Local tips
- Order extra sides instead of starters – the mac and cheese, truffle fries and onion rings are often the highlight of the meal.
- Try the rib eye or short rib for maximum flavour; they tend to have more depth than leaner cuts like fillet.
- Book ahead for weekends or special occasions – the themed booths and lively atmosphere make it popular for groups and celebrations.

Discover more about Steak of the Art
A feast for the eyes and the palate
Steak of the Art lives up to its name with a dining room that feels like a gallery-meets-diner. Colourful walls, original artwork for sale, and a collection of themed booths – from Doctor Who to Alice in Wonderland – create a lively, slightly quirky atmosphere that’s a world away from a traditional steakhouse. The space is bright and open, with bold colours, industrial touches, and a bar that draws in both diners and drinkers. Whether you’re here for a big night out or a relaxed meal, the setting encourages conversation and a sense of fun.Steak done simply, but well
The menu is focused: high-quality steaks take centre stage, sourced from named suppliers like West Country farms and local butchers. Cuts include rib eye, fillet, rump and short rib, cooked to order and served with a choice of sauces and sides. Portions are generous, with thick, juicy steaks that show good depth of flavour, especially in cuts like rib eye. The kitchen pays attention to cooking precision, so whether you prefer rare, medium or well done, the meat arrives as requested, with crisp hand-cut chips and well-prepared accompaniments.More than just steak
While steak is the star, the restaurant offers more than just meat. A Sunday roast option with beef short rib or pork belly gives a hearty alternative, complete with gravy, roast vegetables and mash. Starters include meat boards, salads and fish boards, while sides like mac and cheese, sweet potato fries, onion rings and garlic spinach are popular enough to be shared between tables. The dessert selection is solid, with options like waffles and hot chocolate, though some find the sweet offerings less memorable than the savoury courses.Drinks and service in a city-centre setting
The bar is a strong point, with a good selection of craft ales, proper bottled drinks and well-made cocktails that pair nicely with the food. Service is consistently described as friendly, attentive and quick, helping the meal feel smooth and relaxed. Located on Churchill Way in central Cardiff, the restaurant is easy to reach on foot from the main shopping areas and transport hubs, making it a convenient choice for both locals and visitors looking for a satisfying, fun meal without needing to travel far from the city core.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
