The breading was delicious and they sprinkled chopped garlic on it with a touch of olive oil. The dipping sauce was amazing. The best entree for the night was Fish Parmentier, and it had a delicious white sauce that it was made with. The buttered mussels were good but could have used more chopped garlic. My 2 sons each ordered Beton Stew and they both were disappointed with the dish. I tried it too and the sauce wasn't great. My wife ordered the Beef Bouguignon and she was disappointed as well. It was the sauce again and she said the beef was over cooked and a bit stiff. My youngest ordered the Rib Eye with the béarnaise sauce. The steak could have been more tender and the béarnaise sauce was too bland and we definitely had better.

Situated in Mill Lane's 'Café Quarter', La Brasserie has long been a fashionable favourite amongst…read moreCardiff's café bar hang-outs. Inside, la Brasserie is kind of cosy but smart, with dark wooden furniture and jugs hanging from the beamed ceiling, and the menu offers European dishes with an emphasis on game and meat dishes. La Brasserie has a separate area outside called The Terrace, which is what this review is about. The Terrace is one of the many popular al fresco seating areas in this Mill Lane area of town, all of which get heaving with sun-seekers in the summer. It has a decent range of different wines, and its own separate menu with lunch from £7.95, including things like Caesar salad, grilled meat, and lighter bites - all tailored towards offering the type of food you want to eat when it's sunny. I've only eaten out at The Terrace (not inside La Brasserie), and the food there was pretty good, as was the wine - I'd recommend it for a lazy summer afternoon.

I came here for a works lunch, and it being the height of summer, we decided to bake outside at The Terrace. The best thing this place has going for its prime location for people watching. Admittedly, there aren't very many areas of Cardiff that beat Mill Lane for it. The food was sadly forgettable. I guess my hopes were set a bit high, but aren't everyone's? I, like Amanda, had barely finished my starter when the server came swooping around the corner with my main. The cuisine may be better in the main area of the restaurant, but to be honest, I'm not really in a hurry to find out.

Pudding selection definitely caught my eye - creme brûlée ice cream, banoffee cheesecake and profiteroles catching my eye the most. The waiter who served us was very friendly and wanted to ensure we enjoyed our meal. Having the building split into half bar half restaurant seemed really beneficial, as the bar was heaving and did create a positive vibe when walking through the door. Excellent cocktail choices too. Definitely will visit again.

Whilst we waited for our table to be prepared we were invited to the bar to get a drink. The bar area was busy and vibrant creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Once we were seated our waiter was friendly, courteous and well informed on all aspects of the menu. I of course ordered the steak with a bloody mary sauce which was a piece of heaven and the missus decided to go for the special which was smoked haddock with crushed potatoes and green beans. We both walked out of here very happy and will definitely be returning very, very soon.

We were seated in the bar area and I opted for what I thought was a glass of champagne but it turned out to be a champagne cocktail 'the classic'. Wasn't to my taste! But my mistake. They have no draft beers, but some bottled and a good selection of bottled ciders. We were then seated at a big round table - too big in my opinion cos I felt I needed to shout to everyone on it! The menu looked amazing. As French as you could possibly get so I was in heaven. The waitress then came over and told us half of it they didn't have! Bit naughty not to mention it on the website cos there was a lot missing. I chose the steak tartare to start, It was delicious! Fillet steak minced with pickles and mustard through it, it was quite fiery actually, I think there was quite a bit of Tabasco in it too but it really enhanced the dish. Wasn't sure about the raw egg yolk served on top but I was pleasantly surprised. I opted for a bottle of the Pinot noir which was nice and subtle, the more expensive of the wines at 30ish quid. But that was at the top of the price range on the wine list so quite reasonable really for all the wines ( it helped I wasn't paying too! ). For the main I went for the sirloin steak, served with fries and the best pepper sauce I have EVER tasted. Yes The Yeoman - it beat yours! (can't believe I just said that). I asked for it to be cooked rare but it was slightly overdone. Usually I would have sent it back but it was so tasty I didn't actually need to. Everyone else was thoroughly enjoying theirs too. For pudding I shared a cheese board and again was transported through those pearly white gates. The cheese's where magnific! Melt in your mouth blue, Brie to die for, a lovely smoked one which I thought I wouldn't like. Yum. Yum. YUM! My friends chose the baked Alaska which was flambé'd at the table, it looked amazeballs. We all left stuffed and giddy. It was a real treat, I highly recommend for a extremely pleasant evening out. Thankyou Jane and Keith!

Jj's Brasserie, Weston Super Mare…read more So once you get past all the chav's, the beeping of arcade machines, and the overexcited (over sugar fed) children (usually on excessive amounts of candy floss), you can find yourself some nice little eateries on the side streets of good old Weston. The landlady of the b&b we stayed at recommended this French place so we felt sure that, given she was a local, she would know what she was talking about. The front of house gentleman was indeed a gentleman. He was attentive, friendly, down to earth, and made us feel very welcome. To start we shared warm bread with a good quality, flavorsome olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Perfect to wet the whistle! The boy was really pleased with his sirloin steak (priced at £14.95) and said it was cooked perfectly. His chips were incredibly chunky and in my view, real steak chips. His English mustard was served to him on an amuse bouche spoon.. A nice little touch. My paella (again £14.95) was presented beautifully. It was filled with meat and seafood so had plenty going on texture-wise. My only complaint would be that it needed slightly more seasoning and maybe a good squeeze of lemon, but other than that it was really rather enjoyable.  I washed my meal down with a large bottle of sparkling San Pellogrino as I didnt fancy alcohol. This was served to me nice and cold; something so simple that so many eateries get wrong. The boy washed his steak down with a pint of Somerset's very own, Thatchers Gold. How very apt, given that we were in Somerset. :-) A really pleasant evening.
