With fewer than a dozen high-end restaurants, Alt.Cardiff asked if the capital lacks fine dining<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Fine
The Beach House, Oxwich, brings Swansea and Cardiff level on Michelin stars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Restaurant James Sommerin, which retained its Michelin star<\/a> for 2020, is still the only restaurant in the Cardiff area to achieve the coveted accolade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the promotion of the Beach House<\/a> in Oxwich to one-star, the Swansea area has now pulled level with the capital. Across the water, Bristol outnumbers Cardiff four stars to one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The star tally isn\u2019t the complete picture, of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 10 other restaurants in Cardiff and Penarth that feature in the Michelin Guide<\/a>, the marque of haute cuisine that sits just below the lauded star rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city centre hosts only three<\/a> of these, so there aren\u2019t a great deal of options available without taking a trip across the city, or further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with a culinary scene bursting with street food vendors, affordable independent restaurants and an entire alleyway devoted to chippies, Cardiffians could understandably see no need for more posh restaurants in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find out whether there should be more high-end restaurants in the city, the public were asked to give their opinion about Cardiff\u2019s fine dining scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are plenty of places to eat fine dining but if one would just like, say, a Sunday roast, you will not find one. You can find alternatives, but not a British roast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chloe Taylor, 17, Beauty Therapist, Dinas Powys<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that there\u2019s a wide variety of places and I do really enjoy some of them, I just think they are overpriced for students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like it… I can find any restaurant I want here in Cardiff. It\u2019s very good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI quite like it, I\u2019ve been to a fair few places with my wife and we regularly go to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laura Madden, 25, Supply Teacher, Pontcanna<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve only been able to get either chain meals or nice-ish, independent meals. To get fine dining I\u2019ve had to venture out into different areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beth Hopkins, 28, Park Ranger, Bridgend<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t come to Cardiff very often. When I do come out, I tend to go to chain restaurants and I always find somewhere nice to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma Popham, 22, Student, Pontyclun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there are many independent, great restaurants in Cardiff, especially in comparison to where I go to Uni, in Newcastle. Cardiff really needs to work on its fine dining scene. It\u2019s quite standard, the sort of meal you could get anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenvin Jones, 70, Retired, Pontypridd<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAverage. I prefer to go out of town, there\u2019s more choice and fewer undesirables”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
