The Welsh House Cardiff is a restaurant and bar at 5A High Street, opposite Cardiff Castle and close to the Principality Stadium. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a central location designed to give residents and visitors a distinctly Welsh welcome.
Traditional Welsh dishes guide the menu, with chefs using locally sourced meat, seasonal vegetables and products from Welsh suppliers. The cooking aims for generous, recognisable food, presenting regional ingredients in an approachable contemporary restaurant format.
Sunday roasts and afternoon tea add dedicated experiences alongside the all day menu. The bar continues the local emphasis through its drinks, and the terrace offers an outdoor place to eat and drink with views towards the castle.
A private mezzanine, dining room and larger event space accommodate celebrations, meetings and group dinners. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should consult the current menu and speak to the team before ordering.
