CARDIFF BAY
Splash out in Mermaid Quay
For the perfect family day out this autumn look no further than Mermaid Quay, the heart of Cardiff's vibrant waterfront. And, with direct train services from Caerphilly and Merthyr Tydfil to Cardiff Queen Street station and a regular rail shuttle service on to Cardiff Bay, it's easy to get to.
Ever popular with children of all ages, Cadwalader's Ice Cream Café sells a delicious range of ice creams from family favourites such as vanilla & strawberry to luxurious apricot & brandy or fruits of the forest. Located on it's own pier, Cadwalader's also serves chilled drinks, smoothies, shakes and light snacks.
With more than 20+ waterfront restaurants, cafés and bars, eating and drinking is very much part of a visit to Mermaid Quay. There are popular brands - including Nando's Chicken restaurant, serving its famous flame-grilled Peri-Peri chicken; Pizza Express for pizza and pasta dishes; and a delicious range of burgers to suit any taste from Gourmet Burger Kitchen - and a host of independent operators offering everything from authentic Asian to classic Italian food. It's said you can eat your way around the world at Mermaid Quay.
For a special family dining treat, why not drop into Eddie's Diner - a picture perfect slice of all-American life from the 1950s. Take your pick from a menu that features hotdogs, traditional milkshakes and an endless variety of hamburgers - all to the sound of old fashioned rock & roll straight from the jukebox!
But there is more than just food on offer at Mermaid Quay. Check out the boutiques and shops - Polka Dot, Zebra 2, Divine, Pethau Bychain, Castle Galleries, Blink and Fabulous Welshcakes offer gifts, accessories & fashion - jewellery & jewellery boxes, photo frames, mirrors, scarves, handbags, cards, toys, candles & holders, fabulous furnishings and Welsh souvenirs - with many products sourced from local craftspeople. And then there's the Glee Club for laughs, Ken Picton Salon for head-to-toe pampering and much, much more.
