Eating & Drinking » Restaurant » Italian & Pizza Restaurants in Cardiff
Tommowinnie wrote on 17-06-2008 “I rate this restaurant highly. Went there a couple of months ago on a Sunday afternoon after a hectic week and weekend and had the most chilled out, blissful time. First off, the decor is great - modern but warm at the same time. There are great big lamps hanging from the ceiling giving off just...” more...
Eating & Drinking » Restaurant » Turkish Restaurants in Cardiff
Tommowinnie wrote on 10-07-2008 “Troy is a true hidden gem. Just down from Tenkaitchi on City Rd, Troy is an authentic Turkish restaurant/Meze bar specialising in Kebabs of all shapes and sizes. You can eat in or take out and get great service with both. Our first experience (me and Mog) was a take out and I had a delicious...” more...
Eating & Drinking » Restaurant » Thai Restaurants in Roath
Tommowinnie wrote on 19-09-2010 “Thai Thai is wonderful but, worryingly, it doesn't seem to get a lot of trade and is almost always empty when you walk or drive past and this is a real worry as to lose it would be a crying shame. The food here is fabulous. Authentic, fragrant, flavoursome, delicious, beautifully presented...the...” more...
Eating & Drinking » Restaurant » Chinese Restaurants in Roath
Tommowinnie wrote on 10-07-2008 “Great chinese food. Get it here! It's important to go on the weekend. Wednesday onward is great. Saturday in particular. The king prawn coconut curry dish is particularly good. They give you free prawn crackers and dips - result! And with the mixed hors d'ourves you get a little salt statue of...” more...
Eating & Drinking » Restaurant » Italian & Pizza Restaurants in Cardiff
Tommowinnie wrote on 10-07-2008 “Zizzi is a fantastic Italian Restaurant. It's got glamour, grace and good food. The decor is swish and swanky, the menu is appetising and extensive and the quality of food, wine and service is second to none. I can heartily recomend the wild mushroom ravioli - it's fabulous. The portion size is...” more...
Shopping » Food & Drink » Farmer's Markets in Cardiff
Tommowinnie wrote on 15-07-2008 “The Roath Food Market on a Saturday morning is sister market to Sunday morning's ever popular Riverside Market and though it isn't as big or as well-established, it's still fantastic. I popped along recently with £15 in my pocket, a vague sense of excitement and no real ideas of what i wanted and...” more...
Eating & Drinking » Restaurant » Japanese & Sushi Restaurants in Cardiff
Tommowinnie wrote on 17-07-2008 “Zushi is the only sushi restaurant in Cardiff with a revolving belt. It's got the proper fast-food element of sushi, which is great. You can also grab a take-out Bento Box full of yummy stuff to have for your lunch or tea. Mmmmmmm. You can either order from the menu or grab something from the...” more...
Eating & Drinking » Restaurant in Cardiff
Tommowinnie wrote on 17-07-2008 “When it's good it's very very good and when it's bad, it's a real shame. The Armless Dragon is always a surprise to first timers. Hidden between Cathays and Roath, it's quite different fro any other eatery in Cardiff. The starter menu is divided in three - sea, land and earth (fish, meat and...” more...
Eating & Drinking » Fastfood and Takeaway in Splott
Tommowinnie wrote on 17-07-2008 “Oh how I love Superstar Fish Bar (here we go!). The best curry and chips in Cardiff. Shame they don't do gravy and chips, but you can't have it all i guess. The staff even have Superstar Fish Bar T-Shirts! I want one. You get LOADS of lovely big fat chips for your money and the curry is...” more...

Tommowinnie wrote on 21-07-2008 “In my opinion, hands down the best Japanese restaurant in Cardiff. The food here is delicious and you get great value for money. The staff are very friendly, the decor is pleasing to the eye and the food is amazing (did I say that the food was amazing yet?). Went on Saturday for a friend's...” more...
Tommowinnie wrote on 21-07-2008 “I love Riverside Market. The stalls nearly all offer fresh Welsh produce that make you feel healthier and more environmentally friendly and socially responsible just by looking at it! The fresh fish stall is fantastic, the meat stalls are all equally good and the veg is all straight out of the...” more...
Eating & Drinking » Restaurant in Penarth
Tommowinnie wrote on 29-07-2008 “You smell the food the minute you walk in. And it's a gooooood smell. You grab a drink, take a seat, go to the counter and order your fish or your meat, tell the chef how you want it cooked and what sauce to add and then it's delivered to your table in all its glory. This restaurant, on the...” more...
Eating & Drinking » Restaurant » Brasseries in Cardiff
Tommowinnie wrote on 02-08-2008 “If everywhere's closed, in your neighbourhood, where you gonna go? To Charlestons! Down the bottom of chippie alley, there's a pink neon sign above a black doorway - it's very easy to miss - hiding one of Cardiff's legendary steakhouses. Legendary because of Dennis, the ancient greek waiter who...” more...

It has 3 levels; the bar on the ground floor, a small seating area with sofa and quiz machine half way up the stairs and then a top floor with lots of seating, TVs and 3 pool tables.

Tommowinnie wrote on 02-08-2008 “Ah, the Tavvi. Huge outdoor area at the back and, get this, a smokers paradise in the form of an outdoor lounge! I kid you not - there's a little undercover bit with a TV, sofa and gas fires for winter! It's FAB. Inside there are two rooms; a large bar to the front and a snug lounge at the back...” more...

Tommowinnie wrote on 02-08-2008 “The Funky Buddha is swish, eclectic, relaxed and different and in a world of awful chain pubs, that sure is a breath of fresh air. They serve lush food and it's not a Brains place, so there's a wide range of drinks on offer that's not the usual offer. It's a great place to start your night. The...” more...

Full to the brim with delictible, delicious food stuff from around the world, if you're adventurous in cooking, you need this place. The collection of curry pastes is mind blowing (and will blow the taste buds off your tongue if you're not careful). ...” more...
Shopping » Antiques in Cardiff
Tommowinnie wrote on 03-08-2008 “What a great place - an antiques market that doesn't only do antiques - there are old photo stalls, they sell lamps and clothes and memorabilia - if you have a day off and you're wondering what to do, take a trip to the past in Jacob's market. Oooh, take your wallet as well. The cafe, by the way,...” more...
