Great food, great service. Definitely my top pick for dinner or lunch when I'm in Cardiff.
My partner and I had a lovely evening meal here. Felt like real authentic spanish food and service was quick. No fuss was made about our allergies either which was great! Vegan and vegetarian dishes available. Good central location and good value. Thanks!
We had a lovely assortment of dishes that all tasted fantastic! I will say the sardines were a bit salty but they were still very fresh and tasty. The staff here are so polite and helpful, you really can’t ask for me. I’d recommend the sangria jug or the garlic mushrooms.
I was there for a meal afer the Wales Ireland M6N game (Come on Ireland!) and found this little place on our way back. It turned out to be an inspired choice. The tapas was lovely, arrived quickly and was served with a smile. Our waitress (didn't catch her name but she was from Morocco) was attentive without being overbearing and looked after is very well. Will be happy to recommend to people coming to Cardiff for sure! I also don't think I will ever forget seeing and hearing staff talking in Hindi carrying a paella pan
We’ve only just come back from Spain and this meal was as authentic as they come with excellent service to boot. I can’t recommend Santiago’s highly enough - we only had tapas as a light lunch but it felt so much better than that.
Gorgeous, authentic food and very reasonably priced. Food came quickly but servers could have been more aware of customers and checked in to ask for more bread, drinks etc. Can't wait to return!
We had a lovely meal here on a busy Friday night. We hadn't booked (I strongly recommend you do) but they juggled their bookings to fit 4 of us in. The service, food and wine were all excellent and if we lived anywhere near Cardiff we'd eat here regularly. An added bonus was the bill for 4 including wine was Just 87.
An outstanding medium sized restaurant, run by great staff serving amazing food. We visited as a late lunch walk in. The team were more than accommodating and ran through their extensive menu. A recommendation of 2-3 tapas dishes per person was well received and perfect for a substantial late lunch. do not walk past this place you will regret it.
