Monty's Sandwich Bar
9a Thornhill Road, Rhiwbina, Cardiff, CF14 6PD. TEL: 029 2076 6437
BLINK and you'll miss Monty's. It is tucked away in a discreet unit within a small parade up on Thornhill Road, Rhiwbina. I was given a warm welcome on my arrival but I didn't know what to have and was gently pointed in the direction of Monty's Milano Panini. As my sandwich was being constructed, I was regularly consulted on how much of this or how little of that I would prefer from the counter, which was a nice touch. The Milano filling included soft mozzarella cheese, tomato and basil, all toasted until you had a molten mouthful of Italy. Mine was beautifully presented with a carefully arranged side salad and toasted to perfection. I left an empty plate in rapid time. The Milano was not at all expensive for a deli-style panini either, priced at £2.65. There was plenty of change left over for three Welsh cakes for £1 and a drink for £1 from the fridge. As well as its pricing, Monty's strength is its people. It has a loyal clientele and embraces its customers. Magazines are sprawled out for waiting customers and there is plenty of laugh-out-loud chit-chat. It's almost like a barber shop that does paninis and sandwiches. And very nice ones at that.
