Having recently moved to Cambridge and dined in many of its restaurants only to be disappointed, how pleased I was to discover the little gem that is Alimentum!
In a town that seems to have somewhat of a void when it comes to dining, this place is a refreshing example of dining on a par with many of the top restaurants in London (it's almost as though some one has picked it up from the city and moved it to Cambridge!)
My partner and I went on a Saturday night and were made to feel welcome from the moment the door was opened for us, right until the very end.
The food was superb and detailed, the wine list interesting and broad, and the service was the best I have seen in town!
There was also a young pianist playing beautifully, I understand he is there every Saturday so we may be returning just to have some of the lovely cocktails they offer and to listen to the music.
I wouldn't say that it was cheap, but you get what you pay for, a bill of 110 (before service) for 3 courses, aperitifs and a bottle of wine was more than reasonable and certainly better value than any where else I have eaten in the area. We'll be back!
