WINTER D INING GU I DE
CAFÉ FOY Nestled on the banks of the River Cam, you’ll find Café Foy, whose menu is a crowd-pleaser for all seasons. This Quayside
charmer is known for its satisfying soups and small plates, as well as a selection of scrumptious homemade cakes and top- quality coffees. It’s the perfect place to relax as you watch the punts go by – we’d recommend a brunch-time visit to get one of the showstopping sourdough toasties, with a warming (or alcoholic!) drink to ward off the winter chill, of course. cafefoy.com
FITZBILLIES No list of Cambridge cafe
recommendations is complete without fan favourite Fitzbillies. Now in its centenary year,
Fitzbillies has garnered nationwide fame for its deliciously sticky chelsea buns, but come Christmas time, it’s all about the homemade mince pies and meringue snowmen. Get your fix at the original branch on Trumpington Street, or hit up the shop on Bridge Street. fitzbillies.com
SCOTT’S ALL DAY On Mill Road’s most bustling corner, Scott’s All Day is a neighbourhood cafe by day and a pizzeria by night. The bright and
airy room has been carved from two shop fronts with huge windows on two sides, featuring a comfortable, casual space with stripped-back interiors with original features. With great coffee, brunch and lunch during the day, and sourdough pizza, locally brewed beer and cocktails in the evenings, Scott’s is a sure-fire winner for a festive pit stop. Plus, you can get half- price pizzas all day every Wednesday – and from 1 November, you can order the new festive pizza with roasted brussel sprouts! scottsallday.com
RELEVANT RECORDS Music lovers may be familiar with Relevant Records, but the vinyl vendor also boasts its own cosy cafe, providing a handy mid-shop
retreat. With toasted sandwiches, fresh salad bowls and tasty brunches, the menu packs a punch – the Mexican brunch is a real winner. We love the happy hour for a couple of cocktails and a homemade pizza too; you really can’t go wrong with the cafe’s friendly, laid-back atmosphere. relevantrecordcafe.co.uk
