Amazing GF pho! Very knowledgeable staff and great service!

Fi Hamilton

So happy we found the Juno Lounge while visiting Cardiff. We ate 3 meals there in 2 days! Great options for celiac and other dietary restrictions. Everything was delicious (curry bowl and brisket chili were highlights). Fun vibe and friendly staff. Thanks for the wonderful meals!

Shaun Hughes

The food was amazing. The resturant was clean, a lovely atmosphere and caters for gluten free. The staff were lovely and professional, thank you to Aron for suggesting what I could eat due to a gluten allergy. I definitely recommend this resturant

Our first time visiting here, staff were friendly and as we arrived a lot early for our booking we sat outside and ordered drinks. A table became available and so we were seated quickly. Unfortunately only one cider was gluten free which was no good for myself. Food on the other hand had several gluten free options which meant I had plenty of choice. The food came and tasted amazing and I will definitely be visiting again I just really hope there's more choice for beer for those with celiac disease. My other criticism is staff were so busy trying to get you to pay to leave so they could free up the table and neglected to show you the card machine screen so you could double check the bill was correct apart from that it was a great experience.

As with many Lounges this is a must visit! They have an extensive gluten free menu. The staff here are extremely friendly and helpful. Always order at the bar to ensure they can put it through as an allergy order.

Finally got to visit on a quieter day. Fantastic food, such great flavours. And gluten free friendly

Ruth Strange

Vicki Rowe

Absolutely fantastic experience at Bill's in Cardiff Bay. We turned up without a reservation and despite the place being quite busy, we were seated promptly and drinks orders taken quickly. I'm Coeliac which means boring gluten free dining, but in Bill's there is a whole gf menu so I didn't feel left out. I had the Fish Pie and Banoffee Sundae, both of which were different from usual gf options. They also did a gf IPA which I wasn't very keen on but nice to have the option. We were served by Gabriel. He's an absolute treasure. If you're gf, you should deffo give the place a try!

Emmanuel

The food was delicious and lived up to what we remembered from our previous visit. We felt, however, that it wasn’t hot. Joel and Tosin really looked after us. The fact that Joel took the time to come over and go through the gluten free menu and reassured my fiancé, was really appreciated and showed excellent customer service. Fantastic!"

Cody Massey

Vicky, our host was really attentive and a great help. We loved the food, and we're happy as well with the gluten free options. Nomnom. Please give Vicky a raise.

Nicola Lowther

Great food. Fab gluten free options and didn't feel like I was missing out on any options. Friendly service. Will definitely be back.

Amazing gluten free food

We ate there last Wednesday - the food was very nice and the service was very good. Mario and the kitchen team paid attention to my colleague's complex allergies and made a meal that was adapted for her. There are lots of chain restaurants in the Bay, but we came here because when I was phoning around to see who could take a group of 12 and handle one person's allergies respectfully without making her look demanding in front of new colleagues, Mario answered the phone and demonstrated what professional customer service should look like. He knew immediately what Cote's team would be able to do and didn't over-promise but gave me confidence that my colleague would not be left hungrily watching people eat and would not be made to feel bad for having allergies. I had been unpleasantly surprised that other restaurants did not respond as kindly as Mario. My colleague said Cote are usually pretty good, including a good gluten free menu. The food was well presented and well seasoned and the other staff were attentive too. Bottled water was a bit pricey. The restaurant was easily accessible for my colleague who cannot use stairs as it is quite well spaced out and flat.

Dawn Gwilliam

Ate here for the first time today (Saturday 22nd Feb 2025) the restaurant was clean, staff were very helpful and the Gluten Free Menu was very good. Recommend

Becca Milner

Placed an order for collection, which included mainly gluten free items. One item included in the order was not gluten free, so the restaurant (specifically Ivo) contacted me by phone to check I was aware of this because he had noticed my order was mainly gluten free. I cannot thank Ivo enough for doing this, and when I arrived at the restaurant to collect my order, Ivo explained the lengths he had gone to to check this before calling me. Thank you Ivo, it really does make a difference for people who require these dietary options for medical reasons to feel like it is being taken seriously and checked. Also helps that the food was great as well! Will definitely go here again the next time we are in Cardiff!

