Food & Drink

 
Church Street in the city centreCardiff has a growing reputation for fine dining, with the chefs being lucky enough to have some of the best produce to work with - magnificent Welsh lamb and beef, high-quality vegetables, shellfish and wild salmon. In the city centre’s new Brewery Quarter you can wine and dine al fresco at a wide range of restaurants – from tapas to Thai, and new restaurants are emerging everywhere with a seemingly endless choice of cuisine.

If someone in Cardiff tells you they want Brains, don’t be alarmed, they’re referring to the local brewery, which produce the city’s favourite pint. The lively St Mary Street is the busiest area for bars and clubs at the weekend with Mill Lane and Mermaid Quay in Cardiff Bay providing popular alternatives.
