    Le Café Fez is a brand new café cum restaurant on Clifton Street, and is therefore forming part of…read morethe front guard of the businesses that are helping to regenerate the area. (A rapid decline amongst the businesses on this street has been apparent in recent months, since the council implemented a new one way system about a year ago.) Le Café Fez has been open about two months now, and everything seems to be going well. I have not eaten here yet, but am looking forward to some fine Moroccan dining at some point. Instead I have indulged in their fantastic coffee, and have enjoyed sitting at the table out front, just watching the world go by. Le Café Fez is situated in one of the busiest sections of Clifton Street, and so it always prove3s entertaining! The interior is really colourful and bright, and not being very large it feels intimate and homely. There is a huge marquee out the back that can be used for private events, as well as catering for the overflow from the restaurant. Somewhat inevitably it is also a shisha garden. Le Café Fez is owned by a really lovely gentleman called Ali, whose mild manners and engaging smile brighten up even the dullest of days.

    I love Moroccan food and I'd really like to travel to Fez one day, because it sounds like one of…read morethe country's most exciting cities. As soon as I spotted this new café/restaurant on Clifton Street a month or two ago I was drawn in by the exotic name and the prospect of some authentic Moroccan cuisine. The menu features classics such as Lamb tagine, and I tried a couscous-based dish which was very tasty (and reasonably priced) - plus there's some good options for vegetarians. I think they are still finding their feet and their customer-base, as it was quiet when I went there, but I really hope they make it work as this area needs a good Moroccan. You can sit outside at the front of the café or inside amongst their warm and cosy décor. And for those who enjoy smoking a shisha pipe, there's a tented area out at the back where you can indulge.

    A place of sheer opulence in comparison to the other businesses along this stretch of city road…read more This Middle eastern dining experience has to be one of my favorites, the complete atmosphere of the place transports you to the middle east with the lavish décor and traditional cooking. Stylish sophisticated design has gone into this renovated building with all the care and attention spent in transforming it into a masterful piece of interior design. The private seating gives your table a secluded feel and the service is pleasant and well worth the experience, additionally they are generous with the serving and extras. There is no service charge added, which makes the whole dining that more worth the trip. Food served in what I would imagine is Moroccan style tangine dishes makes the authenticity that more delightfully exciting, especially if you have never experienced this style of cuisine. I would recommend Burj Al Arab to anyone; I look forward to many repeat visits in the future.

    Burj Al Arab, when literally translated from Arabic, reads 'Tower of the Arabs', and, somewhat…read moreunsurprisingly, has become a favoured name for businesses around the globe, (particularly hotels... with perhaps the most impressive of these being the Burj Al Arab in Dubai). It is fitting that there is a business of the same name on City Road. This area of Cardiff has a large Middle Eastern community, with Kurdish traders on the street outnumbering any other nationality. The Burj Al Arab on City Road is not a hotel however. It is a very elegant restaurant and coffee lounge that occupies a large property that looks like it used to be a pub. Unlike so many of the pubs in Cardiff today, this building is beautifully decorated in cream and brick red, with individual black canopies fanning out over the doors and windows. National flags of many of the Arab nations line a lintel that spans the width of the building beneath the upstairs windows. Pride of place is nevertheless reserved for the Welsh national flag that sits alongside a green ensign with an Arabic inscription. The food served here is clearly of Arabic origin, with tagines and couscous being the most dominantly featured items on the menu. Delicious!
