- JJamesBrighton •6 reviews5.0Dined on May 24, 2025It was post match day in Cardiff, so it was bedlam. The queue outside Bills was long, but the woman running the desk was outstanding, she managed everyone's expectations really well and never lost her cool and was professional throughout. It was a bit of a wait but once inside there were lots of staff, who all seemed to know their jobs and for how busy the restaurant was the service, speed and quality of food was very good. Could not say enough good things about our experience there.More infoBill's Restaurant & Bar - Cardiff CentralPrice: Moderate• British• Cardiff•4.4
