TV chef and owner of The Hardwick, Abergavenny, Stephen Terry has confirmed that plans to open a second restaurant in Cardiff have been shelved.
The star of BBC2's Great British Menu had been looking at properties in and around the suburb of Pontcanna.
The idea to open an in-house bakery and shop to run alongside the main business made the site of the old Le Gallois restaurant the most likely option, however the current economic conditions have convinced the Michelin-starred chef that the timing isn't right for a move into the Welsh capital.

Bringing The Hardwick to Cardiff
Woke up to the news that Stephen Terry is to open a new restaurant in Cardiff.
The restaurant won't be in the city centre - let's face it most of Cardiff's best eateries aren't - but the London-born chef hinted that Cathedral Road was a possible location.
The food will follow the same philosophy as the that employed at it's sister restaurant The Hardwick in Abergavenny and the one thing you can guarantee there'll be no gastronomic showing off just and abundance of high quality, local ingredients.
Speaking to Trinity Mirror's WalesOnline web site he said, "I can't stand fine dining. It comes with an over-inflated price and no atmosphere and I can't see the point.
“I don’t think there’s a demand for a molecular gastronomy pushing boundaries type restaurant in Cardiff.”
The chef also revealed that he's planning to open an adjoining shop selling local produce, "We would bring stuff down from Abergavenny, like great strawberries in the summer.

“I have a great friend who’s a baker and I’d like to bring him in so people can buy a good loaf of bread for £3.50.”
