It opened in summer 2025 and is the sister venue of Silures Roath.

Designed as a “universal hospitality space”, Silures features a lively bar, peaceful garden, and private dining room.

Only the main restaurant and terrace are bookable, and reservations are recommended due to its growing popularity.

Inside, diners find soft lighting and smart tables in a setting that feels “grown-up” yet warmly relaxed.

Seasonal menus offer starters like Trealy Farm charcuterie, Atlantic Edge oysters with a Bloody Mary twist, and pork and white pudding Scotch eggs.

Mains include native seafood linguine, wild mushroom risotto with black garlic and crispy sage, beer-battered haddock, and pan-roasted halibut with crayfish, mussels and lobster bisque.

Sunday lunch has become a particular highlight, offering dry-aged sirloin, crispy pork belly or roast chicken with all the traditional trimmings.

Desserts range from Amalfi lemon tart to truffled Cenarth brie.

Service is described as “attentive rather than stuffy”.

Online reviewers consistently praise the balance of food, atmosphere and sea views.
