I extended my holiday in Cardiff by a day to eat at Y Dosbarth and I was looking forward to the experience. They emailed me just before Noon on the day of my reservation to cancel because of “a technical issue in the kitchen”. When...I called to ask why they couldn't accommodate two people, I was told they had an event for 40 people to host and needed to cancel our reservation. Terrible business model.More

Although it was out of season (no students) the food and ambience was excellent. Scallops, ribs, steak, duck etc were all excellent. Good selection of wine and service very personable...

This is a superb restaurant with well presented and very tasty food, great service, and all that one would expect of a top class restaurant.

Second visit in as many months, both on a Friday but last night was quiet with only about 10 other people present. I tried to book on line the day before but it would only let me book for lunch so I had to book...by telephone. Madame and I both selected the same dishes, rather I waited for her to order then just doubled up. We chose our starter and main course over a chilled glass of Champagne which always goes down well in more ways than one. Our starter was a fishcake served with sweet salsa salad at £8 with the remainder of the Champagne giving it a taste of elegance. Madame stayed on the aquatic path for her main course and we both enjoyed the pan seared salmon with a saffron risotto rice base and parmesan crispy poppadom for £21 which tasted even better with the chilled bottle of Italian "La Battistona GAVI" D.O.C.G. at £28. Dessert was a poached rhubarb & vanilla custard tart with a rhubarb sorbet for £8 with Madame taking the sticky toffee pudding route. Coffee to finish and carriage at 9 p.m. Good views over the Cardiff area even though the location is in a commercial district.More

Located in the Cardiff and vale college on the 5th floor. Modern interior, airy. Nice views and sunset for dinner. Service by Eastern European waitress both robotic and curt. Food selection limited. Portion massive: all courses. Tuna tartar was good but on the tasteless side-...Under salted. The lamb was excellent- Came pink and would like it to be. Good accompaniment. Stick toffee massive portions and too much to finish- good dish. Variable cocktails- negroni. The apple martini was undrinkable. Good value for money for the size of the portions. Good option for dinner. Service could be a bit more Friendly, less judgmental and less Robotic.More

Stunning food and outstanding service. Whether it is the chefs cooking or a student takeover day, the level throughout all areas in the restaurant is hard to beat. This restaurant is up there among the best I have ever eaten at.

Had a lovely lunch here today with hubby for my birthday.Both had the 3 course menu & we were both happy with our choices.Well cooked & presented,served by our waitress Rox.We will be back & hope to try cocktails next time, we should have arrived...earlier to sample a few.Very nice setting away from bustle of town centre,competitive price & good value for quality produce.More

Lovely experience! Tasty food! Excellent service! Great choice on the menu! Highly recommend. We ate early after finding a parking space on Dumballs Rd. Was tricky. Give yourselves enough time if taking a car. Suggested to Tomas that he develop a #DyddSantesDwynwen themed menu for...2024. He was supportive and noted that majority of the produce is sourced from Wales. Students were excellent, so attentive and professional. Diolch yn fawr! Rhian. XMore

First time visit to ‘Y Dosbarth’ on a date night with my wife. Had starter/mains/dessert and a few mocktails. Food and service was excellent, really enjoyed the braised beef. A really good varied choice on the menu for the mains, beef, chicken, fish, veggie and...gluteb free options. All locally source, cooked to perfection, nicely presented and quick service. Presentation and front of house staff were very friendly, excellent service all night - think our waitress was Nikki - and she was very good. A lovely night, great settingbon the fifth floor, will pick a lunchtime visit next time. Great place to eat and you know the staff are learning the trade but we had full confidence in them - great job. DiolchMore

Had a lovely lunch with my family. Food was beautifully cooked and well presented, drinks were really good and made by student. Deserts were looking beautiful and tasting delicious. The menu has vegan/vegetarian options. Chefs were lovely and we enjoyed watching them cook in an...open kitchen. Experience 10/10. Would recommend to visit this restaurant.More

The food was wonderful, lots of taste, wonderfully presented. But we didn't come into contact with a student at all, instead we were served by a rather staid waiter. I have experienced Nant college and Rumney, where I found the students to be enthusiastic and...chatty about their course and experience. I would truly like to see the students let out of their glass cages, free to express themselves. Unfortunately, the advertised city view was probably best avoided.More

Well presented, delicious food, with a balanced and interesting menu. Attentive but unobtrusive service. Surprisingly well lit in the evening.
