This beautiful bar/ restaurant is a treat to visit. Its decor and atmosphere takes you away from the bustle of the bay to a world where Mojitos and Pineapple Rice combine to make a fantastic night out! Open late there is no need to leave this venue where they truly make the best drinks in Cardiff!

Dim-yum!

A classy bar/restaurant in the heart of Cardiff bay which specialises in dim sum and coacktails. You can eat in the main restaurant or hire your own private booth. This is a great place to start your night with some food or to just chill out at the bar. Check it out!

I love this place! Although the food and cocktails are a bit on the pricey side, it's well worth splashing out. They also do a wicked lunchtime special where you can try a few different flavours for a good price. The decor is classy and although the resident singer can be a bit irritating the atmosphere is always a good one!! I'd highly recommend the pineapple rice and the sweet buddha martinis are delicious!! Well worth a visit if just for the cocktails!!

We had a great dinner here when visiting Wales earlier in the year. It was recommended by a friend who had been in 2007 and it lived up to expectations.

Very nicely decorated and with very polite staff. Food is dimsum and it was the nicest dim sum I'd ever had. It wasn't cheap but it was well worth it.

Also if you're a Doctor Who fan you're in the centre of Torchwood based action as the square is just around the corner.

And don't miss the drinks, we had nice tasting and gloriously presented cocktails.

Great for most of the year!

This restaurant is always heaving on the weekends and towards the end of the week, largely because of the fantastic food and crazy cocktails! The bar and waiting staff are all friendly, which adds to the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend the food here but the only thing that I find annoying is that because it's a bar as well, it gets very busy and you can find yourself shouting across the table, so to avoid disappointment I would have a relatively early meal if dining here on the weekend. Also, we went to this restaurant last Christmas for a Christmas party and were largely disappointed with the portion sizes. Considering that at any other time of the year the portions have been more than adequate, we were somewhat surprised by this. Consider yourself warned!

A beautiful bar situated right in the heart of Cardiff Bay. Very impressive interior and layout, lots of interesting seating areas and private rooms, which are available to book for a birthday party or other function for a small charge. Food menu is unique and cocktails are very well made. Staff are usually helpful and friendly and it is never too much trouble for them to make you a drink to order. Perfect. All in all, one of my favourite bars in Cardiff and when venturing out to the Bay, it is an absolute must to visit.
