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.

One of the best places to eat in Cardiff for Tapas. - Don't expect a cheap meal, however the food is well worth it- After two bottles of good wine and a bunch of food me and my mate spent around £130 (not cheap I know) however the food was amazing but you can be overwhelmed by choice, but the staff are really helpful and will point you in a direction so your tastebuds are happy. My food recommendations are: -Bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar -Olives<--- I personally love olives and tried many in my time, these were by far some of the best if not the best ones I tried in a very long time -Grilled octopus (served with potatoes...bit weird but its fine the octopus was so tasty) -Duck Moose with caviar<-- I would recommend having this with a high acidic wine as the moose after drinking the wine really brought out the flavors -The thin sliced ham, very nice and pretty much melt in your mouth. For wines I would just go with what you normally like to drink as there is a big selection, but would go for a more expensive one say around £25+ as they have such a good selection, but talk to your waiter and get them to ask you questions so they can recommend the best one. Overall I shall of course be coming back but sadly when I have saved a bit more money

DO NOT DINE HERE! This has to be the worst restaurant I have been to in a very long time. We were a party of 6. Everything went well until the waitress came to take our order. She didn't know anything about the menu. The menu was in an obscure font and tiny letters, so it was very difficult to read. That was the last time we saw her. It was a different waiter or waitress each time we ordered after that. One waiter in particular was wearing short shorts and was incredibly rude. I watched him and the other waitresses arguing at the till for ten minutes before he stomped over and threw a bill at me for 240 quid that I didn't ask for. He literally threw it on the table. Grunted at me and stomped off. Our whole table was shocked and disgusted. They were arguing because we had a different waiter each time we requested something, and there was no system in place for our "correct" bill. Look at the picture. That plate cost 15 quid. I ate that in two mouthfuls. I thought it was a joke when it got served to me. Starter was 8 quid for a very small piece of stale bread with a bit of feta on it. Drinks took forever to arrive, and when they were, the staff were very rude, and we did not feel welcome at all. Needless to say, we will never come here again.

Terrible customer service for a 30 weeks pregnant lady with gestational diabetes We visited Curado bar with some friends. While waiting for everyone to arrived I asked the waiter to bring me some bread and a tomato salad as I was 30 weeks pregnant with gestational diabetes. I had just tested my blood sugar and it was really low. I was having a "hypo" (hypoglycaemia). After a while, 15 min or so, I asked the waiter if I could have just bread as I was diabetic and my sugar was really low. He told me: the bread is in the kitchen been cooked, when it is ready I will bring it to you. So I thought he did not understand the diabetes thing and I try to explained it. He cut me and said again: the bread is in the kitchen been cooked, when it is ready I will bring it to you. I told him, I just needed the bread for now, that does not need to be cooked, please. He said again: the bread is in the kitchen been cooked, when it is ready I will bring it to you. All in a very sharp and abrupt tone. I was very distressed by that answer. I was about to pass out as my blood levels were 3.2. I remind you I was 30 weeks pregnant too. I started to get very shaky and sweaty. Very worried I was going to faint. The bread came after a good 8-10 min. This incident totally ruined my dinner out with my friends.

The tomato salad I ordered did not come, even after my friends have ordered their own food and their plates start arriving. I managed to talked to another waiter and he brought me the tomato salad.

Regarding the experience, I was very disappointed with the service not just about that incident with the waiter but also as Spanish myself away from home I wanted to have that little treat to remember my country. Several waiters brought food to our table for my friends and they did not even tell us what the plates were, they just left it on the table.

They have a good variety of Spanish food and you can get a good rage of tapas. It is expensive for what it is.

Very important the look at costumer service, now with more tapas bar opening in Cardiff I do not see the point of going to Curado again. As a Spanish person I will make sure I let everyone know about what...

We visited for the first time as a party of 6, for my friend’s birthday. Some of the dishes were delicious, some ok, some boring; but what really left a bitter taste in our mouth, was the attitude we were faced with when we paid in cash. We had no idea they have a ā€œcard onlyā€ policy, my friend booked the table and we’ve never been there before. We gave our contribution of cash to the waitress and our friends paid their part with their cards; the waitress walked off and then she came running to my partner and I before we walked out of the door saying, ā€œyou can’t pay in cash sorry, card only.ā€ I told them I don’t have my card and we only brought cash out for the evening. The female manager was called and her attitude stunk. She was condescending, rude and said we should have read the sign on the door (which we didn’t notice because the door was open on arrival). Obviously we had already eaten, so I asked her what she suggested and she told me to tell our friends (who had already left) to pay on their card and give them the cash? Then she said she was going to call the police for not paying, even though I was stood there offering money to her?! I’m pretty sure the police have got other priorities other than payment method disputes on a Friday night. šŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆ Anyway, the manager really needs to work on her customer delivery and perhaps all staff make it clear BEFORE they take people’s orders, about their card only policy. I have since researched the law and found that when you are in debt to someone in the UK (ie we ate food at the establishment) cash is deemed ā€œlegal tenderā€ to pay debts and cannot be refused. Needless to say, we left our money on the table for them and just walked out; never to return again! The thing that was the most annoying? The manager laughed at me for daring to...
