Just a quick note to say that No. 5 is a really great addition to the Pontcanna food scene, offering something a little different - more low key, but with a focus on great quality dishes. Went for dinner a few weeks back (there's a lovely intimate atmosphere) and just had breakfast there this morning, and it really is very good.
I'm looking forward to doing a better review with pictures for our next visit.
Update 28 April 2024
We decided to try No. 5 Pontcanna for Sunday lunch and, having tried and tested and accumulated a fair few favourites in and around Cardiff, I've got to say this didn't disappoint. On the contrary everything about the experience was spot on. Kudos to the staff, who were pleasant, receptive and quick to please. The kitchen too, were on-point. Good ingredients and really great flavours. And there was a really great atmosphere. A perfect Sunday afternoon lunch.
Hope they do well. Lunch time specials was good simple food, done very well. No pretentiousness to the food or price. Look forward to a breakfast / brunch visit. Best of luck to the owners.
We would give this restaurant 6 stars if we could!! We had excellent meals here and were treated really well. The customer service was excellent and my partner has to follow a gluten free and vegetarian diet and we were very impressed when the chef came to the table to discuss suitable options. It was Sunday lunch time, and I had the lamb Sunday roast with king prawns for starters. We both loved our meals and have recommended this restaurant to our friends and family. The one thing that we didn't like was that a service charge was automatically added to our bill. We would have left a tip anyway but don't like it being presumed that we will do so. We would also have decided the amount for ourselves.
