How this list is chosen: Restaurants serving a tasting menu or omakase, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.

Fin Boys
On Cambridge's food-rich Mill Road, Fin Boys has built a following around seasonal seafood handled with care and a strong Japanese accent. Counter seats, window perches, and an ever-changing menu of sustainable fish, from dry-aged bluefin tuna to Cornish monkfish, make it one of the street's most focused dining propositions. The drinks list runs fish-friendly, and the cooking wastes little.
Midsummer House
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
Set inside a Victorian villa overlooking Midsummer Common, Midsummer House holds two Michelin stars and a 92-point La Liste ranking, placing it firmly among Britain's most decorated destination restaurants. Chef Daniel Clifford's tasting menus draw on European haute cuisine technique while keeping one foot in native British produce. Lunch service runs at roughly half the dinner price, making it the more considered entry point for first visits.
Navadhanya
On Newmarket Road, Navadhanya occupies a quieter stretch of Cambridge's dining scene where Indian cooking rooted in ethical sourcing sits apart from the city's formal fine-dining corridor. The kitchen draws on the breadth of the subcontinent's regional traditions rather than defaulting to the Anglo-Indian canon that still dominates much of the UK market. For a city better known for its tasting-menu rooms, it represents a different kind of seriousness.
Restaurant Twenty-Two
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred address in a Victorian townhouse on Chesterton Road, Restaurant Twenty-Two holds a distinct position in Cambridge dining: classically rooted technique delivered with contemporary precision and genuine warmth. The set lunch (Thursday only) and evening tasting menus draw on luxurious ingredients handled with care, from 48-hour braised wagyu to in-house soft pairings.
Vanderlyle
On Mill Road, Cambridge's most independently-minded stretch, Vanderlyle holds a Michelin Plate. Alex Rushmer's cooking draws on regenerative-agriculture sourcing and seasonal discipline, with alcohol-free pairings as carefully considered as the wine list. Booking opens monthly on Tock and fills fast.
