The chain, which boasts the 2005 BBC Masterchef champion Thomasina Miers as its head chef, has proven incredibly popular in the capital and the home counties. Offering authentic Mexican street food, it will open up in the lively St. David’s area of the Welsh capital.
The shopping centre is fast becoming the go-to place in Cardiff and already boasts a Jamie's Italian among its restaurants. Wahaca will be based close to the bubbly Essex chef's place, after a lease for 20 years was signed.
It will take up a 5,600 square foot site, which will also have outdoor space and offer two levels for the diners.
Talking about the venture, Wahaca's Thomasina Miers said:
“Cardiff is a young, vibrant city with a fantastic concentration of retail and leisure. We are delighted to be opening our first regional restaurant and are confident that the people of Cardiff will love our fresh, sustainable Mexican offer.”
The decision by the chain to open its 14th location in the city has been praised by intu's Julian Wilkinson, who works as the retail director of the shopping centre management and development company.Get a Free Quote for Print
