Plat Paysan by Grady Atkins, Bloc Coffee, Cardiff
On August 3, 2019 by The Plate Licked CleanGrady Atkins’ Paysan residency at Canton’s Bloc Coffee has been a big hit this summer.

Leyli Joon and Co Supperclub, Tramshed, Cardiff
On July 28, 2019 by The Plate Licked CleanI’ve been wanting to try Leyli Joon’s cooking for a good while now, a situation only heightened by m’colleague Soliciting Flavours’ love letter to his December meal last year, all wrapped up in a righteous grumble about how Christmas meals out typically offer little of interest.

This blog is a very simple thing.
I won’t try to sell you any hand lotion, exercise programmes, coffee syrups or Patagonian nose flutes. You won’t find tips on dating, ‘wellness’ or yoga mats.

From mezze to Michelin ‘fine dining’ and all points in between.
