Moura — Restaurant in Wales

✨ “A night of French finesse and fearless flavour…” ✨ We were lucky enough to be invited into the magical world of Moura x Bohemien, where fine dining met pure imagination in an 6 course tasting menu that played on The Law of Diminishing Returns—but trust me, this was anything but diminishing 👌🏻

We were invited into the enchanting world of Moura x Bohemien, where every plate felt like a poetic little surprise. If you’re into bold flavours and seasonal storytelling through food, this one’s for you. 🥹🫶🏼

🦞 Course 1: Poached lobster in a clear tomato consommé with tomato tartar and cucumber gravlax. Creamy mousseline mousse and a whisper of tarragon—elegant and refined.

🥗 Course 2: A beetroot salad that stole my heart—sweet roasted beets, whipped goats curd, and the crunch of toasted pine nut vinaigrette. Fresh, creamy, punchy—just beautiful.

🍖 Course 3: Venison casserole, cocoa mille-feuille, carrot purée, shiitake mushrooms, and caramelised figs. Earthy, rich, and warming—the perfect blend of comfort and complexity.

🐷 Course 4: The dish I didn’t expect to love: stuffed pig’s trotter à la Pierre Koffman. Rustic yet refined, paired with morel mushrooms and impossibly smooth pomme mousseline. A bold move—and it paid off.

🍫 Course 5: Dessert begins—caramelised white chocolate mousse with coffee and black truffle. Sweet, bitter, savoury—so unexpected and so good.

🍓 Course 6: The finale: raspberry crème tart with elderflower ice cream and a zingy raspberry sauce. Light, floral, refreshing—honestly, a dreamy end to the night.

Merci to Tom for the invite—what a way to launch this new dining series with Moura. If this is just the beginning, Cardiff’s fine dining scene is about to get interesting…

Worth every bite. 🤤

Our first visit to Moura on a quiet Thursday night. Despite being the only people in the restaurant at an early 6.30pm sitting, we were very well looked after by the owners and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced on the 3 course more limited menu. Perfect portion sizes meant that even 3 courses were not overwhelming. We had French onion soup, whitebait, sea bream and minute steak. All were very delicious. With enough room for dessert, I opted for ice cream with chocolate sauce and the strawberry and white chocolate cheesecake my wife had was really lovely. Nice wine as well. We will certainly be back for dinner and look forward to trying their breakfast menu soon. Recommended for a nice casual dinner. The music was good too.

UPDATE

True to our word, we returned today to try the breakfast menu and it was as pleasant an experience as dinner. Lovely coffee and a very good full breakfast, not overwhelming in terms of size, but enough. The scrambled eggs were the best I’ve had in a very long time. And the poached eggs were perfect with the avocado on sourdough. Likely to be a regular venue. Just...

I had the pleasure of visiting this fantastic restaurant for Sunday lunch, and it was an experience worth raving about! From start to finish, every detail was impeccable. I began with the French onion soup, which was fabulous– rich, flavorful, and brimming with depth. For the main, I enjoyed the roast chicken, and I have to say the portion was generous (I was really happy as I was starving!), accompanied by beautifully cooked roast vegetables, unctuous cauliflower cheese, and perfectly crispy green beans. I also ate half of my friend’s pork belly that had been cooked very well, the fat rendered down and super crispy cracking… did I mention I was starving?!

Another standout was their wine list, which had some delightfully unique options available by the glass. It’s such a refreshing change from the usual standard choices like Pinot Grigio or Merlot – here, you get to try something off the beaten track without needing to commit to a whole bottle!

The service was friendly and chatty, making the entire experience feel warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone, and I’m already looking forward to...
