The Alchemist in Cardiff is one of the hottest new venues to hit the High Street and the perfect place to head if you're looking for a Brunch menu with a quirky style and plenty of theatrics.

Located in underground vaults of the former Natwest bank, with a darkly decadent decor and flaming atmosphere. 'Dark art of molecular mixology' in a gothic boudoir with plush surroundings and industrialised interiors.

Cocktails are created with an obsessive eye for detail, presented in mystical vessels delivering theatre for every guest. The bartenders know how to put on a show and guarantee to charm and entertain. Try the guest favourite 'Colour Changing One' where you conjure the drink by mixing yourself and watch the liquid change from blue to pink before your very eyes. Or try the show-stopping Cherry Poppins. This gin-based cocktail is served with a cherry fog bubble ready for you to burst and release its aromas. It's a scientific lab waiting to be discovered.

The food is special too with a menu served from breakfast until late evening. The menu is an eclectic mix of classic dishes with an Alchemist twist. Favourites include Katsu Curry, Smoking Boards, Curried Fish and Steak. Why not try their weekend Alchemy Cocktail Brunch, every weekend from 10am. Choose three cocktails and any brunch dish, with the option of making drinks bottomless for just £10 extra!

Nestled in Cardff City Centre, The Alchemist is just a short walk from Cardiff Central Station.

    I visited in Autumn 2024, having the entire restaurant to myself for a few cocktails. The staff were welcoming and engaging through the night, accommodating custom drink requests and offering good banter. I would recommend and visit again.

    Staff are fabulous, helpful, happy and friendly. Cocktails are really good fun, even the non-alcoholic ones! Was there on a Saturday lunch time, so wasn't too busy. The food, especially the side dishes weren't super hot. One main meal that was supposed to be "smoking" was offered to be taken back by waiter (as it usually smokes more..?!). Really tasty and inventive though. Will be back. Thank you.
