LOVE CAMBRIDGE Restaurant Week DINE WITH A DISCOUNT AT TOP EATERIES AROUND CAMBRIDGE AS THE CITY’S FIRST-EVER RESTAURANT WEEK ARRIVES IN APRIL
A ttention foodies! The inaugural Love Cambridge Restaurant Week is landing next month, bringing a week’s worth of discounts on top dining experiences around the city from 1 to 7 April. The event is organised by Cambridge Business Improvement District (BID), an organisation funded by businesses in the city to deliver a range of projects that enhance and promote Cambridge to locals and visitors alike. Aimed at encouraging residents to explore the city’s vibrant food scene and find new gems, Restaurant Week sees the city’s eateries serving special set menus at £5, £10 or £15 – a great opportunity to snap up feasts at a bargain price. “People will get value for money and the participating restaurants will get an increase in footfall. We hope it will encourage people to dine in places they haven’t been to before,” explains Kristian Foreman, marketing and communications executive at Cambridge BID. “If it can get people into the city who would not normally come, then it should also help
other sectors in Cambridge, too. Similar festivals in the UK and beyond have already been very popular, and we are hopeful it will have the same success in Cambridge.” The line-up of participating restaurants is sure to tempt visitors, with everything from discounted gourmet burgers at Steak & Honour on Wheeler Street and £5 lunches at Novi to a slap-up three-course sample menu for just £15 at the gorgeous Tamburlaine Hotel. You can take off on a global culinary adventure with all the different cuisines on offer, exploring Italian fare at De Luca Cucina & Bar, authentic Mexican eats at Nanna Mexico, Spanish chorizo at Tabanco and French flammekueche from Amélie at the Grafton Centre, to name just a few. As well as all these beloved local independents, various big brands are getting in on the Restaurant Week fun, including Jamaica Blue, which is offering a £15 set lunch menu, and the restaurant at the Hilton DoubleTree on Mill Lane, where you can enjoy one course for £10, or two for £15.
To claim your discounted meal, visit the Cambridge BID website, see what tickles your fancy and then download the relevant voucher, which you’ll need to bring along when you eat. Then, you’re all set to grab a fork and get ready to explore and celebrate the city’s thriving restaurant scene: we’ve got a taster of what offers you can get where on the next page – happy eating!
