    Benedito's has to be my all time favourite shop in Cardiff. There are a few close contenders, but I…read morethink that Benedito's wins my affection by a fraction. It's things like the massive oven in the enclosed courtyard out the back, fuelled by gorgeous lumps of wood, used to smoke the hams and joints of meat until they are cured and delicious. And it's the fact that they have a micro arcade in the cellar, boasting a mini pool table, several slots and table football... the incongruity of it all appeals to my sense of quirkiness like a charm.... Remember this is a delicatessen!!! Brilliant! All of these things are typically Portuguese of course, and only appear to be mismatched due to the fact that they are in Cardiff. And that's another thing that I love! They have brought a little slice of Portugal to these Celtic shores, and have erected it like a beacon, unapologetically undiluted, celebrating all that it is, regardless of its locale. Joy! Then there's the food, the Segafredo coffee, and the tables out the back, accessed by a set of steps where you will find at least a couple of Portugese men in a state of repose, sitting silently drawing on cigarettes that deliver thick slices of smoke to their sturdy lungs... it's all entirely exquisite! I love nothing more to while away a peaceful hour with my latte in the yard, or under cover in the purpose built gazebo if it's raining, before returning my cup to the shop, and picking up my basket of goodies that I collected up whilst I was waiting for my coffee to be made. This place offers me a little slither of peace in a congested, fast-paced world. Thank you! In their own words... "We are suppliers of gourment food and fine wines and beers from around the world, with Portuguese produce being our speciality".

    Benedito's is the only Portuguese deli in Cardiff…read more Open for the last 8 years it offers a mouthwatering array of speciality Portuguese food stuffs. These include salt-fish, olives, Portuguese cake and wine. I popped in for some Lupini beans. Since Matt's deli on Clifton street closed I've been hard-pressed to find these salty delights anywhere in Cardiff. And I love them - they're like posh peanuts and are perfect with a beer! Beneditos has got a rustic, friendly feel to it, it's packed from ceiling to floor, even its faux wooden beams drip with salted and smoked garlics and meats. For foodies this is heaven and it's open when many other shops are closed.

    I've moved away from Cardiff now, but I used to live just a five minute walk away and I miss it so…read moremuch. For a small shop, it is super compact and has a really good selection of ambient, fresh and frozen Korean and Japanese products (as well as some from other East and South East Asian countries) when considering the square footage. The prices are all reasonable for imported products, so I've never felt that I was spending too much money. The staff are really friendly. One time, when I was buying a 5kg bag of sushi rice, one of the storekeepers approached me and said that they could keep the bag behind the counter to save me from having to carry it around, which I really appreciated. They're also very approachable, which is good if you're looking for something unfamiliar. This is a family run business which has been in the neighbourhood for over twenty years, and hopefully many more years to come for when I eventually move back to Wales!

    One of my housemates went to Asia in her gap year and really misses the food. So, whenever we…read morestumble across a place that might take her back to those suppers in Japan, we always investigate. This little shop on Woodville Road is run by wonderfully friendly people. (They said hello when we came in, they asked us if we needed any help and they said thank you when we left even though, on that occassion, we didn't buy anything.) The shop itself is bigger than it looks when you first enter and is crammed full of some really exciting looking food. I'm not sure what they're called but the icecream that's coated in some kind of rice... those are good! It's also nice to be able to buy soy sauce in a reasonable sized bottle - the ones you get at the supermarket are ridiculously small. The prices are fantastic, especially considering how far its all been flown, so I was extremely impressed.
