Review on The Bay View Bar & Thai Dining

Overlooking the Mumbles lighthouse and the sweeping sands of Swansea Bay, this impressive-looking edifice has been a local landmark for more than a century. Following a major refit, it has recently been transformed into a vibrant contemporary bar, lounge and dining room specialising in Thai food.

The 50-dish menu covers all the usual Thai bases, from satays, fish cakes and tom yum soup right through to noodles and rice. In between, expect salads, stir-fries, curries and a few specials including 'weeping tiger' (grilled sirloin steak marinated in red wine, chilli and soy). Two-course lunch specials are unbeatable value, and it's also worth noting that there are generally live gigs on Fridays and Sundays.
