Food lovers in Cardiff never have too long to wait for a new restaurant to set up shop in the city and the last six months or so have been no different. Despite tough pressures facing the industry with the cost of living crisis, a number of exciting new bars, restaurants and cafes arrived in the capital in 2022, offering a range of different cuisines and packed menus ready to be explored.
While some of these places seemed to open up almost overnight, others had plenty of hype around them before their grand opening. Popular chains such as Ivy Asia, Flight Club and Franco Manca are just some of the new arrivals in the city that had built up a cult following thanks to their other venues around the UK.
The big question, is however, do these new restaurants live up to expectations? Get the latest Food and Drink news from across Cardiff sent straight to your inbox for free by signing up to our newsletter.
