Restaurants in Cambridge offer fine cuisine from around the world. From Mexican to Malaysian you are sure to find it within easy reach of the Town Centre.
The number of restaurants in Cambridge has grown substantially in the last two years, due in part to an increase in the number of Italian migrants settling in the surrounding villages. Not only has this lead to an increase in the number of restaurants, but also in the number of diners passing through their doors.
Another trend that has seen a big increase in the number of people making use of the diverse range is the ever increasing student population who are making the most of student specials and other hot offers that the restaurateurs are promoting.
In the town centre, the two main areas for dining are Regent street and Bridge Street where most of the restaurants are situated.
Regent Street tends to be more noisy and family orientated with the big restaurant chains such as Pizza Express and Pizza Hut dominating the street. There are a couple of good Chinese and Indian restaurants along here, as well as some good pub Grub if Pizza isn’t your thing.
Bridge Street, with the river Cam flowing nearby, is a more tranquil and upmarket setting for dining and that is reflected in the quality of the restaurants. The cuisine is more Bistro and tapas than pizza and curry, although that is also available if that’s what you want. We would recommend Chez Gerard and La Tapas as two good examples of Bridge Street dining.
Outside of the main shopping area, back towards the Grafton Centre you have the student area around Mill Road where a lot of the Indian restaurants are. These tend to cater more for the student crowd and if it’s just a good value curry and a beer you are after you can do much worse than check out the Curry Queen at 106.
