The best restaurants in Rhondda Cynon Taf South Wales

Oh I miss this place so much! Can’t wait for this dreadful situation to improve and for HSS to reopen its doors. I’m longing for the Social Smash and a Mrs C’s coffee!

I’d heard of Colliery 19, but never got around to going there….until this evening, and we’re so glad we did. The food was wonderful and the staff so very attentive and totally customer focussed. It was lovely that some of the trainee chefs came to our table and asked for our opinion on the course they’d prepared. This just added to what was already a lovely experience. I think we’ll be going back, and soon.

What a great find, such incredible burgers and great value for money!

Visited again 4/8/24. Our Calamari and home made soup starters were really good. The carvery meat and all vegetables were cooked beautifully and plenty of choice. Although it was very busy the service was efficient with no wait and also no feeling of being rushed. The young man who looked after us was friendly and professional - as were all the staff there. Excellent value for money. If you've not been then try it. You won't be disappointed.

Best burger I've had in a long time, very tasty loaded fries and awesome mac n cheese. All topped off with friendly service

First visit to Little Pickers this morning, and won't be the last. Great service, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and food was really tasty. Opted for the granola bowl with fruit and greek Yogurt and honey. Right size portion and the fruits were tasty. Greek yogurt was thick and creamy - as it should be. Flat white coffee was hot and flavoursome, not bitter. This is a lovely little place for a quick bite or a bit longer if you want to just chill. Will be visiting again very soon! Bill came to under £20 for 2 of us. Well worth it.

Where else would you see a cafe surrounded by several flocks of sheep? 🐏🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 On a Welsh mountain side in the middle of the Brecon Beacons, that's where! What a unique and enjoyable experience; sipping hot freshly made coffee, munching a lovely bacon 'butty' with the breeze blowing through the valley. Plus, a 'captive' audience, each one of the woolly creatures in the audience hoping for a free sample from my bread roll. No luck there I'm afraid. Good quality burger, fresh bun and great service from the proprietor. Will definitely use again.

Just popped in having heard this venue was amazing. Such a friendly welcome, so homely and comfortable. The menu had lots to offer, jacket potatoes, sandwiches and cakes to die for. The selection was vegan and vegetarian suitable. I had tea, which was served with a tea strainer as it was real tea leaves, in quaint china tea pot with milk in cow shaped jug and lovely bone china tea cup and saucer. I also chose raspberry and chocolate cake, which was moist, flavourful and scrumptious. The rest of the area was like a gift shop/antique shop, a surprise around every corner. In the other part is a dog grooming parlour which is a bonus as the restaurant is dog friendly and has its own dog menu !

We had a coffee machine purchased and fitted with CORTILE, Richard came out to install. The process was so easy from start to finish. He was fantastic, full of knowledge and extremely helpful. I will definitely be sticking with cortile for all our coffee machine requirements. Thank you again Richard. The cafe team at fonmon castle

What a fabulous coffee shop in the middle of our local town. My husband and myself sat in the window, and talked about what a real gem it is. The atmosphere is good, the coffee is amazing and the staff are really attentive. Keep doing what you are doing. We love it.

Another fab meal ! Popped in for quick birthday meal - Peter pulled out all the stops to make the visit fun and enjoyable . Smoked salmon and avacado pizza a wowzer ! Lovely ambience, fab food - get yourself down there x

An amazing fine dining experience in this busy vibrant Community Hub in the heart of Aberdare. The supper club had 9 courses (well actually 14 different dishes) and is something new and different to the town. 5 star quality food and a lovely atmosphere throughout the night. Well done Cynon Linc!!

Awesome breakfast. Quality ingredients beautifully cooked. Friendly service and great value. Recommend by friends and happy to recommend too. Amber’s is a great breakfast

Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea here today! Greeted by friendly smiling student staff, the setting was lovely too! Also, a big shout out too for the college students who made the food for us to enjoy - it was delicious 😋 Will definitely visit again

Very friendly staff. We had food delivered which came bang on time. We had chicken tikka masala and pilau rice x 2. The food seemed a tad sweet for me but maybe its just me? Would definitely try again. Good value for money with a vast menu.
