Dark, intimate and moody, Cardinal makes for an atmospheric place to dine in the smart suburb of Stockbridge, which has become a real destination for Edinburgh's foodies. The set menu takes a modern, sometimes creative approach to produce from both land and sea – be it Carlingford oysters or lamb rump wrapped in kelp – with preservation techniques often playing their part. An international wine list is on hand to accompany the cooking, with a leaning towards natural and low-intervention options.
