The Secret Garden Café

The Secret Garden Café sits inside Bute Park, a short walk from Cardiff Castle, making it a practical stop for anyone exploring the city centre with a dog. Under the current management, well-behaved dogs are welcome inside the walled garden area as well as outside, so owners and their dogs can settle in together whatever the weather.

The café uses local, seasonal and organic ingredients, with homemade food and drink served daily from 9am to 4.30pm. It is a popular spot with both locals and visitors making the most of Bute Park, and free dog treats have been reported by recent visitors.

The café is managed as part of Bute Park and sits at the heart of the park's main path network, making it a natural mid-walk stop. Dogs are welcome inside the walled seating area, and outdoor seating is also available.
