Asador 44

Asador 44 is a Spanish grill bar with a lot of style and substance that is located in the centre of Cardiff.  Asador 44 is located close to the principality stadium so if you're looking for a bite to eat before or after a rugby match then it's a great choice.

Asador 44 is an upmarket bar and restaurant and it's a great place to visit for those special occasions.  You can book a table or learn more about Asador 44 on their website.

If you like Asador 44 you may also want to check out their sister restaurant Bar Forty Four which is located just around the corner.  Here you can enjoy tapas-style dishes in a cosy environment.

We've eaten at both Asador 44 and Bar Forty Four and have loved both restaurants.
