FOOD & DR INK
CAMBR IDGE COOKERY Airy and laid-back with a Scandinavian vibe, Cambridge Cookery has been picking up fans with its excellent weekend bistro nights. But did you know it also does a mean line of brunches? The menu takes inspiration from around the world – from Swedish platters of pickled herring, dark rye and Västerbotten mature sourdough bread. There’s also porridge adorned with seasonal fruits, pancakes, French toast and all sorts of freshly baked pastries to be enjoyed. Drinks include fizz, Aperol Spritz and Bloody Marys. BEST FOR: SOPHISTICATED FOOD IN A RELAXED SETTING cheese, to Turkish-style poached eggs in hot chilli butter with homemade
FITZBILLIES Part of Cambridge life since 1920, Fitzbillies is a local institution most famous for its cakes and legendary sticky buns. But have you heard that the original Trumpington Street cafe is also an in-the-know brunch gem? Pull up a chair in the cheery cafe and feast on fluffy pancakes dripping with maple syrup, (or Chelsea bun syrup if you’d rather!), minute steak with eggs and caper salsa or steaming bowls of spicy shakshuka. The Full Fitzbillies – with its plump sausages (sourced fromMill Road Butchers), thick slices of sourdough toast, smoked bacon and chunky hash browns takes some beating, plus there’s veggie and vegan options. Wash it all down with mimosas, bellinis and Bloody Marys. Brunch is served from opening until 4pm. BEST FOR: A CELEBRATORY CITY CENTRE BRUNCH
