£25 and under

Meaning land and sea in Welsh, our restaurant and bar, Tir a Môr, takes its cue from our bayside location and the very best produce Wales has to offer.

The kitchen puts a modern twist on our country’s culinary heritage, from smoked haddock, salmon and spring onion fishcake to pan-roasted belly pork, braised fennel and orange, cider apple sauce to chicken, Carmarthen ham and leek pie. Desserts elevate traditional puddings, such as Bara Brith bread and butter pudding, and apple and berry crumble with Black Mountain brandy liqueur custard.

Our Welsh credentials carry through to our drinks list, with local spirits playing a starring role in our signature cocktails and our own takes on the classics.

    Absolutely amazing from the second we stepped in the restaurant. staff were amazing and very helpful with everything. We asked for a window seat to look over the water and that’s exactly what we got. My mum needed an extra cushion for comfort as she has cancer and they were so attentive and got the extra cushion without hesitation. Overall I am extremely happy with the service we had and the food of course was to tasty and fresh! Worth every penny and I would happily go again

    We have had a few Sunday Lunches at Tir y mor over the last 5 years but unfortunately this will probably be our last. I am not one that will write a review normally but I do feel that the managers/owners of Tir y mor do need to address their level of service. We felt that the staff were brought from Wetherspoons, had no idea of the menu or how to conduct themselves in what I would have said WAS a fairly high standard restaurant. Cleanliness of uniform, conduct of greeting and service and some knowledge of the food and drinks menu would be good. The food however was good.

    Tir a MôrResponded on April 17, 2023Dear Lloyd, Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed our food on your last visit. My apologies to you for the shortcomings that you experienced during your last visit. It is never our intention for any of our guests to leave unsatisfied and I ca only sincerely apologies for the drop in standards that you where subjected to. We will work to make improvements and hopefully invite you back in the near future. Kind regards, Tir a Mor Team.

    Hotel room was fabulous and their Spa was amazing but the restaurant was a let down. Starters arrived very quickly and before the drinks. The Fishcakes and Chicken/Leek Terrine were very tasty. The waitress finally arrived with the English Sparking Wine but tried to open it with the wire/Mesulet still in place. After finally removing it, she couldn’t remove the cork and I had to do it for her! Once opened, she spilt it on the table whilst pouring it. My wife ordered the Sea Bass and noodles. When it arrived, the noodles were cold; apparently they were meant to be. Sadly the experience of good Sea Bass and slimy noodles was not good. It’s a new menu and we were told that quite a few people complained. My steak was good but slightly too peppery. We had to keep on asking for our water glasses to be refilled and filled our own wine glasses rather than waiting for the staff to reappear. Staff were really friendly and they removed the Sea Bass from the bill without prompting but the experience let the hotel down and caused us not to return the following morning for breakfast.

    5pax. Evening meal. All meals were excellent in taste, delivery and temperature. Artisanal bread was fresh and well varied. Although the veggie selection was minimal, the flavour more than made up for it. Desserts also well presented and very flavoursome. A wonderful evening out. Highly recommended! Manager was kind, helpful and quick to respond.

    I used to visit regularly before covid for Sunday lunch, and was pleased to see its come back, the food itself was very good, but I feel £25 for roast beef with some veg but no cauliflower cheese is a bit steep, usually places will offer a deal on a Sunday,for instance, Celtic manor is also 5* and offers 2 courses for £27, and many other places I’ve been where the food is just as good offer it for £20ish, but here doesn’t, service was greatly improved over my last visits and can’t fault the staff. Adding a 12.5% service change is a bit steep, it’s 5* so I’m already paying for a high level of service and didn’t feel anything I received was above what I would already expect.

    We had chosen the Welsh menu for my husband’s birthday, it was delicious. The crab cakes were so fresh and really tasty, the lamb - possibly the best I have tasted, and the bara brith bread pudding again delicious (although I didn’t feel it needed ice cream and creme anglais …. Just creme anglais would have been enough). Cipri who served us, was excellent. I liked the extra touches because we were celebrating.

    A nice venue, with a view across Cardiff Bay. It serves good food and service was OK. I found the seating, woven wicker style patio chairs, not to be the most comfortable, as they only have a seat cushion and they re designed to have a back rest cushion. (I know this because I have similar at home) The grinder cruet sets were quite new and I found that they were difficult to operate. My wife was unable use them at all. Other than that, we enjoyed our meal and left pleasantly full!

    Lovely restaurant overlooking the bar, nice outside seating if weather permits. Service was friendly and attentive. Had mussels with sea vegetables to start which was good but very salty, maybe soak the sea vegetables to expel some salt. Monkfish was excellent and cooked, seasoned perfectly. No room for dessert so ordered a macchiato coffee but received a cappuccino. Good wine list and reasonably priced, Bloody Mary could have been better as it lacked spice and served with too much ice making it watery.

    We were a family group of 7 - our table gave us panoramic views of Cardiff Bay, which was very welcomed. Superb, attentive service from the staff, lovely Christmas decorated table with crackers. Delicious food from the festive menu, good sized portions and well presented. We occupied the table for over 3 hours and never felt hurried to leave. A surprisingly, pleasant Christmas family occasion. Our thanks.

    Our views are:- A few things for you to note please:- 1. The main entrance to your hotel was spectacular. 2. When we were seated it took far too long to get served. After 20 minutes we only had water on the table! 3. The Indian guy who initially came to ask for our menu choice did not understand the items on the menu. He could not understand “Severn and Wye salmon” – which I understand may be difficult in their native tongue . He also incorrectly described the Pumpkin dinner because I asked him if the vine tomato sauce came in a small separate “boat” – he stated yes. I presume during induction these items are explained sufficiently? I think he needs more training. 4. I would like to give praise to Erin who looked after us yesterday at lunchtime in your main restaurant. She was attentive but not pushy, engaged with us and always delivered with a smile. 5. The food was just excellent, together with a wide range of wine provided us with a memorable afternoon – thanks. Overall we enjoyed the experience which might have been dire if it were not for Erin – please take time out to thank this excellent employee who is an asset to your organisation.
