After trying for a while to get a table at Le Monde we finally went there this week. Firstly it was really busy on a Monday night with hardly any tables free - which is a great sign.
I’ve always been a fan of the Martinez family restaurants so I knew what to expect in terms of the menu and food.
The atmosphere and the style of the restaurant was impressive, with the best wine selection I’ve seen in any Cardiff restaurant.
Service was 10/10. Our waiter had a real eye for detail, and was attentive but very professional.
Food was amazing, wine was perfect. Would highly recommend.
This is one of those really interesting places to eat. I'm not really interested in restaurants where you have to stand staring at a board to choose what you fancy eating. But at Le Monde, you have to.
There is a board to choose your starters, and mains. But there's a fish counter where you choose your desired fish to be taken away and cooked to your liking with optional sauces, vegetables or a great salad selection.
My wife chose the fish soup and I had the homemade fishcakes. Followed by swordfish steaks. The food here is cooked to perfection but, be warned, this place is busy, busy, busy. So you need to book in advance and don't expect a quiet romantic meal, but professionalism you will get.
I would definitely come back here if I were to visit Cardiff again.
Le Monde is a Cardiff institution, and I can understand why. Service, food, wine, and atmosphere are all spot on.
Selection and quality of seafood and meat is hard to beat anywhere else in the city. The wine list is very extensive.
Highly recommend a visit for any special occasion, or as a treat.
