Troy Meze Bar

You'll find Troy tucked into Wellfield Road in Roath, where it's become the kind of place locals actually book ahead for. The whole concept revolves around sharing proper meze—think charred halloumi, smoky baba ganoush, grilled lamb kofta—rather than the tired chain version you've probably had before. It's intimate without being fussy, lively without the posturing, and the kitchen clearly knows what it's doing with Mediterranean flavours. The sort of spot where you order too much, drink wine, and lose track of time with whoever you're with.
