Café Cardinal
Distinctive All Day Dining
Café Cardinal serves buffet breakfast and à la carte menu for lunch, with made-to-order main courses such as buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup, black cod with chorizo, and wok-fried lobster with black peppercorn.
Come dusk, dinner is a fine dining affair, with à la carte and prix-fixe menus featuring dishes that are decidedly French, while the dessert menu entices with the finest selection in all of Ho Chi Minh City as well as an array of imported cheeses.
In addition to its all-day dining offering, the artful venue serves up afternoon tea in high style daily, presenting selections from across the European continent, including favourites such as Austrian linzer torte, French éclairs and English scones.

CUISINE
Café Cardinal’s à la carte menu is a tribute to classical French cuisine, albeit with artful, contemporary aesthetics.
At breakfast, its marble counters are laden with first-course and dessert selections both visually appealing and sumptuous. The restaurant embodies the spirit of an all-day dining menu, with as many as a dozen main courses on offer and made-to-order.
The Restaurant
Flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, Café Cardinal’s impressive atrium dining space features an elegant landscape of gorgeous leather furnishings by Visionnaire paired with Italian marble and set against palatial, hand-laid mosaic art installations.
Decorative masterworks include distinctive chandeliers and light installations by Venini, including a colourful trio designed for Venini by Brazil’s famed Campana Brothers, made of an eclectic array of repurposed glass fragments and copper wires.
