Newport city centre has been the site of enormous development and investment over the last few years. One street that has been the recipient of much of the change is High Street. Home to the brand-new market and a refurbished arcade, High Street is also home to a scattering of pubs, independent shops, and music venues.
If you pop along for a Saturday lunchtime bite in the brand-new market, you'll be hard pressed to find somewhere to sit. The popularity is testimony to the range and quality of food on offer; you can get your hands on everything from vegan Thai cuisine to cheesecake in a jar.
The newly-refurbished market opened just a couple of weeks ago, but it has already become a destination. Boasting an impressive range of eateries and around 130 covered seats, the market is already attracting foodies and families every week. On weekends, the whole building is buzzing, and you will need to join a queue to grab food from any of the stalls.
