  “1st time visiting Maison de Bœuf today, celebrating our 8 year anniversary - definitely won’t be the last. food was absolutely fantastic, service from our server Lottie was particularly impeccable, all dishes served timely & not rushed. absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a cozy, romantic place to eat in Cardiff. The staff certainly went out of their way to make our night extremely special and they were an absolute credit to our night! Thank you Lottie and the rest of the team who we spoke to tonight!”

  “Danica is an absolute credit to this restaurant. My partner and I celebrated our anniversary here (our first time visiting Maison De Boeuf) and it was extremely enjoyable. Beautiful restaurant. We managed to book a table at short notice over the phone with no issues. Danica (our waitress) was super lovely and friendly and nothing was a bother for her. She made us feel very welcome and clearly works so hard to meet customers needs. The steak and drinks we had were delicious! Thank you so much for making our anniversary so special and thank you Danica!”

  “The place is amazing. The food was so delicious. I choose their “house special” meat, 10/10. We had so much fun with Lily, she helped us and even gave us a pen for drawing. She made the experience unforgettable. Thank you Lily 💕”

  “Had a lovely Saturday lunch there with my family. Food was great, really like their onion soup, as good as those I had in Paris. Dessert and mocktail were lush. Good service. Will go back next time on their live music nights.”

  “Beautiful restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, elegant décor and a great live singer. The cocktail I had was also excellent. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. The menu offers only one main course, so we expected it to be executed exceptionally well. Unfortunately, even that fell short of expectations. The fries were clearly frozen and pre-fried rather than freshly made, which was surprising for a restaurant of this standard. We ordered both the cheese soufflé and the onion soup as starters, but they tasted remarkably similar and seemed to share almost the same ingredients, making them difficult to distinguish. The bread served with both starters was extremely hard. The side salad was nothing more than a handful of plain leaves with vinegar, lacking any care or creativity. To finish, the tarte Tatin was one of the biggest disappointments: the pastry was chewy instead of crisp and buttery, completely missing what makes this classic dessert special. Overall, the décor, the live singer and the cocktails were the highlights of the evening, but the food fell well below expectations, especially considering the prices.”

  “Having booked a table at Maison de Boeuf for an anniversary meal, we couldn’t have chosen better. The restaurant was perfect, romantically French and the food was amazing. The staff were also fantastic and made our evening by bringing us a free desert to celebrate the occasion - a really nice gesture that made us feel so welcome. We couldn’t recommend Maison de Boeuf more highly, with a very reasonably priced menu too!”

  “Lovely experience! We went on a Sunday evening so was some live music which was lovely- not too loud to chat! The steak was lovely! I had the apple tart for dessert and my partner had the crème brûlée- both amazing ! We don’t drink alcohol so had a coke and lemonade each and our total came to around £78 for two courses and two drinks - no complaints at all and will be returning on our next visit to Cardiff! It was quite tight spacing so if you are claustrophobic I’d recommend going on a slower evening :)”

  “My fiancée and I visited here the weekend just gone. And we loved it, the food was immaculate. Starters, sharing main and dessert was all fantastic. We ordered different starters and desserts so we could both taste the menu, and we weren’t disappointed. Fab cost for two of us having a bottle of wine aswell. Would recommend!”

  “Wow—what a discovery. I eat out in Cardiff regularly, from top-rated restaurants and tapas bars to chains, takeaways, and pop-ups, but Maison de Boeuf truly stands out alongside places like Pasture, The Ivy, and Miller & Carter. Despite being open for three years, we only found it through word of mouth—and what a find it was. The concept is unique, yet the quality is absolutely top-tier. The set menu includes three starters, a main of steak frites with a side salad (plus a vegan option), and three classic French desserts. Portions are generous—more than enough to satisfy even the biggest appetites. Service was quick, polite, and perfectly friendly without being overbearing. The location in Castle Arcade is also a highlight—one of the coolest and most up-and-coming spots in central Cardiff. And now for the best part: the price. A three-course menu for under £38 at this level of quality is incredible—less than half of what you might pay elsewhere. I’ve spent that much on just a steak before. We’ll definitely be back. 👌🫶”
