On a date night, we popped in for some small plates to share with a glass of fizz. I've never been a fan of the hipster-themed dining experience but that's just personal preference. The place was very quiet for a Friday afternoon/evening and for some reason we were seated as far away from the door as was possible, right next to the window (lovely for people-watching on the Hayes) but also right next to the blinds' drawstring, and at some point a server came to pull the blinds down - we protested - and had to lean over my partner to reach. Anyway, apart from that the table was nice, service was quick. My partner has food intolerances and is a careful eater. We asked the server about their food and he wasn't certain, and had to go to the kitchen several times to check. Even when we thought he had it straight he kept coming back to check and recheck he understood our requirements, which is surely diligent but was bordering on fussy, and it became quite awkward for us, to the point we just said not to worry. We then had a manager come across to check again, and eventually managed to find three dishes from the gluten free menu which had neither soya or dairy in them. The food was decent, but the experience was uncomfortable. I can't fault the servers for triple-checking they had the info correct. I do wish it had taken maybe two or three trips to the kitchen fewer to establish the facts! Still, nice quiet meal, lovely view (when the blinds were up), a nice place to be for a couple of hours.

We had brunch & the food was amazing. I had a veggie breakfast and every item was hot & delicious. Same for the avo and eggs roll. The gluten free options were a stand out too, able to swap items to allow them to be served gf. I added beans to the breakfast to make it more of a 'full English' as an extra but for the price would expect these to be included. That's my only constructive feedback really as was an amazing breakfast for both dishes.

I had lunch today at the Waterloo Tea, I am Gluten and Wheat free, and the staff really looked after me, explaining the menu and options and assuring me gluton free was no problem, the poached eggs I had on toast were loverly, and I even tried there organic cola which was nice as well. Looking forward to taking my wife there for something to eat,please thank the staff who were on today for there helpful and caring ways.

beautiful restaurant lovely interior!! And ok service. However as a someone with celiac disease I was incredibly disappointed with the options for food - which weren’t just greens. I was so exited as they advertise for gluten free being really good, however the options were extremely limited… when phoning up they said they can make the chips gluten free however, the waiter told me they weren’t and they don’t change the frier, so it would be cross contamination. I think it was off putting as someone who can get extremely poorly with having gluten it didn’t seem as though they knew what to do with the information of being gluten free. We were also charged for water which we didn’t ask for originally: - I would just say if your gluten free you can only eat the salad of the 2 course menu which is £19.85. - we also did get charged £70 pound for a meal that was meant to be £48. Although the food for gluten free wasn’t great. All in all the restaurant itself was beautiful and such a lovely atmosphere- and there were some really helpful waiters who took pride in helping customers. But a beautiful building and very photographic

Great Gluten Free choices 👌

Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free menu. Food and coffee best small cafe in Cardiff!

Recently stayed at a Marriott hotel in Cardiff which was very pleasant but the breakfast experience was excellent. I am coeliac and asked Paula to help me with gluten free options. She was amazing and talked me through all the options and made sure I had everything I needed. She did it in a friendly way making me completely confident in what I was ordering. She went the extra mile. Paula is a real asset. Thank you Paula.

Had a fantastic experience at Ed’s Diner Cardiff this evening! Service was quick with piping hot and delicious food. The team were fantastic in regards to catering for a coeliac customer ordering from the gluten free menu. Nothing was ever too much trouble! A special thanks to Neil for going the extra mile!! Highly recommend a visit here☺️ Can’t wait to come back soon!!☺️☺️

James Hugglestone

Absolutely fantastic service from Jorja, friendly and helpful. As a celiac it's always awkward eating out, but our order was taken with no problems. The menu was straight forward and easy to navigate. Would definitely recommend to anyone with allergies.

I'm extremely disappointed in this restaurant. The quality of the food is not at level you would expect for the supposed calibre of the establishment. The food I must describe as 'subpar' and the service was inadequate. One example was my request for a simple diet coke 3 times. The drink finally arrived after 30 minutes. Two dishes were left uneaten due to the poor quality. It was clear that one of the sushi dishes were not fresh. My wife is celiac and cannot eat Gluten. When we enquired about their steaks being cooked, the response was quite a shock... "The meats are not prepares on site, they are marinated in their London restaurant and shipped to the Cardiff restaurant". I was utterly astounded by this comment. I have never know such a highly regarded restaurant to not prepare their ingredients fresh in their own kitchen. I find this appalling! Needless to say, we won't be visiting again.

Rhiannon Price

Such lovely staff. Our reservation (for the latest table they do) hadn't gone through, we were 15 minutes late - over running theatre- and they apologised to me that they might need to rush through the orders. They were then all chilled about choosing wines, didn't rush us at all, then custom adapted a dish for my food intolerance(gluten AND dairy free). Food was absolutely amazing. Really nice ambience. Awesome place!

Sam Winfield

I enjoyed the Belly Pork slow cooked. Absolutely fabulous. I am gluten intolerant and my meal was adapted to suit my dietary needs. Will definitely be visiting again.

Badger

The Sunday lunch was delicious. They could cater for gluten free more than the menu let's on, which was really helpful. The scotch egg was amazing to start, but the roast wasn't anything special. Really good experience though and will return next time we're in town

It wasn’t super busy when we came in. The coffee was great and they also had gluten free and vegan option. I almost tripped on the way in because I didn’t see the step. And toilet was a little confusing to me. I’ve never seen a handle that’s a lock at the same time. So it took me about a minute to figure out that it’s not broken but used to lock the door 😂 funky toilet paper that you can also buy in store.
