Madame Fromage

Cardiff


One of Cardiff's best delicatessens, with a wide range of charcuterie and French and Welsh cheese, the Madame also has a cafe with tables spilling into the arcade. Here you can read French newspapers and eat a mixture of Breton and Welsh dishes, including rarebit, lamb cawl (a stewlike soup) and bara brith (fruitcake).
