The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in Cardiff South Wales

Our first time in Mesen. The food was outstanding. The meat was cooked to perfection, the roasted carrots was seasoned beautifully, the cabbages medley was delicious. My husband had the pork chop and usually he is not a big meat eater. He polish it and really really loved it. I had the chicken lovely too. He had the chocolate ice cream and i had the fondant with olive oil and sea salt stunning. Our only complains were: our diner plate was a dessert plate. You could not put the vegs on it. For a meat restaurant there dont give steak knife!! Because of the way they cook the meat the fire alarm kept blazing off and the restaurant was quite drafty to evacuat the cooking smoke. Still a very nice lunch

Haven't been there for a long time, but as the name suggests 5 star food as always!

Some of the food are nice but the chicken shawarma was bad, it was bland no flavor at all

We had a fantastic table here for 13 on a Sunday lunchtime and had the most amazing meal. Despite being expensive, the staff are very nice and the atmosphere buzzing. The food is absolutely divine: the Steak melts in your mouth! The Sunday Roast is delicious too. We are regulars and here and this place never fails to disappoint! Thank you for putting up with such a noisy table!

Shockingly long wait for food. We were advised it would be an hour wait but two hours later the food arrived. We had to leave the desserts we paid for as the kids had to get to bed. Food was expensive pl, poor quality that had probably just been microwaved and definitely not worth the wait. Will definitely not be eating here again. Must be massively understaffed as it wasn’t even busy on the Sunday evening when we visited.

The reviews didn’t endear me to this place, but it had been a long day travelling and I wanted something easy and convenient. My only complaint was that it took an age to get seated as the hotel was jumping and the restaurant wasn’t staffed accordingly. However, once I was seated the service was efficient (which I needed) and friendly, and the food was pretty darn good. I got a rump steak which was so succulent and I rarely say that about rump. Basic menu but it is pub grub so set your expectations at this and you’ll be fine

brilliant food great tender food with geniuine taste, all aspects of the place make it worth your precious time and money spent

If I could rate les than a 1 I would. Extremely rude staff, horrendous delivery time and even worse food. These guys have not a clue on running a successful business, not a clue how to cook and have the worst customer service I have ever come across. On the phone I was told ‘check yourself into a mental hospital’ and ‘we have to ‘f***ing cook your food before we deliver’.
