Harden's says

The indoor restaurant is now closed permanently to make space for a wine room that serves a deli-based daytime menu.

“Genuine Spanish food” and a “long list of great Spanish wines” are available at this restaurant/bar that developed out of a deli founded in 2001 by Paul Grimwood & Shumana Palit, moved into wholesaling, and during the pandemic found a new focus on wine. They have a second branch in Narberth, and two tapas bars in Cardiff (Curado and Vermut).

“A wonderful selection of tapas and lovely well-priced wines” has built a solid reputation over two decades for this stalwart Spanish deli/bar/wine merchant. “The only drawback is that the seating area has shrunk to a few high-stools, with all food eaten on a counter” nowadays.

A South Wales pioneer of modern Spanish cuisine for more than 20 years, this deli/café-bar/wine merchant has tweaked its format since lockdown, but maintains consistent high ratings for its “really good food”. It has a spinoff restaurant in Narberth and a city-centre pintxos bar in Cardiff.

It’s “a bit cramped”, admittedly – you sit on stools or round a shared table in the rear of a deli – “but the food is always reliably good and the wine list both excellent and reasonably priced” at this tapas joint and Spanish wine merchant. The owners have two other outposts: a Narberth spin-off, and Basque café/bar, Curado Bar, in Cardiff city-centre.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
