The best mojitos in town!
Sort of boho (not the Flight of the Concords variety), kind of cool, Milgi is Cardiff’s answer to a cross between Greenwich Village, New York, and Soho, London. However, taking the style out out of the equation, by far the best thing about Milgi is its mojitos.
Although, saying that, the food’s not bad either. All veggie, and served in tiffin boxes, it’s got a “cooked with love” taste to it that you can’t help but appreciate. The sausage and mash is ace.
The other thing that Milgi does well is music. There’s almost always a DJ on the go spinning out random tunes, and it’s played at just the right level to create a decent atmosphere, but still let you hold a conversation about the merits of Boris Johnson’s street attack hero story. I’m not buying it.
The mojitos though are super-fly. Always good, but occasionally great, Milgis’ mojitos have been second to none in Cardiff over the last year or so. The mix of rum, sugar syrup, mint and crushed ice is as close to perfect as you can find.
The best spot to drink them is lying down on the beds out in the yurt at the back of Milgi. The only problem is that good seats can be tough to get hold of, so get in early of you want a comfy chair.
