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.

We are a multiple award winning restaurant, first opening our doors in Edinburgh in 2009. Whether it’s the blast of warmth that welcomes you as you step off the plane, the guitarist in that bustling side street bar you chanced upon or the very last meal of your trip, we wanted to create an atmosphere in Tapa that was evocative of our most vibrant memories of Spain!From Michelin starred restaurants in Madrid to roadside cafes in Sanlúcar de Barrameda we celebrate the incredibly diverse range of ingredients and stunning dishes that we’ve experienced on our travels through Spain by placing an emphasis on small, artisanal Spanish producers and ingredients almost impossible to source out with Spain.This is our experience of Spain and we look forward to sharing it with you very soon!

    Excellent dinner experience in a restaurant that is certainlly on the way to receive a Michelin star anytime soon. The menu is focused on local ingredients and is very crative. The wine pairing had also a couple of nice different surprises and was very well conceived.

    I booked drinks only and advised that it was for a birthday. They very sweetly wrote a birthday card and gave complimentary chocolates to my friend. View was lovely, everything was spotless, the atmosphere was relaxing and the service was great. Recommend, especially if you have friends visiting from out of town.
