The steak was cooked exactly as I asked, which I appreciate. The curry and mac and cheese were both solid. A good, straightforward meal.

The gyros are a proper hangover cure, and the portions are huge. What really stood out was the vibe &ndash; it&rsquo;s a simple, no-frills spot, but the space feels bright and relaxed. The waitress was lovely, too.

The hanging kebab was a fun presentation. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted.

Busy Sunday brunch spot. Their Scottish eggs are spot on - perfectly runny yolk, crisp sausage. The breakfast brioche was good, but the banana bread with bacon was the real star. Sweet, salty, and just the right amount of greasy. A solid find.

Lovely little spot tucked away from the crowds. Perfect for a quiet catch-up with friends over their fresh baguettes.

Menu has solid options. The student and family deals are a plus. Portions are decent, didn&#39;t feel overpriced. Good spot for a straightforward meal.

The tasting menu was a real journey. Each plate was like a tiny piece of art, especially the bass&mdash;it just melted. A lovely, thoughtful evening.

I had a fabulous afternoon tea at The Ivy, where the food was delightful and the staff were fantastic. The chocolate cake served in a plant pot was a fun surprise, and the desserts were simply delicious. A truly wonderful experience!

The food here is amazing and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a good meal without breaking the bank.

Some of the best Thai food in Europe! Menu had a great variety. Food was amazing. Service was fast and friendly. Would definitely eat here again. Highly recommend!

The food tastes so authentic, just like in Thailand. I really appreciate how fresh and vibrant the ingredients are.

The interior is just stunning. Love the high ceilings and those huge windows letting in all the light. Felt really spacious and airy, a nice change from some of the more cramped spots around.

Great little spot for a quick lunch. Feels like a proper family-run Italian place. Got the carbonara, came out fast and was spot on. Definitely gets packed though, had to wait a bit for a table.

Staff swapped a dish for my dietary restriction, no fuss. The meat thali was a good call, loads of variety on one plate. Just what I needed after a long walk.

The outdoor play area was a lifesaver! Our little ones were happily occupied, so we could actually chat and enjoy our food without interruptions. A real game-changer for a family lunch.

Service was pleasant and the pasta was pretty good. The waitress was attentive without being overbearing. A solid meal overall, though the portion felt a bit on the smaller side.

The bottomless brunch portions were generous, and the house ros&eacute; was a surprisingly good match for the eggs benedict.

The steak was exactly medium-rare as I asked. The peppercorn sauce was rich and had a nice kick. Veggies were crisp and well-seasoned. A solid, straightforward meal.

Been coming here for years, and the burger deals on certain days are still a solid reason to swing by. Portions are generous, which is nice. The kids&#39; menu is a decent size too, keeps the little one happy. It&#39;s just a reliable spot for that.

First time trying the Lamb Cawl here. It was so rich and hearty, really hit the spot on a damp evening. The broth had a deep, savoury flavour that was just right.

The staff were lovely, the food was delicious and my kids and I had a lovely time. The air con however was a little cold but they turned it down when they realised.The seats need some TLC and it&#39;s not very pram friendly but the staff went over and above to make sure that we were as comfortable as possible.

A decent spot to watch the Six Nations. The Welsh atmosphere is pretty good, though it does get quite loud.

Food came quick and tasted good. Drinks were decently priced, especially for the city centre. Not a bad spot to grab a bite.
