ON THE BLOG | Last Saturday saw the launch of #Cardiff's latest fine dining restaurant - @thomaspontcanna. Relaxed sophistication, down to earth fine dining- it’s far from pretentious, but it will set you back a few quid. Is it worth the price tag? https://t.co/DZ9d7FIldj

New opening days, new hours, new '3 for £22' offer. The 'warm welcome and lovely things to eat' bit is the same as always, though. What are you waiting for?
We are back open on Thursday with this beaut of a new menu. Don’t forget we are now open on Thursday evenings with our three small plates for £22 running from Thursday to Saturday from 6-9pm It doesn’t get much better than that! https://t.co/Cfzhxn4QSg

I dislike shouty, exaggerated InstaBollocks. You know, where the average is 'fantastic', the good is 'incredible' or 'amazing' and the clever is 'genius mate!' So bear that in mind when I tell you that Wilson's is, simply, absolutely *extraordinary*. https://t.co/PJK7gMBj5c

With Poca set to open soon, Antonio Simone is one of the busiest men in local hospitality. But in the spirit of indies supporting indies, he sat down to chat about moving to the area, the new menu, new neighbours and his tribute to La Cuina. Read on... https://t.co/OSBAs4nOsL

What a wonderful review for @HeaneysCardiff from none other than @WilliamSitwell. 'For that lamb, Cardiff should give Tommy the keys to the city'.

What twins Pasquale and Sergio Cinotti are doing one minute's walk from Newport train station, opposite a mini Tesco and a kebab shop, is startlingly creative. 2/2 The AA Restaurant of the Year: Gem 42. https://t.co/cXr6EEx2PT

Did you know about the @Purple_poppadom Early Bird deal? We think this is outstanding value for cooking this good, so we thought you should know about it too... just in case you're planning a treat this week 😉

OK, one last time. Honest. Caper and Cure is lovely, and you should go, because you'd fall for it too.
