After the news that it had been forced to delay its opening date by a week as a result of a gas-related issue, small plates restaurant Poca has now announced that it will be open to serve the people of Cardiff from 5pm on Thursday, July 6.
The new Pontcanna-based restaurant is being launched by renowned Cardiff chef Antonio Simone, who heads up Alium in Barry. Poca was set to open its doors on Thursday, June 29, in the former site of the much loved La Cuina, but now plans to open this week.
It revealed the news on Monday, July 3, via Instagram just five days after confirming the postponement with a post that read: "Over the last few days we have been showered with umpteen issues which we have overcome to meet our deadline for opening day. Sadly, we encountered the straw that broke the camel's back. A large issue with the gas supply was identified and it's literally unsafe to open as it stands. So, we have, with a heavy heart, taken the difficult decision to postpone our opening date."
