The best restaurants serving French food in South Wales

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.

The absolute tip-top of cheese experience! We ate out a lot in our week in Abergavenny but the lunch we had here was gorgeous. Hot, mixed cheese baguette with chilli jam. If it wouldn't kill me I would eat it every day. Lovely people running it too. ( Next to wool shop also a bonus)

A nice little find, good service and very knowledgeable about the area. Great coffee and some very nice crepes to boot. Shout out to Lois who was very helpful when I visited

Very nice dessert. They were closing so couldn't enjoy a waffle but ice creams were nice. Thanks ...

This is truly delicious, inventive, homemade, inexpensive food. I'm usually fairly underwhelmed by chicken, but this pop-up inside Ty Cwru is excellent. Makes me homesick for the US, but even better than most of the chicken you'd find there. Poutine was like a lovely chicken dinner in a bowl, but with a delicious Canadian twist. Our visiting friends loved it. Lots of different flavours to suit every palate. Go support this excellent local gem and have a beer at Ty Cwru while your at it!

Absolutely loved our meal with friends last night. First time visiting & 100% recommend. Quality freshly made food. The pork belly was just melt in the mouth unreal and the mash potato something else!

The man serving the fondue on 6th November was very rude and stuck up. The fondue night is overrated and the service was slow.

My friend had cockles served with too much black pepper. She couldn't eat them. I tasted - they were very 'hot'. I gently told the owner, and she immediately snapped back - "no, they are not peppery, not served with pepper." No apology, just a very rude scowl. She walked off. Couldn't believe it. So unnecessary. 2 of our group couldn't attend, so in a friendly manner, I asked if we could have their deposit back. The scowl and rudeness continued. I've never experienced such an attitude. The deposit was finally handed over, and with a sour face, the owner looked at me and said, "Make sure they get it". The owner really didn't want her customers to return. We won't. I suggest a course on customer relations

La comida era absolutamente fantástico los 6 de nosotros estuvimos de acuerdo. El servicio fue fantástico, el personal muy encantador. No puedo elogiarlo lo suficiente

Great food! We both loved the lamb scallops and ravioli! The service was class, good price and great drawings!! Thanks again! Hidden gem this place!

General Cardiff bay Manager Nickolas (Nick) Gale told me I don't care about anything I just care about making money from Cote restaurant...worst manager ever.. copy of my complaint I got throat cancer and I am having chemotherapy. We decide to go have nice family meal together. My family 4 person went Cote restaurant in Cardiff Bay. Absolute awful customer service. Went at around 9:15 (1 November) with a view of many empty tables asking if we could eat there. We were told no, and when asked why the staff said we don’t have enough people working so come back in half an hour. We asked if we could sit for a drink for half an hour then eat and they declined this offer. We came back at 9:45, were blanked for 15 mins until exactly 10 when someone said the kitchen was closed. They refused to serve us. I know you are busy but customer service should be better. We walked away from the restaurant because of the poor customer service attitude. No wonder there was hardly anyone in there at a peak time of the day. I was even more disgusted at the dismissive response from the branch staff. Why would you return when attitude to the customer is so poor. Kind regards Emma

We booked in advance for a late Sunday lunch, we arrived at 2pm but had to spend 10 minutes in the car park waiting for someone to leave as there are not enough spaces for the number of guests they can accommodate apparently. Got in and sat down at 2:15. It was very busy, but from what we could see most people were either already eating or had eaten and were waiting for their tables to be cleared. The waitress came quickly to get a drinks order however the food order wasn't taken for another 15 minutes and the food itself didn't arrive for another hour. When it did arrive the food was very good, however I was disappointed to only have two very small slices of beef. I heard someone on the table next to me complain about the portion size too. It didn't get them anywhere so I didn't bother to mention it. We decided to have desserts which again were very nice, and thankfully didn't take quite as long as the mains did! So all in all, although the food was nice, service was very slow. We booked later thinking we would be served and back home quicker, however by the time we left we'd been there over 3 hours, so this isn't the place for a quick bite to eat!

Fuimos allí hace un par de semanas un sábado por la noche y tuvimos una comida deliciosa. El cassoulet era un favorito y entregado una vez más

We had Sunday lunch and the food was delicious, best Sunday roast we had for a long time. Dessert you have to try the Cherry Cheesecake, just so nice. Big complement to the Chef. Also the staff and services excellent. We will come again ☺️

Brilliant food, with a wonderful atmosphere. Definitely recommend checking this place out 👌🏻
