Modern British restaurants in Cambridge

  1. A

    Midsummer House

    In a Victorian villa backing onto the river, this sophisticated place is a gastronomic delight. Chef Daniel’s creations, justifying their two Michelin stars, are distinguished by depth of flavour, great technical skill and expert pairings of ingredients. Expect the likes of slow-roast duck with sweet potato and grapefruit, and sea bass with truffle. Service is exemplary and free of pretention.

    Michaelhouse

    Sip fair-trade coffee and nibble focaccias among soaring medieval arches or else take a pew within reach of the altar at this stylishly converted church, which still has a working chancel. The simple lunch menu features quiche, soup and salads, as well as more substantial hot dishes, and has a good range of vegetarian options.

    Oak Bistro

    This great local favourite serves up simple, classic dishes with modern flair, such as tuna nicoise salad and slow-roasted lamb. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, the decor minimalist and there's even a hidden walled garden for alfresco dining. Reservations are essential even for lunch due to its size and popularity.

    CB2

    Internet cafe, bistro, music venue and cinema all rolled into one, this lively place dishes up a great range of rustic cuisine in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The menu features everything from salads, pastas and wraps to heartier bistro specials. There's live music on the top floor on Wednesday nights and every other Thursday. To get here take a left off Parkside onto East Rd. Norfolk St is about 300m along on the right.
