Thank you for compiling this list. All the options are suitable to me, but in the interest of reaching a consensus, I have a preference for either Viva Brazil or Lezzet. :)</p>

<p>Dear SWLUG member,</p>
<p>Thank you for your responses. Key take aways:-</p>
<p>a) Needs to be central Cardiff.</p>
<p>b) Price £25-35 acceptable.<br>
</p>
<p>c) A partner does not seem to be an issue.</p>
<p>d) Turkey and tinsel is not required.</p>
<p>e) My caution with "Indian" had some support..</p>
<p>f) "e" also raises the question of hot chilli for a mixed group.<br>
</p>
<p>Focussing on the Cardiff central area these are those I considered and my comments.</p>
<p><b>Las Iguanas</b> (Mexican) Christmas menu £30</p>
<p>There are some vegetarian choices, but may be better with a la carte. The target price seems achievable, but does depend on choices. I was a little concerned that it could be a little chilli heavy and might be a bit too loud, but I have no personal experience.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Viva Brasil </b>Christmas menu £45<b><br>
</b></p>
<p>Some vegetarian, but generally meat heavy. A la carte gives options within price target, but dependent on choices. No personal experience.<br>
</p>
<p><b>La Monde</b></p>
<p>set menu £29-42. Described as Galician/Spanish brasserie style. Vegetarians go hungry. Mixed reviews. No personal experience.<br>
</p>
<p><b>The Sorting Room</b> (Parkgate Hotel)</p>
<p>Conventional dining. Limited vegetarian options. Choices are possible, but many exceed the price target. As well as price I have concerns this might be a little too formal. May want £10 deposit per head.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Cote</b> Christmas menu £40, but a'la carte options are available within price target.<br>
</p>
<p>French style dining. Chain, but good standard that I have used elsewhere. Limited vegetarian options. As well as price I have concerns this might be a little too formal.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Lezzet Turkish Kitchen</b> Most within target price, a few choices exceed.<br>
</p>
<p>Some vegetarian options. Mixed platters with sundries are common for groups. This a smaller operation so there could be issues with booking. No personal experience.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Vegetarian Food Studio</b> £25 last year</p>
<p>Used in previous years. A'la carte options within target price, but care with chilli. Plenty of vegetarian options, but nothing for carnivores.</p>
<p>As before these are my comments. Personally I think focus on the last two.<br>
</p>
<p>Kindest Regards</p>
