Head to Heaneys in Pontcanna for a casual yet refined diningexperience in a contemporary urban space. Opened by Great British Menu finalist Tommy Heaney in October 2018, the daily- rotating menu features a selection of sharing plates using innovative, expertly combined ingredients. Standouts on our visit include a starter of Marmite butter, sourdough and duck ham slices, plus mains of cured sea bass with horseradish sorbet, crispy quail ‘nuggets’ and birch-smoked Welsh lamb. Desserts are equally inventive – in one dish, a blanket of Earl Grey custard gives way to soft apple crumble with a hidden blackberry sorbet centre. 10- course tasting menu.

This has the most decidedly unglamorous address – Her
Majesty’s Prison, Knox Road, Cardiff – and is staffed by
serving ‘guests’ of said establishment. It has been lauded as one of the best fine dining restaurants in Wales, with a bright, buzzy and welcoming interior. The menu offers riffs on classic dishes made with seasonally appropriate ingredients, many grown on the Prescoed prison farm.

This restaurant in Cardiff Bay proves that anything – from the humble omelette to the cherry Bakewell – can become a thing of beauty in the hands of a genuine artisan, and that no big chain can compete with a family of dedicated caterers. The hog and hen (sausage, egg ans bacon baguette) followed by a chocolate & Malteser cupcake are sheer bliss.

Twenty years ago, Russell Bullimore (no prizes for guessing
his nickname) opened a classic French-style bistro to
showcase the kind of food that he loved, and no one has
grown tired of it since. A meticulously sourced list of wines
hand-picked from appellations all over France helps to
complete the authentic Gallic mood, aided no end by a
randomly assembled, themeless art collection that calls to
mind semi-fictional Parisian brasseries where penniless
artists paid for food with their canvasses. Starters from £5,

Park House has become Cardiff’s restaurant yardstick since opening in 2005, not least for its afternoon teas. A precise, contemporary establishment run under recently appointed head chef, Matt Walfron, with a modern vitality to the variety of menus found in Park House’s celebrated, oak-panelled, Bruge dining room. This antique/modish marriage is echoed in the Vanilla Rooms cocktail bar, which couldn’t be more ‘now’ if they’d hired Cara Delevingne to mix the mojitos with a Little Book of Hygge under her arm. Five-course tasting menu £55.

An expansive, industrial-look interior gives this address on
increasingly gourmand Whitchurch Street the retro-fit vibe of a New York art gallery circa 1989. There’s influence too from Bristol, just across the River Severn, where the proprietors Tim Moores and Dom Wood also own Urban Standard and North Street Standard. The menu is designed to be enjoyed by friends huddled around a table, sharing pork or seafood platters washed down with a pint or two of locally brewed Pipes Beer. Extra points for the “Mactorious P.I.G.” sandwich. Starters from £4.50, sharing platters £14.90.

This is the result of several years of evolution and
development by husband-and-wife team Rhys and Laura
Keogh, who took over The Pot when it was an unassuming
café. Word quickly spread about their new, hearty cassoulets and bouillabaisse – and suddenly, 25 covers wasn’t enough. They’re now packing them in at their new location on Whitchurch Road, while the original venue has been re-reimagined as an upmarket café named, rather sweetly, Arty’s Kitchen, after their son. Breakfast from £5.50, main courses from £8.50.

The name Anand George is whispered with sacred reverence in Cardiff. Learning his craft over many gruelling hours back home in Kochi, Kerala (and in some of the best kitchens in London), George set up the Purple Poppadom in Cardiff’s vibrant Canton district in 2007.

Read all about it in George’s first cookbook, The 5,000 Mile Journey. Mains from £13.50, seven- course tasting menu £49.95.
