Thai tapas chain Giggling Squid has finally opened its doors in Cardiff - marking the restaurant's first-ever location in Wales. Located in a prime spot on the Hayes and spanning three units, the plans for its arrival was hardly a secret - though its opening date was until the end of May. Despite that, its 150-cover dining room is now booked solid for more than two weeks. Proof, I suppose, that Cardiff is hungry for another Thai restaurant.
Much like Ivy Asia just down the road, the Giggling Squid is decorated to impress. The interior is awash with florals of all colours - they adorn the pink and blue wall paper, contrasting against the pea soup coloured leather booths. A hot pink neon sign hangs against the back wall and faux flowers drape the giant metal bird cages that frame the seating in the front of the restaurant.
