Nearby restaurants/pubs where to eat (reservations recommended):
Cambridge is full of restaurants and places to drink. To make your choice that little bit easier, the LOC have made a list of some personal favourites. You can see all these places on a map here
Restaurants | |
| St. Johns Chophouse | British Restaurant, and as the name suggests very meat orientated. Only a short walk from the department. You need to order by 7pm for their earlybird special. (Northampton St.) |
| Coast | A nice fish restaurant in Cambridge. A good place for fish & chips, both for eat-in or takeaway. There are other good things on the menu, with the fishcakes as a good choice.(Trinity St.) |
| Smokeworks | Excellent BBQ food with large portions. Reservations are not possible, so on busy days you need to get there early, or sign up to the waiting list and have a drink in the Eagle (Bene't St.) |
| La Tasca | A Spanish restaurant & Tapas Bar (14-16 Bridge Street, Cambridge) |
| Zizzi | Intalian restaurant. An inexpensive option, but reasonable for what it is (Bene't St.) |
