I'm not entirely sure what Demirios classes itself as because the menu has a little bit of everything. It offers a taste of Wales, Spain and Italy, so get your head around that if you can. I've only sampled the taste of Italy the few times I've been there because it's hard to go wrong with pizza and pasta and to their credit it's been fantastic. The setting is kind of like an 80s Italian, pseudo flashy but bordering on tacky. During the summer they have a rotund man with a keyboard and mini pa system singing bizarre Italian/Spanish/Welsh hits outside the restaurant, It's almost ridiculous but I love it. It must be a hit with the A crowd because last time I went I saw Rhys Ifans and his entourage ordering a huge amount of champagne for the beautiful hangers on. Sadly though, I was not invited. read more

A boyfriend of mine once took me here for Valentine's day and after that I was tempted to never visit again. We were crammed in, surrounded by couples who looked like they really didn't want to be talking to each other and there were so many red heart shape balloons I was nearly sick. Said Boyfriend did not last much longer after that. Anyway I did eventually go back in the summer because it's outside section just made me feel like I was on holiday. The Welsh/Spanish/Italian menu is interesting and your guaranteed to be torn between at least two dishes. I went for fish and was really happy with what I got. Not the cheapest place to eat in the bay but not ridiculously overpriced either and good for a quality meal. Our waiter was also really fun and helpful. read more

Demiros try their best to drum up business to beat the competition from the ever pervasive chain restaurants that are becoming increasingly present in Cardiff Bay and I'm pleased to say they seem to be winning. They often put on a singer outside for the entertainment of their customers and passers by. Last bank holiday they had a Shirley Bassey look-a-like doing a passable impression to the joy of the congregated crowd. The food is also good fair but like Tiffany i had pizza which is hardly a challenge for and Italian restaurant. So next time you go to the bay before you consider Pizza Express, which you can go to anywhere in the country try Demiros as they are a local business and worth of the support as they put in quite a bit of effort. read more

Now fully open serving customers by booking. A great venue for a family gathering and our group had ages from 5 to 67. Children and teens, parents and grand parents. The menu is diverse and full of practical and choice offerings. Everyone ate and everyone loved it. Moses was our waiter and he served us well. Many thanks to all who made our evening one to be remembered. read more

Excellent service, delicious food, lovely atmosphere, entertainment on weekends and a comfortable place to sit and watch the world go by. Highly recommended. The best restaurant down the Bay In our opinion. read more

Demiro's is a Mediterranean restaurant in Cardiff's fashionable Cardiff Bay area. With a chocolate fountain running constantly, your taste buds will perk up the second you take your seats, but if that doesn't do it for you, the menu certainly will. Boasting a diverse variety of food ranging from tender lamb to fresh mussels to creamy pasta, DeMiro's offers up the best of Welsh, Spanish and Italian cuisine for your dining pleasure. The leather and wooden interior gives it a classy feel, made all the more authentic by the overall décor of the restaurant. Service is good and the people at DeMiro's really go out of their way to ensure their customers have an enjoyable evening, with singing waiters and mid-dinner entertainment a regular feature to the restaurant. Anywhere you can get a great meal and a live soundtrack gets a thumbs up from me. read more

This restaurant was full when we pulled up, but after a moment, it was clear that it was full because of the entertainment and not the food. The only thing good about the food was the ONE pizza we ordered as a starter to share. The mains: the rack of lamb was the only thing that was remotely tasteful. The spaghetti was more like something out of a can, and, last but not least, the steak. Very badly prepared and poor quality of beef. We sent the steak back because we ordered it rare but it came out fully done!!!! Poor standard and over priced. Sadly, not coming back to this restaurant. read more

Demiro's appears to be suffering from an identity crisis - with a range of Welsh, Italian and Spanish dishes, it could possibly classify itself as a jack of all trades, but a master of none. The food is mediocre for what you pay for, but what ruins Demiro's for me is the outlandish and sadly tacky decor, complete with chocolate fountain and garish retro adornments. It reminds me of a Roman tourist-trap haunt that guide books often advise you to avoid - saying that, it's always crammed full of people, so they must be doing something right. read more

Not to be confused with Domino's, this is an interesting mix of Welsh, Spanish and Italian. On a summer's day its outdoor area is always packed out and you could almost believe that you were in the Mediterranean, especially with the waiters lurking outside to drag you in. Inside the tables are crammed in and the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired, especially when Jose and his band Mexican appear from the woodworks! Fortunately though I find the food here to be really good. I had a Spanish cheesy- chicken dish, while my friend opted for some exotic looking seafood medley and my lovely had a pizza that turned out to be massive. All our dishes cost around about a tenner, and we may have been temped to go for a chocolate fountain desert if some dirty child hadn't been putting their fingers in it just before pudding time! read more

