Cambridge Edition April 2024 - Web

XXXXXXXXXX

Did someone say... brunch? SUNNY SIDE UP Weekend warriors rejoice, as April means National Brunch Month! We share our pick of Cambridge’s finest spots

A CAMBRIDGE CLASSIC

Old Bicycle Shop The Old Bicycle Shop fittingly holds the title as the site of the oldest bicycle shop in the country, where legend has it that Charles Darwin himself once made a purchase! Housed in a two-century-old building, an industrial yet quintessentially Cambridge design pays homage to its heritage; but nowadays, this trendy joint is renowned for its brunch. Served until 3pm daily and catering to carnivores, vegans and gluten- free diets alike, in-house highlights include the plant-based American pancakes with pear, apple and ginger compote and coconut yoghurt (gluten-free options available), and the smoked salmon eggs royale paired with a glass of Coates & Seely English sparkling. Yum!

WEEKEND WONDER

Get off to the perfect start at this Cambridge institution. Fitzbillies boasts a good selection, but its spring menu has noteworthy additions for those seeking something a bit different from a full English (or full Fitzbillies in this case!). Try the garden pea and edamame bean smash on sourdough toast, served with a tomato, red onion and coriander salsa, whipped feta and cream cheese – best washed down with a bloody mary or fresh mimosa. FITZBILLIES