Lovely place - mangers were extra helpful with my friends celiac and dairy intolerance, the bottomless brunch is not one too miss - From tequila girls

david pope

Maddison was so lovely and very helpful with my gluten sensitivity throughout our meal, thank you! We had a great time

Tim Lyttle

Fantastic service. Delivered 16 portions of fish and chips exactly at the time required and nice and hot. Gluten Free option appreciated. Very tasty!

Jordan Richards

Love this place. I'm a coeliac and feel really comfortable eating here. The food is always really tasty as well.

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.

Jess HY

Great evening, and fab food. Catered for both vegan and Gluten Free very well. Our waiter Fernando was amazing too, super attentive and fab service

Matthew Greenaway

They managed to squeeze us in despite being fully booked, which I appreciate. Really good gluten free pizza (tasted like a proper pizza!). The kids buffet is good value and a nice experience.

Gillian Collins

Excellent service, great food, good location, friendly staff. Children's menu. Also Gluten free available!

Matthew Batten

Good vegan and gluten-free choices. Staff are always friendly.

Tracy Abson

Great Gluten Free choices 👌

Mike Jones

Beautifully cooked food and also catered without fuss for both mine and my sons gluten intolerance from a seperate, clearly labelled menu.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Service & Welcoming Atmosphere at Hodo Lounge! I visited Hodo Lounge last night with my partner, four friends, and two dogs, and we had an absolutely wonderful time! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, but what really made the experience stand out was the incredible service from Ryan behind the bar. I have a severe banana allergy, and one of my friends has celiac disease, so we’re always cautious when dining out. Ryan was exceptionally attentive to our dietary restrictions, ensuring we felt comfortable and safe while also being genuinely friendly and easy to chat with. I ordered the standard Lounge Brunch without tomatoes, and Ryan went the extra mile by offering to swap them for something else. I chose mushrooms for my partner, which was a thoughtful touch. I also ordered the large Lounge Brunch for myself with the same adjustment and got an extra hash brown instead—small details like this make a big difference! For drinks, my partner had a Diet Coke while I ordered a Daceri Nolarder (alcohol-free). Two of my friends also got the same drink and really enjoyed it, but I found it wasn’t quite to my taste. When Ryan checked in with us after a few minutes, I mentioned this, and without hesitation, he asked if there was something else I’d prefer. I requested a peppermint tea, and to my surprise, he brought it out free of charge—a really kind and thoughtful gesture. Beyond the excellent service, the food was great, the atmosphere was relaxed, and we all felt incredibly welcome—including the dogs! It’s rare to find staff who not only accommodate dietary needs so attentively but also go out of their way to make sure every guest has a fantastic experience. We’re already looking forward to coming back, and we’ll definitely be recommending Hodo Lounge—especially thanks to Ryan’s outstanding hospitality.

Michael Carlson

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.

Katrina Stanley

Everyone was amazing and fully accommodated for my mum's various dietary requirements. The gluten free pasta was amazing!

Samira A-M

Fantastic food and service every time. Great for those with gluten and dairy allergies/intolerances. The buddha salad and turmeric latte are 10/10.

Lucy Sebburn

Amazing food, great hospitality and an all round lovely Greek experience. Will definitely be returning. Catered to mums gluten free really well, knew exactly what to do.

Danni Borg

Had two meals at the travelers rest and both were delicious! Also happy it caters for celiacs as my daughter is one and she can eat here

Sally Jones

Lovely vibe here, with plenty of staff: busy but not overcrowded. Sunday lunch is superb. Anna, our waitress, was so engaging and genuinely interested in her job. Gluten free options were clearly explained and every effort had been made to adapt items by changing coatings rather than just 'leaving things out'. Fishcakes were tasty with mild curry sauce. The lamb roast was perfect size and cooked to perfection (rare lamb, just as it should be). Divine roast potatoes... Lemon posset dessert was tangy with British strawberries. This is a top notch restaurant in a trendy location, fabulous friendly service and very moderate prices. Will def. be back.

