The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in The Vale of Glamorgan South East

Second Visit: Disappointing Compared to the First! My first visit to The Touring Club left a lasting impression—minimalistic Scandinavian design, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent food and drinks. Unfortunately, my second experience didn’t quite live up to the same standards. The sleek black exterior and Scandi-inspired interior remain highlights. The glass roof and open kitchen add charm, while the mix of bar seating, window stools, and cozy tables offers versatility. On this visit, I sat upstairs at the long communal table before moving downstairs as seats became available. However, space management remains an issue. By 2:15 PM, the venue felt cramped when a group of five arrived. The food aromas were present but not overwhelming, and the view of the chefs from the bar seating is still a nice touch. The Beef Sliders: Disappointingly dry, with average-quality meat. The kimchi and cheese added some flavor but lacked the moisture or richness a good sauce could have provided. The Crab and mango Salad: A lackluster dish with a small portion for the price. While the pesto was passable, the crab was underwhelming, and the accompanying vegetables didn’t elevate the dish. Gin Basil Smash cocktail : A letdown this time—less intensity and balance compared to my previous visit. The drink lacked the vibrant flavors I had enjoyed the first time. The team is warm but seemed somewhat overwhelmed - the wait for order was long and had to come down to ground level to prompt. Also be aware of a food service break between breakfast and lunch (12:30–1:00 PM) creates a gap where no food is served, which could be inconvenient for some diners.

Amazing food and service. Great value for money. Definitely worth a visit

There is a snobbery around the use of the title chef and what qualifies you to use the title. For me, there is only one measure that matters - the quality of the plate and the ability to repeat that quality. Enter Jordan, chef at the Roost, and for me one of the best chefs I have ever experienced. Today we had lunch at the Roost and the lamb was a work of art, the texture of the meat, the flavour, and the entirety of the plate sent my pleasure endorphins into over-drive. I cannot thank him enough for deciding to practice his art in our small hamlet on the South Wales coast. Thanks to Jo, Andrew and Tom for exceptional service and for always being engaging and welcoming. You have created not just a venue but an experience. This review is focused solely on lunch but I have written before on the pub and accommodation which remain excellent. I have broken from my traditional good, bad and the ugly reviews because the only word for this dining experience is exceptional PS Nice beard Jordan.

Second Saturday in a row, Staff are very friendly and can’t do enough for you. Menu has so much to choose from - every meal arrived perfectly

Stunning food. The chicken tikka baguette was so good!! You could taste the freshness of the food! My colleague had a jacket potato with creamy cheese and that was absolutely lovely too and very well presented.Highly recommend this place!!

Had a lovely afternoon tea with my daughter. It was my father's day present from last year. It's a pity it's closing because we certainly would go there again and recommend it to others.

Just a nice pub always have a good time with you friend.

Food is good and at a reasonable price, especially for a restaurant. The only reason that let's this restaurant down is the price for drinks. It is the same as ordering another meal. Very, expensive, which put me off eating here again.
