Ember at No5

Ember blew us away! We took our in-laws here for lunch, and we’ll absolutely be coming back - delicious cocktails, brilliant service, and a lovely tasting menu! The rabbit from the a-la-carte menu was so tasty, and we really enjoyed the fresh pastas on the set menu - definitely order the pavlova for dessert it was amazing!

Sunday lunch of dreams! Our usual Friday and Saturday night favourite , we decided to try the Sunday lunch and it didn’t disappoint. The beef was exceptional and as a pasta lover it was so refreshing to have the choice of something other than a roast. The service and the wine was on point as usual. Thank you 🙏🏻

We really enjoyed our trip to Ember. The set menu lunch was brilliant value and every course was on point. I had Sweetbreads to start, duck fettuccine and then buttermilk pannacotta and loved it all. Wines were good quality and fairly priced and the Olive Oil gin martini I had to start was pleasantly different. Nice light and airy place to spend a lunchtime. We'll be back! ❤️

First visit here for Sunday Lunch and it won't be my last. I chose oysters to start and lamb for mains. Best lamb I've ever tasted, literally just fell off the bone. My companions had the beef and they loved it.

We drove past this restaurant, searched about it and thought we would give a try as we loved the sister restaurant nearby. We went for chef’s menu and shared 7 dishes between us. We loved all the dishes from start to finish. Service was excellent. The atmosphere was cosy and light. The price was good for the portion and the quality. Our best dish was the focaccia, salami, ink risotto, and panna cotta. Would definitely return.

We were out for a celebratory meal for the two of us. Really pleased with the atmosphere, the food and the wine. It was relaxed but good quality, attentive: a warm experience for any circumstance. We look forward to returning for the set menu which looked excellent - imaginative and well-priced. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful Saturday lunch here recently. We've long been patrons of this particular building when it was Bully's (something of a Cardiff institution) but we were delighted to discover that Ember at No5 have exceeded our expectations and really set a great standard. The front of house explanation of the menu was top class. There are different plate sizes ranging from nibbles to a full main course, and everything we ate was spot on. The rosemary focaccia was delightfully light and really set the tone for the rest of the meal. I had the crab/ asparagus / apple starters and the Roast Chicken mains, and both were excellent. The consistency of the crispy skin on the chicken was exemplary, and the whole dish was abundant in terms of quantity and quality. The rest of our table (of 4) all had a great meal. The next time we return, I'm determined to dive into the extensive wine list!!!

We went as a couple for a birthday treat. We picked the chef's menu to get a flavour of the restaurant and have to say it was spectacular. I would never ordinarily order pasta but the pasta dish was the highlight, the fish was top tier and the focaccia bread served with dip was plentiful and satisfying. We don't drink but the non alcoholic options were very good. Well done to everyone there we loved it.
