The best restaurants in Wales

Not the warmest of welcomes as we hadn’t booked. When we visited last year we hadn’t needed to book, so just turned up. Only had cake and coffee. Coffee was weak and the ginger cake was dry and tasted a bit stale. Very disappointing and won’t be returning sadly. Also can we apologise for being an inconvenience to you for not being aware that we needed book.

Milkshakes are amazing, can't think of a better place to go

This is quite a difficult review to write because we’ve had many excellent takeaways from Saffron. Ultimately a recent, fourth, utterly terrible meal has proved to be the motivator for me to write this review. The onion bhajis were so dry, I would go so far as to say that they’d been made the day before and then ‘warmed up a bit’. They were pretty much inedible. Just hard lumps that, after much effort - and a sore jaw from the effort - eventually became horribly chewy. The mains of vegetable Dhansak and mushroom Bhaji were so terribly bland. Almost no flavour, other than a hint of pepper in the background and a weird, oily aftertaste which left us all feeling a little nauseous. As I say above, this is the fourth time we’ve had absolutely terrible food from Saffron, and such rancid concoctions probably account for 30% of the food we’ve had from them. As I’m sure you’ll appreciate, even when the food has been good, the ‘Russian Roulette’ of opening your food containers and not knowing whether it’s going to be (a) a winner or (b) a bin-er (it’s never somewhere in between) is really not worth the hassle. So, we won’t be using Saffron anymore. Time to take our chances with the various other Indian takeaways in the area and leave their unpredictable (and expensive) food to others.

The Welsh really are the best hands down, this pub is how to do a pub best proper staff proper service proper drinks and proper people...

We booked lunch for my husband's birthday. From beginning to end our visit was really lovely. The interior has been stunningly redesigned since we were last here and is gorgeous. Particularly the bar, and the breathtaking 'ladies'! The cocktails and lunch were absolutely superb; there surely must be a Michelin star on the way. The atmosphere was so relaxing and unhurried, our long lunch felt more like a holiday. All the staff were lovely, but I must mention Kosta (I hope I've spelled that correctly) who was outstanding in his professional attentiveness, friendliness and enthusiasm - a real ambassador for the hotel.

There was a lovely atmosphere in the bar. The waiting staff where bubbly and helpful. The menu was big change from the last time we visited, unfortunately the food didn't wow us, it was pleasant, everything thing was hot and served promptly but it did taste amazing, sorry we won't be rushing back.

Best chippy in Ystrad Mynach always consistent never had a bad take away from there reasonably priced too.

We had a brilliant afternoon tea for 7, the food was excellent as were the service and cakes especially. Nothing too much trouble.

Great place to get your favourite Chinese treats excellent service with a smile and reasonable prices all around great takeout 🙏🏻

Absolutely beautiful breakfast, I had French toast, warm berries, cream and maple syrup. Friends all had different breakfasts Eggs Benedict, full cooked and beans on toast and we were very happy with our food! Very friendly staff relaxed atmosphere and very clean would definitely recommend it you won’t be disappointed.

Went for Sunday lunch, OMG food was cold, roast potatoes were so hard we couldn’t cut them, my Beef had lots of fat going through it, and I cut in to my Turkey and there was a red vine growing through it , the only vegetable was ok was the Swede , we should have gone up to complain, would not recommend to anyone 😠

Gran café, buena comida, sin embargo, no hay jabón en el inodoro y no se repone incluso después de que había sido señalado. Chef estaba alisando un perro muy sucio alrededor de la cabeza y la boca mientras caminaba por la cafetería y de vuelta a la cocina sin lavarse las manos!

This was a very quirky delightful hotel. The landlord and his grandson couldn’t have been more helpful and pleasant. Would certainly recommend

Lovely experience would thoroughly recommend this cafe
