Guidebook for Cardiff
Food Scene
There are a few nice coffee shops (coffee #1), cafes (coffee cake) and low key places to eat (juno lounge, pear tree, cameo club, Chaiholics, etc ) on this road. It is a five minute drive with parking on the road too.
They have the BEST ice cream ever at Joe's!! I grew up on this stuff. My fav is the chocolate marshmallow sundae with sprinkles. Yum!
The cameo club offers a delish Sunday roast too!

Amazing tapas, gin and cocktails!
It's always a fab place to start. It's opposite the stadium too. The food is gorgeous and it's sometimes nice to have picky food before a big night out. I'd recommend the crispy hake, croquettas, patatas bravas.
You'll need to book on the weekend though! You can do this online too.

Gorgeous any time of year. Great to come for a walk/mooch around or food and drinks.
Can also hire bikes on the barrage and pedal over to penarth and back. Or you can get the boat to Cardiff or Penarth. There is also a speed boat around the bay which is loads of fun. There’s a cinema and bowling down the bay too.

The bay is gorgeous! Loads of cafes and restaurants. It's fab to go on a sunny day to watch the water and boats. I'd recommend walking over the barrage to Penarth or even getting the boat. And then go for lunch or dinner at Custom House. Their Sunday Roasts are amazing! You'll need to book though...

Gorgeous park with some cafes dotted throughout, right in the grounds of the castle. I'd recommend afternoon tea at the Pettigrew tearooms at the entrance to the park. Delish!
