Cardinal is a relaxed fine dining restaurant from chef Tomas Gormley. Located in Edinburghs historic New Town Cardinal offers a modern approach to Scottish cooking. With a wide range of local and sustainable suppliers at our doorstep, from our Lobsters and Crabs at Belhaven Lobsters in Dunbar to our vegetables and Native breed meats at Free Company Farm in Balerno we’re lucky to be taking advantage of Scotlands unique and unrivalled natural larder. Cooking over coals helps add an extra layer of flavour to whatever we’re cooking on them, it’s more intuitive and engaging as cooks and we feel like that comes through on the plate. Tasting menus are our bread and butter but we also offer a pre fixe 'A la carte' menu.

Always a pleasure, the pescatarian tasting menu is exceptional. Fantastic ingredients, oyster, tuna, lobster, monkfish to name a few. Beautifully presented with delightful flavours and well thought out accompaniments. Service was good with each course described in just enough detail. Overall a lovely evening, and I would say consistently good as this was our third visit

Cafe St H used to be a favourite when I worked regularly in Edinburgh. Hadn’t been in 5 years but was really happy to find that nothing had changed. Terrine and cod were both perfectly cooked, sourdough is to die for, and the staff made my daughter feel special. In times of change so good to see somethings’ remain timeless. More Paris than most Paris restaurants - and it was full !
