ASK - Cardiff

For some time I made the mistake of thinking that no group of restaurants in the region of 200 locations could hope to maintain the quality for which I was looking. Then one day I decided to put my prejudices to the test, walked into Oxford Ask! and discovered that I could not have been more mistaken.

Braseria, La

Do not go here if you are seeking a cosy a deux. If, however, you have the family and their families' families with you this is the place. It stops short of being conveyor belt but there is nonetheless a feeling closely bordering on over-organisation.

Brasserie, La

A pleasantly earthy establishment, though it's sawdust, not earth that you'll find scattered on the floor, a feature which seems to have miraculously escaped the provisions of nanny legislation that currently afflict us.
