Come Dine With Me: The Professionals hits Wales this week with three restaurants hoping to win a grand in prize money as well as the honour of walking away as champion of the episode. The venues taking part on Thursday, July 21 are Cardiff taco kings, La Pantera, steak house The Gate from Llanfrechfa and The Horse and Jockey from Pontypool.
Their styles of menu are all different and dishes cooked on the show will see Welsh lamb and mackerel tacos, steak and seafood classics and traditional gastropub-grub.
But what's on offer at the venues themselves? Let's take a look.
La Pantera, Quay Street, Cardiff
What's on the menu? Tacos of course! But not any old tacos. For example, their latest menu - it changes regularly - you'll get Thai pork style patties taco or a smoked salmon roulade taco. They are also famous for their Big Tac taco, a taco-y take on the McDonald's classic. And they do slushy cocktails. They also change regularly and are lush. Read more on the La Pantera team, here.
Price : £8 for tacos, sides from £3 and beers and cocktails vary.
Opening hours: Wednesdays to Sundays.
The Gate, Llanfrechfa, Cwmbran
What's on the menu? High-quality steaks and seafood according to the website and the menu alters regularly so keep an eye on it if you are visiting. Past options included fresh scallops and dressed Devon crab for starters and fresh pollack and whole baked lobster.
Price : Starters go from £6 and while main course prices vary depending on what fish you go for, the baked lobster is £48.
Opening hours: Tuesdays to Sundays.
