- Michelin Star Restaurant
Description
Home, tucked just outside the city centre in Penarth, is the kind of restaurant that feels like stepping into someone’s beautifully curated living room, only with Michelin‑starred cooking at your fingertips. Run by acclaimed Welsh chef James Sommerin and his family, the restaurant prides itself on an intimate, immersive experience, from its blacked‑out windows to the doorbell you ring to enter. Home has earned serious acclaim since opening, securing its first Michelin star just months in and retaining the honour for five consecutive years, cementing its place among Wales’ top dining destinations.
The cooking leans modern British, driven by seasonal produce and crafted through surprise tasting menus that shift every few weeks. With Sommerin and his daughter Georgia leading the kitchen, each dish offers a glimpse of their meticulous approach and creative flair, while other family members run the relaxed yet polished front‑of‑house service. Think cosy, atmospheric dining with an open kitchen glowing like a stage, where every plate – from delicate amuse‑bouches to the final flourish – feels thoughtfully composed and rooted in local ingredients.
For those seeking a Cardiff dining experience that blends warmth, refinement, and a touch of theatre, Home is one of the city’s standout gems. It’s a place that rewards curiosity and celebrates craftsmanship, all wrapped in the sincere hospitality of a family who truly live and breathe what they do.
