A new Parisian-style cafe owned by the family behind the Coffee Barker franchise - which includes Gin and Juice, Rum and Fizz and Barker Teahouse - is finally opening its doors after months of renovation and preparation. Maison De Boeuf, which announced it would be bringing its food to Castle Arcade in May 2022 under a different name (Maison Entrecôte), will open its doors on Friday, May 12, in the former location of Madame Fromage.
Specialising in steak-frites, it will be dousing the Welsh capital in French romance with a prix-fixe set menu built around a main course which consists of PGI Welsh beef steak, frites (fries) and a secret Barker sauce.
No French menu is complete without the addition of cheese (in this instance twice-baked smoked cheese souffle), French onion soup and escargot - aka snails - as well as French wine and cocktails.
