Restaurant · Cardiff
Sat down by the bay, this is an easy one to bring children to — big windows, views over the water, room for a pram, and a proper kids' menu with high chairs to hand. The burgers are what people come back for: juicy patties, a soft bun that holds together, crispy onion rings alongside. Chicken tenders get raved about too, and there are good gluten-free and vegan options, though coeliac drinkers will find the beer choice thin. Lunch deals hover around £12 for a burger, side and a drink, but à la carte burgers run to £14, so it leans a little pricey. Ordering is by QR code, which not everyone loves. Staff are patient — one family with a fussy nine-year-old said their daughter wanted to return just for the person who talked her through the menu.
