The best restaurants in Cardiff South Wales

Absolutely outstanding, from the moment we arrived to us saying goodbye. We hadn't booked. However, they managed to fit both of us in for dinner, which was superb. This restaurant is one of two places I have eaten where I can honestly say the quality of the food is excellent along with the service. We were looked after by a wonderful young man called Tom, whose attention to detail was second to none. Going with his recommendation of the lamb and chicken as mains, limoncello cheescake, and a rhubarb desert finishing off with Irish coffees was definitely a hit with us both. His manner was exemplary throughout where we needed for nothing. This was also noticeable with other tables as he went the extra mile for all he served, something which really impressed us. The decor, ambience, and experience would suggest that this restaurant is in line for a Michelin Star, something I would definitely recommend. It was a wonderful evening that we look forward to experiencing in the non too distant future. When in Cardiff, give it a try, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

A highly recommended restaurant. We received friendly service and were able to enjoy the delicious food in a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. The Buddha Salad tasted fantastic and featured a wide variety of fresh ingredients. The portion size is particularly commendable. In my opinion, it is rare to find such a good, nutritious and filling vegan salad in most restaurants. The arancini balls as an appetizer didn’t disappoint either. Luna's Vegan Corner is definitely a great addition to the vegan scene!

No matter how many gentrified cafes that open close by, this place stays a genuine and strong locals favorite. Queues most lunchtimes show how good it is. Work vans and students a plenty. The sort of place a “tik-tok” food reviewer would lose their mind over. Had the hot roast baguette on Tiger bread roll. Sourdough and normal baguette also available.

Ordered a tuna and cheese panini which was inedible because they stuffed it so much with tuna mayo, it was so messy I couldn’t eat with hands. The cheese wasn’t melted and it was cold. When I asked nicely for a refund they made feel uncomfortable for asking so I ended up leaving the slop on the table and left. Will not recommend or eat here again.

We booked here after seeing the excellent reviews on Google and were not disappointed. The food and service was amazing particularly the Moroccan food! Moroccan tea was served to us on the house as we chose our meals and was also delicious! Don’t be put off from the decor as this is a special little gem and we will definitely be returning!

Absolutely stunning food called in for a sit down meal whilst visiting my daughter, burrito’s were gorgeous hubby had half chicken on skillet, great food and service lovely little gem reasonably priced too 5*****

La Cucina De MARA delivers an authentic Italian experience with high-quality ingredients and a warm atmosphere. The open kitchen adds to the charm, letting you watch as pizzas are prepared in a beautiful pizza oven. Customer service is excellent—friendly and attentive staff make you feel welcome. The goat cheese salad is a standout, fresh and well-balanced, while the pizzas stay true to Italian tradition with great flavors and textures. If you’re looking for proper Italian pizza with great service, this place is a must-visit!

10/10 service followed by stellar pizza and parmesan fries!! Thank you Isaac! You made our evening! See you soon!

Spot on salt and chilli chicken 🔥

Always great food and service! Cocktails were great too!

Thought I'd check this Turkish restaurant out as I always walk past it. Really nice place and a nice take on a full English. Reasonable prices and friendly staff too.

Organizamos un baby shower en el Quill and Quote y no podría haber estado más contento con la experiencia. Paula y el equipo fueron más allá para asegurar que el día fue perfecto. La comida era encantadora, con una selección de sándwiches de dedos, pasteles y bollos. La presentación y la configuración también fue encantador. Los cócteles también nos encantó y bien presentado! Nos quedamos particularmente impresionados con Paul y el equipo. El servicio fue impecable, con personal atento que siempre estuvo a mano para ayudar y ofrecer asistencia. Fueron más que serviciales y el profesionalismo y la alegría de Paula hicieron que el día fuera aún más memorable. Recomendamos encarecidamente el Quill and Quote para cualquier ocasión especial. Gracias, Paula y el equipo, por una tarde realmente maravillosa.

Fabulous food and excellent service. It was very busy the evening we went (Wednesday), the staff were attentive without being intrusive. Very reasonable prices for both food and drink. We highly recommend Scaramantica Cardiff.

Cute fast food place, food quality and service alright
