    Situated in Mill Lane's 'Café Quarter', La Brasserie has long been a fashionable favourite amongst…read moreCardiff's café bar hang-outs. Inside, la Brasserie is kind of cosy but smart, with dark wooden furniture and jugs hanging from the beamed ceiling, and the menu offers European dishes with an emphasis on game and meat dishes. La Brasserie has a separate area outside called The Terrace, which is what this review is about. The Terrace is one of the many popular al fresco seating areas in this Mill Lane area of town, all of which get heaving with sun-seekers in the summer. It has a decent range of different wines, and its own separate menu with lunch from £7.95, including things like Caesar salad, grilled meat, and lighter bites - all tailored towards offering the type of food you want to eat when it's sunny. I've only eaten out at The Terrace (not inside La Brasserie), and the food there was pretty good, as was the wine - I'd recommend it for a lazy summer afternoon.

    La Brasserie is one of the many restaurants in Cardiff that is mediocre at best, which is a shame…read morebecause I heard it used to be one of the best in the city. I came here for a works lunch, and it being the height of summer, we decided to bake outside at The Terrace. The best thing this place has going for its prime location for people watching. Admittedly, there aren't very many areas of Cardiff that beat Mill Lane for it. The food was sadly forgettable. I guess my hopes were set a bit high, but aren't everyone's? I, like Amanda, had barely finished my starter when the server came swooping around the corner with my main. The cuisine may be better in the main area of the restaurant, but to be honest, I'm not really in a hurry to find out.

    It's too bad Grape and Olive isn't in a more convenient location…read more Situated on the periphery of the city centre's orbit, it's arguably a bit remote for those without a car (forget about finding it if you're a tourist), and my annoyance is compounded by the fact you have to pay for the privilege of parking in their car park. The staff will validate your ticket, but it's an unwelcomed hassle, nonetheless. Once you make it inside, Grape and Olive does offers a fine dining experience, marked by beautifully presented food and helpful and friendly staff. But I somehow feel like I'm dining in a hotel restaurant - there's not much to distinguish it from its competitors in terms of interior design - it just seems sadly bland to me. But they do offer free Wi-Fi, making it an ideal location for a business lunch. The menu, however, remains its saving grace. It's always refreshing for pizza enthusiasts to dine happily alongside red meat aficionados (I was in the latter category and found my steak to be cooked to perfection), so major points for Grape and Olive's extensive menu which is sure to satisfy all palettes.

    Do yuppies still exist? Whatever they are, they're in here drinking £4 pints of Peroni, eating warm…read morefocaccias filled with organic pan-fired (what else do you shallow fry in?) chicken coated in authentic Italian pesto and rustic salad, all the while sat in an ocean of beige, mistaking inoffensiveness for stylishness. The Grape & Olive is in a bizarre location, stuck on the end of Wedal Road. It finds itself surrounded by a medical centre, an old people's home, a graveyard (no direct relation) and a council recycling facility (ditto). It used to be a Charlie Chalk's years ago, and if only they left the ball pit in the basement, then there would something interesting and fun here. Instead you're left swimming through a sea of self-satisfaction and smugness. The service here is generally excellent, though with Brains cutting back hours across the board, it might not be long before the quality of service dips, through no fault of the staff, but because there simply isn't enough of them. The proximity to Heath Hospital means that there is a pay and display car park, though this can be claimed back from the bar. Another hindrance to this awkward place.

We were seated in the bar area and I opted for what I thought was a glass of champagne but it turned out to be a champagne cocktail 'the classic'. Wasn't to my taste! But my mistake. They have no draft beers, but some bottled and a good selection of bottled ciders. We were then seated at a big round table - too big in my opinion cos I felt I needed to shout to everyone on it! The menu looked amazing. As French as you could possibly get so I was in heaven. The waitress then came over and told us half of it they didn't have! Bit naughty not to mention it on the website cos there was a lot missing. I chose the steak tartare to start, It was delicious! Fillet steak minced with pickles and mustard through it, it was quite fiery actually, I think there was quite a bit of Tabasco in it too but it really enhanced the dish. Wasn't sure about the raw egg yolk served on top but I was pleasantly surprised. I opted for a bottle of the Pinot noir which was nice and subtle, the more expensive of the wines at 30ish quid. But that was at the top of the price range on the wine list so quite reasonable really for all the wines ( it helped I wasn't paying too! ). For the main I went for the sirloin steak, served with fries and the best pepper sauce I have EVER tasted. Yes The Yeoman - it beat yours! (can't believe I just said that). I asked for it to be cooked rare but it was slightly overdone. Usually I would have sent it back but it was so tasty I didn't actually need to. Everyone else was thoroughly enjoying theirs too. For pudding I shared a cheese board and again was transported through those pearly white gates. The cheese's where magnific! Melt in your mouth blue, Brie to die for, a lovely smoked one which I thought I wouldn't like. Yum. Yum. YUM! My friends chose the baked Alaska which was flambé'd at the table, it looked amazeballs. We all left stuffed and giddy. It was a real treat, I highly recommend for a extremely pleasant evening out. Thankyou Jane and Keith!
