The best restaurants in The Vale of Glamorgan South East

Went here for Sunday lunch with my husband and son. We were seated down stairs which was very intimate and cosy. The welcome was lovely and the young man serving us down stairs very very polite. There was no child's menu on show but they did have a selection for my son to choose from. Myself and husband both had the belly pork and we couldn't fault at all. Selection of wines was beautiful too. Will definitely go back. Thank you.

Very good food, excellent customer service. Authentic italian food, whilst having a small cosy family run feeling.

Banging breakfast , homemade chips , wow ! Good friendly service , deffo going again. Only downside was chopped toms and not plum toms on the breakfast

Have had food here before and the food and staff was excellent so decided to try the Sunday lunch. We were not disappointed. Friendly staff. Excellent food and good portions. Wonderful service. Lovely friendly and welcoming pub. You wont be disappointed by visiting.

Lovely friendly restaurant. Polite, helpful and attentive staff. Good atmosphere and view of the sea from a window table. Food served promptly and very tasty. We had haddock and chips and a crab salad. Will visited again.

Spacious restaurant offering authentic Turkish cuisine. Good food, fresh and tasty. Impeccable service. We were struggling to find somewhere to eat and found this place out of the main busier high streets. So pleased we stumbled across it because it was just so good. Just what we needed. Quiet and great food. Winner.

Always excellent service . Food outstanding. Lovely clean welcoming restaurant. Highly recommend you visit these lovely restaurants.

The staff always seem so happy and friendly, and the food is always stunning. Lived in Barry all my life and only tried the deli last month for the first time, I've been back about 5 times now.

Nice quirky place with a good range of coffee, and cake very minamalist in its decor. Staff are great and it attracts a good eclectic mix of people. I had the sausage roll and a cold dring and they were great. All in all a good place for a chilled weekend brew.

This cafe is situated just off the beaten track in Llantwit Major . The coffee is consitently good and the cakes are fresh. Try the peanut butter and jam blondie! They have a couple of tables outside although Covid measures are taken inside.

Superb service and such a friendly and helpful welcome. Coffee was great too. I needed to make a zoom call and they reserved the small room for me, and kept me well served with coffee and cake.

Absolutely blown away by the food and drink. Lovely atmosphere and friendly service. I'm not vegan but this had to have been one of the best lunches I've ever had. Will definitely be returning with more friends.

Comido aquí un número de veces ahora, la comida es realmente sabrosa y cada plato es único interesante. Los maridajes de vinos son generosos y de nuevo probé algunas bebidas que no he tomado anteriormente. Pequeño restaurante con un entorno muy relajado, el equipo es increíble y el servicio de todos ellos excelente. Fácil de acceder para aquellos que se aventuran fuera del centro de la ciudad. Volveremos regularmente ya que los platos cambian regularmente.

Ordered online with Uber Eats - incredible Pizza. No need for a dominos ever again.

Second Visit: Disappointing Compared to the First! My first visit to The Touring Club left a lasting impression—minimalistic Scandinavian design, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent food and drinks. Unfortunately, my second experience didn’t quite live up to the same standards. The sleek black exterior and Scandi-inspired interior remain highlights. The glass roof and open kitchen add charm, while the mix of bar seating, window stools, and cozy tables offers versatility. On this visit, I sat upstairs at the long communal table before moving downstairs as seats became available. However, space management remains an issue. By 2:15 PM, the venue felt cramped when a group of five arrived. The food aromas were present but not overwhelming, and the view of the chefs from the bar seating is still a nice touch. The Beef Sliders: Disappointingly dry, with average-quality meat. The kimchi and cheese added some flavor but lacked the moisture or richness a good sauce could have provided. The Crab and mango Salad: A lackluster dish with a small portion for the price. While the pesto was passable, the crab was underwhelming, and the accompanying vegetables didn’t elevate the dish. Gin Basil Smash cocktail : A letdown this time—less intensity and balance compared to my previous visit. The drink lacked the vibrant flavors I had enjoyed the first time. The team is warm but seemed somewhat overwhelmed - the wait for order was long and had to come down to ground level to prompt. Also be aware of a food service break between breakfast and lunch (12:30–1:00 PM) creates a gap where no food is served, which could be inconvenient for some diners.
