南威爾斯之旅之五:吃什麼



卡地夫之旅跟兩個好友一同前往


出發前輪仔找資料,在衛報找到這篇:
10 budget places to eat in Cardiff

意外地實用呢,出門前用估狗map稍微定位一下地點
結果這次旅行吃到滿好吃的一些小餐館

下面稍微介紹幾家很不錯的,附上衛報的介紹或我們吃過的感想。

Cafe Citta

卡地夫市區有好幾家義大利餐廳,這家是去年新開的。
上面照片就是這家小義大利餐廳,義大利麵還不錯吃,還有窯烤pizza,不過當天去吃的時候,
剛好都想吃麵,所以只點了麵吃,口味很好、麵條軟硬度適中,可惜的是份量挺小的。

• Pasta dishes from £6.50, pizza from £5.95. 4 Church Street, +44 (0)29 2022 4040


Vegetarian Food Studio
這是一家印度飲食店,布置簡單乾淨,口味以素食為主。我們試了捲餅、咖哩等餐點都很好吃。

Few tourists venture down Penarth Road, and those that do could easily walk straight past the VFS. Beyond the rather anonymous old shop front, however, chef-owner Neil Patel's restaurant is a charming space, simply decorated with colourful embroidered tablecloths, religious icons and strings of dried garlic. The predominantly (south) Indian food is a big hit with local vegetarians/vegans; not only is it filling and cheap, but it's supremely tasty. The desi channa is a teasing flavour conundrum, as you try and unpick the precise masala spices and seasonings which have transformed a humble mix of chickpeas and onions into a such a delicious, soul-stirring dish. The VFS also includes a small take-home deli counter stacked with pre-prepared meals and glinting "barfi" sweets.
• Snacks/ small meals £3-£5; main curry with rice around £6.70. 109 Penarth Road, +44 (0)29 2023 8222, vegetarianfoodstudio.co.uk

Gwdihŵ
Gwdihw, Cardiff
這家是以威爾斯俚語的「貓頭鷹」命名的小餐館,裝潢很有二手舊貨店的風格,有舊唱盤、老沙發,還有不少貓頭鷹擺飾。店員非常清切,供應輕食簡餐,但份量一點都不輕食,很足。加了西班牙臘腸chorizo的燉菜很好吃,連配菜的麵包跟起司都很好吃。有小花園,很適合喝點啤酒。

Gwdihŵ (pronounced "goody hoo", it's childish Welsh slang for an owl) is one of those thoroughly modern venues that seeks to morph effortlessly from slouchy daytime hangout to lively late-night bar without missing a beat. After dark, live bands and DJs (the DJ booth is created from an old corner cocktail bar) bring the noise, but by day the main draw is a compact menu of paninis, salads and hot dishes. For tiny bars like this, which don't have a great deal of kitchen space, stews are a great and under utilised option. Gwdihw's lentil and chorizo number (£5.95) is packed with slow-cooked flavour.
• Paninis from £4.50; hot meals from £4.95. 6 Guildford Crescent, +44 (0)29 2039 7933, gwdihw.co.uk

Y Mochyn Du

某天想嘗試威爾斯的pub餐點,想說應該可以吃到威爾斯當地料理,散步走了一會兒才走到這家餐廳,位在住宅區內。但是生意很好,我點的餐點還好,但輪仔點的漢堡跟友人的牛排應該都是威爾斯牛製作的,都很好吃。這裡也適合喝啤酒,有很多威爾斯啤酒喔。(可惜我一喝啤酒就漲氣,不太能喝啤酒。)

A pleasant 20-minute stroll from the city centre, along Victorian villa-lined Cathedral Road, Y Mochyn Du (the Black Pig) is a much-loved pub in an old lodge building at the entrance to Sophia Gardens. It's a pretty spot and there is plenty of outdoor seating but, needless to say, on the day we visited, it was raining. As one local put it, when recommending Y Mochyn Du, it's somewhere that offers visitors a distinct "sense of place". Rugby memorabilia lines the walls, you'll hear Welsh being spoken at the bar, and the affordable daytime snack/sandwich menu features several Welsh dishes (laver bread and cockles, bara brith, rarebit). Welsh ingredients, such as Anglesey's Halen Môn sea salt and Welsh beef, are also featured throughout. The Mochyn Du's cawl is served with some rather pappy sliced white bread, but the lamb and vegetable stew itself is good hearty, home-cooked stuff, with a depth of flavour to the gravy. There's a decent selection of Welsh ales, too – if it's on, the Otley 01 is very good (half, £1.40) – and the staff are winningly friendly.
• Sandwiches/light meals £3.50-£7. Sophia Close, off Cathedral Road, +44 (0)29 2037 1599
Servini's
這是只經營上午的早餐店,早餐很豐盛,連簡單的荷包蛋都好吃啦。

A stone's throw from the Millennium Stadium, the central station and many local hotels, Servini's is a useful refuge for those keen to swerve the crowds on Cardiff's main drags. A neat, traditional family-run cafe (all Formica, Sarson's vinegar and chart hits on the radio), it's renowned for its breakfasts and hot baguettes, the fillings for which range from spicy merguez sausage to, in the "Triple Crown", bacon, onions, mushrooms and black pudding. Servini's also does interesting daily specials, like ragu with fresh pasta, and don't miss their dense, moist scone-like Welsh cakes (60p, takeaway). Unusually, they're baked not with raisins or currents, but with glacé cherries. Purists may object, but they taste fantastic.
• Full breakfast £4.50, baguettes from £2.70. 6-10 Wyndham Arcade, +44 (0)29 2039 4054, servinis-snackbar.co.uk
