Cardinal restaurant reviews




Average rating: 4.8
We had a spectacular experience at Cardinal to celebrate a birthday! The food was creative and interesting and the wine was absolutely delicious. The sommelier was super knowledgeable about the wines she was serving and did a great job ensuring we had what we wanted. We didn't want a sweet wine at the end and she gave us multiple tasters until we found something to suit us.
Particular favourites includes the additional cheese course (a gorgonzola cheese and honey combo on top of a cake!), the gnocchi, mutton, and the apricot financier. Everything tasted better than its description on the menu!
