Tucked around the corner, Lord Cardigan may on first appearance seem a little solitary. You may also find yourself misled by its well-matched yet middle-of-the-road décor. But for what this modestly sized restaurant lacks in visual aesthetics, it makes up for in exquisite food, which comes lovingly presented on a plate fit for a Lord.

Husband and wife, John and Dominique, are the co-owners of this well-run restaurant, serving you breakfast, lunch and dinner – just not every day. Breakfast comes as a weekend treat, while lunch can be enjoyed from Wednesday to Sunday and dinner Tuesday to Saturday.

Predominately modern Australian cuisine fills the menu, with notable influences from Asia and Europe providing a twist on classics.

If you're looking for a calmer dining experience away from the bustle of nearby Victoria Avenue, Lord Cardigan will aim to impress with thoughtfully prepared and delectably tasty dishes.
