Wally's Deli is named after it's founder - Walter Salamon. Walter's family originally were originally from Poland, and came to the UK in 1939 from Rohrbach (near Vienna) whilst fleeing from the Nazis.
Just looking through the windows, you can see this shop is like an Aladdin's cave for lovers of fine food:
I couldn't wait to go in:
Inside the shop:
there's all manner of continental products. There's a large cheese counter:
with cheeses like Gorwydd Caerphilly from Trethowans Dairy, and Perl Las from Caws Cenarth and Teifi with Seaweed (Welsh Laverbread) from Teifi Cheese.
There's a good charcuterie department:
with items from Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Spain.
They sell Belgium chocolates, and a good selection of local beers and wine:
I love the white chocolate sheep in the bottom of this cabinet!
If you go up the stairs (behind the olive bar):
there's a café, where I had some coffee and panettone:
Wally's is a lovely family business, which has now become a Cardiff institution!
