Among the floating delights you have in store are drinking cider at The Apple, dancing at Thekla and eating at Glass Boat. This small but elegant restaurant has beautiful views of the Welsh Back which are evening more stunning in the evening. Perfect for romantic meals or special occasions this restaurant will not disappoint. An evening at the floating restaurant doesn't come cheap, but it's certainly worth the hefty price tag. The food, the service and the views are some of the best you'll find in Bristol. A unique and unforgettable dining experience.

Who would've known that such an excellent restaurant was on the top floor of Cardiff and Vale…read moreCollege? My husband and I came here for a meal on a Saturday night, booking in advance and we both really enjoyed ourselves! BACKGROUND: The Classroom is led by a very experienced head chef and they train those studying culinary and hospitality at Cardiff and Vale College to help students get valuable work experience, which I'm happy to support! They also hold occasional cookery classes for the general public that you can book. All in all, the idea behind this restaurant is excellent! ATMOSPHERE: As its on the top floor (floor 5) of the Cardiff and Vale College building, the atmosphere is great. Open kitchen for you to see inside as the chefs prepare along with large glass windows for excellent views. The chairs are comfortable and it really models modern European fine dining! CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! The waiting staff manager has worked in a Michelin starred restaurant before so he definitely knows his hospitality. We were greeted promptly with our coats taken and never had to flag down anyone for attention. Our meals arrived quickly as well and it was an extremely efficient service! FOOD: The food here at The Classroom is on a seasonal menu, so if you visit you probably won't be having the same stuff as me, but everything I had was delicious! ~ Starter: Smoked Haddock & Shellfish Chowder with Parsley Oil (£6.95) An excellent start to the meal. I love Smoked Haddock and this chowder had excellent flavours and tasted like the sea. There was a generous amount of haddock as well which I was pleased about and the parsley made for a well balanced finish. ~ Main: Glazed Jacobs Ladder, potato terrine, carrot purée, roasted white asparagus and Italian peas, crispy silver skin onions, red wine jus (£19.95) Really good! The beef was cooked perfectly and was extremely tender and fell off the bone. The carrot puree was extremely creamy and delicious and the onions packed a flavourful punch. My only complaint about this dish is I felt it could have done with a tad extra seasoning as the jus was a little bland but there was salt at the table so it was an easy fix. ~ Dessert: Stuffed baked apple, spiced mascarpone mousse (£5.95) The baked apple was stuffed with what I think was minced meat, and baked with a caramelised outside. Very delicious and the spices they used were fantastic! I especially loved the mascarpone mousse as I'm a huge fan of mascarpone. --- Overall, I would definitely recommend The Classroom to anyone. The prices aren't completely out of this world for a special occasion and my husband and I both loved what we had. I will definitely be back in the Summer to see what their Summer menu would bring!

The dishes were all interesting and beautifully presented. My only request would be a bit more time between courses. They come quickly. Our server was pleasant and friendly, and she remained so even after the restaurant became busy. She was working hard, but always remained kind and helpful. The restaurant is casual, but also upscale. We are visitors to Cardiff. Heaney's could be a successful restaurant in California Wine County. It has the same rustic chic vibe. My only request would be different "music." The thumping house music felt out of step with the food and became tiresome. Overall, I would recommend Heaney's to anyone who enjoys the adventure of a tasting menu. It was well worth the visit.

Please enjoy their food for us! We sat inside but I believe you may have the option to sit on the covered patio. The dishes came out at a good pace. I don't know how to rate the dishes as everything tasted so good. We started with the oysters and ended with dessert and a cheese plate. Everything in between was just delicious.

Flinty Red will survive though, I think. Corks of Cotham, the nearby independent wine merchants (also well worth a visit) are behind this restaurant, with the focus being on getting the perfect bottle to complement your meal. They're passionate about wine here and will take the time and effort to make sure you get something you're happy with. The food's French and Spanish influeced and very much made to match the wine list (which with 100 choices really is comprehensive). The food is well sourced, with plenty of care and attention put in. Whilst you might end up spending a pretty penny of wine the food is reasonably priced, which means you can feel a bit less guilty for spending so much on drink. Not to busy at the moment, but still a decent atmosphere. Head here especially if you're a wine afficienado, but even if you're not.

Papadeli is the sort of delicatessen which is designed for the serious foodie. They have shelves…read moreand shelves of everything to turn your basic dinner into a culinary delight including oils, sauces, vinegars, spices and herbs. The staff know their stuff, so if you need help they're happily at hand to ask. The prices are very high, reflecting the quality of their produce and their Clifton location. If, like me, you're on a budget, I'd recommend the Cotham Hill Bakery or Chandos Deli instead. But if you've got money to burn, then this is the place to shop away before a dinner party.

Papadeli is a high end delicatessen on a side street off Whiteladies road. Spanning over two shop…read morepremises, it's got a very Cliftonite vibe to it. They're very well stocked, with food items ranging from starter products, or 'antipasti' as they call it (there's a bit of an Italian theme here) to the full selection of cooked meats. Along with this, there's shelves and shelves of pastas, oils, drinks and beverages, jams, vinegars - the list goes on. The staff know their stuff and clearly love food - they'll give their honest opinion on any of the items. Indeed, the whole shop bases itself on food knowledge- they market their products on the strength of what they go well with - they'll let you know that a particular cheese matches a particular type of meat, for example. It's all quite impressive, but the price tags turned me away. A bit like Chandos Delis (though perhaps a little more unique), an excellent food shop if you've got the budget to match their prices.

I had spotted the pavement blackboard that advertised a posh 2-course lunchtime special outside this strikingly beautiful old building, and in I went. It was delicious - rare beef and black pud on fresh peppery salad leaves, then summer pudding. Mmmmm. Next work trip, I returned for an evening meal. My partner was mightily impressed with the historical (1300s?) surroundings, a tastefully preserved medieval guild hall, with twisty staircases and huge fireplaces. The clientele were well-heeled locals, as this place is not cheap, and is clearly a special occasion eating destination. The wines were good, but the beers were even better, with local ales such as Shropshire Lad available. The food was tasty and presented in the fashionable "Masterchef " style. The friendly Danish waiter showed us the upper floor which has been converted into hotel rooms - again, stylish but pricey. Definitely worth a visit, a stunning building, a luxurious dining experience, and If your wallet can cope, a classy bed and breakfast.

The service was slow, apparently because the bar was busy and they were under staffed but when paying this much you don't really expect excuses. The maître d' (or at least we assume that's what he was) seemed to always say the wrong thing (he totally confused us about when they were going to serve our wine; how hard can it be, and asked how our food was when we were still waiting to be served!). He just made us feel uncomfortable, which the chairs also did, because they are too low and because of the antique table it was impossible to pull them in far enough to get comfy. It was overpriced; if charging £64 for a Chateaubriand you would expect it to be carved at the table, otherwise it just looks like a very expensive roast! To top it all off, the table next to us complained (very politely) and we had to listen to the maître d' say they wouldn't get anything off their bill because "management were too busy doing what management do" and that it was the rest of the teams' fault (we actually felt the other waiters were doing the best they could)!!! All that said, it is a shame as the food was actually nice (although overpriced). Everything was done well and the cheese board contained a few pleasant surprises.
