The best restaurants in South Wales

This coffee shop owner refused to allow a small schoolchildrens' choir to stand in front of their outside seating area. This was for the unveiling of one of the Monumental Welsh Women's statue group - for Lady Rhondda. It was for just one hour on September 26th - where prominent women members of society, government, writers and poets were attending. They would all have wanted coffee and snacks after as the coffee shop the otherside was offering that to all. What a silly person and cafe owner - a missed marketing opportunity and he lost lots of customers. No doubt people from Newport won't go there because of his snub. Who cares about the quality of the coffee as it is just as nice if not better at Hortons cafe opposite.

Wow.. Absolutly the place to go. Delicious food and excellent service. Would recomend the celeriac soup and the beef short ribs . Very friendly and proffesional staff

Lovely friendly Cafe, great breakfst/coffee, excellent value for money will definitely return soon.

Excellent small cafe in an old post office, breakfast was very tasty, service and staff very good, prices very reasonable. Will definitely go there again.

We come almost every weekend, the food is delicious and reasonably priced too. Tastes just like the food you have when in Thailand.

Really good food and service here, definitely gonna come here again!

Never been here I just want google Maps points to level up.

Excellent quality foods and drinks here. Recommended.

We had the 6 course tasting menu. This wasn’t just an evening meal this was an experience: the food was excellent, there was theatre & art with the dishes, the staff were attentive but also distant when required & the ambiance in the restaurant was superb. Couldn’t recommend Gem 42 high enough, we’ll be back! My only disappointment is that because it is so good, bookings will become more difficult!!!!

Was looking forward to taking delivery of my first meal from the highly rated and publicised Parbin Service was good, delivery was excellent, food was blah! Not enough flavour although the keema Nan tasted good. Bhajees were tough and floury Much better around so won’t be in a hurry to use again

I’m often in student union and the smell of this shop fills the whole corridor of the ground floor (smells amazing). Very fast service, very nice owner and delicious food! I had the 12 inch wrap and skinny fries and it was delicious! it was my first time having falafel and it was very nice! Also very nice interior. It feels very cosy. Inshallah definitely coming again! Thanks.

Nice little art gallery in the Lochaber St. Reminds me of the Albany gallery in Albany Road.
