La’Shish, City Road, Cardiff
On January 18, 2015 by The Plate Licked Clean‘Fusion’ is still a thing, isn’t it? I ask only because there have been a few sightings locally of unlikely culinary marriages, of cuisines you wouldn’t normally associate.

Pitch Bar & Eatery, Mill Lane, Cardiff
On January 4, 2015 by The Plate Licked CleanWe should give ourselves cool names. Burger Buccaneers, perhaps. Patty Pioneers. Fry Fiends… OH JUST GET ON WITH IT.

The ASSL where I spent three years reading books and showing off about them (well, it beats working in a toothpaste factory) looms in the mid-distance. Of course, in my day, witter gibber moan… With a tagline of ‘Frankly

Falafel Wales, Cowbridge Rd East, Canton, Cardiff
On August 30, 2014 by The Plate Licked CleanAnother day, another recommendation for our quest to find great value food in the city. Falafel Wales has caught my eye before- I am strangely attracted to the scuffed intrigue of Canton’s streets- but a hearty thumbs up from former food blogger Cardiff Bites had us beating a path to its door. This time, I
