Go shopping or window shopping at St David’s Dewi Sant. The large shopping center is home to more than 150 shops and restaurants.

For a modern take on classic British comfort food, head to The Potted Pig. Located in a former bank vault, the restaurant specializes in meat dishes and works with seasonal ingredients. Main courses start at $24. The restaurant doesn’t offer dinner service on Sunday. Grab a nightcap at Ten Mill Lane. The trendy bar stays open until 6 a.m. Thursday–Sunday.
