Mermaid Quay is the perfect place for dining out, grabbing a snack or relaxing over a drink while taking in views out over the waters of Cardiff Bay.

With cuisine from around the world – from Welsh ice cream to Japanese sushi, from stone-baked pizzas and pastas to the finest French cuisine– Cardiff’s beautiful waterfront is somewhere that caters for all tastes, moods and pockets. Plus there are great coffee shops, food on-the-go takeaways and much more.

Why not have a laugh at The Glee Club, Cardiff’s first and finest comedy venue?

There’s gorgeous boutiques – where you’ll find traditional Welshcakes, handmade Welsh gifts, shoes and accessories – and Tesco Express for the essentials.

Plus, there’s the luxurious, internationally renowned Ken Picton Salon for hair and beauty and other services.

In a location steeped in history, Mermaid Quay’s distinctive architecture is inspired by its maritime location and rich heritage – featuring decking, towers, balconies, terraces, colonnades and bridges.

There’s always plenty going on, with a great programme of events and entertainment on site plus the location is right in the middle of all the other Cardiff Bay attractions including Techniquest, Roald Dahl Plass and the Wales Millennium Centre.
