Restaurant · Cambridge
A market stall rather than a sit-down place, so it suits the pram-and-toddler shuffle better than most — no waiting for a table, and food lands in about a minute and a half, which matters when someone's melting down by the market cross. The patatas bravas are the reason to come: crispy, garlicky, and people genuinely still think about them a year later. The vegan aïoli gets its own fan club, and there's homemade bread and a Spanish omelette sandwich worth ordering on the team's recommendation. Portions are generous and prices low — one family got a sandwich, bravas, churros and a drink for around a tenner. The owners are warm with everyone, handing out tasters as they cook. Go earlier in the day; late afternoon, the potatoes can come out over-fried. Weekends are the reliable days.
