The best restaurants in Monmouthshire South Wales

It was my birthday and my son took me here and I never knew this place existed! And not far from our doorstep. I’ve been to many places in Cardiff but this has become my favourite. All the dishes were so fresh and the soft shell crab 🦀 was amazing. It’s a small restaurant but the food is highly recommended.

Fantastic tapas. Really enjoyed happy hour and our wonderful meal. Highly recommended.

It's an odd place you get a lot of motorcycles there but not a lot of bikers, very hipster ish which is ok ! But a little pricey on food and drinks, also a shop on site but that's expensive too...

This restaurant was recommended to us by our host whilst staying in nearby Newland in the Forest of Dean at Easter. We booked on-line (easy process). As we approached the restaurant we were delighted to see that Church Street was lit with festive lights (no it wasn't Xmas we visited at Easter!) which made for very pleasant start to the evening. The restaurant itself was also twinkling with decorative lights - again very pleasant. We were given a very warm welcome by the host and shown to our table. Menu's were produced and drinks order taken in short order. The regular menu is varied with specials on the blackboard - so good choice of meals. Our food was extremely well presented and was very tasty. My wife had fish and I had beef bourguignon - both were excellent The restaurant had a very relaxed atmosphere despite being busy. The host was attentive but helpful. Do book ahead - several people were turned away whilst we were there. Also please note that they closed the door to new diners at 8pm when we visited. A very enjoyable evening - we will definitely visit again when in the area.

Always a friendly welcome. Good coffee, good selection of food and homemade cakes . Easy to find in the centre of town. Thoroughly recommend

Fabulous beef with trimmings Baguette this morning Coffee as always freshly made 100 percent flavour All pastries and tarts hand made and delicious Thank you as always “Simply The Best “

Having read the reviews before we visited we had hoped for more. The panini was not good and the toasted sandwiches just that with no garnishes. Sadly, the biggest turn off was the lady cooking the food had her hair loose and not adhering to food safety requirements. Very offputting.

Been coming here a few years, I’ve always been welcomed and looked after. Best place in Abergavenny. Ive been looked after by them so much never believe everything you hear

What a lovely pub!! We had a table of 9 with dogs and they couldn’t have been more accommodating! Beautiful Sunday roast, a good selection of starters and traditional hot puddings. We had a selection of beef, pork, chicken and lamb and all meat was cooked beautifully and plenty of veg with a really tasty proper gravy!! Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon! The land lords were really lovely people xx

Absolutely lovely county homely pub . Leah and paul are so very welcoming and can’t do enough . There was an outside mobile food event the evening we went but there were no vegetarian options so Leah insisted she do a special dish for me . My vegi burger was the best I’ve ever had and the presentation and sides were fantastic . There was a band playing . Great atmosphere, great pub , well worth eating there . We will be back ❤️

In the absence of Strongbow on tap ordered a 500ml can of Natch Cider. Charged the ridiculous price of £4.25. For one can only!!!

A great choice to stay here while walking the first stages of Offa's Dyke. Arrived to enjoy a couple of pints of Wye Valley beer and a friendly welcome. Our room was very comfortable with nice little touches such as charger cables, etc. Evening meal was delicious and bettered by a wonderful breakfast cooked by Chris, the host. A great spread of fruit, cereal, full cooked breakfast, toast, coffee set us up for a long stage. Would heartily recommend the pub for a beer, meal, night or ideally all three.

My favourite pub. Chloe and Jim are terrific hosts, the food is amazing and they have Butty Bach Wye Valley beer. What more can you want from a village pub?!?

Good quality pizza and pasta's!

Beautiful Sunday lunch, food was delicious 😋 will be back soon
