Sandwich shop · Cardiff
Tucked in Morgan Arcade, this is a takeaway baguette counter rather than a sit-down lunch — worth knowing before you promise everyone a chair, because there's nowhere to eat in and no room to park a pram while you queue. And there usually is a queue: it moves quickly, but at 1pm it can stretch down the street, so come either side of the lunch rush or pre-order. The reward is a properly generous sandwich for around £7 — the No.7 with Parma ham, pesto and mozzarella, or the No.6 with truffle mayo and salami crackling — plus a Wednesday roast beef special with peppercorn dipping sauce that regulars rave about. Fillings are made fresh in-house and the combinations are genuinely inventive. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options, and Bute Park is a short walk for eating outside.
