The best restaurants in Ely East East Cambridgeshire East of England

2nd visit, love the great position and lovely staff. Easy access to town and cathedral. We walked from the train station .

We had a really good evening together celebrating an 80th birthday. all of us want to come back to Old Hall for another experience. Some ideas that would make the evening even better.... a menu without the prices so that we could identify each of the delicacies..... something to deal with the flies..{a minor irritation}... a method of attracting someone to attend the bar when we needed it. These did not spoil our evening but would have made it even better. Grazing

Sushi is SUPER fresh and very flavorful !! Service , JD the manager was super helpful with suggestions and making sure our service was memorable (:

FABULOUS! We were visiting Ely for the first time and getting a bit peckish! Walked through the market and stumbled across this place. Outside seating was full so we asked for takeaway. The young man serving was polite and welcoming. We ordered two bagels - Nordic and The pastrami one (whose name I’ve forgotten). They came beautifully presented in Eco friendly boxes with compostable cutlery etc, fresh and delicious garnish of salad plus a few crisps. I work in hospitality, often judging chefs, and these guys are awesome. The ingredients were of high quality and a simple Bagel was delivered with perfection! THANK YOU 🙏

A most pleasant stay in a beautiful house in a fantastic setting.

Excellent selection of cider, cask and keg beers.

Lovely little place, with a great atmosphere and good selection of beers. Can fill up quite quickly and seated space indoors is at a premium. A friendly welcome from the staff. I found the beer prices quite high but other than that I’d recommend a visit

Quality food good service definitely recommend

Food was great, service was let down by mains being served before starters - promptly made up for with a round of free drinks, and the atmosphere was typical of late Sunday afternoon dining with loads of excited kids around, including the messy little bugger we bought along 🤣

Mediocre food, unsure why it’s rated so highly, the tacos were good but starters and everything a little more “out of the norm” were pretty tasteless. The menu seems intriguing but execution lacking. Was told we needed to give the table up in 20 mins despite getting there half hour before our booking and the restaurant being less than half full.

We visited this teahouse twice in a week. The scones are delicious, the huge diversity of teas allows everyone to find its favourite flavour. The soup of the day-ginger and carrots-was excellent in this cold weather. The atmosphere is old-fashioned but trendy.

An amazing little tea shop set in the grounds of Ely Cathedral serving freshly made cakes, sandwiches and drinks.

I visited Le Spice with my wife as a last minute booking: the owner, Amin was flexible and accommodating when we needed to get there a little earlier. The welcome is always warm at the Le Spice, and the service excellent. Mushroom Biryani is not on the menu but we were told that one would be made for us. I had my usual garlic chilli chicken. Both meals were exceptional. The chicken was so tender and the rice was superb! Do go to Le Spice!

This lovely tea room has indoor seating but also has seats outdoors at the back looking onto the cathedral. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Our food was freshly prepared and tasty. Would definitely go back.

What a gem; this place is amazing as are the super staff. Beer drinkers heaven with well over 100 to chose from in bottles and cans plus some great draught beers. Come here every year around my birthday and never fail to be made very welcome. Heartily recommend paying this place a visit and its only 150m from Ely Cathedral.
