Stopped in the Old Custom House after a long walk around Cardiff Bay and the garage. Conveniently located, found a seat at the bar, the restaurant was quite full and bustling and smelled amazing. They have a unique menu listed on a chalk board above an array of fresh meats, seafood and salads. We only shared a bowl of olives but will definitely be back in the near future to have a full meal.

It was my first time coming here today. Whilst they are lovely and the views are gorgeous I haven't tried the menu as of yet.The service from the guys was lovely. They are dog friendly in the beer garden and the grounds are kept very smart.The only slight issue is they are not very accessible. With a step down to the main part of the beer garden and the layout of the tables not easy to get around in the wheelchair I would not be able to come here on my own.They do have parking and a very nice bar area. Heated lamps outside as well for evenings.

Came here for a Christmas dinner but it was quite disappointed.Service:the table staff are friendly and helpful however this is different for staff behind the counter. I was keen to order Mediterranean fish soup but when I asked what’s in the soup your staff is not happy to answer my questions. This is a basic thing and they don’t even asked whether you are allergic to any ingredients.Food:Ordered the fish soup but to be honest it is just a tomatoes based soup with a lot of onions and peppers. I have been told there are some fish inside but only two pieces of mussels nothing else. All you can taste are onions and peppers. Avoid! On main courses I ordered tuna steak and all I can taste is the salt. It’s very salty and I have to keep drinking water. Bear in mind this is a restaurant that don’t serve tap water. You have to pay for bottle water.Overall:As other have mentioned this is an overrated restaurant with simple food. While I think the seafood is fresh, it was just not properly prepared.

We visited on a Sunday in October after pre booking, we’ve fancied visiting for a while but never got around to it and I was a little put off by the reviews stating bad service. I’m glad we visited because our meal was excellent from start to finish. We were welcomed at the door and offered a seat at the bar while we waited for our table, we waited for a small while to be served but our table was ready when we did. My wife had a Sunday lunch and I had a fillet steak, my wife said the Sunday lunch was the nicest one she’d had for a while. The fillet steak was excellent, really nice size for a fillet, really tender, tasty and perfectly cooked to my order. We shared the pate starter and had a bread basket, the pate was lovely and so was the bread. The broccoli side I had was very nice, cooked with chilli and garlic and so was the pepper sauce I had with the steak. We had a bottle of the Marques de Riscal Verdejo and a couple of glasses of Piper Champagne, both very nice. The service was excellent throughout, from the greeting to the table service and the guy behind the ordering counter, very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The building is very nice too, nicely decorated, bustling with activity but plenty of space around the tables. Including the alcohol I mentioned the bill was around £130 including a tip. We will definitely be back.

El Pourto at The Old Custom House was beautiful. Food was cooked to perfection and the wine selection was superb. Will definitely be returning. We all had 3 courses and 4 bottles of wine.

We had never been here before, which is a real shame because it was excellent! The food was exceptional, the view across the bay amazing. We will definitely be back.

Friend and I went to The Old Custom House for a lunch. Restaurant is situated in historic building (there are 2 restaurants) , with a stunning outdoor terrace overlooking Cardiff marina, surrounded by plants around the tables . Spanish theme. We enjoyed delicious food, wine and the views. Very enjoyable afternoon.

Our family shared one of the happiest, most delicious, meals out here, that i can remember. The staff are passionate, the restaurant food counter is beautifully presented and the food is exquisitely prepared, and all at a really quite reasonable price point.Their focus seems to be on simple food done to perfection, and they are down-to-earth enough to have a salad bar.As someone who is gluten free, GF, I really appreciated that there was very little I couldn't eat.There is free parking outside the restaurant and they even have an electric car charger (albeit an expensive one).Next time we are in Cardiff we'll defininely make the effort to drop by again!
