Fowl & Fury Canton

You're walking down Cowbridge Road East, past the independent shops and vintage spots that make Pontcanna what it is, when you spot Fowl & Fury. It's straightforward—no pretension, just a restaurant that knows what it does and does it well. The menu centres on fried chicken that's actually been thought through, paired with sides and sauces that don't play it safe. The 4.8 rating isn't fluff; locals keep coming back because the food's consistent and the place doesn't take itself too seriously. It's the kind of spot where you can grab something genuinely good without the performance that comes with fancier joints nearby.
