On the road heading out of Cardiff from Culverhouse Cross towards Cowbridge, this pub has amazing views of Cardiff. From their outdoor seating areas you're up high enough to see right across the city to the Millennium Stadium and the Wales Millennium Centre (Armadillo). The cask ales on tap are usually local, and they also have a very nice selection of wines. The food too is extremely tasty; traditional British food, but very well sourced, cooked and presented. This is a low-ceilinged traditional pub which tends to call itself a restaurant. The prices are higher than what you might pay in other places, but this is not pub food. It's far too yummy for that.

The Welsh Rarebit was delicious, the Lamb Shoulder (slow roasted for 8 hours) melts in your mouth!

This has got to be one of the oldest pubs in South Wales, it's medieval and dates from 1380. This is one of those places that reminds you how small we used to be - I'm only 5ft 7 and I stoop through the worn wooden doors. I havn't eaten here, but there is also a well respected restaurant upstairs offering a good selection of seafood dishes. Dishes include: Brixham Crab Cake with baby leaves and lemon butter sauce (£5.25); Plaice Goujons with paprika and a sweet red pepper tartar sauce (£4.95); Roasted Fillet of Hake with a chorizo and roasted red pepper risotto ith tomato, garlic and orange sauce for £13.95 For the vegetarians on the day I visited there was: Tomato Fondue, Wild Mushroom and Aubergine Bake, finished with garlic crumb and poached egg (£4.95) and Rosemary and Truffle Arancini Risotto with a tomato, red onion and spring onion salsa ( £4.95). The restaurant opening times are Monday to Saturday from 7pm to 9.30pm. They also offer bar meals between 12 and 2 pm Mondays to Saturdays and evening meals Monday to Friday from 6 to 8 pm.

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.

One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Served with a choice of either fries or chunky wedges (think roast potato wedges and you'll get the idea). The cafe makes its own hot sauces and strawberry jams, all of which you should try if you get a chance as they're all scrumptious. You can even buy jars of the sauces to take home. Service is warm & friendly and you're made to feel incredibly welcome the second you walk in the door to the moment you leave. If you're on the lookout for something a bit more genuine and satisfying than what the nearby commercial chains can offer this is the place!

I visited here on one of the coldest days in Cardiff and had about 3 places in mind to try Welsh…read morefood but decided to give this one a try because it was closest to the train station and I was super hungry. They have a fairly small Welsh menu and I was hoping to try some rarebit but unfortunately they took it off the menu now. So, I had the lamb cawl and beef and cottage pie. The pie was absolutely amazing, one of the best I have had so far. Lamb cawl was mediocre but I didn't have too much expectation from it to begin with. Everything was very reasonably priced and you can order from the table using their app and have the food delivered at the table which was amazing for a small town like Cardiff. The place in itself is amazing, its an old movie theater converted to a pub and like other reviewers mentioned they did not tear down the theater but just built the seating around it (good decision). The seating upstairs is more private and gives a good view of the whole theater.

Ambiance/service: It is a very small place but is cozy and nice. There is a tiny and cute bar and the staff is very nice. But because it is small I would recommend reserving ahead of time. My server was very helpful in describing the dishes. Food: To start, I had a Cornish crab and potato rosti with a mustard leaf and chili. Sooo yummy and the crab was super fresh. Then, I had the spiced quail with chicory and red walnut pesto. Delicious! Next, I had the braised ox cheek with smoked pomme purée and Parmesan. Really really good. I also had a side of green beans that were made with garlic and lemon. Simple, but the best green beans I've ever had! Finally, I had a dessert of elderflower jelly, greengage (a European plum), vanilla ice cream, and biscotti. It was delicious! But I also loveeee elderflower so you definitely need to like that to have that dish. Overall, the food was excellent. I wish I could fly back to Cardiff to have it again!
