The best restaurants in Swansea South Wales

Last Saturday night I held a retirement celebration at Gallinis for 46 family and friends - it was faultless from start to finish. I originally looked at 3 venues in Swansea Marina and Baz at Gallinis was by far the most helpful, the most accommodating, and in the end produced an amazing night for us. They stayed in touch with me in the weeks/month ahead of the event in order to agree the menu, agree the table settings and talk about entertainment etc - nothing was too much trouble for them. On the day of my event May 11th, they let us go to the restaurant in the afternoon around 3.00 pm in order to decorate as we had the entire ground floor booked out. My family and friends arrived at 7.00 pm and Kurt and his team were ready and waiting with the Prosecco we had ordered for arrival drinks. The waitresses worked really hard making sure all of my family and friends were topped up regularly and were kept happy. We then sat down for food. How on earth the kitchen managed to produce 46 two course meals, on time, piping hot, and to such an excellent standard is really beyond me. Everyone was impressed with the standard of food and service which was consistently high throughout the evening. The staff were always on hand for anything we needed, and the service at the bar was quick and efficient. The whole experience was faultless and exceeded my, very high, expectations. Add to this a stunning setting on Swansea Marina.......perfect. Thank You to to Baz, Kurt and all of the staff at Gallinis who worked so so hard for us - and especially the hardworking waitress who joined in our singing :-) If you are thinking of having an event here just do it, if you just want somewhere special for lunch or dinner - go here. Its fab.

Evie and Lois are the best dancers , so friendly and inviting to ladies to get up on the bar and encourage feminism Would deffo recommend for the ladies

This place is usually my go to Chinese place but today I am very disappointed as the chips were inedible I wouldn't even feed them to the strays never mind myself. Have a look of this picture and see for yourselves,I am very disappointed 😞especially after paying £3.10 for the chips which look like they were cooked last month. Obviously this isn't the only thing I ordered it came to nearly 32 pound but everything else is okay.

Last minute visit due to original restaurant booked being too busy for us! Super attentive staff, fabulous food, the chutney tray is deserving of a special mention. I went for the Lahore special balti which was delicious and the meat was so tender and flavoursome. You can also upgrade the plain naan accompaniment to another one like peshwari or keema. Would highly recommend, I'd suggest booking in advance as it can get busy.

Friendly staff great drinks as always.

The worse burger you can imagine . Tiny over-cooked fillet steak, and revolting fries. All in al. a dreadful meal which was a complete waste of hard earned.l

Attend this site early evening. Ordered a hot chocolate with cream and was given the vegan light whip. Then while in the middle of drinking my hot chocolate a Barista maestro came over and started touching my cup asking me if I’d finished. When I preceded to tell her I wasn’t she told me she needed to take the tray away to clean it. I stated I wasn’t finished and she move my cup and took the tray anyway. Honestly I think this is very rude.

My Wife and I enjoyed a very nicely cooked Beef Sunday lunch recently ....the cauliflower cheese was exemplary. Well worth a visit !

Had a Birthday meal with friends, our food was outstanding. Lovely selection of beers(I wasn’t driving). We all enjoyed great atmosphere, lovely helpful staff & reasonably priced. I had Salt n pepper calamari with garlic dip & Chicken Cynru (Chicken in a cheese, bacon & leek sauce), with garlic sautee potatoes £21. I CANT recommend this place enough honestly.

Surfside is our favorite hang out place. We go there most days for coffee and their delicious tea cake and egg buns. I always take friends when they visit from America!! The staff are beyond lovely and the owners are wonderful. Don’t miss this place!!

Wonderful experience here, when I first came in I had a warm welcome and the presentation of the food was amazing, would definitely come here again

Lovely restaurant, very professional staff. Many thanks. B

We have always had a great experience while eating at The Rev, food is always lovely especially their Sunday roastie, their service is brilliant as all their staff are so friendly & helpful Thank you guys

I know core cost has gone up but should that make customer service go down ?? £23 for fish , chicken and chips. Wouldn't mind if the chips were edible instead of tasting like they had been dipped back in half soaked cold fat.. Mind you the can if coke was nice 👌

Had a great beach walk followed by the Brest breakfast roll at Eddy’s. Great start to the day, clean cafe with great service.
