The best restaurants serving British food in Cathays Cardiff South Wales

Great value lunch menu good range of alcohol free drinks, great customer service will definitely book again soon

The food was up to standard and came out in a timely manner however a staff member named Deelia gave very poor service. Her attitude was enough to make a customer feel as though she didn’t want them there. Very abrupt and little to no patience.

Restaurant situé près du château de Cardiff dans une des rues animées. De délicieux plats à petits prix. Ce restaurant est à recommander. Le service est très professionnel et très sympathique.

First off the restaurant is now above Jackson's fish bar in the Castle Arcade - not the address (at time of writing) on this page! The place has just 5 tables is run by a team of two, who put heart, soul and passion into making a great and unique dinning experience. I was wowed by about 4 of the 6 courses (and the others were great as well). It is an experience restaurant - expect to be there for 3 hours - the restaurant isn't flash. The chef wants a relaxed "normal" environment. It's not posh. And I loved the whole experience all the more for it. A memorable night and some amazing food.

This restaurant is disorganised and the staff disinterested. We booked our table a month in advance as we were attending a concert in the venue next door (20 meters away), and were allotted an hour slot between 6-7. We arrived at the venue and were left to stand outside for over 5 mins before being shown to our table. We ordered (via a QR code) as quickly as we could due to needing to be out by 7.20 at the latest. We chased our food order three times (each time being told 5-10 mins), before having to give up, leave the restaurant, and go hungry to our concert. I was told that the hour + wait was due to being short staffed and because they had many walk-ins. Perhaps don't take in the walk-ins if you can't get food to your booked customers within the hour (or ideally 25 mins). No one gave us a food wait time at any point, or apologised that we had to leave empty bellied after waiting for over an hour - just a shrug of the shoulders. To add insult to empty-bellies, they told us that they personally would be perfectly happy to wait 1 hr for food, and that in fact they would be happy to wait 2 hrs!! Such rude children!

Attended private function (50+ guests). Really nice staff offering great service. Wine list was good and not too expensive. The three course banqueting menu was very very good (best beef for long time) as was the downstairs dining room we dined in. Waiting staff were friendly and professional. Would strongly recommend

Atmosphere is wonderful and very peaceful, food is passable. Staff are quiet and helpful. Ordering process is uniquely hands off. I had some nice banana pancakes for a late breakfast; however my review is necessarily poor because after my last visit ended I was violently ill when I got home for roughly 20 minutes, and then voided my bowels for another 10. As such I can’t recommend you eat here.

Service with a smile, and I would highly recommend to anyone passing through the city centre. Great quality food & very good prices... Looking forward to my next visit with so much to choose from.. Knowing its a family run business makes it that more satisfying paying for the goods!

Personal fantástico con comida encantadora. Muy bueno para pastel y café con una sensación relajada. Fue agradable sentarse y tomarse nuestro tiempo disfrutando del café

We went for some drinks on a Friday afternoon and wanted to see what we thought before booking a spa day. The bar qrea is impressive with the furniture comfortable. There is an extensive bar menu with a good range of cocktails and wines. On approaching the bar the person behind the bar looked directly at me, walked away and went out the back. This was incredibly off putting and disappointing - not what I’d expect from a hotel such as this. Another member of staff came and he was pleasant taking the drinks order bringing them over when ready. The cocktails were really good quality but for me the experience was spoilt from being ignored at the bar. This was 2pm and the place was empty and if that’s how they treat customers it isn’t for me. We left after one drink and went to another hotel that has better staff and atmosphere.

Me and my bf decided to eat here as we were staying in an Airbnb on the same street as this cafe. We were very impressed with the range of options they offered. We got the Avocado Sourdough Bread and some sides of a sausage, hash brown and black pudding (Please note not there is two avocado and egg bread pieces. Just one is pictured in the photo). We came back here the second day here for a bigger breakfast this time and got the Smoked Salmon Toast and the Chocolate Chip Pancake Stack. I was very impressed with food, and how friendly the staff were. Would definitely come again.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Fast service and overall friendly atmosphere. The food was lovely too. Would definitely go again!

Fantastic cawl... Fabulous chap that served us. Brilliant place. Amazing service , served up beautifully....Thanks guys xx

We have just enjoyed our first meal here. As lovely as it was, the cheese and crispy onions were left off one and the other was the complete wrong pie.....however, the lovely waitress only charged us for our drinks as a way to make it right. (Didn't catch her name) we really appreciated this and we will definitely be back!
