S' BIRTHDAY POST!

Happy hump day everyone!

On the 4th of July I celebrated my 21st birthday! When it comes to celebrating my birthday I'm not the most organised, and to be honest, I don't like to have big parties and the pressure of a group of people coming together to celebrate my birthday. Saying that, I felt as though I couldn't let my 21st pass without spending it with my nearest and dearest, so I decided to organise some smaller birthday celebrations with smaller groups.

The first birthday celebration I had was a week before my birthday in Cardiff with my University friends. We started off at Wagamamas, and the food was delicious as always! (If you ever go you have to try the duck goyzas, they're a firm favourite here at Eleven Oh Seven). 

After food we headed over to Ten Mill Lane for some birthday drinks. I can't believe I'd never been there before: the atmosphere at the bar was great, so relaxed and easy going! The cocktails were the best we've ever had (anyone thought of putting balsamic and basil in a cocktail before? We hadn't either!) the staff were all so helpful and friendly making the experience that little bit extra special for us, and let's just say the aesthetic of the bar was just Pinterest perfect! I highly recommend a visit to Ten Mill Lane the next time you're in Cardiff.

On the day of my birthday I decided to have a chilled BBQ with my family and some friends. Again, I didn't want anything too formal or hard to organise. It was a lovely evening; the sun was shining and it was nice to spend time with my family and friends to celebrate my 21st.

#STUDENTMONDAY: Places to Eat in Cardiff

Happy Monday! Today we have another Student Monday post for you which includes too many calories, but hey, it's the end of term so we all deserve a treat!

Last week our friend at Because of the Times moved out of our student house here in Cardiff, which meant we've spent the last few weeks finally getting around to completing her Bucket List. This included visiting a lot of places to eat in Cardiff.

Here are some of our favourite places to eat in Cardiff. Some we've loved since starting Uni, and others we've just discovered.

The Grazing Shed
This is definitely a firm favourite of ours, boasting the title of 'Best Burger Joint in Wales' last year. With a great range of beef, chicken and veggie burgers, having to make a decision is almost too hard! It's a healthier and better quality alternative to other fast food restaurants, plus they offer student deals too!

   

Wagamamas
Wagamamas has become one of our favourite places to eat. The staff are always really friendly and the duck gyozas are always on our table! The amount of food you get for the price is well worth it too as we always leave this place full.

The Glassworks
One word: churros! It's these warm chocolate filled desserts that keep us coming back to the Glassworks. As well as that, their burgers and pulled pork are delicious choices. A great place to go if you are in need of a treat.






















Mission Burrito
We love Mexican cuisine, and this relatively new addition to Cardiff's food scene is a great choice for lunch. You completely tailor your own burrito to feature exactly what you want, ranging from meat to toppings. We especially love the side order of tortillas with guac!

Yo! Sushi
This is a great option for students on a budget, with their Blue Monday offers, many dishes are £2.70 which is an excellent price. With a range of meat, fish and veggie sushi and rice and noodle dishes, Yo! Sushi caters for everyone, even non sushi lovers.

Cosy Club
The interior inside Cosy Club is good enough reason to visit in our eyes, but their food and cocktails are the main attraction. Our go to dishes are the club and fish finger sandwiches, washed down with refreshing cocktail.. or two.

New York Deli
Situated in High Street Arcade, this deli is the best place to go if you're in Cardiff, hungry and looking for a sandwich. Everything is made fresh for you over the counter, where you can choose from their extensive menu, and if you're feeling up to it, try out their famous hoagies - they're huge!

We're sorry if this post gave you major food cravings! If you know of any places in Cardiff you'd want on this list, tweet us at Eleven Oh Seven and keep up to date with us on Instagram to see all where we're eating next!
