16 Guinness bread and whipped butter from Restaurant 22, if only because you know it will be followed by a whole tasting menu. 17 Midsummer House’s masterful tarte tatin (which remains the best dessert I’ve ever had). 18 Jalan Jalan may be taking an extended break frommaking epic street food, but their tofu banh mi still lives on in the memory. 19 Kura Kura’s cashew nut curry and peerless onion bhajis transport me back to Sri Lanka every time I eat them. 20 SmokeWorks’ The Works. Go in hungry, leave very full indeed. 21 Truffle risotto at Parker’s Tavern, where they never say ‘I think you’ve got enough truffle on that already’.
22 The super fresh and super
26 A dish of smoked eel, pistachio and apple from the kitchen of Alimentum. 27 Once upon a time there was a noodle bar called Dojo. We would order No 6 and No 39a and it would always be great. We can no longer do that. My most missed restaurant in Cambridge. 28 (Now off-menu) naga ghost chilli curry at Prana. Rumour has it that they require you to sign a disclaimer nowadays. I don’t remember doing so.
delicious salad bar at The Garden Kitchen. 23 Batch brew filter coffee from Hot Numbers Coffee. 24 The Wandering Yak’s mix and match mezze box. Award- winning for at least seven delicious reasons. 25 A box of six pastéis de nata from Norfolk Street Bakery.
12 Vietnamese-style coffee,
sweetened with condensed milk. A caffeine/sugar double whammy from Urban Larder sure to keep you pepped until lunchtime, at which point… 13 ...they can make you an incredible cheese toastie. 14 Stir-fried chicken with chilli, ginger and spring onion from@72 China. Fiery and seriously tasty. 15 All of Guerrilla Kitchen’s bao are epic but the Fat Hen is the star of the show every time. Pillowy buns and wonderfully flavourful fillings = lunch of dreams.
