KIN+ILK Top Picks, Part 2
We have previously written a blog about the top places to eat, drink and relax in Cardiff. Since then we have asked our staff their favourite places to go (obviously apart from KIN+ILK…) Here are our top picks! If you’d like to read our previous top picks blog please click here.
1. Uisce by Heaney's- @Uiscebyheaneys
Uisce (pronounced ish-ka) by Heaney's, is the brainchild of the renowned Great British Menu Chef Tommy Heaney. Nestled next to his first restaurant, Heaney's, the cafe and wine bar offers a relaxed and laid-back setting. The name "Uisce" comes from the Gaelic word for water, symbolising its significance as the source of everything - wine, food, and life! They offer delicious nibbles, cocktails and wines - a local favourite.
2. The Bottle Shop - @thebottleshopcardiff
The Bottle Shop is a must-visit independent wine merchant in Cardiff. They take pride in stocking quality beers and wines from around the world. Whether you have a favourite or need a recommendation, the knowledgeable staff will gladly assist you. The Bottle Shop has two sites, Roath and Pontcanna and both offer outdoor seating to indulge in sunlight whilst enjoying delicious beers/wines.
Nook is opposite Victoria Park in Canton, they offer incredible natural wines and sharing plates. They place a strong emphasis on sourcing authentic and high-quality ingredients, making every dish a delightful experience. Nook is currently holding a summer residency in Llandaff Rowing Club called ‘Nook by the River’ where you can treat yourself to their small plates in a gorgeous location.
4. New York Deli - @newyorkdelicardiff
New York Deli, which was established in 1990 are famous for its generous portions and real American-style sandwiches, which include a massive selection of vegan options. Their site is a Cardiff institution and a staple to the city. New York Deli is based in Duke St Arcade, you are also able to order their sandwiches online via their website.
Hanoi 1991, established in 2017 and located in Royal Arcade offers incredible sandwiches, Pho and their famous egg coffees! If you are strolling through Cardiff and fancy a bite to eat, we recommend their Banh Mi sandwiches or the beef Pho. They have a huge range of coffees including the classic Vietnamese egg coffee which is made with egg yolk and condensed milk, deliciously silky and creamy!
