Our Restaurants & Cafes
The centre of Cardiff is dominated by UK wide chain type eating establishments, there are lots of them and no doubt the vast majority provide good food and service but we don’t tend to go these places. Our recommendations below are for independently run restaurants which we consider to provide great food. Not necessarily cheap we think they provide good value for the quality of food and cooking.
