Eat Dinner on the Bay at Mermaid Quay
Mermaid Quay is one of the main dining and shopping areas on Cardiff Bay. Here, you can choose from Italian, Japanese, and Mexican food, or sample dishes fresh from the sea. The lively street scene entertains both visitors and locals on a weekend night, and you can take the Aquabus, a water taxi service, between Mermaid Quay and Cardiff Castle. The Senedd, home of the Welsh parliament and designed by renowned British architect, Richard Rogers, is connected to the Quay, and features a dramatic sloping canopy roof. Take a tour of this building before or after dinner, or attend an art exhibition or event there.
