Le Roi, Cardiff's newest Caribbean restaurant, is tucked away on a quiet side street—a little gem I stumbled upon. The space is bright and airy, with colorful artwork and plenty of natural light streaming in. It feels relaxed and welcoming, more like a friend's vibrant kitchen than a stuffy establishment; looking through the photos online, I noticed the lovely use of natural wood and bright textiles.

Their menu is a delightful mix of familiar favorites and exciting new dishes. They offer classics like jerk chicken and curried goat, but also have some interesting takes on Caribbean cuisine. One photo shows a perfectly plated escovitch fish, looking incredibly fresh and vibrant. I'd definitely recommend trying their rum punch—it was fantastic!

What makes Le Roi special is its genuine warmth and the clear passion for Caribbean food shining through. It's the kind of place that would be perfect for a casual weeknight dinner with friends, a lively celebration, or even a romantic date. It's a refreshing change from the usual Cardiff fare, offering authentic flavors and a relaxed ambiance—something that definitely sets it apart.
