Mushroom Croquettes and Tea soaked chicken as nibbles. Mushroom parfait and a bbq leek starters Fillet of beef with onion tartlet for main with a side of truffle Mac & Cheese which was Devine! Peanut butter parfait and apple crumble for desert. If you like food, you’ll love it here!

We were lucky enough to grab a fairly last minute table here on Friday night (booked a week ago). A lovely cosy restaurant in a smart suburb of Cardiff (less than 10 mins in a taxi from Cardiff castle). The restaurant was very busy when we arrived (at the time of our booking) and we were seated at the bar for about 30 mins before our table was ready. It then took almost another 30 minutes for our food order to be taken, so we’d worked up quite an appetite by then - fortunately the drinks kept us going. The waitress did apologise for the delay though which we appreciated. The food was all lovely, delicious and well presented. We chose al la carte and particularly enjoyed the mushroom parfait, oysters, day boat fish (turbot) and carrot side dish. I also thought the wine selection available by the glass was very good. We’d like to return and try out the tasting menu!

Been wanting to try here for a while……it was worth the wait ! We arrived late Wednesday lunch and were pleased we were able to get a table at the end of service. Great lunch, beautifully cooked,presented and served. Better than some of the Michelin restaurants we have tried. We can’t wait to come back to try the taster menu ( ps the truffle mash was exceptional ! )

Excellent set lunch menu. Even better with 50% discount offer and a Christmas gift voucher present! Food and the service was excellent. Only gripe is that no vegetables were included with the mains. A dish of seasonal vegetables included would have been a bonus. However at full price it would have made for a very expensive lunch including a bottle of wine.

Had a great meal here. Visiting my son In Cardiff. The service was excellent & food delicious. We had bread & croquettes “for the table” one of each between the 4 of us - enough for the 4 of us to taste (3 croquettes). I had smoked haddock scotch egg starter - nicely tasting of the smoked haddock. Main course Beef - cooked perfectly for me. & dessert miso caramel sticky toffee pudding- light & tasty. Courses were reasonable size (starters smaller) so not stuffed.

Good set lunch menu, Jan sale made it very good value. Lamb loin, and sticky toffee pick of the courses. Couple of slight disappointments though (potato shards in particular), especially given how much this place is usually bigged up.

A beautiful meal, in a beautiful restaurant. My girlfriend and I ate here last night before catching a show in the new theatre. We don’t use phones at the table so I will do my best to breakdown the meal without the use of photos. Every course, every side was cooked masterfully. The fried chicken starter was light, crispy, painfully moorish. The Oysters with caviar were in a delicious buttery sauce. We had a chateaubriand as it was on special, seasoned beautifully, paired with a thick and rich beef and red wine gravy, baked carrots which had (I think) pumpkin seeds and purée and a wonderful creamy mash potato. I almost felt like I was eating a take on a Sunday lunch, it was brilliant. I had to try the mac and cheese side which had truffle shavings and mushrooms puree. It was just perfect. Desert. Peanut butter parfait with banana ice cream. All I can say about that is next time my partner can get her own because I will not be sharing it again!! The plates were empty and we were both so happy. We have eaten in a lot of very nice places over the last few months. A few weekends ago we had a similar pre show meal (in terms of size and plates/drinks ordered) in London and the bill was over double what I paid last night. Thomas is priced very very well for food of this quality. A very very special mention in this review was the outstanding cocktails. I wish I had asked the lads name so I could mention him personally. I had 4 beautiful cocktails. The ice cubes are stamped with their logo, a brilliant detail. Stone Sour - a ginger and apricot, fresh fragrant, Very hard to take your time with as it’s that good. Psy-coconut - sweet and tasty. it would make a wonderful desert cocktail as well. Old fashioned - best old fashioned in Cardiff. The final cocktail - sadly I can’t remember the name of it as I asked the mixologist to send out his best, which he delivered himself - Another beautiful whiskey cocktail, a hint of floral. Very strong, sooo tasty - a 10/10 mix and the best cocktail of the night. I challenge anyone to come to this restaurant and leave unhappy. Thank you for a stunning meal, served by lovely staff. We will be back very soon. PS - if you guys see this review, it would be great to know the name of your mixologist so next time I book in I can make sure he’s working! Thanks.

This is our second visit and we opted for the four course set lunch menu which is such good value for money for the food we were treated to. Enough choice and we both shared each part of the meal as there was so much to enjoy. The cod and lamb for mains were outstanding and we both loved the sticky toffee dessert. We couldn’t wait to eat to take photos: it’s that good. £38 per person for a four course menu is an absolute steal for the flavours, dishes and service you’re treated to. We will be back again…and again. Cannot fault anything.

