The best restaurants in Ely East East Cambridgeshire East of England

A lovely, friendly cafe serving excellent toasties and homemade scones. My mum and I greatly enjoyed our lunch there. I highly recommend it!

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

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 🙏

From the moment we arrived and Antonia opened the door to us... We felt welcomed and knew we were somewhere very special. The grounds and interior are tasteful and immaculate. Antonia's tips on places to eat were welcome. Will be back when the dining room is open all year round, as once there you feel like you don't want to leave ! We were one of only a few rooms occupied, with the separate lounges, you could always find a quiet spot when busier. There are outdoor seating areas for warmer days and all have a fabulous view. Thank you for sharing The Old Hall with us. We would highly recommend for a family gathering, it is definitely perfect for a wedding !

Another great micro pub. It's the future.

Nice place to get some good food … not to expensive, and friendly staff

Love this place, huge selection of craft beer & service with a smile.

5 stars across the board! Lovely food, friendly service and really good vibes!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Okay guys, this place is amazing so we ordered our food for Take away, but we got stuck in traffic so we had to keep changing the order pick up time. I think we were an hour late But when we picked up the food and took it home, it was still hot and it was One of the most amazing Turkish foods I’ve ever tasted in my life absolutely delicious Great job guys we’re actually going back for more today Ordered again & o my god heaven on a plate totally delicious

Very enjoyable Sunday afternoon meal in this chic eaterie. Good menu with lots of variety and vegetarian choices, shame some dishes not available on a Sunday. We were told one of the meals was mild but it was so spicy sister in law couldn't eat it, resolved by the staff with no fuss at the time. Pil pil prawns were so good! Like most places now it is expensive and drinks really push the bill up but for a one off as a celebration it was nice.

Just under £32 for one cup of tea and two Welsh rarebit, which was one slice of half burnt half undercooked bread, tasteless cheese and a just ok accompanying salad each, in my view constitutes pretty poor value for money, would not go again tbh.

Good coffee, great tasting cake.

My wife and I went for a three night break to Ely and visited Lev Spice Indian restaurant on the first night for the Tuesday night banquet and wasn’t disappointed , lovely food , great service, lovely hospitality ; friendly staff . We enjoyed it that much we dined there the following two nights . We will definitely be back again, do yourself a favour if you like Indian food get yourself down to Le Spice , thanks to all the team for making our visit to Ely special .

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.
