 Best bar none |
36-37 St Andrew's Street Cambridge CB2 3AR United Kingdom +44 1223 37 1081 |
Situated on St Andrew's Street between Emmanuel College and Downing College, this bar is a marvellous place to relax. The sandwiches are something special and help to cheer up many a dull lunchtime. Try the flour tortilla wrap filled with flaked salmon, lemon mayonnaise and herb salad, or crumbled goats cheese salad with French beans, cashew nuts, egg and balsamic dressing. All Bar One also has an extensive range of hot, cold and alcoholic drinks. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bold, in-your-face and modern—that's how you can describe Brasserie Chez Gérard! This all-out French eatery is different from the others on the block and that's what attracts the crowd. Stark blues, browns and purples adorn walls, which go in contrast with the beige upholstery. The food is as impressive and they serve dishes like steak-frites, confit de canard, filet de loup and escargots. The service is good and the ambiance, relaxed. Paris is finally in Cambridge!

If you prefer a soft North American muffin to a traditional English rock cake, then head towards the bus station, where nearby you'll find this small cafe. There are two floors, though the upper floor tends to be more smoky and older male dominated. However downstairs you can also sit outside when the weather is good, and if you're not in the mood for a sweet cake, then try the savory muffins available such as the pesto or basil pizza varieties.

Chopsticks can get somewhat cramped, so it's definitely not the place to head for if you mind prying eyes. Having said that, the restaurant does offer good food and service, and if you don't fancy having a sit-down meal then you can always opt for the takeaway option. Chopsticks provides good value for money Chinese food in a simple setting. Bringing your own drink also means that you can enjoy a full meal for a little over £5, which certainly isn't bad at all. The set menus are also a good investment, particularly if you are out with a group of friends and fancy trying a variety of tasty dishes. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Gourmet delights |
22 Chesterton Road Cambridge CB4 3AX United Kingdom +44 1223 35 1880 http://www.restaurant22.co.uk/ |
You can find this restaurant in a most unassuming place - it is right on the street corner of a busy junction on Chesterton Road. Indeed the restaurant is small, but the ambience is wonderful - candlelit tables are arranged exquisitely and every detail is covered from the bread to the napkins. You can order from the fixed price menu which changes on a regular basis. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Authentic Italian cuisine |

You'll get freshly baked ciabatta sandwiches here made with real imported Italian flour. The pizza style breads also use only authentic ingredients from Italy, virgin olive oil, Italian tomatoes, Parma ham, mozzarella and basil and oregano. This cafe is a real gem and is lovely in the summer when you can sit outside or simply settle down indoors to watch MTV or flick through a newspaper or magazine. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Curry house on the hill |
71 Castle Street Cambridge CB3 0AH United Kingdom +44 1223 31 2569 |
The Star of India completes the trio of curry houses on Castle Hill, the Cambridge Curry Centre and the Maharajah being the other two establishments in this neck of the woods. Inside, The Star of India isn't quite as up-market as the Maharajah, but you'll still be able to relax in the surroundings. The Star attracts a varied clientele, but is particularly popular with students. If the restaurant is not too busy then you'll be in for a pleasant night out, but if it is jam-packed then you may find that the service is occasionally hurried. The Star of India provides all styles of curry. Hot, cold, non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Starters range from dhal soup and tomato to king prawn butterfly. Beers, wines and spirits, as well as soft drinks are all available to help wash down your meal.
