During
my visit in Cambridge, we ate at
the Oak Bistro twice. It was highly recommended by a long-time Cambridge resident. And well, I guess you can't really go wrong with a place that's been awarded the Best Restaurant in the 2014 Food & Drink Awards.
 |
| Potato gnocchi in a rich oxtail tomato ragu and parmesan (£7.95) |
The first time, Hubby took me there for dinner. Yes, it lives up to its reputation. No complaints about the hearty portions.
 |
| Confit duck leg, braised red cabbage, mashed potato and rosemary jus (£14.65) |
For that first visit, I had the confit duck leg. No complaints about the duck leg confit - crispy skin, moist meat. Okay, the mash could be a little creamier, but then I shouldn't be complaining just because I want more butter in it. I've developed a whole new appreciation for red cabbage.
For dessert, I had the coconut pannacotta and cognac-flambeed prunes. Didn't get a decent photo of it. It was delicious.
So on my last day
in Cambridge, Hubby had no place planned for food, and asked me where I wanted to go. And I said the Oak Bistro.
 |
| Pan-fried scallops with celeriac puree and lime dressing |
Honestly, it's good food and generous portions, value for
money (by British standards).
 |
| Char-grilled ribeye steak with truffle butter, French fries, salad |
 |
| Cod fillet with mashed potato, lightly spiced Puy lentils, lemon oil |
Definitely recommending this place to friends visiting Cambridge.
