That knowledge came at a steep price: I didn&#8217;t always have the discerning palate and enviable taste which come as perks of being Food &amp; Drink editor. So, on some occasions the pursuit of romance has found me in places that were only slightly less soul-destroying than Bute Caf\u251c\u00ae. In the interest of full editorial disclosure, I will share those experiences with you: if they save at least one of you from a date disaster, I&#8217;ll consider my job in this position to be done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/harvester.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5929 aligncenter\" alt=\"harvester\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/harvester-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/harvester-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/harvester.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.714285714;font-size: 1rem\">Harvester<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.714285714;font-size: 1rem\">Taking someone to Harvester is the date equivalent of getting someone a picture frame for their birthday \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 you can&#8217;t go completely wrong, but can you ever go really right? On the plus side, there&#8217;s something to be said for a man who appreciates a free salad bar. During our visit all of the customers were either under 12 or over 40: if nothing else, the place screams commitment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We made about two hours of small talk, punctuated by some family-friendly drinks and a generally nondescript plate of fish and chips. The aftermath: two days of lukewarm texting. Judging from the clientele, Harvester is where romance is kept aflame, not where it is born.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>OR, if you like to keep the date atmosphere relaxed and down-to-earth, head to Cafe Minuet (Castle Arcade). Italian food in Britain is usually something of a posh affair but Minuet feels delightfully casual and cozy and manages to firmly grasp the Holy Grail of eating out: huge portions that are actually delicious. The only gripe I have with this place are the ridiculous opening hours, which however befall every other establishment in Cardiff&#8217;s arcades, so you&#8217;ll have to save it for a lunchtime date like the busy businessman\/woman you are.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5930 aligncenter\" style=\"font-size: 1rem;line-height: 1\" alt=\"mango\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/mango-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/mango-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/mango.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mango&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it&#8217;s uncalled for to devote a whole paragraph to a place that was already closing down before I entered my second year and has now been replaced by Face 11 on Cathays Terrace. However, as Food &amp; Drink editor I would like to commemorate it for posterity: it was more than a restaurant &#8211; it was an experience.<\/p>\n<p>Our date happened to &#8220;accidentally&#8221; coincide with Valentine&#8217;s Day and well, a tapas bar-cum-shisha lounge (bit of a red flag in itself, in hindsight) seemed <i>sensual<\/i> enough. Upon walking in we were magically transported to a rather haphazard cross between someone&#8217;s living room circa 1985 and the fortune telling booth in Cardiff Market. Being spoilt for choice should be part of the experience in any self-respecting tapas bar, but it&#8217;s a struggle when most dishes consist of elusively named &#8220;chicken pieces&#8221;.\u252c\u00e1 Having looked through the menu, nothing could prepare us for its last page, which greeted us with a blurry picture of a woman in her 40s in a vaguely Middle Eastern fancy dress outfit, informing us that a belly dancer is &#8220;available on request&#8221; to &#8220;spice up your meal&#8221;. So there&#8217;s that. Who exactly this place targeted remains a mystery to me to this day.<\/p>\n<p>OR, if it&#8217;s small plates you&#8217;re after, Pica Pica on 15-23 Westgate St. Westgate Street isn&#8217;t exactly party central and the exposed brickwork inside feels a bit Generic Bar, but what they do have is 3 for 2 on tapas and an extremely solid selection thereof (and very decent cocktails too). \u252c\u00e1I&#8217;d heartily recommend you the marinated anchovies, but the only dish that&#8217;s less appropriate on a date is garlic bread.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5931 aligncenter\" style=\"font-size: 1rem;line-height: 1\" alt=\"nandos\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/nandos-300x189.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/nandos-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/nandos.jpg 564w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nando&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>As much as I would defend anyone&#8217;s God-given right to stuff your face with as much chicken as humanly possible, Nando&#8217;s is where romance goes to die. Obviously, given that the relationship progresses well enough, at some point your crush will probably see you drunkenly putting your hand-mouth coordination to the test with a Chicken Cottage box, but that doesn&#8217;t change the fact it&#8217;s pretty tough to use your womanly wiles with piri-piri flavoured grease dripping down your chin. But what&#8217;s a girl to do? Suffice to say, our rendezvous was enough of a success that it was swiftly repeated, this time in a different branch of Nando&#8217;s. Once is a coincidence, but twice is malevolence. The date ended up in him blatantly catching up on my texts while I popped in to the toilet. Oh, and we had some chicken too, I guess.<\/p>\n<p>OR, if you fancy seeing your date at the prey of their basest carnivore urges, take them to The Grazing Shed (1 Barrack Lane). Admittedly, burgers on a date are an extremely high risk-high reward move, but once you find yourself in this temple of meat hedonism facing one of their impressive offerings, chances are you won&#8217;t really care. Of course, there&#8217;s no attractive way to eat a burger, but have you ever really bonded with anyone over a salad?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not sure where to take your miserable date?
