Portia Jones has rounded up some of our favourite breakfast and brunch spots in the capital
-
BREAKFAST is the most important part of the day and in Cardiff there are a wide selection of cafes, restaurants and cabins where you can feast on bacon baps, fry-ups, pancakes and vegan eats.
We've rounded up some of our favourite breakfast and brunch spots in Cardiff.
In no particular order, here are our top picks in the capital. Let's dig in!
LONGA
Enjoy a top-class, homemade Turkish brunch in a relaxed setting at Longa's Whitchurch Road location. Their awesome brunch and breakfast options are so popular that they are now serving them all day on weekends.
They include dishes such as menemen, consisting of two eggs fried in rich, spiced tomato and pepper sauce and butter, served with Turkish bread. Another brunch favourite at Longa is Shakshuka, fried aubergine and potato in spiced tomato and pepper sauce with paprika. Served with Turkish bread.
■180 Whitchurch Road, CF14 3NB.
CANNA DELI
Located just off King's Road on Pontcanna Mews, Canna Deli is always busy thanks to its covered outdoor area. This local favourite combines flavours from around the world with a Welsh twist. Try the coconut porridge with plum compote or the deviled chestnut mushrooms on toasted sourdough, washed down with coffee.
■Pontcanna Mews, CF11 9DF.
MILKWOOD
One of our favourite breakfast spots in Pontcanna is Milkwood, a dog-friendly neighbourhood bistro and cafe focused on quality Welsh produce and seasonal specials.
By night, the Dusk menu features crafted cocktails, wine, and pizza on Friday and Saturday nights. So you can feast day and night.
We particularly love the Shakshuka dish for breakfast, which features perfectly oozy eggs atop a herby and spiced tomato sauce. Order a cheeky side of chorizo for extra brunching oomph.
■83 Pontcanna Street, CF11 9HS.
