Why Travelers Love Café Cathedral
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.1 / 5.0(2,364 reviews)
We had really nice bruschetta as a starter. My partner had reindeer steak and I had the salmon with pasta. Both the steak and salmon were overcooked which was disappointing as the food looked great. Portions are good, we left there full. Staff is nice and friendly. Had a great dining experience — the food was excellent with very fresh ingredients. I tried reindeer steak for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were just right, leaving me satisfied without feeling too full. Thw atmosphere is very pleasant, and the food is VERY VERY GOOD (you should try the pasta with salmon). If I had to point out a negative point, I would say that we had to ask for water several times, but the waiters are still very nice and will always be there !

Amazing diner at the cafe cathedral. Everything was great. We didn’t wait to get a table, and our drinks came really quickly. The food was delicious we shared a pizza and some pasta and both were excellent. The tiramisu and the crumble were delicious. Dinos our waiter was truly great ! Really thoughtful and funny !

Nice location and ambiance, unfortunately that's the only good thing going for this restaurant. The pesto pasta is too salty, although the serving size is really good. The service is terrible. It took 15 minutes before someone took my order, and it wasn't even lunch rush hour. Wouldn't go back here.
