Asador 44
A city-centre Spanish chargrill and wine bar founded by the Bar 44 brothers, renowned for its aged steaks.
Opened in 2017 by the brothers behind Bar 44, this restaurant is located at 14-15 Quay Street in the city centre and now serves as the dining room for the boutique hotel Parador 44. It is featured in the Michelin Guide. The menu revolves around cooking over live fire, with Michelin highlighting the squid, cauliflower, and rump cap. Aged beef is the signature, and the wine list is almost exclusively Spanish. Expect to spend around £50 to £60 per person for lunch, though ordering large cuts of steak will cost more; some reviews note it offers average value for money. It is just a few minutes' walk from Cardiff Central station and the Principality Stadium. Reservations are recommended on match days and weekends.
