Cambridge

This seat of learning has no real reputation for being a hotbed of culinary talent, but there are still some first-rate eateries to be found in Cambridge. The city’s attraction as a tourist destination means that there are a number of traditional cafes and tea houses to satisfy foreign visitors. With an eye on restaurants, Dojo is a firm favourite with the student population as its food is very reasonably priced (£5 for a main course) and portions are robust to say the least. Though the price is no reflection of quality and the food is succulent and tasty. Footlights is a fresh, new Mexican restaurant with a vibrant décor and atmosphere. Brown’s, perhaps the country’s most upper class chain, offers the usual tremendously appetizing menu with a special mention for the steaks. Rainbow Vegetarian Bistro should satisfy the veggie lover, with a wide ranging choice of vegetarian and vegan dishes, with gluten and nut free options. Café Uno is a must for those who love the bistro experience.

Eating out places and healthy eating in Britain.tv’s Choice of the Month: Midsummer House

To be found nestled on the south side of the river, Midsummer House is hard to miss and is strikingly unique. The dining takes place in an extensive and beautifully constructed conservatory, giving wonderful views of the river flowing by. The fare is exquisite and based on French and Mediterranean cooking styles. No matter what season, the Midsummer House restaurant is always popular so making a reservation in a must. Such decadence doesn’t come cheap but the meal will be remembered and talked of for years to come.