Divine and utterly delicious! The most unique restaurant in Cardiff Bay! If you go to this place on a Friday night then maybe, just maybe you will hear some Opera being sang by the waiters! I did not believe my eyes and ears when I heard some Opera music in this restaurant being sung. I just assumed it was a CD or the radio, but the way certain men were acting it looked like they were the ones singing. Of course mum, dad and I continuously spent the evening debating over the fact as to whether or not they really where singing. Their voices certainly stunned the atmosphere when they did sing and it was difficult to talk. This may not happen in all of the Dominoes chains, but it depends on what day you go as to what your surroundings maybe like when you eat a meal. When I went there with a friend not too long ago, it was a week day and we eat down there during the day. It was very much quieter and was much more of a relaxing environment to eat within. I love its decorations and the food is just to die for. I couldn't eat all of my pizza so I didn't have a pudding, but from what I could see the chocolate pudding cake looks divine. The place is a little pricey, but the service is good and the food is excellent! I recommend it to all... read more

Fancy a night out.... Good food... Great entertainment... Look no further! I remember the day I first noticed Demiros in the bay. I was walking past and saw a crowd gathered around the entrance. After a closer look I saw a dear old man dressed in a suit and dicky bow singing away. The next time I walked past I saw a mexican themed singer belting out some tracks to the onlooking amused diners. As I walked past he grabbed my hand, span me round and gave me a wink. Ha Ha it was so funny. This was enough to tempt me in and sample the menu. I must say I wasn't disappointed. The food was very tasty, reasonably priced and was topped off with service with a smile. My top tip for this restaurant is if it is a nice evening request a table outside so you can soak up the vibrant atmosphere. It really will leave you smiling from ear to ear! read more

A lovely little restaurant offering a Welsh, Spanish and Italian menus. There could have been a little more choice of vegetarian food - there wasn't any offered on the Welsh menu. However, staff were welcoming and the pizzas are the best i've tasted. There was live music too. The only downside was the cleanliness - there were food splatters on the wall, food on the floor and the glasses we drank out of felt grimy. The cutlery was bent, table sticky and the toilets didnt smell too fresh either. I dont think i'd go there again as there are many more places in the bay offering comparably priced menus. It took an age to get the bill too. A garlic bread, 2 pizzas and a bottle of wine were priced at £40. Quite pricey all things considering. read more

Wacky decor looks like a theatre set. Great food and very attentive staff. Will be going back ! read more

This appears to be family run but I may be wrong. Nothing is too much trouble. They always go to alot of trouble when it is a special occasion. We have eaten there with our daughter and grandchildre on 2 occasions when it was Mothering sunday. The menu offered Sunday roast with a choice of meat. The children had their own menu or they could have a half portion of the adults meal. The food was delicious and the best part of the meal for my grandchildren was the chocolate fountain, we have some great photos of them covered in chocolate. They decorated the restaurant in a colour theme with matching balloons. Their normal menu offers a mediterranean choice of food, They have a pizza oven - I recommend the pizzas. They have atables and chairs outside and operate a fresh orange and champagne bar in the warmer weather. Good value and very friendly service. read more

Terrible food. Only positive thing about Demiro's restaurant were the accommodating wait staff, which is how they managed to get a star. The quality of the steak I ordered was disgusting and obviously not fresh. I asked for rare and it was well done (destroyed). So, I sent it back and when the new steak came out, it was rare, but the steak tasted and smelt old. I left half of it and only ate the other half because by this point I was starving. My friend ordered the same steak and couldn't stomach it. Usually, when customers aren't happy with their food, they aren't charged, but we were fully charged, which was disappointing. I will never ever eat here again. read more

We chose this restaurant by looking at the menu at the door. The dishes looked delicious and unique, so we were willing to pay a little more. Sadly, the food wasn't as tasty as the menu descriptions suggested. My pasta dish was good, but not as great as I expected. The menu described chicken stuffed with fresh mozzarella and basil and instead I found a scant amount of a bland pesto-type paste. The pasta and sauce was alright, but it tasted like it was lacking an important ingredient, not sure what that would be. My husband's steak was similar to something you would find in the discount bin at a convenient store. The steak was very thin and somewhat leathery, not worth the £15; though the chips were excellent. What appeared to be a high class place in passing turned out to be disappointing. Although, I will add, the service was at par. Overall, there are many other choices in the area and you can probably find a better place to dine. read more

Came for Lunch and was quite impressed with the service... staff were very attentive from beginning to end ensuring I had drinks, food, dessert, etc. and made it a very enjoyable experience. Food prices quite reasonable in my opinion for the quality and portion sizes. Large list of wines by the glass. In all it is the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff here which earn the five stars. read more

