Restaurants near South Wales Borderes Museum

What an experience, travelled over to Cardiff from Bristol just for this. First time for my wife and I and we were not disappointed. The food and atmosphere etc were amazing. The only thing that let it down was we seemed to be rushed. We savored our "small plates" meal and as soon as we finished them, our main courses were delivered even before our table had been cleared of our "small plates". I know this was a small thing, but it did detract a bit from our experience, hence not giving a full 5 star review across the board.

I had intended to book the restaurant next door: The Ivy Asia. But I accidentally booked this place. Fantastic! So glad I did. They do a very good Bang Bang Chicken starter at The Ivy motherhouse in London but the Bang Bang Chicken skewers I had here were even better. We dined at the counter and had the most excellent service, fantastic food, and splendid wines and cocktails. The music was a bit weird but, otherwise, great night.

The quality of the food here is simply outstanding. So is the service. Only issue preventing me giving 5 stars was that the heating wasn't working and it was a little chilly! That said, we we informed of the heating problem on arrival and an attempt had been made to telephone us about it beforehand. And it didn't detract from the otherwise superb dining experience. We are very fortunate to have such an excellent gastronomical offering in our local area. We have dined there before and certainly will again.

Fabulous once again for a little family get together. Food was fabulous … Me and my son attempted the butchers block together but it defeated us the lamb chops , chicken gammon and sausages were beautiful , there was a very large rump steak and personally I would have been prepared to have paid a bit more for a smaller sirloin as it is a leaner cut and the pork chops were ok. My wife had the steak and ale pie which was fab and the chicken gyros pitta to start which was beautiful. Amazing quality food , service second to none and a great atmosphere 10/10.

We had an brilliant time at the Nant Ddu as a group 3 couples. Excellent food and staff were fabulous and a real credit to the Hotel. Can’t wait for the next get together there. Superb value all round 👍
