The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Trumpington Cambridge East of England

We visited The Oak Bistro for a work dinner and celebration, so this review is based on a set menu rather than the à la carte options. That said, both the food and service were excellent. The dishes delivered on expectations for French classics. The service was particularly impressive. Staff was friendly, attentive, and accommodating of a variety of allergies in our group. My only minor comment is that the larger group area, being semi-outside, was slightly noisy at times, with the sound of church bells ringing quite loudly. However, this wasn’t a major issue and didn’t impact the overall experience. Highly recommended for a special occasion or group dinner!

Grubby plastic marque. Drinks took ages to come out, cocktails were underwhelming, small menu (which is fine, but they didn't have everything on it). Starters came out but olives and nuts we ordered didn't come - eventually (when everyone had finished their starters), a grubby bowl of olives came out but they had no nuts! Wine was expensive for what it was. Mains dribbled out, rather than all coming together, rare steak wasn't rare, food wasn't particularly hot. Tiny risotto. We had pudding and a couple of us ordered what we were told was homemade Bailey's ice cream with a chocolate fondant - it turned out to be bay leaf ice cream, which didn't go particularly well! Had some more underwhelming and overpriced cocktails in the bar. Woke up this morning feeling hard done by and then read a text from one of our party asking if I thought we should complain. Really disappointing and certainly not what you'd expect from an upmarket central Cambridge hotel. Won't be heading back.
