20/07/2019: We visited here for lunch and were lucky to get a table as there was a no show. First time we tried here, but we will certainly be returning. Service was very good although we did have to wait an hour for our mains, but it was well worth it as the food was very tasty and well presented. To be fair they were extremely busy as it was graduation day in Cardiff.

16/07/2019: This is my favourite Cardiff restaurant. We have been a few times now, the food is so tasty and the ambience and service is superb. You have to book in advance as it’s a small restaurant (which is part of the appeal) but would recommend 100%.

20/07/2019: Busy with graduation folk lunch in arcade service delightful young man and woman a glass merlot Lamb “stew” Welsh style ample lamb tender tasty with veggies in broth 4 different breads very nice surprisingly filling Service 9.5 Food 9 wine 8 ambience 7

17/07/2019: Having lived in Cardiff for the past 8 years, I have never experienced such a great place. The food is spectacular, very well portioned for such a cheap price; in comparison to main stream restaurants and more popular / well known cafes. Madame fromage couldn’t get much better! The staff are so polite, professional and attentive. Again, so chuffed.

20/07/2019: Was quite disappointed with our pasta choices, small portions and not as flavourful as we’d hoped. The table next to us however had ordered pizzas and they looked good so that may be the way to go!

20/07/2019: This is a small, friendly, independent restaurant. The staff are very welcoming and the atmosphere is very relaxed. The pizza was delicious. It felt like an authentic Italian restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the wine is good. We had a fantastic evening here.

18/07/2019: Meal was average. Atmosphere and surroundings warm and welcoming. Expected something a bit more special for the money

14/07/2019: Booked a table for Sunday lunch.Car park is two minutes walk away. The decor is fresh and modern and there are etchings of poetry written by inmates about which are really moving.The menu offers a choice of two courses for £19.95 and an extra course for £5.95,there is a vegetarian and fish option.

14/07/2019: The service here was good, atmosphere lovely and plenty of choice of food at a reasonable price. We were not rushed at all, but also when we needed attention it was available.

30/06/2019: Had family meal. The food was amazing. We had Sunday roast which was absolutely first class. Starters were excellent. Staff and service was so so good. Will definitely visit again. Thankyou.

13/07/2019: Have visited Saray many times and have always had a consistently good experience. You receive a warm greeting when entering. The restaurant is popular and at times can be quite full- testament to the high quality of service and food on offer. After ordering your food, you are given complimentary starters and bread. I also ordered a Lahmacun for starters- a flat bread Turkish ‘pizza’ which comes with some salad and lemon- which was very tasty. For the main, I ordered a mix shish with rice and chips. The food was perfectly cooked- the meat was incredibly moist and tender and full of flavour. Portion sizes are large. Upon finishing the meal, the staff brought over complimentary Turkish tea and freshly-made baklava. Looking forward to my next visit already!

07/07/2019: Fabulous restaurant from the moment you walked in till you left everything was perfect friendly staff nothing was to much trouble service with a smile

22/07/2019: You would be advised to book a table at this lovely tapas restaurant as it was very busy on the night we went. Service was excellent with the waitress patiently explaining the options. There was plenty of choice for vegetarians and vegans and a decent, well priced, wine list. The tapas were tasty and of a reasonable size. We felt it was good value for money.

22/07/2019: Husband and I enjoyed a Sunday roast with a Spanish twist and it was delicious. The food was flavoursome and presented beautifully. We decided on the roast beef and we have no regrets. The staff were extremely friendly and the restaurant had a great atmosphere. Would definetly recommend this place if your looking for somewhere that serves great food.

16/07/2019: Visited Casanova for a post graduation meal with my family and was really impressed! Great food and really attentive service. Will definitely be coming back soon, highly recommend!!!

10/07/2019: Visited here for the first time yesterday and what a wonderful experience from the minute we arrived. We were made to feel so welcome and the attention we received from Selim was incredible. Our food from starters right through to our coffees was exceptional. Each plate was delicious. Huge thank you to Angelo for everything and made our sons day more special. Most definitely will be returning.

