Gorse
Cardiff's first Michelin-starred restaurant, offering tasting menus that highlight Welsh ingredients, earning its star just over eight months after opening.
Located on King's Road in Pontcanna, Gorse opened in May 2024. Chef Tom Waters, who previously spent three years at The Fat Duck, earned a Michelin star for the restaurant about eight months after opening, making it Cardiff's first starred establishment. It primarily offers tasting menus, with a four-course lunch at around £60 and a seven- or ten-course dinner ranging from £95 to £125 (prices vary across sources and are subject to change; refer to the official website). The dishes change with the seasons, previously featuring Brecon venison with wild bilberries, St Davids lobster, and more. Seating is limited, so advance booking is required. It is about a 25-minute walk from the city center, or a short taxi ride.
