The Humble Onion, Dinas Powys restaurant review
On August 9, 2020 by The Plate Licked Clean‘Beautiful’. The Humble Onion’s salted focaccia, the taut, fragile bronze breaking apart for its airy crumb to be dredged through herby, grassy oil and its thick, sweet plug of balsamic. ‘Just…beautiful.’ A rolled lamb breast which combines a light crust with the wanton wobble of rich fat, a scattering of little cubes of pickled cucumber,

Uisce by Heaney’s, Cardiff- July 2020 reopening
On July 23, 2020 by The Plate Licked CleanUisce, small but perfectly formed, has always impressed. If you like handles like ‘best’ or ‘elite’ then this sits comfortably within that group, that small coterie of Cardiff places which attract unanimous high praise and loyalty. I’m no exception: I loved it the minute I tried it. This, though, is their first night’s reopening, and
