My lunch bunch group ate at The Waverly recently. We all raved about the food, ambience and service. I can't wait to go for dinner. It's a very contemporary atmosphere, with soft beige on the walls and ceilings, fans and a beautiful bar. There is seating both inside and out, and lots of heaters outdoors for the cold weather.
The food is unique, but delicious. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and although we were there for lunch, some of us had breakfast. The creme brulee french toast was out of this world. Brioche bread, carmelized on the top and bottom to create a nice crunch, was served with berries and whipped cream. Avocado toast and eggs benedict were also on the breakfast menu.
We tried some appetizers for the table first: a delicious, creamy eggplant dip spread on toasted bread was wonderful, but I loved the pickled potatoes with creme fraiche. Yes, you read that correctly. Small new potatoes were cooked, pricked with a fork, then brined before being fried. I will try to make them at home. They were that good. They have several bowls, a large bao filled with beef, cheese and lettuce, to simulate a Big Mac (not for me), a few grilled sandwiches, and a wonderful hot shrimp dish. Oh, I can't forget the salted carmel butterscotch pudding.
The Waverly is not for someone wanting to eat the same old thing all the time, but more for those who want to try something new and different. The Waverly checked all the boxes for me: beautiful restaurant with attentive servers, excellent food and unique choices. I can't wait to go back. (The Waverly is in Cardiff, right near Seaside Market).