Alanah Moulsdale

Gluten free menu available. The manager takes the order for people with allergies/coeliac disease so they take allergies very seriously here. I usually order a ramen with rice noodles and the broth is full of flavour.

Jane Jones

The experience was nice, however the gluten free version was not gluten free, as a Ceolic this makes us very ill. Would not recommend.

Tim Williams

Amazing food, great service and fantastic choice of food. Also my wife is gluten free and the choice is amazing.

Cheryle Cawley

Lunchtime today we were a party of 14 celebrating 3 70th birthdays. Kacie, our waitress was very patient and understanding, taking extra care with the gluten free meal. She was very pleasant, friendly and patient with such a large group. The restaurant was quiet so we stayed at the table for well over the 2 hour slot allocated. At the end of the meal a special dessert with a candle was served. There was no mention of 70th birthdays when I booked so Kacie must have realised when we sang Happy birthday. Thank you Kacie - highly recommend your waitressing skills

Andrew Taylor

After a really stressful time looking around Cardiff for Gluten Free food, we checked out Rosa's. The staff member went above and beyond for us to ensure the meal was suitable for someone who suffers celliac disease. Recommended for a tasty meal and people who actually care about their customers.

Sara Hawkley

Here and their sister site the Humble Onion are our go to places. Fantastic quality food, great attentive service and a fantastic selection of wine. My partner is coeliac and we always know there are options suitable for him and that everything had been prepared safely. Can't recommend enough! Great job to all of the team who look after us!

Alena Dostalova

Absolutely stunning food, so tasty, well cooked and the variety was amazing. We had vegan, gluten free and meat eaters and everyone was very happy!!! Thank you x

Sally Jones

Wonderful tapas lunch with plenty of gluten free options. Staff very helpful and friendly. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the 'fish of the day' a simple dish with oil/herbs rather than in batter which excludes coeliac. We loved the Artichoke and Boquerone dishes in particular.

Chloe Rogers

Ffion was such a good server!! Will absolutely love her to serve us again, so friendly and quick with service. Very friendly and understanding on my gluten intolerance. Thank you for making my birthday special!

Ben Northmore

Not amazing, came here for my birthday on recommendation from a friend. We turned up and waited around for 10 mins until someone came to seat us. Despite plenty of tables empty, we were seated very close to others. That's probably more on the weird configuration of tables than anything else. We ordered tea. It was a vegan afternoon tea for two but they brought dairy milk so good that we double checked when it arrived. Food came out afterwards - sandwiches, scones with butter and jam, a selection of cakes. Sandwiches were good: mustard and ham, notzerella and chutney, cucumber and cream cheeze. Scones were ok, small but that's fine, very clearly gluten free. Unfortunately GF options tend to be very different in taste and texture, and for my partner and I, we really dislike it. It was poorly advertised as GF. We ate 1 of the 2 scones each and left the other. Ok fine so on to the cakes - both of us took a bite out of each and stopped as they were all gluten free. Strangely nobody came and checked on us in the hour we were there, and we had to go flag someone down to actually get the bill afterwards. The waiter asked us how it was - we were honest and said not really what we expected. At £20 each it's not on the cheaper side of afternoon teas. The explanation didn't really make sense that they couldn't have a vegan and GF option as they'd then need to then stock more variety. No apology offered even that we didn't enjoy it. Wouldn't be going back, or recommending and we actually skipped the spa there we had planned in case it was equally disappointing.

Janet Hopkins

Cater for Gluten Free. Food superb but could have been warmer

James Davies

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.

Matteo Forconi

The place was really nice and cozy. The service was impeccable. My girlfriend is celiac and the person who took the order paid a lot of attention to explaining us the allergens of all the dishes. He also took great care of any gluten contaminations. The food was delicious and the price really good.

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!

Susan Cooper

We really enjoyed the 60th Wedding Anniversary evening of Ray and Sue Elford at Terra Nova last night. Jan worked very hard making sure everyone had Prosecco and I would really like to thank her for making me a special gluten free pizza. Thank you Jan the pizza was delicious. Regards Sue Cooper
