To get down to brass tacks, whilst the atmosphere and staff here are excellent and friendly, the food here - although really tasty and exquisite - doesn't come in regular portions.
After eating, you still feel hungry even after a main and a side. The real reason to come here is for the lunch menu, deals, and drinks.
Overall, a fantastic experience but be aware that the food is small for the price you pay; so come here for a special occasion.
P.S this place is dog friendly, not sure whether this means you have to go on the outside seating or not.
What an absolute gem!
It's been a long time since Cwmbran has had somewhere like Carro.
I'm back in Wales visiting family, I'm only back for a week, but I have been to Carro on two separate occasions.
The first night I had the Chicken, avocado and bacon salad... I don't know what the dressing was but it was delicious! Very well prepared, and worth every penny. Josh served me and my mum, he was very friendly and chatty, he's an asset to the restaurant.
The second night I cam with my cousins, and we shared two tapas trays. I will say, the tapas is quite small, and I recommend three dishes per person minimum... but wow! Patatas braves was outstanding, crispy on the outside, soft and almost like fondant potatoes. Beautiful! Everything was very flavourful, we couldn't get enough!
The decor is gorgeous and eclectic, the atmosphere is really warm and welcoming.
If I lived closer, I can imagine coming here to work at a table, having a spot of lunch, relaxing in the evening with friends and a glass of wine, or coming with my partner for a nice meal. It really is a great venue!
Good selection of food and drinks all reasonably priced, it was busy, had a short wait at the bar to order food and drinks which I had to do due to an allergy, food came quickly enough and was very nice. The staff were attentive but not over the top. Good place to go fir lunch, dinner or even just a drink. Will be returning soon.
Every time I step into this place, I'm met with a warm environment with genuinely lovely people serving you. The food is of a great quality, the drinks aren't just slapped together; pride is taken. You can lose track of time here and stay as long as you like. Its a special place that I hope never changes. The staff are helpful and considerate too.
My new regular for many years to come I hope.
Lovely cozy atmosphere in the Carro Lounge. The tapas dishes were very moorish and my wife thought the crispy chicken baguette was stunning. As this is a café / bar, you can also grab a cheeky cocktail in-between your shopping.
Awesome breakfast served with elderflower and watermelon drinks! Very tastey, can switch out anything ya want with another which allows you to customize your order. Friendly staff, quick service and all payment types accepted. Definitely will visit again! Very cosy atmosphere inside.
Had an amazing time at the Carro quiz tonight, Chloe was a brilliant quizmaster! Questions were really varied and it was loads of fun (I’m not biased because we won or anything…)
The cocktails and food were also great as always. Thanks so much Chloe 🥰
It's great to see more businesses open up in Cwmbran. The more businesses open, the more the economy grows in Cwmbran, the better it is for all of us. The food was delicious, the staff were great and the interior design blows my mind how they come up with these themes. Fingers crossed it'll get more support in the future to thrive, which hopefully be an advertisement for other businesses to claim their stake in downtown Cwmbran.
Was going to go weatherspoons...so glad we didn't, ended up here... authentic, cosy & good value for money..
The Food was delicious especially the burger 😋 will return 💯
I think this is the best place to go out for food and drinks in cwmbran! Amazing atmosphere, very tasty food, really polite service and not too expensive either. My new favorite place !
We love a lounge bar and we're so pleased one opened up in Cwmbran. Will definitely be returning as they are also dog friendly which is a massive bonus.
