About Pori

Pori is a brunch restaurant and café bar at 4 Trade St in Cardiff city centre, a short walk from Central Station. The kitchen prepares breakfasts, brunches and lunches, all made with local ingredients. Specialty coffee is also on the menu, so a visit can be a drink on its own as well as a full meal. Service gets busy at popular times, and a wait to be served is common.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is what most reviewers return for, and the "Full Pori" draws the most specific praise, with the torched rarebit, house beans and extra black pudding singled out as a highlight. Close behind are the fried chicken sandwich and the patatas con chorizo huevos, which one pair of diners called incredible, along with pancakes, hash browns and a Sunday roast. Reviewers describe the food as fresh, flavourful and delicious, and the staff as friendly, even when the room is busy. The atmosphere comes across as relaxed, with a good buzz at weekends. The recurring caveat is pace: one reviewer waited longer than expected to be served and saw a stretched team during a popular service, another found the service smooth but not especially quick, and a few elements of one breakfast arrived less hot than they should have been. Even so, one reviewer recalls the chef coming out to greet the table and ask how the food was.
