The Octopus Diaries

ON THE BLOG | Last Saturday saw the launch of #Cardiff's latest fine dining restaurant - @thomaspontcanna. Relaxed sophistication, down to earth fine dining- it’s far from pretentious, but it will set you back a few quid. Is it worth the price tag? octopusdiaries.co.uk/thomas-pontcan…

@cleanplateblog @J0hn_Cook In the nicest way, don't bother - expensive for what you got, wasn't good. Better off at The Stable if that's the case.

@J0hn_Cook Franco Manca? Seems decent enough.

My 15 year old daughter is looking for somewhere to go for lunch in Cardiff tomorrow. What places do you all recommend!?

We said we'd have a treat for you. As we've just added Mowlana to our main site listings, here's an offer you shouldn't pass up. Until the end of July, you will get *20% off* your final bill if you mention "Find My Dine" OR show them this post. Told you it was good....

New opening days, new hours, new '3 for £22' offer. The 'warm welcome and lovely things to eat' bit is the same as always, though. What are you waiting for?

What if we told you there was a Cardiff restaurant ...which was the only one of its type ...which was vegetarian & vegan-friendly ...while serving some excellent grilled meat dishes ...which lets you BYO ...with no corkage fee Welcome to Mowlana! findmydine.co.uk/restaurants/mo…

For us- and we know lots of you feel the same- @RocketRye is the epitome of the hapoy, welcoming local restaurant: the sort of place you wish you had in your postcode. Have a read below and give them your vote if you agree. (Oh, and book dinner, too- you deserve a treat!)

I dislike shouty, exaggerated InstaBollocks. You know, where the average is 'fantastic', the good is 'incredible' or 'amazing' and the clever is 'genius mate!' So bear that in mind when I tell you that Wilson's is, simply, absolutely *extraordinary*. wp.me/paI54J-3jf

@cleanplateblog They also appear to have an awful lot of followers after only 21 posts 🤔 #whenwillpeoplelearn

Had the new tacos in Kong's. Rather good. If any of my lady friends want to try, I'm more than happy to take you up the Wrong Un's.

With Poca set to open soon, Antonio Simone is one of the busiest men in local hospitality. But in the spirit of indies supporting indies, he sat down to chat about moving to the area, the new menu, new neighbours and his tribute to La Cuina. Read on... findmydine.co.uk/interview-chef…

What a wonderful review for @HeaneysCardiff from none other than @WilliamSitwell. 'For that lamb, Cardiff should give Tommy the keys to the city'.

The RibWich is a go! Now available @Goodshedsbarry BBQ pork rib patty, coleslaw & our awesome pickles piled into a soft sub roll

Three courses, £30. Still a couple of places available so be quick, because you know how good @AliumBarry is...

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner ❤️ We have tables available with what promises to be some exceptional 6 week dry aged beef from our friends at Three Pools Farm 💛 Vegetarian menu also available 💚 Rocketrye.co.uk

Is it too early to be thinking of @HeaneysCardiff oysters..? 🤔
