Can anyone recommend a restaurant in Cardiff? Will be in Cardiff in a couple of weeks time, so I need to book a decent restaurant for my wife and I. We're both fans of Thai, Indian, chinese, english and European food, and neither of us are particularly keen on fish. Not looking for anywhere too expensive, budget for a meal for two is around £100-150.

We're staying in the centre so anywhere within walking distance would be great.

Thanks

I think there's a few good bars/restaurants by the Brewery Quarter in Queen's Street from what I remember, worth a walk down there at least. Plus you're close to Chippy Alley should you still be hungry later wink

My favourite when I worked in Cardiff was Le Monde, but couple of years since I've been there.

The outcome:

Nice place/atmosphere, nice staff but as above, the food was bland, cheap and average and it was overpriced.

6/10
