    The Prince of Wales - Pale Ale

    I visited here on one of the coldest days in Cardiff and had about 3 places in mind to try Welsh…read morefood but decided to give this one a try because it was closest to the train station and I was super hungry. They have a fairly small Welsh menu and I was hoping to try some rarebit but unfortunately they took it off the menu now. So, I had the lamb cawl and beef and cottage pie. The pie was absolutely amazing, one of the best I have had so far. Lamb cawl was mediocre but I didn't have too much expectation from it to begin with. Everything was very reasonably priced and you can order from the table using their app and have the food delivered at the table which was amazing for a small town like Cardiff. The place in itself is amazing, its an old movie theater converted to a pub and like other reviewers mentioned they did not tear down the theater but just built the seating around it (good decision). The seating upstairs is more private and gives a good view of the whole theater.

    Good spot to try some traditional Welsh food, well for a tourist like me anyway. The lamb meatballs…read morewith mash, sauce and peas are very good. All covered in sauce. Light and airy lamb meat balls. The sausage and mash even better, also very light in texture made of leeks and onion. Welsh rarebit comes out proper hot, very good classic. Reasonable prices. Didn't get a chance to try the Welsh fruit cake because the kitchen closed at 10pm. It's a fun, lively pub atmosphere.

    One of things I miss the most about moving to Wales from California is my precious Mexican food. To…read morebe honest, when I first heard about Wahaca I was extremely skeptical at how good it could be but with all the glowing reviews on Yelp I just had to give it a try. I mean, I was getting some serious Mexican food withdrawals and needed a fix. Wahaca scratched my itch straight away and then some - the food here is absolutely gorgeous! Mind, it isn't 100% authentic. It isn't the greasy, heavy, but utterly indulgent Mexican food I'm used to. Wahaca is more of Mexican cuisine with a modern twist but they do pay some pretty accurate homage to the spices and flavours of Mexico; they even apparently have a trusted source in Mexico for certain ingredients. ~ Atmosphere: Wahaca is sneakily massive. When I first walked in, I thought it seemed pretty tiny but there are actually 3 different floors for dining with the top floor having a stocked bar for a bit of lounging as well. Because their toilets are on the top floor, they actually have an ELEVATOR in the restaurant! ~ Customer Service: Really friendly. The waitress asked if we needed any help with figuring out what to order from the menu but since I was already really familiar with Mexican cuisine I didn't need it. However, rest assured if you're new to Mexican food the waitresses are happy to help (don't feel embarrassed to ask!). Food came out pretty quickly and they have a unique system where you can pay using wi-fi as well. ~ Food: The absolute highlight. My partner and I wanted to skip the "ah"s and "um"s with deciding what to order, so we just went for the Wahaca selection for "adventurers" - £32.50 worth of food. It came with: * 2 Salmon Sashimi Tostadas * 3 Pork Pibil Tacos * 1 Large Chipotle Chicken Quesadilla (cut in half) * 2 Pea & Mint Empanadas * Frijoles w/ Chorizo * Broccoli w/ Green Goddess Dressing * Grilled Corn on the Cob * Churros y Chocolate The highlight for the meal for me was DEFINITELY the Salmon Sashimi Tostadas - they were absolutely perfect and the salmon was incredibly fresh! I regret not ordering more! To be honest, when I first looked at the menu for the taster plate I was skeptical about how much I'd enjoy a lot of the other stuff. I thought the broccoli, corn, and frijoles would be a tad boring but I'm so glad I was proven wrong. I never thought that I'd be enjoying just a plate of broccoli so much but it was perfectly cooked and went very well with the dressing. Normally, I'm not a fan of corn on the cob either (I just find them a pain to eat!) but again, Wahaca managed to take something I normally don't like and turn it into something magical. The sauce on the corn was flawless. My least favourite part of the meal were the tacos, but that's only because I've had better (not fair though seeing as I'm from California). However, they were still very delicious. --- The only downside to Wahaca is that I feel it's very pricey and you don't really feel too full at the end either. After we finished our meal, my partner and I were still feeling a bit hungry. I would say that Wahaca isn't great when you're looking for a filling dinner (unless you're willing to pay a lot) but fantastic if you're looking to appreciate food and enjoy different flavours. Even though it was expensive, I couldn't rate anything less than 5 stars since the food here is among the best I've had in Cardiff!

    We visited Wagamama while sight seeing around the Cardiff area. We parked in a near by garage and…read morestrolled over. The restaurant is very welcoming and offers seating inside and out. The tables were very clean. We sat indoors hoping to get out of the sun. The waiter was patient and kind. As out of towners, we had a lot of questions about side dishes and add-ons for our ramen. The food at the next table smelled incredible. We enjoyed: - Pork Gyoza - Shirodashi pork belly ramen with an added tea stained egg, kimchi, chili oil - Tantanmen beef brisket ramen - Cherry blossom lemonade - Cloudy lemonade - Still Water We will definitely be back. We enjoy walking around Cardiff and now have a restaurant we can revisit to try other dishes. On a side note: If at all possible, please have fresh garlic. I dont mind paying for it. As a garlic lover, this would have pushed my soup to the next level of greatness.

They were very attentive and careful when I mentioned a food intolerance which was greatly appreciated. The curry dish I had was tasty, with a subtle heat, but I found the rice strangely undercooked. Isn't that what rice cookers are for, to ensure perfect results? Also, this is a chain that has been around for yonks, so one would think they would have had the most basic Asian food sorted by now. I will certainly go back, as it was tasty and fairly cheap (also I am interested to see if my rice disappointment was a one-off).
