Do try La Boheme in Wesley Lane (off Charles Street). I should be interested to hear your informed comment on the place since I always enjoy visiting there and every (yes, EVERY) visitor I have introduced has enjoyed the experience and loved the food.

Every good wish. An excellent and very refreshing website.

How about Four Seasons in Corporation Road? As far as I know it's the only Korean restaurant in Cardiff, I've been quite a few times, it's nice. Nice Yemenite cafe on Corporation Rd and I'll be trying Mezza Luna tonight. How can one contribute reviews or suggestions? Ta.

Mezzaluna in 159 City Road, Cardiff it’s a Lebanese restaurant, in a magnificent 16th-century Deco never seen so much attention for details like this restaurant.
The food must be the best Arabic food in the UK; the extensive menu seems overwhelming, order Mezza Comb, a mixed platter with everything from hummus and kebbeh to spit-cooked lamb shwarmas.
I would like to go back to see the belly dancer this weekend Love, Love….love it

We had an absolutely fantastic meal at Woods Brasserie in the Bay this Saturday, excellent food and unpretentious, unobtrusive service (I don't work for them I promise!) . I think you'll like it there!

May I suggest that you carry out a review of Spice Route in the Red Dragon Centre. I found it unbelievable as did other members of the party I attended there.

Try Coriander on Albany Road. It's little like a cafe serving Indian food. They currently offer a £5.99 sit down meal - this includes a starter, main, rice and nan bread or side dish. I must admit to being a bit sceptical about the quality of the grub on offer when I first arrived. But when the food was served I was pleasantly surprised.

Also, what about the Juno on Wellfield Road. The food's pretty basic - and occasionally a little cool by the time it arrives - but it's very tasty and the atmosphere is incredibly relaxing.

River View is a new Chinese Restaurant in Cowbridge (Penny Lane). I have already been there twice and it is my favourite Chinese around. It would be interesting to know what you think.

One establishment stands out as not being on your list.
You really need to go to The Thai House (http://www.thaihouse.biz).
I've visited many Oriental restaurants over the years, and The Thai house is just head and shoulders above.
I can't believe this gem was sitting on my doorstep for so long, without me knowing about it.

We ate at the 'Canteen on Clifton Street' (canteenoncliftonstreet.com) last night and had a wonderful meal. I'm loathe to tell anyone about this place in case it becomes too popular and getting a table may be impossible, however, it would be a travesty to keep this good cooking and egalitarian (vegan, vegetarian and omnivore) restaurant under wraps. The evening menu is small (three starters, three mains, three desserts) and changes every two weeks or so. The deal is two courses for £10.00 or three courses for £13.50. What a deal!! Each menu includes one main meat choice, and vegan versions are either already on the menu or available upon request. It's great to be able to go out with meat eating friends and find a menu which gives everyone choice. The food is full of variety (not just your typical and supremely boring vegetarian lasagne) with flavours from all over the world. Last night I had a delicious paneer, pea and endamame balti beautifully spiced served with a corriander roti, followed by a mushroom loaf with a tomato/chipotle sauce (delicious) and my dining companion had the wild garlic soup, followed by braised beef and guinness pie; both mains were served with hearty portions of braised red cabbage (slightly too vinegary for my companion) and champ (or colcannon since it was mash with cabbage or kale?). All yummy and good sized portions. The restaurant was busy, with a variety of patrons from older retired people, professional looking couples, families and student types, and there was genial buzz about the place. It's not veggie trippy at all and we really liked this about the place. It calls itself a canteen and the decor is not fancy, but the food is definitely the best Cardiff has to offer for vegetarians and I'd say there is some mighty fine dining available here!

Hi Chief,

We are seriously digging your site, can you do Bali next?

BTW we are friends of Rob's and met you at his place once for a Sunday curry session!

Had the buffet in the Oriental Garden in the Red Dragon Centre, Cardiff Bay - £12.99 for all you can eat. The best Chinese buffet I have ever had. Because the staff were replenishing the dished continually, everything was hot, tasty and fresh. A huge range including prawns in CRISPY pastry, duck with pancakes,fresh vegetables, soups, desserts etc etc - really fab!

It would be really great if you could review Prezzo's on St Mary's Street, just so the whole world knows how atrocious their service is! Also, Cafe Aroma on Crwys Road, and Punitha's on Albany Road - it would be great to know what you thought of them.

Cafe Naz........shockingly bad.
We gave up ater the starters. Bhel Puri & onion bahjee had so little flavour.......thank heavens they came with a sauce.

Mint and Mustard Indian restuarant on Crwys Road is well worth a visit. Food is excellent and great service too. They also have an 'express lunch' deal with a variety of taster dishes from the menu served with rice/naan or roti and a glass of beer, wine or soft drink of your choice for £5.00 - a great way to check out the dishes on the menu in miinature. The chef/owner puts a new spin on old faves too; check out the biryani's which come baked with a naan crust and the delicious desserts including the chefs signature chocomosa.

Mimosa in Mermaid Quay serves the best burgers I have had anywhere. The restaurant is always packed - even midweek but the service is good and the atmosphere great. Put it on your list!!

There's a lovely little Turkish restaurant on Cowbridge Road East (opposite Tesco) whose name escapes me but always fresh food and excellent service. Check it out if you can.
Also, ever thought of doing an article on how bad the pubs are in Cardiff or is it just me and my friends who are constantly complaining about Brains and its stranglehold?
The lack of great pubs is scandalous, especially considering Cardiff is a capital city.

Hello to all who use this site, I have found it whilst doing research and think it is a great idea. ITV is making a second series of the popular TV series House Guest and we have chosen Cardiff as one of the six locations for the series. I am looking for couples who could be friends, relatives, partners or work colleagues and love attending and hosting dinner parties to take part in this fantastic and interesting series. I assume as all of you love to eat out you equally love to cook and try other peoples cooking. If you would be interested in taking part do get into contact.

Just discovered this site and you guys are doing a bang up job. You might want to swing by the Waterguard, it's the only place down the Bay you can get a decent pint of anything that isn't Brains and the food flits between reasonably good to outstanding (for pub food). I'd also like to request that you don't review Canteen on Clifton Street as it's wonderful and I don't want it getting too busy...

A lovely little site but can it be updated a bit more often? Months go by before there's any type of review.
Maybe a discussion forum where people can discuss or recommend places? And please, please, please would really like to know what others feel about Brains and it's swathe of rubbish pubs.

Thanks for the thoughts Peter. Sorry we're a bit out-of-date currently. Site is being developed beneath the bonnet for a relaunch with some new features. Do stick with us!
