LLANDAFF
Mulberry Street restaurant
Having heard great things about Mulberry Street restaurant in Llandaff, we decided to step a little bit out of our comfort zone of the Vale and head off into the quaint, but sophisticated, village of Llandaff to see for ourselves what all the fuss was about.
Mulberry Street restaurant is on the High Street and sits very well with other high quality businesses including a florist, hair salon, coffee shops and gift shops. I spent a good few hours in the morning divesting Mr Roberts of his hard earned cash and we then popped into Mulberry Street for lunch.
What immediately struck us was the decor. Pure sophistication. The same could equally be said about the staff who greeted us warmly and showed us to our table. There was a choice of menus, the a la carte, special lunch menu and our choice of ‘Little Dishes’, Mulberry Street’s take on tapas.
I went with the rare tuna niçoise, calamari fritti and hot smoked salmon. Mr Roberts couldn’t resist the meatballs with spicy tomato sauce, lamb kofta and his all time favourite of pan fried chicken livers.
We accompanied our tapas choices with a broad bean and pecorino risotto.
The owner obviously has a keen eye for fine wines with an extensive selection of wines and champagne on offer. The knowledgeable staff member suggested an Italian Gavi di Gavi to complement our menu choices perfectly. I can quite easily understand why Mulberry Street is a regular haunt for Welsh celebrities. It may be its proximity to the BBC, but I would guess it’s more likely due to the outstanding food, the ambience and the impeccable service.
Open for lunch (12 noon to 2pm) and dinner (6.30pm to 10pm) Tuesday to Saturday with special lunch time offers available.
