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 ...

Best food in Newport. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Wonderful hosts. UPDATE: recently visited their new venue and seem to be going from strength to strength. Food and hospitality great.

Great atmosphere and great wine selection, fondue itself was lovely but let down by the bread. We'll definitely be going again, but a baked French bread or something a little nicer than what appears to be chopped up Hovis would make this 5*

The food was banging, but the size of the portion was far too big for both me and my wife, but absolutely amazing

Beautiful food served by the friendly owner

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

The.restaurant is absolutely lovely in an oldy worldy pub with a large car park which includes disabled parking. On entering the establishment we were welcomed and shown to our table by an extremely likeable and attentive young man who looked after us throughout our visit and I would say he went above and beyond with his service. We were celebrating a visit of family from New Zealand and friends recommended this venue. Now to the meals, I’m afraid this is where our recommendations must end, the food was poor to say the least and the portions minute, in fact the food looked lost on a dinner plate.. the chips were absolutely awful, dried up, wrinkly and looked and tasted reheated from the day before, these were served in a silver cup, so on the plate was the smallest rump steak I’ve ever seen, it measured approximately 50mm x75mm and half a grilled tomato. I ordered my stake cooked medium it was. Served very well done and tough to chew. The only saving grace were the overpriced deserts which were lovely. I thought everything was overpriced not just the sweets. Would we go again? Definitely not once bitten twice shy I did tip the waiter as he was exceptional

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

Absolutely beautiful Sunday lunch, so tasty and fresh👌service amazing as always ,well done all Deco looks fantastic too🌲💕
