The best restaurants Cardiff (Caerdydd)

Here, we enjoy the famous welshcakes! If at first you're not sure what Welsh gastronomy is, these little raisin-based cakes soon make up for it. Fabulous Welshcakes has two small stores, one of which is close to the castle. Here, your cakes are prepared and baked in front of you. And for many, that's where you'll find the best cakes! Plus: a few original recipes, such as white chocolate or lemon. Divine!

The Blue Bell, opposite Cardiff Castle, is the place to go for traditional Welsh cuisine. The warm atmosphere and welcoming staff make it a pleasant place where tourists and locals rub shoulders every day. Local specialities are given pride of place, and traditional dishes are revisited for the better and cooked with fresh, quality produce. Last but not least, on match nights, the atmosphere becomes euphoric in front of the screens, and it's very pleasant to have a drink with the fans.

On Cardiff Bay, we fly straight to Asia, its Bollywood atmosphere and spicy flavors, in the home of the Duchess of Delhi. In 2019, this restaurant was even voted one of the best in the country for South Asian gastronomy. Because here, despite its name, not only Indian cuisine is honored, there are Nepalese, Thai, Sri Lankan flavors... adapted to Western taste buds when it comes to spices. Please note that service can sometimes be a little slow, so it's best to book ahead and take your time.

Cardiff is full of superb restaurants that make us travel and discover other cuisines. And this one is a wonderful example. It all began in the 1990s, when the owner moved to Britain with the idea of opening a restaurant that would bring out the best in Turkish cuisine. On the menu, cold mezzés such as tabbouleh and hummus, or hot ones such as soups or grilled halloumi, dishes with grilled meat or other specialties. And for dessert, there's an excellent carrot cake, for example.

Specializing in wood-fired pizzas, The Stable offers an original menu based on fresh, local produce. The modern decor and relaxed atmosphere make it a very pleasant place to eat. In addition to pizzas, the restaurant offers a selection of local ciders and beers, as well as dishes to share. The long tables in the center of the room are ideal for large groups. Whether for a drink or a bite to eat, this is a very pleasant place to meet up with family and friends.
