đ My True Foodie Love List for Cambridge
Even though my days in Cambridge were filled with case studies, social events, and last-minute PPTs that made me want to pull my hair out, I stuck to one principleâassignments could be procrastinated, but meals had to be savored. Today, Iâm sharing my personal Cambridge restaurant guideâall tried and tested, honest reviews (and hey, if anyone wants to treat me to a meal, I wonât say no đ). đ´ Fitzbillies A Cambridge classic. No exaggerationâtheir Chelsea Bun was the only thing during my MBA that could convince the whole class without a single slide. Tip: Pair it with a Flat White while watching professors walk by and wondering if theyâre rushing to finish their papers. Downside: Itâs always packed, especially on weekends. Feels like all the dessert lovers in the UK crowd in here. đ´ The Cambridge Chop House Their steak and pies are a true tribute to your stomach. Our MBA graduation dinner was held hereâeveryone raised a glass saying âKeep in touch,â but we all ended up connecting on LinkedIn the very next day. Tip: Book in advance, especially for large groups. The grilled lamb chops are a must-try. đ´ MillWorks This was my sanctuary during mid-thesis anxiety. The river view is amazing, and the food is on the healthier sideâso you can enjoy guilt-free. Highly recommend their wood-fired pizza. The moment that cheese stretches, I almost believe my data analysis could go that smoothly too.đ đ´ Aromi Located in the city center, it serves Italian-style pizza, sandwiches, and desserts. Affordable and quickâperfect for squeezing in a bite between classes. Tip: The Pistachio Croissant deserves to go viral. Stuffed with rich pistachio cream, itâs sweet enough to make you forget about failing an exam.đ đ´ Pint Shop Great beer and snacksâthe fried cauliflower and chicken wings are my go-to while chatting and gossiping with classmates.đ Youâll often run into PhD students here sipping beer and discussing quantum physics, making you wonder if youâve tuned into the wrong channel. đ A Few Tips from Your Foodie Senior 1ď¸âŁ Dining in Cambridge isnât cheap overall, but lunch menus are generally more affordable than dinner.đ 2ď¸âŁ Always book in advance on weekends and during peak tourist seasons (especially graduation season). 3ď¸âŁ Donât just stay in the city centerâexplore eateries in nearby towns like Granchesterâs Orchard Tea Garden. It feels like stepping into a British drama!đ #CambridgeUniversity #StudyInTheUK #CambridgeAdmissions #StudentEats #UKMasters
