1. Longa
Breakfast from Longa
(Image: Wales Online )
Enjoy a top-class, homemade Turkish brunch in a relaxed setting at Longa's Whitchurch Road location. Their awesome brunch and breakfast options are so popular that they are now serving them all day on weekends.

They include dishes such as menemen, consisting of two eggs fried in rich, spiced tomato and pepper sauce and butter, served with Turkish Bread.
Another brunch favourite at Longa is Shakshuka, fried aubergine and potato in spiced tomato and pepper sauce with paprika. Served with Turkish bread.
180 Whitchurch Rd, CF14 3NB

2. Canna Deli
Located just off the King's Road on Pontcanna Mews, the Welsh-speaking Canna Deli is always busy thanks to its covered outdoor area. This local favourite effortlessly combines flavours from around the world with a distinctly Welsh twist.
From the brunch menu, try the coconut porridge with plum compote or, for something a little more filling, the deviled chestnut mushrooms on toasted sourdough, washed down with coffee.

By night, the Dusk menu features crafted cocktails, wine, and pizza on Friday and Saturday nights. So you can feast day and night, foodie fans.

We particularly love the Shakshuka dish for breakfast, which features perfectly oozy eggs atop a herby and spiced tomato sauce. Order a cheeky side of chorizo for extra brunching oomph.

Parkside has opened a second Cardiff location with sophisticated interiors and an impressive all-day brunch menu.
The indie business already has one cafe in Heath, which opened in 2021. Their new location in Lakeside, right by the popular and gorgeous Roath Park, aims to offer a sophisticated brunch option while serving up established classics, including coffees, cakes, and cocktails.
The all-day menu features several new creations, like stuffed sourdough eggy bread with smoked bacon and cheddar, and buttermilk fried chicken French toast with hot honey.

The first Park Side is already loved for its cakes and sweet treats, and the independent bakery Carrot Top Bakery will continue to provide for the new Lakeside cafe.
6. Brød
Looking for pastries and coffee in Pontcanna? Try Danish bakery Brod for a little slice of Denmark in the 'diff.' It offers traditional Danish pastries and freshly brewed, aromatic coffees supplied by Clifton Coffee Roasters. The Sunday Times also singled out this hip bakery as being "unmissable."
It's the brainchild of Betina Skovbro, who combined her heritage and love of baked goods to the city in November 2015, since expanding to Penarth, then the east of Cardiff.

You don't expect to see a retro 1960's home sat in a field in rural Wales

This genuine retro mid-century home can definitely claim to offer a potential buyer a unique property package - and not just its distinctive design and opportunity to recreate the best that mid-century design offered within an original setting. The bespoke, architect-designed house was built in the 1960s and can still boast original features, design and layout inside and externally but arguably the most surprising aspect of the house is that it nestles down into the landscape within its own two acre paddock. This might not seem surprising until you discover that the house is located near the centre of the popular coastal town of Cardigan rather than as a slice of a rural village. The extra land offers the chance to enjoy outdoor living with scope to even establish your own urban smallholding, yet the town centre is within walking distance. For more property stories sent to your inbox twice a week sign up to the property newsletter here READ MORE: Dream home with sea views and steps to a private cove guaranteed to take your breath away The extra land also gives a new owner the scope to extend the house or even build a second home on the site - both options are, of course, subject to gaining planning permission with no guarantee of achieving it. Inside, the house has a linear layout off a central hallway, with an open-plan lounge kitchen diner with doors to the garden terrace and three double bedrooms. There have been modern updates in the kitchen and bathrooms as well as the windows but the 1960s soul of the house remains. The house offers a blank canvas for a new owner to get creative and bring their own personal design to the property - and if it's a cool, retro vibe then this house is more than happy to host it in a genuine and original mid-century design that includes wooden ceilings and wall, painted brick walls, and large windows. The scene is set for the new owner to enjoy adding classic furniture pieces from iconic companies such as Ercol and Eames as well as updated, modern versions of the bold colours and patterns from the mid-century era. Cardigan, or Aberteifi in Welsh, is the second-largest town in Ceredigion and boasts a rich cultural heritage. It has evolved from an important 18th-century Atlantic seaport into a stylish hub of arts, complete with theatres and galleries. Situated on the curve of the River Teifi, Cardigan maintains a vibrant small-town atmosphere with boutique shops, an independent bakery, a renowned hotel, a mix of visually engaging period properties and buildings, and marked coastal paths that lead you along the stunning shoreline. The mid-century gem offering original features with the scope to create an outstanding retro or sleek contemporary home, with the added bonuses of town centre location and that incredible paddock is on the market for offers in the region of £480,000 with Cardigan Bay Properties, call 01239 562500 to find out more.

Summer berry pavlova from Clodagh McKenna

As we come into summer, this hero of a dessert from Irish chef, columnist and TV presenter Clodagh McKenna is the perfect garden-party showstopper – it's showing off, done simply. Good quality egg whites are the secret to its fluffy and light meringue base, and then delicious, in-season Tesco Finest raspberries, blueberries and British strawberries – plump and bursting with irresistible sweetness – are piled high on top. Dreamy. Cook and prep 2 hrMakes 1 pavlova For the pavlova5 Tesco Finest free-range Welsh bluebell araucana eggs, whites only250g caster sugar 1 tsp corn starch ½ tsp white wine vinegar For the filling300ml whipping cream 300g mix of Tesco Finest strawberries, raspberries and blueberries 1 tbsp icing sugar Heat the oven to 160C (140C fan)/325F/gas 3 and line a baking tray with baking paper. Use an electric mixer to whisk the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until firm peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, whisking constantly until the mixture is thick and glossy and the sugar completely dissolved. Add the corn starch and vinegar, and gently fold in until just combined. Pour the mixture on to the prepared baking tray in a circle shape and use the back of a wooden spoon to shape the meringue into a nest. Place the meringue in the heated oven and turn the heat down to 140C (120C fan)/275F/gas 1 and bake for 1½ hours. Once the meringue is cooked, turn off the heat and allow it to cool completely in the oven. Just before you are ready to serve, assemble the filling. Gently whisk the cream and spoon it into the centre of the meringue nest. Add the fresh berries on top, with a sprinkle of sieved icing sugar. If you have any edible flowers from your garden, you can add them here. Shop the ingredients for this recipe on and discover how Tesco Finest can make your everyday taste better