Serving Welsh, Spanish, and Italian dishes this place really can't make up its mind. The food is ok, but in my opinion rather overpriced. I also found the staff rather odd (that's the only way I can describe them). The place itself has become increasingly tacky. The decor is rather garish (lots of fake statues), red & black theme etc... On weekend evenings they often have live singers, some are rather good tribute acts, some are atrocious mimers, and depending on your mood but they can easily get on your nerves! read more

Loved loved the food and music. We had two different fish dishes, steak, and lamb, garlic bread with cheese was amazing. You will not regret

Hmmmm, not sure really. Went there on a typically wintry weekday evening back in November and took the in-laws with us. The restaurant is quite large and with only a handful of customers and the open plan interior, it completely lacked any atmosphere at all. To be honest it was all a bit depressing! The thing I don't get is the three menu's - Spanish, Italian and Welsh.It just gets confusing when ordering and took us ages to choose. I'm a typical man, I don't like too many choices. I ended up ordering a medium cooked rib eye steak (can't remember if it was welsh style or Italian). It was cooked very competently but was accompanied by a (small) handful of chips and a token onion ring or two. Even though we ordered extra bowls of veg we all left still hungry, I just don't understand restaurants like this. For the extra cost of a couple a potato's we could have had a good meal. I'd be embarrassed serving plates of food that are obviously half filled. It's hardly a fine dining style place that can get away with this. Typically average puddings. Nothing special. Weird call system for waitress's. You have a bell on your table which alerts a waitress you need them. Felt embarrassed using it when staff almost outnumbered the customers. Also, disappointingly, no live music and even worse, no chocolate fountain!!! read more

The staff is great but the food is bland. Instead of offering 10 entrees and cooking them well, they offer a multitude of choices from Wales, Italy and Spain, and all that we tasted were unremarkable. The decor reminds me of a restaurant from the 1980's and the food is not satisfactory to customers with any dining experience of competent kitchen skills. read more

Best avoided don't be fooled by what looks like friendly inviting place because it is not!! Service is terrible you are crammed in basically that want you in and out as quick as possible, staff are rude and obviously customer service is not high on the agenda. Plenty of excellent restaurants in Cardiff Bay so I would recommend you go elsewhere. Terrible evening for my daughters birthday will never go back and certainly would not recommend read more

We were a party of 6. We arrived at Demiros and placed our orders for the starter and main meal. When the garlic cheese bread arrived, it was burnt. The waiter without prompting placed the garlic cheese bread on the table and said I know it's burnt, but another will be on its way, this one will be complimentary. We ended up eating the burnt starter as the other one didn't arrive and the waiter didn't return to asked if the starters were ok. Another member of our party had garlic mushrooms on foccacia bread. The mushrooms were nice however the bread was as dry as sawdust and the bulk of the starter was mixed leaves. A mixed leaf salad would have been more of an accurate description. There were more issues with the food when the main arrived. I had requested a rib eye steak well done. When it arrived, the steak was black and burnt on the outside to the point it was like charcoal. My husband had ordered a medium T bone steak and his steak arrived blue. When the waitress eventually came to ask if everything was ok, everyone had finished eating their meal and most of my steak was left. I explained to her that the steak was burnt, this could be visibly seen as it was black and crisped. There was no acknowledgement from the waitress, no apology, nothing. She just took my plate away. We had requested some side orders of onion rings and garlic bread. The onion rings tasted like frozen shop bought ones and the garlic bread was dry. Our meal for a party of 6 came to over £300. It was a really poor dining experience for the money spent. The icing on the cake was that we were even charged for the burnt garlic cheese bread. To add insult to injury, we still had half a bottle of wine left when the waiter approached us 1hr and 3/4 hours into our meal to explain that the tables are booked by 2 hr sittings and another party would need our table at 9pm. We didn't have time to drink our wine that we had purchased. So in a nutshell,if you would like to pay for burnt food and dry food, to feel rushed and on a dining conveyor belt, having to leave purchased drinks, receive a poor customer experience, then this is the place for you. If you like quality food and would like to feel pampered and receive a good dining experience, this definitely hasn't the place for you, don't go there as you will be left with a rather large hole in your pocket with a sub standard level of service. read more

After a visit to Demiros in Cardiff Bay today, I can safely say that will be my first and last visit! Following a waiter taking our orders for drinks, the delivery of those drinks failed to arrive for 45 minutes! Within that 45 minutes, despite our order having been taken and accepted for drinks and a round of toast, we were approached with not an apology for the delay but a comment querying "did we realise this was a restaurant" from who I later was shocked to learn was the owner. Once the drinks and toast had been delivered, I was rudely tapped on the shoulder, having only just finished my drink, and prior to the bill being brought, to the owners words "so what's going on now then!" The customer service in this restaurant (or the lack of it!) leaves something to be desired and it is questionable that the owner considers it appropriate to treat customers in this way! Demiros - small tip for the future - all custom is valuable and a business is about building a good reputation! read more
