Cardiff restaurant Bodega has welcomed Rhodri Davies as its new Head Chef.
Rhodri Davies, a Cardiff native and former contestant on MasterChef: The Professionals 2021, joins Bodega with an impressive culinary background and a passion for delivering elevated dining experiences.
Known for his approach to seasonal cuisine, Rhodri honed his skills at two Michelin-recommended establishments; The Heathcock in Llandaff, where he mastered the art of technically accomplished, modern British fare; and Heaneys in Pontcanna working under Great British Menu chef Tommy Heaney.
Bodega's menu is divided into snacks, small plates and sharer plates and the restaurant also offers a variety of fine wines by the glass. There is an option of sitting at the ‘Chef’s Counter’ or booking into one of Bodega’s monthly chef tasting nights.
“I’m thrilled to be leading the kitchen at Bodega and leaning into the art of cooking with fire,” says Rhodri Davies.
“We love to share a dynamic, intimate dining experience with our guests and showcase how fire transforms the way we eat and enjoy food.”
Bodega is owned and operated by Sophie Pascoe and Benito Martinez, who are both from Cardiff. They also own and run Ballers restaurant in Lakeside, Cardiff, Park Side in Heath and Lakeside, and The Priory hotel and restaurant in Caerleon.
