The best restaurants serving French food in Cathays Cardiff South Wales

Great steak in a wonderful sauce, fab frites and first class service today for my daughter and I.

Nice place with delicious food but I like the old one in Cardiff bay more due to the location. But it's worthwhile getting food in this restaurant.

The food is very overpriced for the portion size, simplicity of the dishes and the quality. I have been on two occasions since they opened last year, and the front of house service has been incredibly poor each time. Over 20 min after been seated before anyone acknowledged us or offered us a drink. Both times staff were were just casually laying up tables, chatting amongst themselves and demonstrated little attention or care to the customers. On my second visit with my son, when we came to order, I asked if they could do smaller portions for children, only then did they say we do indeed have a children's menu, seems it just wasn't offered to us. We asked if it was okay with the kitchen could our toddler be served first and we'll have our starters and mains after, that i'd be able to feed him then enjoy my foot still hot. They assured us that it won't be any trouble at all, but then served his food with our starters and before any of us had finished proceeded to serve the main with such urgency it was simply placed on the table and they walked off before we could say much about it. Then meaning we had plates engulfing the table and was wrestling a toddler to stop him putting his hands into this buffet in front of us all. the food wasn't particularly hot anyway so safe to say by the time I ate my salmon it was stone cold, and definitely not worth £20. Very salty. It's a great shame as this venue has the potential to be amazing, the the quality of service and time management from the staff is a huge let down not to mention the delusions of grandeur on the food and its prices. They also have the cheek to add service charge as standard, which many people were requesting to be removed! Receipt image is for 2 adults and 15 month yod.

Despite being unable to book in advance, the Sticky Fingers website states plenty of walk in tables are available. We did get a table but were unable to order the food we wanted as it was pre-order with a table booking only! No where on the Sticky Fingers website did it actually state this. The manager was very rude and he tried to pass the buck to the vendor which was a bit sad really! Poorly organised with staff who had no clue.

Fantastic meal and service! Will definitely return. I had the beef rib and truffle chips. Great spot.
