British · Cambridge
Cambridge parents tend to save this one for the meals that matter, and it earns it. The beef Wellington is what people come for — including a mini one sized for a single diner, which is a rare and rather brilliant touch. Scallops with mushy pea purée, truffled gnocchi, sardine pâté and the lunch specials all get their share of praise, and the desserts (crumble, poached pear with coconut ice cream) are worth staying for. Service is the other headline: warm, attentive, the owners often on the floor and happy to steer you through the wine list. Practically, there are high chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options, buggy access and outdoor seating. It's cosy rather than spacious, prices sit at the higher end, and tables get booked up well ahead — one visitor spent four years meaning to come. Book early.
