Now that the sunshine has arrived, fancy a seasonal Turkish meal at Bosphorus down Cardiff Bay? Tough… it’s gone! And, just when Cardiff is beginning to drown under the tide of coffee shops, it’s been replaced by… you guessed it…
At least it is a local confection, not just another national chain (though I still pledge my allegiance to Coffee#1). Stepping inside, this does happen to capitalise on its location, with a light and airy feel, as well as seats outside…
And, if you are prepared to part with something approaching London style prices, there are some interesting twists on the coffee menu…
The Gingerbread Cappuccino and Hazelnut Bueno Latte were certainly two temptations worthy of taking out a mortgage on…
With occasional live music (currently only on Bank Holidays) for those needing to be entertained, and the offer of giant pasties for the peckish, this looks like a worthy addition to the Mermaid Quay pleasure emporium.
Or, if you are a bit strapped for cash, there is always a timely reminder of other ways to satisfy some of your needs…
Until we speak again, any clue as to where I am going to get a proper Turkish Kofte Kebab these days?
Istanbul
A bit of an expensive kebab that one. But it is on my list for visiting.
