Lovely breakfast and nice and hot, only confusing thing is my husband had a laver breakfast which we thought was going to be laverbread but nothing but still a nice breakfast. I had a vegetarian breakfast sausages were really nice.

On the afternoon of Tuesday 10th September 2024 during a short vacation to Cardiff (a great British city) ????????????????????????, I decided to visit it's famous and much loved: Cardiff Market The market is known for it's wide variety of Cuisine from all over the world yet I just felt like traditional British & on the first floor balcony found The Bullterrier Café. Absolutely wonderful in terms of value for money, friendly staff and more than adequate seating area directly opposite on the balcony plus the café has it's OWN seating area as well. For £8.40p, I got more than a substantial lunch. Enjoyed for sure

Hearty breakfast including coffee or tea at just 8 pounds. Unpretentious cafe serving simple food in a historical market. A must visit for tourists.
