The best restaurants in Baruc The Vale of Glamorgan South East

On a short visit to South Wales, we wanted to visit Barry because of it's links to a certain TV programme. Unfortunately it was a wet, windy autumn day. The actual sea front at Barry has been extensively modernised and now has great walks to explore. It still has some of the old more traditional sea side businesses, which are important to retain. Bay 5 is in a great location, and provides good quality coffee and snacks, at a (slightly) higher price than some of the traditional businesses nearby - we felt there was room for both here. In summery, great coffee, pancakes with friendly/helpful owner/staff.

We have been visiting the Casa Paco restaurant for a few years. Each meal is better than the last and we’re always made to feel welcome. The meals are consistently high standard, I can’t wait to go again. We had many deliveries in lockdown and they were always piping hot and fresh. Karen and the team are wonderful hosts and cannot do enough for us. My favourite it the fillet steak and Rossini sauce - highly recommend!

I don't usually write reviews but this place made my day today. What a lovely place! My first time in Barry, I thought I'd pop in and get a frozen yoghurt for my best boy as I could see the freezer from the doorway as we were passing. There was water out the front for dogs, so my boy had a quick drink and it looked fairly quiet inside so we decided to go in for an early lunch. The service was excellent, where we sat was very clean, calm, comfortable - just really, really lovely. We loved the dog wallpaper, plates, menus, etc. Plenty to choose from, we ordered a couple of tuna-mayo toasties, a milkshake and cappuccino along with a sausage and frozen yoghurt for the dog. Well, he was treated like royalty with his own water brought over and his sausage cut up in a little bowl, and he loved all the fuss from everyone. He had a great time! Will definitely return the next time I take a trip to Barrybados and happily recommend to anyone (with or without a dog). The food and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced but the service really was superb. (Thank you for making us so welcome!)

I really like the coffee here , but the problem is it doesn't open often enough , quite often if I go there it's closed up. So please check first if you intend to go.

Waited over 2 hours for the arrival of our meal. When it arrived, I was very disappointed, tough chicken, flavourless, mint sauce and condiments were poor quality, popadums were all broken. Will never order again, I will never recommend. Do not order if you are looking for authentic Indian cuisine.

This was our first visit to this takeaway since we moved back to Barry, the food was excellent, the service was great, will certainly use it again.

Recently my husband and I met friends who booked a table at The Lighthouse for Sunday lunch. The restaurant is a part of Barry Yacht Club and is located near to Jackson Bay (wonderful quiet beach). We arrived 45 minutes early, so we sat outside in the beer garden and enjoyed some quality time together admiring the seaview. Our table was ready at the allocated time and we moved inside. The restaurant was immaculate with tasteful decor. There was a great family friendly atmosphere and the restaurant was very busy. Our orders were taken by a friendly, professional member of staff. For the mains myself and my husband both ordered the lamb, my friend selected the vegetarian wellington and her husband had beef. The food was nicely presented and was served with a tremendous variety of vegetables including baby carrots, broccoli, mashed vegetables, peas, green beans and leek. The roast potatoes were absolutely delicious and I was cheeky enough to ask for an extra one. The Yorkshire pudding was perfect and the meal was nicely finished with a fantastic homemade gravy. The quality of the meat really stood out, it was beautifully cooked, nicely flavoured, perfectly carved and tasted fantastic. Once we finished the main course washed down with a bottle of wine we browsed the dessert menu. Ample time was left in between courses and I ordered the cheesecake, my husband had ice-cream and our friends both had chocolate fudge cake. The desserts were the perfect size and tasted exquisite. Throughout our meal we received excellent customer service and our meals were very good value for money. We really can't wait to visit again especially as there was a fantastic menu covering all.meals including breakfast, lunch and evening meals. There were also a childrens menu available.

Great coffee and cake, looking forward to returning for fish!

Very disappointed looking forward to trying out a new Chinese ordered beef curry and chips had it come all in the same plastic container very small meal and not very tasty won't be coming back

Went for an early dinner, lovely food and staff would highly recommend and they were able to help with gluten free options - it was great!

Great cafe for a spot of lunch or a quick coffee and cake. X

Been twice. Both times not open despite Google maps saying it is. For it being so out the way this is important for traveling to be worthwhile. Happy to update my score with this being fixed and us actually getting to try the food!

Came here for food as we’d been drinking all day. Staff were awesome. Really friendly. Food was fresh and served swiftly. Can highly recommend the pulled pork burger 👌🏻

This was our 5th visit, every time we go it’s such great food and service I wanted to leave a review. An independent family owned restaurant that blends fine dining with a lovely friendly atmosphere. Fresh fish specials every day that never disappoint I cannot recommend it enough.

Their card machine made four attempts to take payments and failed and they were unable to print out a Void receipt. My order for £21.20 was entered on one occasion as £84. The staff were quite surly about me insisting on written and signed confirmation that these transactions had all failed. I paid by cash in the end. The fish was OK but the chips are rubbish. Lots of black bits, not cooked properly and tasteless. By the time they had sorted out the payment issue, they had gone cold £10.50 for this, or few yards away a coffee and a freshly cooked Panini for £6.50. Its is no brainer.
