Wales Cafe

Wales Cafe is a small independent cafe in Fujairah city running a relaxed, European-inflected menu of pizzas, pasta, sharing plates and coffee. The room is casual and cheerful, with considered music and a gently trendy aesthetic that makes it a comfortable spot for working lunches, coffee catch-ups or an unhurried early dinner. The menu's strengths are its pizzas and signature small plates. The pizza section is carefully composed with a range of thin-crust options that the kitchen fires well, and the truffle balls - small deep-fried pasta-and-cheese spheres rolled in truffle oil - are the signature starter and the order regulars return for. Coffee is treated seriously, a range of desserts is available, and light mains cover pasta, salads and open sandwiches. Service is friendly and attentive, with a small team that remembers regulars. Prices sit fairly for the quality delivered, particularly given the considered plating. For a proper cafe-scale restaurant in Fujairah with distinctive signature items and a comfortable tempo, Wales Cafe is a quiet, well-run pick.
