A friendly, independent cafe that serves top notch grub…read more We found this place online and decided to pay them a visit as the burgers sounded good - we weren't disappointed! 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!

There is nothing better than a Caramel Macciato while shopping in Newport. The staff is friendly…read moreand the coffee is out of this world. For me the best coffee shop around. Ok, the prices might be a bit high, but it is certainly worth it. And you can choose from an endless list or just create your own. You can also choose Soya milk for all those with lactose intolerance or the 'skinny' version (with skimmed milk) for everyone who needs to watch their figure! (me!!!) I also buy my coffee bean there and grind them myself (but you can get them grinded there). So I can enjoy a quality coffee at home. I just wish you could order it over the internet as I don't always want to drive to Newport just for some coffee.

Whenever I am catching a train from Newport I always visit Tracks Coffee House because its situated…read morejust across the road from the station and does superb food.Tracks decor is very light and airy with a modern feel to it,not dark and dingy like most other cafes in town!!They do a wide range of snacks,not just sandwiches but lasagna,pasta,soup,jacket potatoes and my favourite pitta bread filled with your choice and served with a hearty side salad..delicious. All their food is reasonably priced home made and freshly prepared on the premises ,the owner even makes his own fudge to sell and its divine. Its nice to go here and relax before a long train journey,much better than a cardboard cold coffee at the station!!

Parc Pantry hasn't been around for very long but it's already topping the list of where to eat in…read moreNewport. The owner of this small cafe/deli is one of the many people running the operations behind the display counter. As you walk in the shop, you first see a little shop that sells cards and trinkets. In the far end is the display case and counter where you can order food. The other half of the restaurant is the dining area, where the food is brought to your table. The decor of this place is wonderful - quaint country cottage style theme with bright colours, simple wooden furnishing, while maintaining minimalism. Great place for a bunch of girls to meet for brunch (as was most of the clientele when we arrived for brunch before we headed out to go castle hunting for the day. The food selections are limited to sandwiches and salads as it is a cafe but they do a great job with the menu. We had: - two capuccinos - one chorizo and chicken wrap: tasted mexican and was recommended by the owner - one breakfast toastie: came with a delicious salsa The total was about 13 quid and the atmosphere makes you not want to leave. Also they have free wifi. They close at 5pm so it's not a place to have dinner. If I lived in Newport, I'd definitely be here all the time.

I started going to Coffee#1 back in 2010. I used to go to Starbucks(Newport) but the service was…read morejust terrible. I wasn't expecting much from Coffee#1, but I was pleasantly surprised. The drinks are always made perfect and the service is incredible. Within the second time of going there, the staff had already remembered me and were very welcoming. Their food is also good quality(for a coffee shop). The reason why im giving it four stars and not five, is there's always the same annoying people outside all day, everyday. They were friends with the staff so, of course, they have first digs on the outside seating. They don't let anybody sit down and will not move for nobody. I guess that kind of makes a dent on the business for people who want to sit outside.

Should you ever find yourself in Newport, Wales - and there's absolutely no reason to think you…read moreshould unless you live there or are lost - then you will find a lunchtime trip to Ridgeway Bar and Kitchen a wholly satisfying affair. We stopped here on the way from London to Pembrokeshire. It's half way and it was lunchtime and call us mad but we weren't fancying the Little Chef. A quick look online had some bizarre suggestions for good places to eat just off the M4 including a Mcdonalds and a service station where you could buy sandwiches. We needed to dig deeper. Eventually we found a write up for a small place in the Newport suburbs which didn't sound grim. The write up did it a disservice. It's an excellent place. Nestled on a residential road with bungalows and rhodedendrums everywhere, you wonder how anyone but a local would ever know about this place. Perhaps that's all they need because the place full when we got there. It's a bar/restaurant which has been done out in a sort of American pantry style, lots of whitewashed wood, all bright and airy. The menu is full of good classics, calamari, smoked mackerel pate, ham hock etc, and there's a grill section with burgers and steaks. If you ordered two courses in the right combination you could get a lunchtime deal of £12. Cue finding the most expensive things available on that deal. I had hanger steak, the missus had a fish medley and Stanley had the usual. It's fair to say my steak was nothing short of excellent. Full of flavour as that cut always is, but with the added charcoal grill charred criss cross. Very satisfying. Crispy fluffy chips accompanied and so did a juicy field mushroom and tasty grilled tomato. I chose a bernaise sauce which was unctuous and tasty, with the nice sharp vinegar reduction. The only bit of nit picking was that it wasn't quite warm enough. Didn't stop me mopping up the lot. A simple dish executed to perfection. The fish plate was a similar story. Small chunks of battered cod done perfectly, some very tasty calamari, a trout pate and some good bread to spread it on. Great stuff. Stanley's hamburger was juicy and tasty and the bun had a good glaze but was satisfyingly doughy. Buoyed by the superb mains and encouraged by the lunchtime deal we ordered a brownie and an apple crumble. Both were stupidly tasty and moreish which was lucky because the portions were generous in the extreme. It occurred to us that the people here are concentrating on keeping the food simple but executing it perfectly. Nothing is worse than a simple dish done badly. Nothing better than a simple dish made with love and care. The service was wonderfully friendly, two bright and breezy sisters who were happy to stop and chat even though the place was packed. Newport may not be the most buzzy of places but the locals are lucky to have the Ridgeway Bar and Kitchen, as good a lunchtime stop off as anywhere 150 miles east up the M4. We'll be stopping here on the way back.
