The provenance and quality of our ingredients are at the heart of everything we do in the kitchen.

With an abundance of local and sustainable suppliers at our doorstep, we’re fortunate to work with some of Scotland’s finest producers—from lobsters and crabs from Belhaven Lobsters in Dunbar to vegetables and native breed meats from Free Company Farm in Balerno. Scotland’s natural larder is unmatched, and we take pride in showcasing its best.

Cooking over coals adds an extra depth of flavour to our dishes. It’s an intuitive, engaging process that brings a unique character to our food—something we believe translates onto the plate.

At Cardinal, we want dining to be more than just a meal; it should be an experience. Whether you’re joining us with friends, family, or dining solo, we aim to take you on a journey through flavour and storytelling, expressed through the creativity of our kitchen.

We are happy to cater to most dietary requirements across all menus, including vegan, gluten-free, pescatarian, and vegetarian options. Please let us know in advance, and we’ll ensure you have a great experience.

Please try to give us as much notice as possible for dietary requirements.
