Delicious home-cooked food served with a smile in this quaint little cafe, tucked away in a shopping arcade. Well worth a visit . Exactly should visit

Decent. Nice selection of vegetarian and vegan things. Nice atmosphere. A little too casual perhaps (they were closing early because they were running out of food) but fine otherwise.

My enjoyment of a restaurant can normally be determined by the likelihood of me ordering exactly the same thing when I go back. It seems illogical but if you’ve hit 21 why would you twist? At Hang Fire , I always order the ribs. At Mowlana, I always order the joojeh. At Hogwurst , I always order Ze German. At Caffe Citta , I always order the bruschetta. When I go back to Thé Pot I will undoubtedly order the same… Thé Pot was taken over by new owners in May last year and has been building a reputation for the French bistro food they now serve alongside the breakfasts and brunches they’ve always been known for. French food is a good fit - firstly because of their quasi-French name (everyone I know calls it The Pot despite the accent) and secondly because the dining space (with its exposed brickwork, open kitchen and eclectic furniture) feels like a little Paris bistro. Whilst Mrs G and I chose from the good value midweek dinner menu, which offers 2 courses and a glass of wine for £18.50, we kicked off with a pair of absurdly well-priced kir royales (£3.50). A complimentary shot of wild mushroom and truffle soup was fragrant, creamy and intensely shroomy; a killer start to the meal.  Baguette with whipped butter, again on the house, was good but could have been a touch crisper. Starters were both marvellous. A cauldron of French onion soup had stacks of flavour; it was seriously savoury with just the right amount of sweetness. A crisp crouton topped with melted gruyère completed the dish.

Went here twice, need to book a few days prior. Cosy environment and serves high quality food. £20 for two courses from Tue to Thurs night, a really greay price indeed. The sardine, bouillabaisse, steak and scallop are my favourites.

La Pentola is a restaurant very local to us and we went for an impromptu visit on a Saturday night and were blown away by how great the food was here! Each dish is so original and superbly tasty! This is one of the only fresh pasta restaurants in Cardiff and the pasta was delicious! We will be back very soon and would highly recommend this small but wonderful restaurant!

A wonderful warm atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Great quick service, I had the Full Welsh breakfast (pictured) and my partner had the Eggs Benedict. Both were sensational, will be back the next time we’re in Cardiff!

Went here for breakfast...food worked well together and overall was very tasty indeed. Maybe one for a hearty meal rather than a light snack. Would recommend the breakfast omelette!

Went with work group today, easy access & clean toilet. Amazing food and ambiance. Great service with smiles & positive body language, nothing was too much for them, ask for hot water & lemon drink before my meal. Pizza carne was delicious and great potion. My mates said their steaks & pasta with prawns were also very good. Highly recommend this restaurant & a credit to Cardiff.
