Here at Things to do In Cambridge we know there are hundreds of great places to eat in and around the city to suit all pockets…..we wish we could mention them all! Just to get you started we have put together a Top Ten of our favorites, of course if you know of a brilliant dining experience anywhere that we haven’t featured, please share it with us…we’d love to know.

These two sister restaurants are set in two locations across the city, The Varsity in Regent Street is one of the oldest restaurants in Cambridge, Trinity in Trinity Street have now both been given a total make over and offer sophisticated, elegant dining, serving modern British food with a twist. http://www.trinitycambridge.co.uk/ http://www.varsityrestaurant.co.uk/
