The food is delicious we had a wonderful evening trying some different wines and and pairing with some exceptional tapas. The service was 5 star providing amazing suggestions and great conversation and passion.
We had an excellent meal at Curado Bar. Being a group of six allowed us to try lots of dishes; we all had different favourites, but everything was well cooked and full of flavour. We had two of their house red wines, and both were good value. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. All in all we would highly recommend this restaurant.
Absolutely love this place, delicious tapas, the team were great & our favorite beer is on tap. Can’t go wrong
Helpful & friendly service as a first time diner. Loved the warm and spanish style bar. First class tapas & the pork loin was just Highly recommend!

Amazing food! Such a great selection and a hidden gem I didn’t expect to find! A must go to!!
I had a really enjoyable meal here last Tuesday evening. We were sat upstairs and the decor is fairly low key. It’s not fancy but it doesn’t need to be. On the way in I noticed some bar tapas so when the menu came we started by ordering one of each of all of the meat ones and a vege one. They were delicious and well presented. We coupled this with some beer and wine. John, our waiter, was super friendly, helpful and knowledgable about the food and wine. Made us feel really welcome and was on hand through the meal when we wanted more. We then ordered a round of hot and cold tapas. The standouts were the chorizo which was sooo soft. The mushrooms were also immense. Loved them. Wanted more! All the dishes were great. The calamari’s was a little dry and maybe needed a dip with it but it was a small footnote. Really enjoyed the meal and would 100% go back again.
This is an amazing must try restaurant for Cardiff!!! Best Spanish I’ve had in UK. We had: 1. Potato bravo which was crisp on outside and super soft inside 2. Thinly sliced fried aubergine in light batter, so tender and delicious and the batter didn’t overwhelm the aubergine 3. Roasted artichoke with garnish in a slightly bed of pepper mash/sauce. The artichokes were perfection and the sauce was smooth and slightly sour, a perfect combination 4. Mushrooms were deliciously buttery. Garlic taste not as strong as other places I’ve tried 5. Basque style cheesecake served with cream - absolute heaven, best cheesecake I’ve ever had. So creamy smooth and perfect texture So so good and every dish was excellent. The restaurant has given each classic dish a special twist and was a wonderful dining experience!
