The Conway

Good to see it back open. Lovely casual atmosphere with good pub food to boot

Great place! Friendly and kind staff. Great food quality. We felt very comfortable eating inside. There are some tables outside too. We had the chorizo scotch egg(with roasted garlic alioli), fish and chips and focaccia BLT. Not expensive at all. Highly recommendable!

It's an epic Sunday lunch here, roast beef and vegetarian nut roast were delicious!! This was followed by amazing desserts!

Went there for our second time today. This really is a really great place. We've gone for the ham hock both times and it is to die for, couldn't recommend it more. We managed to fit in desert after the server told us what was especial good and it was a perfect end to lunch. Parking can be a little difficult but we've managed to find some spaces down the road by the wine shop both times. It shouldn't be too much of a problem. Just keep an eye out for parking permit spaces and make sure you're not in one.

Simply AMAZING! Finally a gastro-pub that doesn't serve the standardised food you'll find in 99% of the other pubs around. The menu, seasonal and genuinely intriguing, gives you a great number of options which will make you want to order everything. Food is fresh, tasty and presented with care and thought. Lovely atmosphere, welcoming staff and a great selection of drinks too. Being Italian I am always ready to critique food but this time I only opened my mouth to eat and enjoy the food. If you are looking for a great meal in a relaxed place look no further and go to The Conway.

Even with the Wales game on TV in the bar the restaurant area was lovely. Pleasant staff were there when you wanted them without bothering you every few minutes. Fish cookery excellent, wine list good and not, by today's priced unreasonable.

Excellent veggie Sunday lunch and great service

Nicely refurbished traditional pub in a leafy suburb. Prices are steep - which is reflective of the local area - but the beer is good. Service was excellent - extremely friendly - and they fitted us in for drinks on two busy nights even though we hadn't booked. Didn't eat, but other customers seemed very happy. Would definitely return when in the area.

Found this place near our Airbnb, really good food we had sausage and mash, lamb, as well as fish and chips. Whilst the kid's burger was a little over grilled, he loved the thin fries. And the staff was super friendly, overall we had a good time and enjoyed our dinner.

Surprise to me that the Conway was a bit out of the city center area However, that is the only negative given where our hotel was. Everything about this place was fabulous. We loved the service, the atmosphere and light decor to the food! We were first sat in the dining room but a large double family group was too loud for our liking so we requested to eat in the bar - which they accommodated. Starters of Scotch egg and Toasted Brie Cheese was a great to our meal. We both had steaks which were cooked perfectly which we enjoyed immensely. Last but not least we finished with the snickers bar tart which was inspired. So much so I want to try and mimic it at home. All in all, great food and service and we would love to go back.

The new Conway as its now being called is not the locals only, old man pub that it once was. Now owned by Woods Brasserie it has been totally renovated and modernized and a top chef is now in the kitchen turning out delicious food. My mother said it reminded her of Ikea, but I like the minimalist look and how its kept some of its original features. So getting down to the food, which is really what this place is all about now and I really was impressed. Granted its not the cheapest place to eat, but the food is really good and the portions are nice and big. I had a pork dish with possible the best crackling I've ever had. I'd never been to the old Conway, but will defiantly be going back to the new Conway.

Once one of your classic local pub kind of pubs, the Conway recently had a much needed makeover. Make way for the New Conway! Can you hear the trumpets tooting? No, neither can I. I was excited about this new makeover, but it's sadly lost its charm, for me at least. No longer is it a cosy front room full of locals and relaxed atmosphere, but instead it has become a posh... something. For anyone familiar with Pontcanna, this pub seems to fit right in with that middle class ability to eat out at expensive restaurants and drink fine wines. In short, this pub is now very expensive for a pub, and just not as good as other restaurants in the area. So I'm left out in the cold a little bit confused.

I'm sure that this is a brilliant pub to frequent if you are a local. That sounds so disparaging but what I mean is that the locals seem to be completely at home here. And that can make people - outsiders - feel a little awkward. It's like when you go to your friend's house but they have to visit their grandparents... Oh, you can't get picked up for a while so you have to go too. So, you sit in your friend's grandparents' house politely refusing cups of tea... Do you know what I mean? Having said that, I love that this pub gets involved in all the ways I feel pubs should. They have quiz nights, live music, real ales, TV screens. They also sell food, which I regrettably didn't partake of because I'd already eaten - smelling it when it came through, though, made me wish I had...

This is quite a nice little pub tucked away in Pontcanna. It is somewhere between a pub/bar/gastropub and in my mind does actually seem to work. Although I do sometimes feel a bit scruffy in there! Firstly, although since the refurb it is all smooth and modern clean lines etc. it still looks like a pub. With a pub bar. And some wood. There is a pub garden/patio at the front with pub tables. And it does beer. Real ales. Properly. However, it kind of becomes a bar when you see the range of drinks, the stylish interior and complete lack of massively clashing upholstery and carpet (where do pubs by this stuff?) and realise that you're not sticking to the floor. They also do good food and, although I haven't actually eaten any, the menu looks good and what I've seen come out on plates has tempted me. Most of all, it always seems quite quiet. Not dead. Not like no one goes there, but more out of the way and cosy.

A friend who is a regular took me here one sunday. I was impressed -- my first taste of welshcakes, in wales and I was hooked. Proper gastropub, so simple food got a little dressing up, but I'm not complaining. Beer is well-kept, with a decent range of gins. Well worth a visit, if you like the Nice Middle Class vibe they've got going. Not if you like a character pub.

This is the sort of pub you come to and take about 4 hours to finish your 1st pint, take it easy, relax, and why even bother looking at the time? Looking over Llandaff fields this pub really is a treat for a few easy drinks on a summers day. I wouldn't think of going here on or before I night out, this pub is for lazy Sundays only!

A great pub this, good beer, great food and good atmosphere. Always accommodating to sports teams and players. The beer garden is ok, but it is right on the road, however still an ok place to sit and have a pint post softball game!

tucked away in a little nook, near the llandaff field and a stones throw from town.. decent selection of lagers and bottled beers.. food is well priced and you can sit outside with your dog. A well run place definately gastro feel worth a visit

Lovely staff. Squashy sofas, nice food. Can't fault it
