Game-Changer! In a…read morefamily of foodies, whenever a food experience is truly spectacular, my father always quotes his Kentuckian Uncle when replying to "How is it?" - "It tastes like more" would be the reply. A broad smile - leading to a chuckle, every dish this evening at Heaneys "tastes like more." Service has been attentive, agile, warm, and accommodating. Chef "Tommy" has a different piece of music playing my head with each inventive dish - and yet despite the clear sophistication of his training - nothing about the place is fussy. I'm on vacation visiting Cardiff for the first time - had no idea I had to come to Wales for one of the most felicitous culinary explorations of my life. Even if the description of some dishes desn't excite initially - let Chef take you on a journey (definitely pick the tasting menu £42.5) trust him, his team knows what they're doing. Cheers! (Ps. Huge thanks to Oliver and his mates on the wait-staff for making my evening so special!)

Heaney's is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant serving creative dishes. You can choose between…read moretheir tasting menu (which allows for all or a slightly smaller number of courses) or a monthly tasting menu. My husband and I had the monthly menu. The dishes were all interesting and beautifully presented. My only request would be a bit more time between courses. They come quickly. Our server was pleasant and friendly, and she remained so even after the restaurant became busy. She was working hard, but always remained kind and helpful. The restaurant is casual, but also upscale. We are visitors to Cardiff. Heaney's could be a successful restaurant in California Wine County. It has the same rustic chic vibe. My only request would be different "music." The thumping house music felt out of step with the food and became tiresome. Overall, I would recommend Heaney's to anyone who enjoys the adventure of a tasting menu. It was well worth the visit.

If you're after something perhaps a little more substantial the menu also includes larger meals. The little dishes (also available as main courses) are pretty reasonably priced at £5, with a 3 for 2 offer available at lunchtime. Whilst the main dishes are a little more expensive at around £15 each, they are extremely delicious and incredibly well presented so I do believe are worth the price. The staff are all very friendly, and despite the upmarket/trendy atmosphere of the place are thankfully not pretentious. The ambiance of this restaurant is particularly good at Christmas time when it's full of very pretty white fairy light which together with the pretty Christmas trees adorning Llandaff high street, really put you in the festive mood!

I recently took the Waterbus over from the Bay to Penarth (£4 return) with a couple of friends, and discovered this place. We had a quick drink (Pimms & lemonade, of course) and then headed back. But even that quick visit left a lasting impression. The staff were very welcoming, which was nice because upon immediate impressions, this is quite a classy joint. But everyone is welcome here and there were even a number of families enjoying food and drinks. Also, my friend ELLIE (who didn't want to be named) though that the establishment was called 'Erected' because of a sign in the stonework that said the building was erected in year ....! Oh, how that made us laugh. I will certainly be going back again to sample some of the cuisine here, as I hear only good reports.
