Both the white wines we tried weren't very fresh or flavourful. The Spanish fababda didn't have much of a flavour of paprika or other heat, and was mismatched with a single slice of sweet focaccia. The burgers come in ciabatta rolls that are very crusty and so not very easy to eat in usual burger style. The side-salads come with quite a lot of raw onion, which happens to be fine for me, but isn't so great for kids who you're trying to encourage to eat their veg! It's a shame to have no kids' menus or even kid-size plates. The tastiest thing was the garlic bread (where the focaccia did work) and the moules, although frites have to be bought separately!

The biggest mistake was not having dinner here on the first evening. The food, service & ambience was fantastic. We did not have much, a Moo pie, a Moo & Blu pie for myself and a "Heidi" for Grandma -- but all were fantastic and table talk diminished as dinnder disappeared. We even went for desert, the Hot Toffee was not available so I was forced to "settle" for the Pecan Sundae... poor me -- the worst thing is I had to share with my dinnermates ((grinn)) Our granddaughter is 11 and it was a great time for our 6:30 pm dinner on a Thursday.

I think the best way to describe it is an expensive restaurant for Cardiff standards, while offering get up and order from the counter service. We all had the fish pie which was lovely, however the price did not reflect the food, even if it was a nice fish pie. We spent many years in London dining, but we paid London prices but did not receive London food or servings to reflect the price. What did not help the venue was the ambiance. While dinner had a great atmosphere, lunch was depressing. Empty quiet and dead light upstairs. There were lots of staff on, however only one could speak enough English to actually tell us about the menu or hold a conversation. Just to ask questions of the menu was an ordeal. All in all it's sad after we enjoyed it so much the first time. Who knows in the future we may try again

The food here is quite pricey but I do feel that it's really worth it. Sometimes you've just got to splash the cash a little to get some decent food. And it's worth it. I left feeling full of light, delicious, high-standard cuisine. The service was also great. Full marks all round, Le Monde!

Despite having no reservation on a busy Sunday evening (Monday was a public holiday), we were seated without having to wait, and given the wine and food menus. The restaurant and bar have a proper "Spanish" feel, with wood panelling, wooden barrels and other wine related décor, without feeling cheesy or over the top. The food was good, although not outstanding, but perfectly acceptable, and the portions of tapas a good size for sharing. The wine we picked (£18) was one of the cheaper items on the list, but was very good. Service wasn't quick, but we weren't left waiting for too long for anything. It was also good to see all the staff were Spanish! By the time we left, all the tables in the restaurant area were full, and the previously quiet bar was full of people drinking and possibly waiting for tables, so it must be quite popular.
