In summer, the terrace is very nice and it's nice to enjoy it in the afternoon when it's sunny! In addition, a good choice of beers is available.

The Baytree awaits you in a very pretty setting, with a wooden décor and bouquets of dried flowers hanging from the walls... On the menu, a selection of meat, fish and classic or original vegetarian dishes... The menu often varies, but the classics are always on the menu, such as traditional burgers, or a selection of sandwiches and snacks. Desserts are beautiful and tasty, with gluten-free options. And when the weather's nice, you can enjoy a pleasant terrace. Bonus: frequent live music on Saturdays.

A nice pub that recreates a perfect atmosphere of pirate tavern! The kitchen is also worth a visit, especially since the arrival of Chief Christos, born in Athens, which brings a Mediterranean influence to British classics.

There are just a few tables inside this little café, but the terrace extends under the arcades, so you can sit there in all weathers.

The place is particularly popular during sports broadcasts, when a good atmosphere prevails, with superb energy if Wales emerges victorious! You can also enjoy a snack or a more substantial meal.

Opening in spring 2012, The Sugarplum Tea room is the perfect place for a delicate afternoon tea welsh in a pastel-coloured doll's house. The atmosphere is really warm and welcoming, with its soft and lively spirit. We come here for breakfast until 11am, with gluten and/or vegan-free options for those who wish: from a delicious choice of pancakes, avocado toast and poached eggs to a snack and lunch. Bara brith, ice creams, cakes, but above all absolutely appetizing round creamy cakes.

Near Roath Park, this café (attached to the Fish & Field restaurant which, by the way, is also worth a visit) is a hidden gem, admittedly a little out of the way, but well worth the effort!

You take your time and enjoy the place and what it has to offer. The welcome is perfect, and if you need help or advice, the team is on hand.

The setting is original - like an industrial warehouse - and lively, with huge vats of craft beers that feed directly into the pints. This brewery is known for its tasty unfiltered and unpasteurized beers. Perfect if you're then heading to Principality Stadium, just across the road. If you're hungry, let yourself be tempted by small appetizers such as Cajun shrimp, fried calamari... Before tackling mussels, pizzas, pastas or a variety of risottos. And we're even tempted by the mango beer...

A pub of character, the locals' favourite. According to tradition, it was built in 1410, during the revolt of Owain Glyndwr, but it is more likely to date from the Elizabethan era. In 1970, the building showed some signs of old age and during the renovation of the roof, superb murals were discovered, representing, among others, two horned devils, the Passion of Christ... They are still visible today. You only have to ask to see them.

Plate side's fine. Atmosphere at the weekend, it's festive!

Ty Gwyn is the village's must-see pub, nestled in a house dating from 1784. Locals and tourists alike appreciate it especially for its character and its Welsh music evenings on Friday evenings.
