I like to think of myself as fairly knowledgeable when it comes to my home city of Cardiff as far as its history in general and hospitality industry are concerned. So when I was invited to join one of Sian Roberts’ Loving Welsh Food Cosmopolitan food tours - that not only explores the fantastic independent food offerings in the city from all over the world but the stories behind them and the history of Cardiff itself - I was intrigued.
Would I, as a local, learn something new about the city in which I’d lived since I was born? Would I be introduced to a hidden gem? Suffice to say, I was pleasantly surprised. You can read more about Cardiff's food tours here.
The 'Cosmopolitan' tour is named as such because, as Sian tells us, Cardiff was cosmopolitan - meaning, according to the Collins Dictionary, a place or society “full of people from many different countries and cultures” - before the term, coined in the mid 19th Century, was even created.
