Hiraeth

Popped in earlier this (Saturday) afternoon and unfortunately the place was empty. Some places in Cardiff struggle at lunchtimes and we were on the backend of lunch serving timewise. However, I heard enough about this place when it was in Cowbridge, and have been eager to try it for some time, so we were happy to get a warm welcome, and take our seats. The service was, of course, attentive, but Lewis (who I have since learned co-owns the place, and has appeared on the BBC's Great British Menu) was quietly confident and eloquent in his descriptions of their 3 course lunch menu (Chicken Tea, Aged Cardiganshire Duck and the Duck Egg Crème Caramel - and the lobster corndog addition, which we added). It all sounded fantastic and tasted even better. Each and every dish was beautifully presented and executed. Good wines too. We're eager to visit again to try the full taster and enjoy a more lively evening atmosphere. Highly recommended.
