Curry leaf
Indian takeaway
👍👍 Absolutely incredible, cannot recommend enough. The quality and quantity is top notch - especially for the price. Have had a fair few curries around Penarth and more than happy to say, in my experience, the curry leaf is by far the best!

👍👍 I love just down the road from Griff’s. The food is delicious, very relaxed vibe and the staff are always friendly and helpful. This fish lunch board was £7 which I honestly think these days is a bargain. Definitely becoming a regular fix

Restaurant
👍👍 This was a very different experience for us, because you get to see the chefs working/preparing while you eat. They also all come up to talk you through the meal. It was a really lovely experience and felt personal. If you had any questions, they were happy to answer. The food was all delicious and...

👍👍 Just had the best sandwich I've ever tasted. The mayo was silky smooth.bread fresh and tasty. They have a range of stunning cakes. You MUST try the custard slice. It was enormous and the best custard slice I've ever tasted. Can't recommend this little cafe enough. Would give 10 stars if I could

Gin 64
Bar
🫤 Very small, but with a rear garden that is quite pretty. It is not accessible, as a rather steep set of stairs lead down to it. Only one beer on draft. There is, as you might expect, a selection of gins, but nothing that can't be found on the shelves of a reasonable supermarket. It would be nice to...

Fablas Ice Cream Penarth
Ice cream shop
👍 First day excellent view for outside of the cafe. Ice cream excellent coffee nice blend. Will have problems in the future with the positioning of the till and ordering in the summer months with queuing getting in and out from inside. But no question top quality. But what is the definition of a sco...

Bar
👍👍 Friendly atmosphere with great beers. Plenty of seating indoors both up and downstairs plus a beer garden too. There's even a seating area between the front and beer garden for those that want to catch up on the sport too. I spied someone eating the Sunday lunch, looked impressive. Dotted around...

😠 Unpleasant rude staff, always closes early. I used to love visiting this cafe but I haven't managed to visit for years as they are always closed or closing early. Today was the last straw as I arrived ONE HOUR before closing and was told shirtily "I can only do take away" without even being looked i...

👍👍 Joe's serves perfect fries, ice creams, and drinks located on the Pier deck. They have a unique order collection system. When you place the order, they hand over a small device to you. Whenever the order is ready, the device buzzes indicating the order is ready. The device needs to be returned whil...

Bar
🫤 We were really looking forward to our visit, but unfortunately the food did not live up to the prices or expectations of a named Chef on the Michelin guide. We paid £70 for 4 tiny plates of food and one drink, perched on a bar stool. Besides the one slice of rarebit for £12, the other dishes unfort...
