Qype: Pica Pica in Cardiff



Cardiff - Restaurants - Mediterranean

Check this out - you can order a WHOLE chicken! Right, now that's out of the way i can tell you more about this interesting tapas bar right in the heart of Cardiff city centre. Set on Westgate Street, Pica Pica offers tasty tapas (whilst really scrummy, the portions are quite small, so if there's a big group of you, don't be afraid to order lots), good beers and wines and a very respectable cocktail list. The barstaff are quick and competant and the food is served promptly. It can get really busy at the weekend, so you may have to wait at the bar for a while and conversation can be a bit of a strain as the volume of chatter swells. The bar itself is cavernous, in that there are exposed brick arched ceilings and exposed brick walls. There are different seating options, like low slung coffee tables and leather sofas alongside more traditional dining type tables and booths.

Now, finally, back to the chicken. On the tapas menu there is the option to order a whole roast chicken, which comes with bread, a spicy salsa and a sharp knife! It's great fun to tuck in with your friends and fight over the wishbone (or the last bit of meat). Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
