We dined mid-week so the joint was not packed out so it was hard to explain why the courses took so long to arrive - is there only one person in the kitchen? Apart from a very bland tterrine (entre) which was accompanied by particularly full taste pate (but what a combination?) the mains were quite satisfaying. We had the... More

We were staying in the Albert Park area of Melbourne and wanted to try out a good local restaurant. I used Trip Advisor to select Lord Cardigan and reserved a table for 8pm on a Friday night. We arrived on time and were shown to our table and as I looked around I noticed that not a single table in... More

After an average meal, we were treated very badly by the waitress when we went to pay, in part, with a voucher. It was a voucher we had won and we told the restaurant when we booked and when we arrived that we would be using it. We were then harassed - it was very embarrassing and very disappointing. I...

Having been a regular customer over 4 plus years we went to Lord Cardigan tonight to celebrate the mother in laws 80th birthday and what a treat it was. Great service and food with a large selection of wines to choose from. We sampled half the menu between us - oysters were a highlight - great veal - lamb excellent.... More

We had a lunch with a large group of friends for my birthday. Lovely place, interesting and pleasant decor, great service, and everyone's food was amazing. The prices were good, in fact their lunch specials for a number of courses with wine are very good value! There's plenty of parking around, which is something I always look for - nothing... More

Three of us visited Lord Cardigan last week, and were not disappointed. The service was helpful and friendly, and the food was exceptional. We will definitely go back.

We regularly make the journey from Camberwell to Albert Park to this great eatery. It seats only 40 which, like many of the great French bistros we have enjoyed, affords a much better opportunity for quality control, service and ambience, as it is invariably less noisy. You are really made to feel welcome, and the suggestions for the evening are... More

John and Dominique run a great restaurant in Albert Park. There is always plenty of parking outside the place and we have always been welcome each time we have gone to the dine there. Recently we married and John and Dominique were more than happy to organise a menu for us and happy for us to hire the restaurant out... More

My partner and I dined here the other night. Staff were efficient and friendly. Couldn't fault them at all - service was best we had experienced. Food was absolutely delicious and we cannot wait to return. Couldn't fault anything about the Lord Cardigan. Reasonably priced too. Even the side serve of green vegetable was awesome - and to say that... More
