Thomas the Brasserie
Cardiff - Modern British - Restaurant
In its new casual incarnation as a neighbourhood brasserie, with gauzy cafe curtains and deep green banquettes, Tom Simmons's restaurant is on better form than ever. Imprints of its fine dining past are betrayed in stylish service and sophistication on the plate but the menu is far more democratic. Splash out on warm crab crumpets and truly exceptional steak frites, or enjoy the simple pleasure sausage and mash. For a front row seat with executive chef Tom Peters, head upstairs to the 12-seater chefs counter experience, the Loft.
