Le Monde is great for any occasion – business, a romantic meal, catching up with friends or a celebration. It’s easy to see why there are so many regulars – they come as much for the atmosphere as for the food.
Situated at the bustling end of St Mary Street and a stone’s throw from the fantastic St David’s II retail development, Le Monde offers the freshest choice of fish, shellfish, steak and poultry.
Atmospherically lit and with banquet style tables and magnificent art deco style décor Le Monde is famous for its fresh display cabinets, live kitchen and unique environment.
Le Monde is a Cardiff institution, and I can understand why. Service, food, wine, and atmosphere are all spot on. Selection and quality of seafood and meat is hard to beat anywhere else in the city. The wine list is very extensive. Highly recommend a visit for any special occasion, or as a treat.
Lovely Welcoming, Beautiful Fresh Fish Displays & Good Service. Me & My Dad Had Lobster.... Stunning 😍
Average quality Christmas meal. Very poor selection of dairy-free options. The meal was lukewarm with inedible hard swede, clearly undercooked. Turkey was on a dry side, pigs in blankets unpleasantly greasy. Starter very small. All in all, not worth the price. Service was very quick and drinks are reasonably good quality. However, one of the waitresses was rude pushing in behind my chair to collect the dishes, no apologies or even an earlier mention that's what she was planning to do - I obviously would have got up to give her space or passed on the plates, there's no need to push in and make me wobble in my chair mid-conversation. Clearly inexperienced. Some senior staff members are just over the top and borderline theatrical in this place. The restaurant is very loud and there are far too many tables squeezed into a small space, it's overcrowded. Overall, the place looks and feels slightly naff, aspiring to be a quality restaurant but failing grotesquely.
This is one of those really interesting places to eat. I'm not really interested in restaurants where you have to stand staring at a board to choose what you fancy eating. But at Le Monde, you have to. There is a board to choose your starters, and mains. But there's a fish counter where you choose your desired fish to be taken away and cooked to your liking with optional sauces, vegetables or a great salad selection. My wife chose the fish soup and I had the homemade fishcakes. Followed by swordfish steaks. The food here is cooked to perfection but, be warned, this place is busy, busy, busy. So you need to book in advance and don't expect a quiet romantic meal, but professionalism you will get. I would definitely come back here if I were to visit Cardiff again.
A superb experience at Le Monde. Choice of fish and meat is amazing. Lovely vibe in the restaurant. The best selection of wine in Wales. Would recommend.
