A champagne and oyster bar tucked into a century-old Llandaff pub is a choice that takes confidence, and the Heathcock pulls it off without blinking. The menu changes twice daily, leans hard into nose-to-tail Welsh cooking, and shares a kitchen philosophy with sibling pub the Hare & Hounds in Aberthin. Sharing plates are the move here. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, and the kitchen garden out back keeps things seasonal whether you like it or not.
