Was supposed to go to another restaurant, but that one was full so decided to come to Brava and was…read morenot disappointed at all. By the way, they take Covid measures very seriously here which is a nice change from London. I ordered their classic Welsh Breakfast (I believe it is called "Meaty") and it came with an assortment of items like a classic English breakfast. All the items were very okay but I really liked the bacon though which had a bit of a fattiness to it and was pretty thick cut. I will say that that is probably the only thing on the plate with natural flavor so just be mindful of that so you can eat it with everything. Overall, not a bad meal in Cardiff and +1 for the cheap prices. I think I'm just not a huge English breakfast person but if you are, you will probably love this cute little place.

Positives: I have…read morebeen to Brava twice for full Welsh breakfast - which was great - properly cooked very tasty - lovely sausages. I also went there for an evening meal - I had lamb shank - again it was lovely - very succulent and had a nice glass (es) of wine too. The evening is less busy and the staff had more time to be friendly. Negatives: Breakfast time is very busy and I felt very cramped and rushed. I didn't feel relaxed and it got on my nerves. It's a little on the pricey side but hey this is Pontcanna - its the price you pay for trendy town. Overall - go there if you want a good evening meal and breakfast but expect it to be full and not as cheap as a greasy spoon in Canton.

They serve different cakes through the week, which helps you find something different to taste with your drink when you go back there. But the best reason to visit the place is the food: Stuart and Dorothy are working hard to give you a delicious meal for a very reasonnable price. With dishes inspired from traditional french meals and a twist of welsh cooking, this is a very good place to eat lunch. Just be sure to check their Facebook page or their website to know what the day specials are - coq au vin, beef bourguinon, pâté en croute, tartiflette - all homemade! They also offer a special "Sunday lunch" which is halfway between the traditionnal Sunday roast and the french pot-au-feu. There's plenty to eat and it's really good food. The place is quite small but the music (french, of course!) and the decor, are really nice - I was really impressed by the chandeliers! If you go to Cardiff and visit the Albany Road area, this place is definitely worth a try.

It's hard to pinpoint it's importance, or at least the importance I attribute to it... I guess it must be a sum of all its parts rather than one thing in particular... or something like that? Put it this way, if it ceased to be there, the place just wouldn't be the same... there would be something missing, something small, but nevertheless significant. Is it the true blue support that the café invests in Bristol City, with memorabilia adorning the walls? Or is it that it harkens back to yesteryear, when things were simpler, and just that little bit more 'cosy'? Or is it that Sue's Breakfast Bar is practically the only eatery left on the street that seems to celebrate the morning as it begins, instead of something that happens at the drunken tail-end of a night out? Or is it the simple comfort food made with care that warms the cockles of my heart? And the prices? The prices that also seem to have weathered the vicissitudes of time? Yes, it's a combination of all of these things. That and the chicken and stuffing dinner for £4.00 followed by cherry pie and custard.

I recommend this place if you want a nice light meal and some delicious veg that tastes like you picked it from your own backyard. The atmosphere feels like Berkeley in the 90s and I was pleasantly surprised by each salad.

It is a deli that serves a good selection of artisan, with a very local flare, food. I had Welsh Rarebit along with a Lemon Tart. Both were nicely presented on a slate plate and tasted great. The food is more expensive that you might like to pay but it is Pontcanna and the food is a notch up from your typical deli. There is seating both inside and out which is OK in the summer, but I am guessing it would be hard to find seating on a wet day.
