I would rate this one of my favourite restaurants in Welsh. We have been to a few Michelin star restaurants and I feel the food from Gem 42 is even better than some of them. I had winter menu six courses and I can say it worth every penny. What I see in the food is a good mix of tradition and creativity. I can feel the influence and love in the chef’s heart from Italian, French, Japanese and also Wales food. Instead of perusing only the most expensive ingredients, this restaurant values the importance of freshness, the nature and balance of different food. There is definitely room to improve, but we enjoy our food journey with them on a Friday night. And great service from all the staffs and chefs from Gem 42. Thank you.
I visited Gem42 today with my mother for Italian afternoon tea and it was incredible!! Every bite we took, we looked at each other in disbelief at how amazing it all tasted. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and made the experience even better. The atmosphere was quiet and the Italian music that was playing just added to the experience (especially if you love Andrea Bocelli like us). The chef brought out all of the food and explained what each of the items were, and the meanings behind them. I would 1000% recommend dining here! We will most definitely be back soon :) (I should have taken more photos as there was SO much food and it all looked beautiful)
A fantastic Italian tasting menu experience. We went out with friends and had the 6 course option and chose our own pre and post dinner cocktails and wine. Fantastic service throughout and so lovely to have the chef introducing each dish. Will definitely be back!
We had the most incredible evening & enjoyed the tasting menu & wine pairing. The food was absolutely first class, the wine & the stories behind why they were chosen and where from was so interesting… the service was impeccable … everything from start to finish was something I never thought we’d find in Newport … thank goodness we have! I’ll be going back over and over and over again without a doubt! They even gave me a cake at the end for my birthday!
