Daffodil Cardiff is a Welsh restaurant and bar at 33 Windsor Place in the city centre. Its cosy dining room champions small local suppliers, including producers found in Cardiff Market, and uses seasonal ingredients to connect familiar dishes closely to Wales.
Brunch includes a full Welsh breakfast and the distinctive combination of bacon, Gower cockles and laverbread. Grazing plates feature local cheese, sourdough and Welsh honey, while rarebit croquettes provide a crisp, savoury introduction to a larger meal.
Welsh lamb cawl brings together lamb, leek, root vegetables and potatoes in a traditional stew. Baked fish, Welsh beef and plant based mains broaden the choice, with careful menu labelling for vegetarian, vegan and non-gluten preparations.
Welsh spirits receive particular attention at the bar, supported by wine, cocktails and alcohol free drinks. The separate Windsor Room can accommodate private dining, drinks gatherings or business meetings, giving Daffodil a useful role beyond its everyday brunch, lunch and dinner service.
Address: 33 Windsor Place, Cardiff CF10 3BZ, Wales
