Bauhaus Coffee Shop is a quirky little coffee shop in Bridgend town centre. A nice layout and…read moredecor, the tables aren't too squashed together even though there isn't much space. There are tables outside both doors, so you can sit outside in the summer (or in the winter if you need to smoke!) The service is friendly and pretty quick. Prices are reasonable, and the menu is standard coffee shop fare - sandwhiches, panninnis etc. There are some lovely homemade soups on at the moment, which make a nice change for a winter lunchtime. They also have pies and other specials on at the mo. After trying most of the bridgend coffee shops during a lunchbreak Bauhaus ranks as one of the best in Bridgend. It's nice that independent coffee shops are still going strong in Bridgend - you definately get more friendly service here than in a typical chain coffee place.

There are only a few tables, and they are tightly packed in - but in this atmosphere they fit well and you don't feel uncomfortable. There are two or three benches 'outside' - which is actually inside the arcade, so still warm and covered. The food served is fairly plain and basic - the usual cafe staples - such as sandwhiches, backed potatoes. Best of all though are the homemade cakes and desserts. There is a good choice every day - and they always look (and taste) yummy. Good value - but sometimes too busy to get a table at lunchtime.

LAST time I was in Bridgend, I recall noticing how ugly and avoidable the town centre's riverside…read morearea was. But after a huge effort from the council and business community, attractive bars and restaurants like The Old Cottage can thrive in a setting as beautiful as any town or city in the UK. The Old Cottage is one of the first businesses to take advantage of the new Ogwr riverside walkway and provides an enjoyable place to eat out. A short walk along the shiny new pathway leads you to an opening with a few cobbled steps down to the outdoor eating area. The Old Cottage is a newly renovated building, created tastefully in the Georgian style. On the evening we arrived the sun was blazing, so my girlfriend and I asked to be seated in the small but pretty yard outside. We ordered garlic tiger prawns and a home-made chicken liver pate, which we shared, to start and two sirloin steaks, with which we were offered the choice of salad, or fried, boiled or mashed potatoes. The starters came promptly and the garlic tiger prawns were large and juicy as well as being very tasty, while the pate came with salad garnish and sweet chutney that seemed to complement it well. As we waited for our steaks, our hunger pangs were teased with the delightful aroma that emerged from the main kitchen window. To complement our 8oz steaks, which were pan-fried to a juicy medium rare, we ordered a bottle of Emilliana Chilean red, which sadly seemed to be suffering from a slight reaction with the cork. Our generous portions of steak were laid out neatly on large white plates with crisp and tasty side salads and onion rings and there was a large tray of crispy French fries for us to share. The steak was tender and melted in my mouth. In these days of penny pinching two-for one deals or steak and a pint for a fiver, the Old Cottage may have to review its pricing policy to keep up. But I enjoyed the Old Cottage and found it a refreshing place to relax and enjoy a tasty meal on a sun drenched evening in the heart of a town that is often unfairly ignored by outsiders.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Zia Nina's, appreciating the rugged wooden tables and chairs. How many times have you been p*ed off by a wobbly table whilst attempting to enjoy a meal? The tables were adorned with glass bottles of varying dimensions as candle holders - not unusual but I prefer them to a poxy tea light candle. Service was excellent, our drinks order was taken straight away and the waiters continued to check on us (also the sign of a profitable restaurant!). Menu - wide range of pasta dishes, chicken, steak, numerous starters and side dishes that you would expect in an Italian. I had the Pollo Bosco (around £11) which was essentially a generous portion of chicken breast with a creamy white wine sauce with garlic and mushroom. The meal was also served with cubes of fried potato, green beans and mushroom. I also enjoyed the house red, which was extremely drinkable ;) although I could only have the one glass as designated driver. All in all a very pleasant evening and I would definitely return soon to try something more adventurous!
