Don't think i'll be going there any time soon.
Thank god me and the Mrs got invited there, so were not paying.
Utter shit, the place, the food and the staff
Steer clear
We’ve just been given a voucher for Pasture in High St Arcade, reviews are pretty good. Went to The Ivy the other week, not impressed at all but a recent visit to The Botanist was excellent.
I've been to Le Monde many times and never been disappointed. But not for lunch. The garlic prawns are as good as you'll get anywhere and the steak is laways good. Dover sole also top class.
Was good last year after they got taken over
The Taurus was always a good laugh
Booked the Botanist for Tuesday night Steve . Heard good things about it .Quote:

Hardly a snob Bob . I prefer to see myself as more of a gourmet or epicure...... :hehe:Quote:

The people who took it over are the ones who owned it originally. The bad time was between them leaving and coming back I think.Quote:

I know better places to take someone to dinner, but sadly none of them are in Cardiff. :hehe:

Yep, we enjoyed The Botanist Jim, surprisingly reasonable as well compared to the ‘nowhere near as good’ Ivy.Quote:

Food in Cardiff is generally shit
So I stick to a curry or harvesters
Keep it simple
Ooh! You foodie connoisseur you:hehe:Quote:

This is probably because business rates and rentals mean only the chains can afford it.
The specialist shops have been forced out.
Woodies, pavilion, solo, chessman, wardrobe, drooghi..... Nothing left is thereQuote:
