Boo’s Kitchen (mumbles Cafe)

Gilligan's

Carte • Fish • Vegan • British • Vegetarian

"I’d not heard of Gilligan’s before but some friends suggested it. Gluten free options are not marked on the menu but the manager came over and went through them several fish and veggie options (no meat ones on our visit which wasn’t a problem for us). All three course were spectacular. Best food I’ve eaten out for ages. Plus it’s BYO. (Note BYO alcohol only not soft drinks we made a mistake so designated driver mistakenly brought their own but had to buy from the bar not a problem). Service was good. Would definitely go back."

Cha-ty

➤ 44 Newton Road, SA3 4BQ, Swansea, United Kingdom

Carte • Sushi • Asian • Coffee • Japanese

---

"If you're looking for an authentic taste of Japan, Cha-ty will remind you of true Japanese cuisine, and that it's possible to enjoy the tastes and flavours of Japanese food in the UK, without breaking the bank. Lunch is excellent value for money, and I enjoyed a spicy vegetable curry with rice. You can also enjoy iced coffee without sugar or syrup. The Japanese owner of Cha-ty bakes her own delicious cakes, again a true taste of Japanese sweets and cakes. Having lived in Japan for 15 years I can vouch for the authenticity of the Japanese flavours and tastes of this cafe. So if you're missing Japanese style cuisine head over to Cha-ty in the Mumbles, South Wales."

Dario's

Carte • Pasta • Italian • Campania • Neapolitan

"I had an excellent meal for my birthday! We dined in for dinner and the price per person was around £20–30. The food and service both received a perfect score of 5, while the atmosphere was rated 4. I highly recommend the Garlic Mushrooms and Garlic Bread, along with the Mushroom Sauce and the Fish with King Prawns and Garlic. Parking was a bit challenging to find, but there are free street parking options available."

"I've eaten here a few times with my partner and always been blown away by the food, so for my birthday this year I thought I'd arrange a meal with some friends to share the deliciousness with loved ones. Big mistake. The restaurant clearly don't want to cater for large parties (there were 12 adults and 4 kids in our group . We booked an early table at 5pm to make this easier for the restaurant and free up the space for evening diners. From the moment of our arrival we were treated with utter contempt, bits of our order never turned up, drinks took ages to arrive. When it came to leaving, we were told we had underpaid by £25 but previously the waitress had said we had completely covered before I'd even paid my portion so the £25 I paid for my meal was essential the tip (way more than 10% . The hostile manager wouldn't let us leave and insisted we pay the missing money plus a tip. After we left we checked all our receipts (though most of us paid in cash , added them up and saw we had indeed been swindled. I am genuinely devastated because I have loved eating here until this point, but I won't be going back because of the way we were treated. If you are a solo diner or couple then please do visit because the food is absolutely out of this world, but if you are a large party please avoid the awful experience I was unfortunate to have at the hands of such a grumpy man completely devoid of human kindness (who really shouldn't be front of house ."

Bluebell Coffee Kitchen

➤ 17-18 Carnglas Road, SA2 9BL, Swansea, United Kingdom

Carte • Coffee • British • Catering • Breakfast

"We ordered two breakfasts, but one was incorrect upon arrival. Despite this, we were willing to accept both, but unfortunately one was dropped on the floor. Only one breakfast was given to us, without any apology or acknowledgment of the missing one. After a few minutes, the waitress returned to ask for our egg preferences for the second breakfast and apologized for the mishap. It then took about 30 minutes for the second breakfast to be served. The waitress did apologize again during this time and even offered us a cake for the inconvenience. However, after waiting an additional 30 minutes since the first breakfast arrived, we had to leave as we had other commitments for the day. When we inquired about a refund, the second breakfast was finally ready, but due to the timing, it had to be packed in a takeaway box. Despite this, we found that the three front-of-house waitresses were all pleasant and polite."
