Thomas, the brasserie

About Thomas, the brasserie

Tucked into Pontcanna with free parking outside, this is a step up from the usual family lunch — French-leaning cooking, small sophisticated plates, and prices to match, so it suits a birthday or a treat more than a weekly outing. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and room to get a buggy in, and the staff are the kind who notice an occasion and quietly do something about it. Food comes beautifully presented without fuss: Tom's chips get talked about constantly, the scallops and the mushroom parfait draw raves, and the peanut butter parfait is worth saving room for. Sunday lunch at around £20 is genuinely good value and the room fills up, so book. Dogs are welcome too. Spotlessly clean throughout — one family noted even the toilets get proper attention.
