STORIES FROM WALES AND BEYOND

The chef behind Cardiff’s cult ramen restaurant, Matsudai Ramen, has been making waves—most recently appearing on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch. Matsudai, which started as a pop-up in 2019, has built a loyal following and caught the attention of food critics like Tom Parker Bowles and Jay Rayner. If you haven't tried their ramen yet, you’re missing out.

Cawl is Wales' answer to nourishing, slow food—it’s healthy, affordable, and deeply rooted in tradition. Packed with pasture-fed meats and seasonal veg, it’s time to give this Welsh classic the respect it deserves.
