After reading excellent reviews about Milkwood, I ventured here on my one night in Cardiff. It did NOT disappoint! It was amazing!
Ambiance/service: It is a very small place but is cozy and nice. There is a tiny and cute bar and the staff is very nice. But because it is small I would recommend reserving ahead of time. My server was very helpful in describing the dishes.
Food: To start, I had a Cornish crab and potato rosti with a mustard leaf and chili. Sooo yummy and the crab was super fresh. Then, I had the spiced quail with chicory and red walnut pesto. Delicious! Next, I had the braised ox cheek with smoked pomme purée and Parmesan. Really really good. I also had a side of green beans that were made with garlic and lemon. Simple, but the best green beans I've ever had! Finally, I had a dessert of elderflower jelly, greengage (a European plum), vanilla ice cream, and biscotti. It was delicious! But I also loveeee elderflower so you definitely need to like that to have that dish.
Overall, the food was excellent. I wish I could fly back to Cardiff to have it again! read more
