The best restaurants in South Wales

We have eaten here before, so I chose Callatis again for my birthday. Magdalena is an excellent hostess and her husband is a fabulous chef. Our 3 course meal was stunning and we eventually managed to waddle out with our full bellies!!!

I don’t eat out in restaurants or cafes, however this cafe was a exception on approach to the premises it was clean, inside it smelt clean and inviting. The food was outstanding the staff were polite and friendly and professional. Definitely going again with the rest of my family. Breakfast the best 10 out 10.

What a lovely find. Excellent food, real engagement with the owner. Took his advice on ordering and really enjoyed the result.

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience: the welcome, the dining room, the polite, friendly and helpful waiters, the three course lunch which was delightfully presented. Everyone involved helped create a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. The "front of house" was excellent, he must be so proud of his students.

This place is just amazing. Lovely place, great food, great coffee, cakes to die for. This is how to do it! Arbennig dros ben, byddwn yma eto cyn bo hir. Pob llwyddiant i chi gyd.

Lovely cooked breakfast, pesto panini, toast and iced caramel latte 😋 Attentive and friendly staff 🙂

Best pizza,kebab,speciality burgers ect in monmouth, best flavours biggest portions, clean, hygienic. Lived here all my life tried them all

Probably the most hygienic cafe I’ve ever visited!. Very white, very fresh and VERY clean. The warm husband-and-wife couple who run this petite venue are very friendly and like to get to know their regular customers. Most customers seem to be buying well-packaged, quality fresh food to take away, although there are a few chairs and tables if one decides to sit in (the sandwich chiller is a tad noisy but not so much of a racket that one has to leave - or where earplugs!). Although this is an easy-to-miss venue, nestling in a area full of apartments and offices, it does seem to be popular among local office workers etc (Mizzi opens at 7 am). And, well, what a surprise! Mizzi has an excellent hygiene rating from the councils health FSA inspector.

Visited today, first thought was it was spacious, clean and tidy with well presented staff. Drinks are expensive £6 odd for a pint of peroni, nearly £4 Pint of coke. Starter garlic mushrooms small bowl, salty and watery not creamy with over toasted bread. Lasagne again too watery with base made using tomato soup, not proper ragu certainly tasted like soup base! Garlic pizza bread was nice and chips real cut but over cooked. Unfortunately would not pay that price again for substandard Italian food.

Best Sunday Lunch around. My number 1 requirement always met. THEY SERVE THE FOOD HOT. A tad snug inside these premises but nice real ales and a good variety of top notch food. Booking is advised.

Wow popped in after going to resolved market. Will happily return for an evening meal. We had the breakfasts, portions were huge and service was quick.

We went for a meal with friends who had eaten here several times previously and rated it highly. The menu is quite small and no vegetarian options shown, although when asked there were two options available, veggie curry and cauliflower steak unfortunately neither of which appealed to me personally. I opted for the potato skins starter as a mains instead which was quite tasty but nothing I could wholeheartedly recommend. My meat eating companions chose off the chalkboard menu but were all left feeling slightly underwhelmed, cassoulet, gammon and chicken, none of which they raved about, in fact they were disappointed too as it wasn’t up to previous standards. The concept behind the pub was apparently to recapture the original Victorian feel but it just looked as if it badly needed updating. Staff were very helpful and friendly but without great food I couldn’t rate it any higher.

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 perfect little place. Wonderful and warm hospitality. Truly delicious and authentic food. We very much hope to be back.

This place was recommended to us so we called in and have to say got to be the the best breakfast we've had 5 star and deserves every one gonna be our regular breakfast
