Graze

In a city as glorious as Cardiff, it can be difficult to compete in the culinary department. Enter Graze: a breath of fresh air.

This recently opened restaurant has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and is perfectly placed in the city centre. Check out the mouth-watering menu for top-notch Welsh produce from start to finish. And bravo for also accommodating vegans; all the vegan dishes here are a clear labour of love.

The epic Graze boards cover a variety of cuisines and are ideal if you want to try a bit of everything. There’s a farm-cured meat board, a vegan grazing board and a seafood grazing board on the menu, each with the usual forage, dip, crack and fromage accompaniments.

The à la carte menu is also clever, featuring all locally sourced ingredients. Expect a range of dishes from individual boards, grazing boards, and Welsh steak. It’s eclectic in the finest way; think tempura monkfish, char-grilled thighs, and Middle Eastern cauliflower wrap.

Winner of Best Newcomer at the Cardiff Life Awards, the restaurant has become the little black book of the city’s culinary favourites.
