Curado Bar
Cathays, Cardiff
09/05/2022: Great food good service reasonable prices. Enjoyed
03/05/2022: A lovely local in the heart of Cardiff with a surprisingly rich variety of Spanish classics of various regions. The Pulpo however was a tad chewy and potatoes weren’t cooked to the Galician perfection, this was however out balanced by the lovely, cheerful staff and cozy vibes.
Defo recommended when in Cardiff and keen on that laid back good wine fuelled tapa fix.

Tuktuk
Cathays, Cardiff
16/05/2022: Great food, great service. Extremely disappointed in the sushi rice which came as a solid brick in a plastic bag. Would recommend everything else except this rice option.
14/05/2022: Had a pleasant meal at Tuk tuk, food was OK although I ordered sticky rice which came in a very nice whicker pot but was a hard as a bar of soap, I had to try to hack pieces of it off, would definitely recommend jasmine or coconut rice instead. Also they are very slow to clear the tables after food, in fact our table wasn't cleared by the time we left and had paid the bill. Strange.

09/05/2022: On all my visits, I have always had a great coffee, the brownies are exceprional and the service is excellent.
05/05/2022: Bland, over-priced food. Coffee tasted powdery. Lady behind the counter was rude and abrupt. Great location however, opposite the National Museum.

Al Wali Restaurant

07/05/2022: Amazing food with great ambience taking you to Oman. The chicken and lamb were so soft and tender and the kabza rice was excellent. Owner was very nice person . Highly recommend this place to get a taste of fantastic Omani food
16/04/2022: Super duper delicious grilled whole seabass served with rice and salad. Excellent service, very kind waiter catered to my request for extra salad and less rice. Came with complimentary lentil soup.

Heaney’s
Riverside, Cardiff
13/05/2022: Tasting menu with paired wines was a wonderful experience. The service was excellent - very attentive and friendly. Thank you for a superb evening.
06/05/2022: 1. We ordered a £50 bottle of Godello which was brought to the table having already been opened. This is a basic and serious mistake - restaurants should ALWAYS open a bottle of wine, regardless of how much or how little it costs, at the table in front of the customer so that the customer knows it’s genuine and isn’t simply someone else’s bottle that has been refilled with cheap box wine. The wine was excellent and genuine, but the restaurant committed a serious mistake in not opening it in front of us.
2. We ordered beef but no steak knife was provided to cut the thick slice of meat and we struggled to cut it.
3. The cheese plate was extremely stingy - three tiny pieces and that’s all. It was good though.
4. Service overall was good. Attentive without being intrusive.
5. Lunch for two was £110. These are London prices and Heaneys just doesn’t make the grade.

Brod
Riverside, Cardiff
23/04/2022: Really friendly staff and great atmosphere! Would personally recommend the Danish parties the most (it is a Danish bakery after all). However slightly upset as I bought 4 items but was charged for 5. In all fairness I should have checked the receipt but I live quite far away and went there especially to visit their bakery so couldn't return to let them know :(
19/04/2022: Seen this on line a few times and while I was in cardiff I was passing so decided to go in and sample some of their cakes and bread, and they were fab, worth popping in if you are in the area

Barker Tea House
Cathays, Cardiff
07/05/2022: A decent pot of tea and good food.
Best bit was the dismissive attitude to anyone who expects a fancy made up name frothy coffee like what you would get from a well known tax dodging high street coffee shop
WE ARE A TEA SHOP!
(They do sell coffee though 😁)
04/05/2022: Always a delight, lovely atmosphere and surroundings and a must visit when ever I'm in Cardiff. Great choice of dairy free and gluten free. Had some lovely mint chocolate cake.
