Cardiff’s Pasture Restaurant has been announced as the exclusive catering partner for The Garden VIP area at the Blackweir summer concert series, serving fire-cooked food to guests attending major shows including Teddy Swims and Pitbull.

Cardiff’s food scene is always moving, and just when you think you’ve tried it all, something unexpected appears. Qamariyah isn’t tucked away on a quiet street or off the beaten path, it’s right there in plain sight, but somehow it completely escaped our radar. Inside, it serves some of the most authentic Yemeni food in the city, and it feels just like stepping into a little slice of Yemen in the heart of Cardiff.

FOR Cardiff has announced Parallel Cardiff is the first venue to be crowned St. David’s Favourite, with Daffodil as runner-up. Throughout February the public has been sampling a selection of Welsh-inspired specials at hospitality venues across Cardiff city-centre and voting for their favourite.

I’ll admit it right up front, I had never tried ramen before. I know, I know. Living under a rock, right? But after spending an afternoon at Tonkotsu in London. I feel officially enlightened, converted, and strangely a little obsessed with what’s coming to Cardiff on the 18th of March.

The Welsh Cheese Company will celebrate Wales’ most famous dish this St David’s Day, by launching a month-long Welsh rarebit menu. Each dish will spotlight one of Wales’ finest artisan cheeses, paired with thoughtful seasonal accompaniments that elevate the classic comfort food.

Cardiff matchdays are about more than just what happens on the pitch, and after a preview of the refreshed food and drink offering at Principality Stadium, it’s clear the experience around the action is getting a serious upgrade too. From locally crafted pies and a pint for £13.50, to salt and chilli chicken tenders topped with a proper Chippy Lane style curry sauce, the new concourse menus feel thoughtfully rooted in the city.

FOR Cardiff has unveiled a new St. David’s Day celebration, inspired by the patron saint of Wales’s words “do the little things”. The programme of activities leading up to St David’s Day celebrates Welsh culture through small, joyful moments across the city centre, spotlighting five themes: gastronomy, music, literature, Welsh languageand family.

Donald’s Pies, the cult Welsh pie-and-coffee brand born in Cardiff and inspired by New Zealand’s grab-and-go pie culture, is returning to the London Welsh Centre for a Six Nations 2026 takeover - serving hot pies at the venue during every Wales match.

From indie gems in the Victorian Arcades to new openings in Cardiff Market and big High Street names, the Welsh capital is shaping up as one of the UK’s most exciting festive food and drink destinations this Christmas.
