CLOSED SEPT 2010.
There are some restaurants where you just feel instantly at home, like a regular, even if it's your first visit.
Where no matter what sort of day you've had, stepping into the warmth and being made to feel so welcome seems to make everything right with the world.
Where, when looking at the menu, it's less about what you feel in the mood for and more about planning when you can come back for your next visit and try all the other things you fancy.
Where the menu is full of lots of seasonal, local produce because it tastes better, not because it's the trendy thing to do. Where the food is interesting, exciting and ever so slightly different and beautifully presented whether you've ordered a sandwich or a fillet steak.
The Hawarden Brasserie is such a restaurant.