20/07/2019: We were on our way to my son’s graduation and needed a good, hearty breakfast. We (wife, son and daughter) found Elmer’s on the internet and decided it was just what we were looking for. As we were all dolled up in our best suits/dresses (depending on the wearer!) we were probably slightly overdressed and did get some interested looks as we walked in. We found the outdoor eating area at the back which was ideal as it was nicely shaded by trees and it was a baking hot day.

18/07/2019: Mr. Elmer is een super gastheer. Hij heeft ons zelfs uitgezwaaid. Het eten was heerlijk. Vooral de sfeer is mooi. Met de voeten op de grond.

24/06/2019: We had a Groupon voucher to redeem and had a selection of both hot and cold meze and had Patagonian wine. The selection form the main menu was vast.

17/06/2019: i came here for a nice night out with my partner as we'd heard good things. it started off ok. the starter was lovely. however, halfway through the meal, a member of staff which i can only assume to be management came in and started causing conflict with the other members of staff. its hard to enjoy your meal when your hearing waitresses get shouted at. he came over and rushed us to finish when we were still finishing eating and basically took our plates out of our hands. this made us both very uncomfortable as we were celebrating a special occasion. usually we stick around for dessert and drinks but by the time we'd finished our mains (all the while getting constant glares and being checked up on) we couldn't wait to leave and drive home. i don't usually write reviews but i felt compelled to. hopefully we can stop someone else making the same mistake we did. would not reccomend.

18/07/2019: The best Indian meal we have had outside of India- beautiful flavours, great service, nice atmosphere. If you are in the area you must try this place it’s incredible!!

13/07/2019: We ate here prior to attending an event at the Principality Stadium and I was surprised that it was empty...Did others know something that we didn't?!

12/07/2019: We visited the Madeira yesterday, very busy for a Thursday lunchtime but we were seated and served quickly. The food is always excellent but my monkfish and my Portuguese tart were particularly good. It's really nice to see an independent, traditional restaurant doing so well in Cardiff.

04/07/2019: Excellence comida. O Staff muito atencioso. Ambiente selecionado muito agradável. Espero voltar em breve

10/07/2019: If you want superb food and excellent friendly service you will not be disappointed at this French/Welsh cafe. We would love to keep this haven a secret for our personal use so we feel very generous by sharing this treasure trove. You MUST try the Sunday lunch!... to die for! See you there!

03/07/2019: Tucked away in the suburb of Roath in the wonderful capital city of Wales, Cardiff. This is a tiny cafe with a very warm welcome from friendly staff. Food is excellent and generous portions which are promptly served. Nothing is too much trouble. Good menu and there is no rush. Unfortunately a lot of people are getting to know about it! Good for a tête à tête with a close friend and then a stroll around the lovely Roath Park. It’s what Sunday’s are all about!

21/07/2019: Our family (ages 7 - 57) are well travelled in their search for the best Sunday lunch - and our standards are high The Gwaelod tops the charts. Pleasant and helpful staff, a very varied menu with some unusual and well thought out dishes and a reasonable price. The children’s menu goes well beyond the usual chicken nuggets and chips. The prices are slightly above your run of the mill Sunday lunch, but no where near what we would have anticipated paying for such an excellent lunch. Top notch food, locally sourced and delicious

20/07/2019: Repeat visit here with an old friend of mine who likes his ales! Great selection on tap and excellent hospitality and friendliness from the girl behind the bar in offering him a chance to sample the selection. Just about made it for food and the pie and chips was just what was needed. It was tasty, hearty, no frills and certainly satisfied two hungry chaps.

18/07/2019: Hemos estado en esta tienda de café antes y fue muy agradable.

03/06/2019: Beautiful Portuguese custard tarts - truly the best ever - complete with tea £5 for two of us. Perfect baking and a decent cup of tea - what's not to like??
