Customer Reviews for The Armless Dragon - Cardiff
A Little Pearl - review added on Tue 27th Nov 2001
I have been going to this restaurant on and off for about 5 years now. Having eaten in most of the rated restaurants in the UK, and a few across europe, I must say that it genuinely compares very well. The menu has a very good selection of seasonal fare with fish being a particular speciality (Sewin being a personal favorite). Although the wine list lacks depth the cellar is generally well stocked with good French and New World favorites. Another attractive feature is the way in which the menu attempts, and generally suceeds, with adding a bit of Cymric flavour. Very reasonably priced with friendly staff its a nice place to go prior to an evening out in Cardiff.
Recommended Dishes: Fish/Shellfish is very good and imaginative

All change - review added on Sun 16th May 2004
After a ten year absence was looking forward to more large helpings of tasty and superbly cooked Welsh fare. Sadly I was disapointed by tough Brecon lamb and tiny portions of vegetables. Some may appreciate the new and "modern"decor but for me it has lost it's value for money and laid back ambiance
Poor Lunch - review added on Wed 19th May 2004
Will not go again, the service was the poorest we have experienced across South Wales Restaurants/Pubs. The food and presentation did not measure up to its reputation of serving traditionl Welsh cuisine

Good value and nice atmosphere - review added on Mon 15th Nov 2004
Elisabeth and I went to the Armless Dragon on a recent visit to Cardiff. The cuisine which had been recommended lived up to its reputation and I liked the way in which it was presented - slate table mats and a blackboard menu. The halibut was excellent and the lamb which masqueraded as duck - our gain and the other tables loss was a pleasant suprise - just as friendly and welcoming as Cardiff overall !
