An interesting Italian restaurant with good food and a building which is made almost completely out…read moreof glass (gifting all patrons with a fantastic view of Mumbles Bay), it's therefore hardly surprising that Verdi's is so popular! Despite there always being a hub of activity going on at this establishment (due to the fact it's always packed), you just can't help feeling chilled out (maybe it's being so close to the sea?). They offer plenty of free newspapers and magazines for you to peruse over whilst waiting for your food, additionally you're made to feel welcome whether you're just having a coffee, ice cream or full blown meal. The food available is generally light (I'd definitely consider this place to be more of a café than a restaurant). The menu offers pizza, small pasta dishes, salads and a variety of Panini's, sandwiches and baguettes (which come with salad and crisps), all of which taste good and are well presented. It is the deserts however which are simply to die for! Sure the ice creams nice, but once you look at some of the cakes under the counter glass it'll be rather hard to resist (just don't think about the calories)! Verdi's doesn't take bookings, and even as early as March it can become very popular on the weekends. Best advice is to come as early as possible, but be prepared for a wait, which I can honestly say is well worth it!

Great coffee, great location on the sea front. As we're…read moregetting older and I have relatives who find it difficult to get around I find Verdi's is very convenient and easy to access with relatives in wheel chairs. Great to take a coffee, nice cake or a light lunch while walking them along the promenade in a wheel chair.

We have been coming to Patrick's since it first opened on the sea front in Mumbles in the early…read more1990s. The food is excellent and although not cheap is well worth the price. As far as possible the produce is sourced locally and the meals are simply delicious. The lunchtime menu at £9.95 includes two favourites of mine, the grilled fillet of sea bream and the grilled salmon fillet, which are both (and please trust me on this) excellent! The main menu is a little pricey so this is a place to come for a special meal- a birthday celebration perhaps? Patrick's also has 16 ensuite sea view rooms at £130 per night so if you want a special night away this is the place to stay! A recent addition is the Lounge Bar where aside from just enjoying a drink, reasonably priced savoury snacks are available or if you have a sweet tooth scrumptious desserts are also on offer!

It's one of the best places in Swansea to come if you're looking for a good-looking restaurant that does modern mostly European cuisine in a fairly imaginative way. I think when I came, I had duck with strawberries, which I remember being totally lush. The decor is pretty swish, very modern, trendy and cool. The prices are at the higher end of what you'd expect to pay in Wales' second largest city. As with many places in Mumbles, some great views if you're by the window on a nice day.

The place is is located a 15 minute walk from the center of town - unless it is cold, windy or rainy (never happens in Wales right?!) a very pleasant walk to enjoy the views and the fresh hour. However don't feel obliged to park in town and walk if you don't want to as there is ample parking by the pier based on our experience. The restaurant is clean and has both inside and outside seating with prompt and friendly service. A playerless piano plays music for you while you dine. Walk through a door after breakfast and there you are in an extensive amusement arcade - fun! And then there is the pier itself with its views and bracing fresh air. Another option is to climb some steps up to a cliffs above (behind the cafe) from which you can enjoy further views. Fun place to visit!!

The bikini clad Mumbles Pier Ape Lady was late for date - didn't realise she was tied up at the end…read moreof the Pier. Waiting, had time to look at the menu for the Pier Cafe (http://www.mumbles-pier.co.uk/pier/menu.pdf ) and gaze around the ornate Cafe interior - chandaliers, polished wood floors and tasteful wicker chairs. Wonderful views over Swansea Bay from the huge windows - light and airy feel inside. Cheerful little tables outside for warmer weather or hardy smokers. Plenty of choice on menu along with pretty Ice Cream & Soda Bar to lure the young ones (if they actually need any luring when ice cream is mentioned - but the Bar just makes sure). Highly recommended, especially in colder months if just paid 50p to brave the Pier extremeties (perhaps to visit the Ape Lady ) and need a warming liquid and nourishment reviver.

We were beyond pleased that this restaurant popped up on our map and that there was about an hour before closing. The restaurant location is beautiful and overlooks Bracelet Bay which on this occassion was lit up by a bright full moon. We dined on: - Pasta Bolognese - Luciana Pizza - Pepperoni Passione Everything was tasty and filling. We ordered a chocolate brownie to go. Yes -- our Welsh friends cringed slightly when we did that. The food was even delicious the next day. We even made a mental note that we want to come back at a different time of day and eat there again. Not being from the area, we found everything to be reasonably priced for a pretty Italian restaurant. It was the perfect way to end a meal with new and old friends. If you are in the area, definitely check it out.

Much, much nicer than the Salt in Cardiff Bay! As a student whenever my parents came down to visit…read moreme I always tended to drag them down to Salt (had to get that free meal). Whether or not you're having their Sea Bass or something lighter like their deli filled breads, the food is always in my opinion excellent, and very well presented! The décor definitely has a seaside feel which comes across as tasteful rather than tacky (the impression I get in the Cardiff branch), and on a sunny day I'd really recommend getting a table on their balcony. There is however one major problem with Salt, and that is the amount of time you have to wait for food. I have eaten at this establishment on numerous occasions, and despite having complained this issue has yet to be addressed! If it wasn't for the fact that I really enjoy the food and atmosphere at Salt, I'm pretty certain I wouldn't come back. What further aggravates is that the staff hardly ever appear to be apologetic, and even when there's only one other table occupied, claim that the kitchen has a long queue. So unfortunately I'd only recommend Salt if you have plenty of time on your hands!

Yallops is in a nutshell the best of a bad bunch! Their Fish and Chips are ok, but I've had far superior in Cardiff. Additionally what really annoys me is the price; it costs about £7 for Fish and Chips, fair enough in a restaurant (where you've got things like table service to consider), but for a takeaway? Ridiculous! Finally even when there's no queue, there is often a wait time. Argh! I will live in hope that one day I'll find the perfect Fish and Chips takeaway in Swansea, in the meantime I'll have to settle for Yallops!
