Little Kochi, Roath, Cardiff: review
On October 21, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanIs there any style of cooking represented in Cardiff with such breadth and range as Keralan? Probably not: arguably more than Spanish or Italian, or Thai, Chinese, French or Pakistani. In the last year alone you could eat it on trestle tables from small vendors’ cardboard trays, or have your pick of lavish multi-course tasting

Dino’s Cafe, Canton, Cardiff: review
On October 12, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanAt first, Dino’s feels like we are on familiar ground. Jacket potatoes with tuna mayo or cheese and beans, omelettes and all-day big breakfasts: it’s a typical menu from any one of the bright, busy little caffs which speckle Canton’s Cowbridge Road East. But look closer. Falafel. Hummus. Shawarma. Lamb kabseh: a smattering of Levantine

The South Kitchen, Broadway, Cardiff: review
On October 8, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanThe South Kitchen is hiding in plain sight on Broadway. It probably doesnt look like your idea of a restaurant. It is easy to miss- I have passed it on foot so many times, and sometimes the front looks shuttered when the side entrance is open. But it’s certainly time you knew about it. The

Eat The Bird, St Mary St, Cardiff
On September 23, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanMoving into the former Grazing Shed on St Mary St, Cardiff’s Eat The Bird is the first opening outside Devon for a small, award-winning group. Fresh from their two silver medals at WingFest, and against notable competition too, you’d hope they have come in earnest. Reading around online though, I was prepared to write what

Al-Madina Mandi, Grangetown, Cardiff: review
On September 18, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanOpen for just over a month as I write this, Clare Road’s Al-Madina is another unadorned, uncomplicated Grangetown find. It’s not just the plastic sheet-covered tables and it-would-be-an-upgrade-to-call-it-bare- bones decor: there’s no social media, no Google listing yet, no invitation evenings with prescribed hashtags and 13 identical captions. How utterly refreshing. The bilingual menu- Arabic

Haraf East African and Mediterranean, Grangetown: review
On September 5, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanThe cutlery at Harafs doesn’t have elegant lines and reassuring weight: it’s a jumble of odds and sods in a canteen style plastic tray. There’s no written menu either, and you’ll probably end up eating with your fingers- there’s a basin by the kitchen if that bothers you- and drinking your soup straight from the
This blog is a very simple thing.
I won’t try to sell you any hand lotion, exercise programmes, coffee syrups or Patagonian nose flutes. You won’t find tips on dating, ‘wellness’ or yoga mats.
I write because I love it (and food, as indicated by my increasing girth). Greed happens to be my Deadly Sin of choice, but at least it is never shy of providing me with subject matter.Â
A simple thing, then: all you get is me wittering on semi-coherently about places I’ve eaten at; hence a ‘restaurant blog’ rather than a ‘food blog’, although there are a few recipes scattered throughout.Â
From mezze to Michelin ‘fine dining’ and all points in between.Â
