Cardiff Shopping and Eating: Cardiff’S Superb Shopping and Eating Options

A number of other shops selling everything from home wares to sporting equipment can also be found inside this expansive shopping centre. Capitol Shopping Centre opens daily.
2) Riverside Farmers Market
Cardiff's Riverside Farmers Market takes place each week on Saturdays. The market is small, but always alive with people who come to find some of the best produce from the local region. The market sells a great range of organic vegetables, free-range eggs and grain-fed meats. This is a great way to find delicious food whilst supporting the local agricultural community.
3) David's - Dewi Sant

If you're feeling puckish while you're here, then head to the food court and find yourself a delicious snack, or perhaps a light meal.
4) Bosphorus Turkish Restaurant
Bosphorus Turkish Restaurant has become one of the city's hottest restaurants thanks to its great Turkish food and vibrant atmosphere.
