Beautiful setting in Cambridge centre. Delicious food - recommend the vegan burger and pea and shallot gnocchi. Good cocktails too. All served by friendly staff.

Two of us ate outside on a Tuesday lunchtime. It was busy which made service a little slow but the two waiters were very friendly and created a lovely atmosphere. Cocktails were good and the food we had (chicken escalope) was really delicious and good portion sizes. I’m finding it harder to feel that eating out is worth it at the moment, but the combination of atmosphere and good quality food and drink was a winner here. Thank you.

Such a lovely bistro. Dinner was fantastic with lots of menu choices, all very tasty and arrived quickly. Great drinks & cocktails menu too. Well worth a visit, but book first as it gets full fast!

Light lunch of various cold meats and cheese with tasty bread and good selection of wine and cocktails. Ate outside on a lovely sunny afternoon, enjoying a nice view of Kings. BUT slightly expensive for what it was, hence 4 stars. The waitress seemed to be working on her own, so she was kept busy even though not all tables were occupied, but she was friendly and cheerful, which added to the good ambience.
