"I was very tempted by a Chopped Salad but instead decided to treat myself to the Salsa Verde Marinated Cod. The fish itself was cooker perfectly and the butter bean broth was tastier than expected (albeit a few too many beans) but I loved that the dish was finished off with salty olives, capers and breadcrumbs."

"Usually buzzing during the week, I really cherish being City side on the weekend where the environment is a lot more chilled. The terrace was exactly what we needed; open, bright, and a total sun trap, perfect for low key Sunday Drinks and nibbles."

"This collaboration taps into East London's dual soul: a love a laid-back community vibes, and an eye for detail and aesthetic. Stella adds a refined fizz to the mix, where The Cardinal's street-food delivers bold, shareable plates. Add sun, summer cocktails, and live music - and you've got the perfect recipe for after-work escapism or weekend-style lounging."

"Padiyar and his team have recognised the influence of global cuisines in the choices of guests at The Cardinal. Pistachio sauce is a big deal right now, says the chef, taking centre stage in desserts, pastries and chocolate - evident in the viral Dubai chocolate trend."
