Restaurant · Cardiff
Somewhere between a proper restaurant and a lovely secret, this is a training kitchen where students cook and serve — which explains why six courses can arrive at a price that makes you check the bill twice. The dining room is calm and unhurried, presentation is genuinely beautiful, and the young chefs often come out to ask how it went, which children tend to find fascinating. Practically, it's set up for families: a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking. Rump of lamb comes in for particular praise for melting apart. Two honest snags — you'll need to book, and because it runs on a set menu you may find a dish or two unavailable, with vegetarian choices on the thinner side. Worth planning around rather than dropping into.
