At our bistro restaurant in Cambridge we're influenced by both French and British classics, presented really well and served with knowledge. We keep it simple but flavoursome so that the ingredients are the stars of the show, which are fresh and seasonal. We have a well-priced à la carte menu, a team who know their flambé from their filet and a relaxed setting that everyone can enjoy.

You'll find on hand, your Sommelier is also ready to advise, guide, match or recommend the perfect wine to pair with your dish and introduce you to new wines you may not have explored. If you’re planning a special get together with friends, family, or colleagues, why not enquire about our private dining experiences. It’s the same great Bistro du Vin dining, but in your own private dining room.

Afternoon Tea
£15.95 - £29.95 per person
Multiple dates available
Afternoon tea is the perfect combination of sweet and savoury, although a little naughty, it’s worth every bite. Washed down with a cup of tea from the outstandingly good tea infusions created for us by Bird & Blend Teas focus on developing unique blends of tea. Why not add Champagne to mark the occasion? After all it's all about indulging... To help cater for special dietary requirements we offer three versions of afternoon tea service. As well as our standard offering, we also offer alternative menus for vegetarians/vegans and for those with gluten allergies.

A bit of a disappointment. It didn't start well, arrived and they couldn't find my booking, and didn't handle that very well. Once we finally sat down we ordered but the staff didn't know the menu and had to keep asking the chef (who clearly didn't care). We went for Sunday lunch, the roasts were good but if you're not having a roast the other items were overpriced (eg Halloumi Schnitzel). The service was attentive but clearly lacking proper training and/or experience. Overall, a real shame as it has the potential, we won't be rushing back.

Service was poor. Plates for starters were left on table even after we had finished. Mains were brought out while the plates were still on the table. We had to lift the plates up so the mains could be placed on the table. Service was very slow.

Disappointing Service was slow. Food orders wrong on each course. Food came at different times. Arrogant French waiter No apologies for wrong food Food quality was average Drinks were poor and expensive No sides served with main dishes which resulted in a hefty bill. Squealing child and singing mother in a restaurant at 830pm Probably won’t bother returning sadly

Although the food was nice, the service was poor. We waited over half an hour for cocktails and when we asked if we could order from their festive cocktail menu, we were told they didn’t have one, even though we could see it by the entrance. We then ordered a second round of cocktails, waited a further 30 minutes, only to then be told that they weren’t able to make them because it will take them too long. No apology or further explanation was given.

Service was poor, especially drinks, incomplete rounds, always one forgotten, took ages to get the outstanding drinks in the round & on one occasion brought a different drink to what was ordered but kept it as couldn’t face the wait. Didn’t even put the water on the table, got it ourselves as no one around to ask. Don’t know where they were stationed but not visible from our table So very disappointed they charged 10% service charge for drinks

Disappointing. They couldn’t find my OpenTable booking when I arrived. The food was cold and I had to take the soup back to the kitchens myself to reheat. The ambience and food when reheated were fine. But service was poor. Not surprised the place was empty. A wasted opportunity.
