AN informal, neighbourhood food-led café and bar which is open all day, every day, where family and friends can come for a coffee, a drink, or something to eat.

Curry on the Curve, Clarence Place, Newport

South Wales Argus:

CURRY on the Curve brought about a new concept in Newport – healthy Indian dining.

All their food is cooked using fresh local produce as far as possible, and with a promise of no added artificial colours, flavours, preservatives or additives.

Dishes on the menu include a vegetable jalfrezi, a mushroom bhaji, Bombay aloo and much more.

Falafilo Island, High Street, Newport

South Wales Argus:

FALAFILO Island was started by Oskar Ali and Maijan Hussein after they arrived in the UK about three years ago.

Due rue to Ms Hussein's love of cooking and her creativeness with food, they began Falafilo Island with the idea of bringing Syrian food to Wales.

Their menu consists of veggie burgers, falafel burgers, lentil soup, vegan mezze and more.

Wagamama, Friars Walk, Newport

South Wales Argus:

WAGAMAMA has quickly become a staple restaurant in Friars Walk, and recently expanded their vegan menu to include some new and innovative dishes – designed around the idea that meat-free shouldn’t mean taste-free.

On the menu, and already making headlines, is their vegan suika tuna which consists of dehydrated watermelon steak.
