Sunshine dining - the best al fresco spots
Take a break from the bustle of the centre and grab a table with a view to watch the world go by. There’s fantastic food and drink being served outside - whether you’re after morning coffee, a light lunch or end-of-the-week sundowners.
Wahaca
The colourful blue chairs in The Hayes signal that you've arrived at Mexican market food heaven. Wahaca serves up a taste of sunshine in its quesadillas, platitos and tacos – and has the best beers, margaritas and mojitos to wash down your meal with.

The Ivy Cardiff
If the weather’s right, there’s outdoor seating at The Ivy Cardiff. However, with a light-filled restaurant and bar and beautiful botanical decor, you’ll get the al fresco feel inside or out.
The menu boasts fragrant summer flavours in dishes such as roasted scallops, pea puree, parmesan sauce and grated truffle. A dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu is available on request.

Wagamama
The Wagamama terrace is the ideal place to take in the bustle of city life as you dine on pan-Asian dishes full of fresh coconut, lime and ginger flavours. The fantastic vegan menu has plant-based versions of some of the restaurant's most iconic dishes. Team your food with a refreshing juice, pulped and poured for you.

Kin+Ilk
Recharge mid-shop with a stop at the brilliant Kin+Ilk. There’s sustainably sourced coffee, all-day brunch and artisan bakes and cakes. Don’t miss the Eggs Salvador - two crisp tortillas topped with homemade smokey beans, sour cream, jalapenos and Welsh poached eggs.
