In Café & Restaurant is a modern Hong Kong kitchen on Crwys Road in Cathays. Founded after its owners moved from Hong Kong to Cardiff in 2018, it opened as a cafe in 2019 and grew into an evening restaurant the following year as the local community gathered around its tables.
Cantonese wok cooking drives the menu, with crisp textures, fermented sauces and the concentrated heat of the pan shaping the food. Salt and pepper dishes, spring rolls, satay sauce, sweet and sour preparations and black bean stir fries sit alongside other familiar Hong Kong flavours.
A defining feature is that almost every dish can be ordered in a meat or vegan version. The plant based dishes are developed as complete counterparts rather than simple substitutions, using vegetables and plant proteins to preserve the flavour, texture and balance of the original inspiration.
Lunch and evening service make the restaurant suitable for a quick meal or a longer dinner, and tables can be reserved directly. The combination of authentic influences, a broad menu and unusually extensive vegan choices gives In Café & Restaurant a distinctive place in Cardiff's dining scene.
