Welcome to Calon y Gegin

Calon Y Gegin (meaning heart of the kitchen) is an underground or secret restaurant in Cardiff, it launched in March 2010 and at that time it was the first one of its kind in the area. In fact it still holds this unique title. Fellow foodies regularly gather at secret locations in Cardiff to enjoy sumptuous plates of food prepared using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients.

Calon Y gegin's Secret Sunday Brunch

Calon Y Gegin hosted its second underground event on Easter Sunday - a secret lazy brunch. Thanks to all our wonderful guests who came along to enjoy a delicious brunch of glazed Welsh gammon ham (sauteed mushrooms for the veggies), poached free range and organic eggs, homemade potato rosti accompanied by a homemade HP style sauce, a selection of locally produced breads for toast, homemade preserves and endless tea and coffee.


There were plenty of new faces at Calon Y Gegin on Sunday which was really encouraging; we hope they will spread the word about our underground restaurant. Judging by the feedback, they loved the homemade HP style sauce which was a perfect accompaniment to the ham.

We’re busy preparing for the next underground event now and will post a date on the blog and our Facebook page really soon. If the feedback we’ve had is anything to go by, we’re going to have to make sure we find a larger secret venue for the next one!

We look forward to welcoming back our guests and opening our doors to the adventerous who want to try something totally new!
