Find My Dine. From Wales, for Wales.
We set up Find My Dine with one simple aim: to connect people with the best chefs in their area, in places they might have missed.
We’ve both been writing restaurant blogs for years now, publishing hundreds of reviews, and it has always been about sharing the best of what’s around. We believe it is you – the independents, which are building us a recognisable Welsh food culture.
We believe that Wales needs a national platform to promote the wider independent scene, its bricks and mortar restaurants. To show and share what’s happening across the country, in all its richness and variety. The need was there pre-pandemic, and it is even more pressing now.
Put simply, we need to celebrate the best that the independent food sector in Wales has to offer and to champion local businesses of all types.

Find My Dine. From Wales, for Wales.
Fe wnaethom ni sefydlu Find My Dine y llynedd gydag un nod syml: i gysylltu pobl â’r cogyddion gorau yn eu hardal, mewn lleoedd efallai nad oeddent yn ymwybodol ohonynt.
Rydym ni’n dau wedi bod yn ysgrifennu blogiau bwytai ers blynyddoedd bellach, gan gyhoeddi cannoedd o adolygiadau, ac ers y dechrau, rhannu’r gorau o’r hyn sydd o’n cwmpas oedd ein nod. Credwn mai chi – yr annibynwyr, sy’n creu diwylliant bwyd sy’n adnabyddus i Gymru.
Credwn fod angen llwyfan cenedlaethol ar Gymru i hyrwyddo’r olygfa annibynnol ehangach, ei bwytai craidd. Dangos a rhannu’r hyn sy’n digwydd ledled y wlad, yn ei holl gyfoeth a’i amrywiaeth. Yr oedd angen hynny cyn y pandemig, ac mae’n fater hyd yn oed yn fwy enbyd nawr.
Yn syml, mae angen i ni ddathlu’r gorau sydd gan y sector bwyd annibynnol yng Nghymru i’w gynnig, a hyrwyddo busnesau lleol o bob math.
Beth mae Find My Dine yn ei olygu i chi?

If everyone cared as much as Find My Dine, I honestly believe this sector would be beautiful. Throughout Covid and even after, I have thought about quitting. But all the noise has given me a huge boost of confidence. Thank you for your honest and genuine interest in the Humble Onion.

Find My Dine, in my personal opinion, is a platform that genuinely wants to promote the very best of independent hospitality businesses in Wales. Even before a global pandemic, the industry was going through its most challenging time in history. Find My Dine is exactly the type of thing needed to help us.
Genuine, transparent, wanting to do the right thing for all the right reasons. They ask questions and dig deeper under the skin of a business, which I admire and find a breath of fresh air. A business should be transparent and open about everything. That way they are recommending places with real confidence.
This helps the creative and quality end of the industry grow in this part of the world- and that’s exactly what’s needed.
So in a nut shell- we signed up instantly.
