In a sea of odd ethnic restaurants (pun intended) designed for students of Swansea University, Slice is an exception dedicated to British Fine Dining. Located on a tiny, run-down street in Sketty, Slice sits at a corner in a shape of a cake slice with a large window in their kitchen facing the street so you can watch the Chef and sous chef (just the two of them) making magic. The chef is switched between Adam or Chris, the story is that they take turns manning the front of the restaurant or cooking. The restaurant was previously owned by chefs Helen Farmer and Philip Leach but it was sold to Adam and Chris in 2014 who are maintaining the great reputation that the previous owners established. Slice can seat about 18 people at one time in their upper floor dining area and the tip of the slice is a little bar where they make marvellous but pricey cocktails. The menu is small in both selections and prices - £35 for three courses. I believe that for the most part, the ingredients are locally sourced as it is a small establishment with changing menus. Reservation is definitely necessary. We came for my boyfriend's birthday over the Easter Weekend and had: - four cocktails: great - one port: great selection - amuse bouche of cauliflower soup in an espresso cup: good! - starter crayfish raviolo in crayfish bisque: a huge single ravioli stuffed with crayfish stuffs, a bit bland but tasty. The accompanying cooked lettuce was kinda weird - starter quail egg with coriander spiced barley: Delicious! Never knew you can eat Barley like this! I definitely preferred this over the crayfish pasta - main goat loin, leg pie and pressed shoulder: Amazing! To be fair, I've had goat cooked with less of the earthy taste but the flavouring was done so well that the loin exploded in your mouth. Fantastic pairing with the collard greens. The pie was not to my taste as it was tomato-based but i loved that it was broiled in a little pan. Great presentation on this - main pork loin, pork cheek on a bed of creamy cabbage and frothy dressing on the side: Wonderful! the loins were cooked so well and everything paired together amazingly - dessert selection of british cheese: i'm not a fan of cheese but it was alright - dessert cheesecake with honeycomb grilled pineapple: No good....the cheesecake was kinda weird - apparently baked and then mushed up and baked again. I was neither impressed with the flavour, texture, nor its presentation. I did enjoy the grilled pineapple. The total for everything above was £100 - not bad at all! Overall, I would say that their food is fantastic but their dessert left us wanting. Service is incredible (they did a happy birthday plate for my bf and some brownies cuz he had ordered cheese for dessert). The ambiance and decor is contemporary while homey. Their bathroom had tea towels freshly laundered for individual hand-drying, which was a great touch. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for fine dining in southern wales!

We visited here on a recommendation and were hugely impressed. This is a REAL place for foodies…read more It's upstairs and you can see the kitchen downstairs from outside. It's definitely intimate with only a small number of tables, and has the best service we have had anywhere (and we've been to Michelin star places) from the owner/head server. The food was all locally sourced and she could tell you everything about all of it, and it was all fabulous. They have a small menu available which I understand changes frequently, so each dish is executed perfectly. I had gravalax followed by fish and my husband had venison and although we were both stuffed after two courses we had to have dessert too poached pear with honeycomb icecream when food is this good you can't say no! Only downside was that as it is upstairs I can't see how it could be accessible, which with family with mobility disabilities would prevent us taking them to enjoy it always a bug bear when a place is only a few years old and therefore could have chosen to be accessible to everyone. Otherwise, just wonderful.

Although, guys... if you happen to be on a date in Swansea and want some place to take your date, stop in here because she'll be impressed. While they are known for their seafood, if you are not a fan of seafood there are options for you as well! We were late for our reservation, but they still sat us. Not only were we there in a group, but there were couples, and even a few families, so it appears as though it is popular with a wide range of people. I shared a starter with my date... it was scallops with a side of laverbread. It was the first time I had laverbread and unfortunately I just didn't like it, but my date really seemed to enjoy it. The scallops were wonderful! Don't think I've ever had scallops so fresh. I ordered the salmon with a nicoise salad. The salmon was just done wonderfully... not overcooked at all. The nicoise salad... garnish... whatever it was, I was not as impressed with it. I did have the sauteed potatoes, which were wonderful as well! My date had the scallops, sea bass, and seafood parcel. I tasted the sea bass and it was even better than my salmon! For dessert, we had the trio of bread pudding, apple pie, and creme brulee... Skip the trio and go for the bread pudding. Out of the three it was the best and I had wished I had just ordered the bread pudding! The staff were very attentive and very patient with us... there was quite a bit of wine and bubbly flowing, so you can imagine that our table may have been a handful for them, but they handled it very well! I really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere (no, not just because of the wine and champagne...) and hope to go back and try some of the other dishes... and of course have more of that bread pudding!

The Rake & Riddle caters for everyone with a tidy sized restaurant, sports bar and cafe. There is an outdoor seating area and play area for the kids. With a tidy sized car park to the rear. I had the mixed grill, which was cooked perfectly, and my wife had the Gammon which she thoroughly enjoyed. The chips that came with both are cooked just like regular chip shop chips, which is a major plus from us. The price is comparable with similar restaurants and I felt the portions were good value for the money.

The menu is quite extensive, and I'm sure you will find something you like in there. My advice, is to pop in and pick up a menu, and have a good read through it, then place your order. You will recieve a complimentary bag of Prawn Crackers / Pompadum if you spend more than £10, or a complimentary soft drink if you spend more than £20. There is a delivery charge of just £1:00 within 2 Miles, and 50pence for every mile thereafter. Still good value all round in my opinion..