Surely the best restaurant in Cardiff? The menu doesn't do the food justice, simple sounding dishes elevated to a completely other level. The mushroom butter with the bread was the best flavoured butter I've had, the mushroom croquettes were delicious, the 'Fish and chips' is probably my favourite fish dish in Cardiff, the 'chips' are extraordinary I still drool over the pictures from my last visit. Every dish we had from the nibbles to dessert just blew us away It's not cheap so definitely more of a place for a special occasion, still worth every penny

The whole experience was 10/10 and we’re looking forward to going back to try the tasting menu!

Had high expectations for a lovely evening, food was good, however seated 45 mins late for an 8:15 booking, very noisy dining room with a large work Christmas party booking and slow service let the evening down and nothing like you would expect for a £75 tasting menu.

We went here for my birthday and having eaten at many Michelin restaurants over the years this was absolutely superb , shows that stars aren’t necessarily the be all and end all There was no course in the taster menu that had any faults . The cooked oysters ( which were extra ) were amazing , full of flavour and absolutely delicious , the chicken parfait was possibly one of the nicest I’ve eaten , the brill course was again perfect as was the scallop dish , perfectly cooked and the accompaniment was amazing . The lamb was easily one of the best I’ve had , and the “ chips “ unbelievable, could have had a plate of those . Desserts were great, service was excellent , friendly , not over the top . This was a fantastic experience , will definitely return

Each dish was so well put together and the flavours so delicately complimented each other, it was the best meal either of us have had. We couldn’t have asked for more from our server, Adam. From the start we felt welcomed and really cared for, each course was perfectly explained to us along with why the wine pairing was selected, and the attention to detail was outstanding. Thank you so much for making our night, I would highly recommend this to anybody, and we will definitely be back! Thank you again Adam, you were the icing on the cake for the perfect evening!

Full of goodness. I haven't enjoyed eating out as much for a while. The food was delicious. Flavours that blended perfectly. Who knew smoked haddock worked so well with sweetcorn? (You did, didn't you?) A clean, smart, spacious-feeling place. I was prepared for a stuffy or sniffy vibe but was wrong - friendly, relaxed and warm. Rosita looked after us so well. Anything on the menu we wanted to know about was explained. We did not feel any pressure about anything so relaxed and loved the whole thing. Negatives? Nope. Parking is always a pain in Pontcanna, so perhaps sort a lift or a cab or even walk. However you do it, get here! It quite rightly didn't cost two pounds seventy for anything. I think it was worth it. Looking forward to returning for the fish and chips... although calling "Tom's Chips" merely chips does them a disservice - they're layered potato cooked, cut and fried to perfection. Hat off to the other Tom in the kitchen, who the chips are named after. This place deserves all the attention it's getting.

I had a really nice experience at Thomas. Solo traveller visiting from Toronto. Pros were the interior (lovely!), presentation of the food and excellent cocktails (the house martini was probably one of the best drinks I've had). Service was very friendly. My only feedback is that it felt as though Cardiff in general is 'catching up' a little bit when it comes to finer dining when compared to a NYC/Toronto/London (makes sense, given the size and scale of those cities). The lighting was too bright for a Saturday evening, the music felt too "elevator"-esque and service felt overly formal. However, that didn't take away from the delicious food and I still had a great time! The fish was a standout for me, as was the opening sourdough but I have a well-established bread obsession so I can't entirely be trusted here (ha). Thanks, Thomas!

Visited for dinner on a Saturday night. Great atmosphere and service throughout. We all really enjoyed the food. The salmon starter was delicious (but really tiny even for a stater) the rest of the dishes were normal size portions and really great quality. I’ve already...

Excellent fine dining without making you feel out of place. Staff were so friendly, attentive without making you feel awkward. Will be making a booking again soon with friends who enjoy fine dining.

Amazing food. The barmaid should know better than to talk about patrons when they are in earshot. Better service was expected, regardless.

Well; staff and shop is very nice, you definitely should pass by and try the fabulous welshcakes but dont expect a taste bomb in your mouth. They taste exactly like they look :) 12 pieces for 6 pounds

Great breakfasts and breakfast brioche rolls, super quick service and all piping hit (many places will serve a lukewarm breakfast with food that's not freshly cooked, certainly not the case here). Gl
