A lunchtime treat for office workers, tourists, students, in fact anyone who loves food that's clearly been prepared by people who love food too!

I have visited this cafe lots over the years and the food is always excellent. The coffee, pastries and bread are good and there is usually a selection of delicious special dishes of the day plus a range of tasty salads. It's handy for the botanic gardens too!

Without a doubt my favourite place in Cambridge to eat - great value, amazing French food - for both meat eaters and vegetarians and wonderful warm friendly service.

The counter is inviting with lots of specials on display, however the experiences deteriorates from there. I sat down for 10 minutes whilst the staff simply looked at me before I took the initiative and went to the counter to order. I worked out my own change since the woman on the cash desk seemed incapable of basic maths. I... More

Ridiculously overpriced. £28.50 for a starter, dessert & glass of wine??? The food was basic bistro fare, nothing special. Avoid.

I've walked past this restaurant many times but never had dinner there. By day it is a cafe which I've never found super appealing, but by night it's transformed! It has a standard menu but also a long list of specials, and a short wine list (by the bottle only). A two-course meal from the set menu is a reasonable... More

We ate here last week after friends had given us a tip off that it was great food. We feel it was average food if not a little expensive for what you got. But all in all we had a lovely time. Great sevice. We will give it another go
