Why the Harden’s restaurant guide is unfair to dismiss the food scene in Cardiff and other Welsh cities and towns

I’ve been writing about Cardiff and Wales’ hospitality industry for over a decade and in that time it’s fair to say that the independent restaurant scene has flourished.

As well as acclaimed destination restaurants, the range of more affordable neighbourhood eateries and street food venues continues to get better every year. Award-winning Korean street food , high end southern Indian cooking and Spanish grill houses have all made their mark in towns and cities across the country.
