Shopping can be exhausting, so it's great to know there are some fantastic places to take a break with a coffee, or stop for lunch.

Cardiff has some of Wales' and the UK's best international restaurants as well as plenty of local Welsh flavour. You'll find these restaurants, whether they're in the city centre, Cardiff Bay, or a little further out, the perfect place to do lunch, and rest after a day of retail therapy.

For great people watching, try the Café Quarter and Mill Lane. With plenty of alfresco seating you can watch the world go by. The Brewery Quarter, just off St Mary Street offers you the world on a plate with Spanish, Italian, Indian, Thai and Mexican cuisine. 

Eastside in St David's brings celebrity chef restaurant Jamie's Italian, as well as a host of well known and independent names. With restaurants right in the centre, there's no need to go anywhere else!

For stunning waterside views try Mermaid Quay. Enjoy a range of restaurants whilst taking in the sights and sounds of Cardiff Bay.
