This Victorian townhouse has hosted a restaurant for many years and has long been a feature of Cambridge’s dining scene. Its current guardians are Sam and Alex, a young couple who’ve really made it their own. Sam’s food is poised, detailed and very precise; he has all the techniques and his plates are beautifully presented – go for one of the set menus and you’ll leave feeling impressed but also sated. The house has a bright, understated style and the young and enthusiastic service team – who explain the make-up of the dishes in full – keep the atmosphere welcoming and relaxed.
