From the independently minded Mill Road to decades old dining institutions, Cambridge has an excellent selection of restaurants - you just need to know where to look. Here’s our pick of the best places to eat out in the historic city.
What began as a minor accolade in the 2010 edition of the Guide is now the most important event in our calendar. Thanks to your nominations, and the undercover work of our inspectors, our 100 Best Local Restaurants celebrate the very best of local dining in Britain today.
Cambridge, small as it is, isn’t without good restaurants. Fame has likely helped. But a prestigious institution does not guarantee food worth eating, and even if the pubs are old and crooked in their charm, elsewhere dining rooms well dressed, there are duds aplenty in the city, just as there are in Oxford. And so let us be guided. Local Alex Rushmer, the owner of the restaurant Vanderlyle, offers his expertise.
