When a top TV foodie calls one of your starters “historic” and hints that he’d consider moving to Wales just to be near your restaurant, you know you’re doing something right. For Jodie Haynes and her partner Jon Cox, buying and running a business for the first time has been an enjoyable rollercoaster ride, and one that now makes them proud owners of Swansea’s best restaurant according to popular review site Tripadvisor.
Truffle, on King Edward’s Road, is ranked number one on the site with a 5.0 rating (the maximum) based on more than 300 reviews which mainly laud the “imaginative, delicious food” and the “lovely atmosphere”. To get the latest What's On newsletters from WalesOnline, click here.
One review of Truffle that carries slightly more weight than others was written by TV personality Giles Coren, who has been a restaurant critic for The Times for the past two decades. “The vibe in the room is unbeatable,” he wrote. “My meatballs were absolutely historic,” he said, before adding that his son, who accompanied him to the restaurant, said that he’d like to live in Swansea, so impressed was he with his experience at Truffle.
