Cardiff has a lively restaurant, bar and wine scene, with plenty of options for Champagne whether you’re looking for a relaxed glass or somewhere to mark a special occasion. Cardiff city centre, Pontcanna and the waterfront around Cardiff Bay are good areas to explore, with everything from stylish wine bars and restaurants to elegant hotel bars.
The city is also a good place to discover Welsh food and drinks. When wondering what to eat with Champagne, look for Welsh seafood, oysters, smoked salmon and local cheeses. And if you want to try something beyond Champagne, keep an eye out for Welsh sparkling wine and local gin.
Cardiff is easy to explore in a day or two, making it a good choice for a relaxed Champagne celebration combined with food, culture and a bit of Welsh scenery. If you have more time, use the city as a base for exploring the coast or countryside.
