Hanson at the Chelsea Restaurant

Inspector comments
"Confident cooking in popular locals’ favourite."
Overview
In the heart of Swansea city centre, Andrew Hanson’s unassuming-looking bistro is tucked away from the crowds off lively Wind Street. A cosy yellow-painted bistro with closely packed tables and ever-changing blackboard menus, the emphasis is on local fish and seafood cooking with a French accent, although excellent Welsh lamb is also on offer.

About the area
There’s no getting away from it – when it comes to image, Swansea is a bit of a mixed bag. During its heyday in the 19th century, as king of the copper industry, it was known as ‘Copperopolis’
