Tafarn Y Gader: Reviews & Ratings
Had a lovely night here, staff were excellent, friendly and quick, without feeling at all rushed. Food was fantastic, a good combination of tapas style dishes,with a couple of twists thrown in (the Welsh lamb parcel was very tasty indeed). If you are in the area I would definitely suggest heading here.
We came here as a table of four and we were absolutely thrilled with the level of service and quality of food. I simply cannot recommend this place enough. Book in advance, as this place gets busy for a good reason
Had a great meal, served quickly and staff were friendly. The cheese bites with chutney are exceptional and the squid rings are some of the best. The sangria had too much lemonade in it but was still enjoyable. We ordered too much but were given a takeaway box for the leftovers which was nice.
We found this place through google reviews and were not disappointed. It's an award winning restaurant for reason. The atmosphere is great and meals are freshly prepared with good quality seafood. We were a group of 5 and they were kind enough to accept a reservation on the day. Lovely Spanish food and wine. Would recommend everything we had - Paella, prawns, squid/calamari and desserts. Free parking less than 5mins from restaurant.
Warm and welcoming staff. Tasty, authentic tapas food in good sized portions. Reservation is a must. Would definitely return if in the area again
Eating early, on my own, I was a bit hesitant. However, the staff were just lovely and gave me a great table looking out onto the street. The house white wine was perfectly chilled and tasted good, the olives flavourful. I had patatas bravas and a mushroom and prawn croquette - they were both delicious. This place is definitely worth a visit - highly recommended.
Wonderful food, great service. I cannot recommend highly enough.
Just had 5 delightful tapas dishes and 2 deserts between me and my partner, each dish was superb and the staff are all very friendly. Shame I don’t live in the area else I’d be back every weekend! Highly recommend if in the area,
