Wales is famous for it hearty, rough around the edges, yet truly tasty nosh. And this follows through into their no nonsense one of a kind independent restaurants. Be it Welsh cakes, leek rarebit, and let’s not forget roasted lamb which appears at many a Sunday luncheon.
Cardiff has an honest food and drink offering, combined with its authentically warm and friendly Welsh hospitality. It really sets itself apart from all the other dining scenes across the UK. Without further ado, here are some of the best places to eat in Cardiff.
The Clink
If you want a little taste of the finer kind of dining on the city scene then The Clink is not only an iconic eatery, but a revolutionary organisation. In fact, one of the first of its kind. The unique charm of this place is that you are eating Welsh produce cooked up by prisoners training to work in the hospitality industry.
The Vick Charity is the organisation behind it. There is no alcohol, but the food more than makes up for it.
Wales meets France
Bully's
An unusual combination some might say but it is definitely not the case at all.
Bully’s is a surprisingly cute little place that serves up Welsh ingredients with a French finesse. It’s a totally adorable establishment that takes pride not just in the food but also the presentation. One not to be missed.
