When are the bars and restaurants at Cardiff’s new city centre development opening?

From posh cocktails to Indian street food, Church Street in the centre of Cardiff is set to be one of the city's trendiest places.

The huge development will soon be home to four bars and restaurants with one more unit sitting empty and open to offers.

Confirmed so far is a three-floor cocktail bar, a Vietnemese restaurant, an Indian street food spot and a popular burger joint.

Work on the site has been going on for several months, and now the hoarding once covering the front of the building has come down and passers by can get their first glimpse inside some of the units.

This is the list of the confirmed bars and restaurants coming to Church Street and when they are opening.

Mowgli Street Food

The popular independent chain offering authentic Indian street food is another of the new additions to the city.

Mowgli, which specialises in healthy and vegan cuisine, has already proven a hit with foodies in Manchester, Birmingham, and Liverpool - where it opened its original eatery in October 2014.

Not to be  confused with Mowgli's in Whitchurch and on Crwys Road  , owner Nisha Katona confirmed in March 2018 that Mowgli will open on Church Street.

A spokeswoman said they'll be open by the end of July.

Pho

The Vietnamese restaurant was founded by husband and wife team Stephen and Juliette Wall after travelling the world and loving Vietnamese street food.

Pho (the dish is pronounced FUH, the restaurant is pronounced FOH) is the Vietnamese national dish, a rice noodle soup served with a side plate of fresh herbs to add as you please.

Other than Pho the rest of the menu is full of sharing starters, spicy salads, wok-fried noodles, fragrant curries, Vietnamese beers, a fab wine list, fresh juices and cocktails.

The  Cardiff venue  will seat around 110 people.

The chain has said they are planning to open mid-September but may be able to confirm an exact date soon.

Honest Burgers

One of London's best loved burger joints will also be coming to Church Street.

The hip burger shop has more than 20 sites across the English capital and was launched in 2011.

On Thursday their Twitter account revealed the head chef for the "soon-to-open" restaraunt.

In reply to someone asking when, the account said "not long now" and they will be previewing their burgers at the Street Food Circus market in Canton in August .

The description of The Botanist on its website is as a "secret garden" and they're known for serving their drinks in plant pots.

Their menu at their other bars across the UK includes everything from cocktails, Sunday roast, brunch and non-gluten options.

They do not yet have a fixed date for when they will open.

There will be five new outlets in total (Rob Browne)
