Ah summer. It's been a while. But you have well and truly made an entrance with a whopping great heatwave to make us feel like we're on the Costa del Sol as we sit and dine al fresco. There are food festivals aplenty - Cardiff's is on the first weekend of July while the Big Welsh Bite is coming this August - restaurant openings happening left, right and centre and dining outside is becoming more of an opportunity.
With that, we thought it'd be a great chance to round up some of our favourite spots up and down the country you must add to your foodie bucket list this summer.
Here in Wales, we don't just have great food but great produce too, and we're lucky to have access to some incredible local ingredients that many of our restaurants and chefs take full advantage of - from seaweed and oysters to leeks, lambs and strawberries; the flora of our lush country is bountiful.
