Curado Bar

1. Absolutely fantastic tapas/pintxos – it’s not tremendously cheap, but the food really was excellent

2. One of my favourite bars in Cardiff.
   Great drinks, love the choice of wines but my favourite drink is probably a Marianito.
   Food is always good, great Pintxos, really like the Chicharrones, the cheese selection and the fried almonds.
   Staff are always fantastic and very knowledgeable ans enthusiastic

3. I’m not the biggest fan of Spanish food but haven’t had any for years so thought why not try some tonight.

   I looked online and this place appeared to have good reviews so off I went.

   First impressions was how surprisingly busy it was on an early Thursday evening. It took a while before I was seated. I was seated at the bar first but asked if I could be seated at a table. They gave me an hour as the table was booked, which was more than enough time.

   There wasn’t really anything on the menu that really popped out to me so decided to play it safe and order a potato small plates and a shin beef special.

   The potato arrived piping hot so I had to let it cool down for a bit. Flavourwise, I personally thought there was too much going on and I’d rather it was a more simplistic affair. I guess this is how it’s meant to taste so bear that in mind.

   As for the beef, that arrived a lot cooler and it did taste quite nice though I wish there was more chucks of beef. The sauce was really tasty but I had no spoon and it didn’t come with any bread to soak up the juices so I wasn’t sure how best to consume this dish.

   Though I wish I had picked other dishes, that’s not to say the food I did have was by any means bad. Its more likely I don’t appreciate Spanish cuisine as much as others do.

4. Very slow service to start and not busy. Table of 8 ordered at same time, told the pork £15 take a little longer to cook, All other food came out in 15 mins, after 40 mins asking where pork dishes are, told on way, little later later they came out to ask what we ordered??? Really??? Then told told dish take longer to cook… Clearly forgotten also and as rare and would not take more than a few mins to cook, 10 mins later and sliced pork arrived. Plus £15 for small slice of meat,,, both of us waiting nearly an hour thinking this was a main course with more was very Annoying

5. Amazing food every time we visit, wouldn’t go anywhere else
