No. 5 Pontcanna

We had the 3 course lunch for £21 - such incredible value for money! Honestly some of the best food we had in Cardiff! All three courses were delicious and beautifully flavoured, as well as generous portion sizes. Highly recommend - the staff are really lovely too!

Just a quick note to say that No. 5 is a really great addition to the Pontcanna food scene, offering something a little different - more low key, but with a focus on great quality dishes. Went for dinner a few weeks back (there's a lovely intimate atmosphere) and just had breakfast there this morning, and it really is very good. I'm looking forward to doing a better review with pictures for our next visit. Update 28 April 2024 We decided to try No. 5 Pontcanna for Sunday lunch and, having tried and tested and accumulated a fair few favourites in and around Cardiff, I've got to say this didn't disappoint. On the contrary everything about the experience was spot on. Kudos to the staff, who were pleasant, receptive and quick to please. The kitchen too, were on-point. Good ingredients and really great flavours. And there was a really great atmosphere. A perfect Sunday afternoon lunch.

Having read so many great reviews of Bullys I'm pleased to say it didn't disappoint. It has a really nice atmosphere, attentive and friendly service and delicious food. I had fish based courses, the husband meat based and it was all beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Good value for money for quality too. Would definitely go back next time I'm in Cardiff

Exceptional quality food with a small seasonal menu. Meat and fish dishes were beautifully cooked as were the vegetables. There was also a vegetarian choice. Desserts were delicious and the presentation and detail made this a a really special meal. Excellent wine list and great service. Will definitely return.

Hope they do well. Lunch time specials was good simple food, done very well. No pretentiousness to the food or price. Look forward to a breakfast / brunch visit. Best of luck to the owners.

The food 3.5. Service 5. The food at times was less flavorful than you’d expect from the appearance of the dish. For Cardiff, I’m not sure you’ll find better, but compared to a major city, I was underwhelmed with the food. The food also felt really heavy - I don’t usually feel heavy after French food. But I suppose this is a British French fusion. I’d probably return here if I was in the neighborhood, but I would be careful on what I’m ordering. (I didn’t like any of the appetizers and I tried all 4). The place itself is really cozy and unique!

Beautiful place for brunch. High quality food and attention to detail was amazing. Service was spot on with the friendly staff and waiting times. Will definitely be back.

A good experience, nice decor and set-up, once you're in you do forget that you're somewhere in Cardiff and it takes you in a small restaurant from France. The food was very good, ham hock starter with a beautiful scotch egg was very well put together with the pickled veggies, worked excelent. Nice pork belly and duck, good wine, loved the nutty ice-cream, had a side of fries which I think it was the only pre-made food out of them all an you could taste and see that, soaked in oil. Could do with some chairs a bit more comfortable. All in all a very nice place with excelent food and good atmosphere.
