Scott's - Mill Road

By

I had the pleasure of trying Scott's famous brunch on Mill Road recently. I have walked past this place dozens of times since it has opened (which has been for a while now) but I have never really noticed it until someone recommended I try it. Scott's has replaced the old Golden Curry restaurant opposite the Mill Road Butcher and has been a place I've wanted to try for some time now. Scott's is well known for its "bottomless brunches" which offer a selection of different dishes, including an unlimited supply of alcoholic beverages while you eat (yes, including beer!). The brunch is £35 per head and is limited to 90 minutes, so watch out as this can lead to a very quick and messy level of intoxication if you are desperate to get your money's worth. Upon entering the first thing I noticed was the wall of noise. The place is crammed without a single table spare.

I was lucky enough to be able to swing by a Syrian joint on Mill Road for lunch today. Every time I go through Mill Road I see more and more venues that I do not recognise, so I was glad to be able to catch up on the new restaurants in Cambridge's essential food hub. This cafe/restaurant is small but a very pleasant place to dine in. It's light, beautifully decorated, and the service was spot on.

We only really intended to go in for a few sandwiches (which they also serve) but upon looking at the menu we couldn't resist the temptation of some of the other wonderful things on the menu. The one thing which particularly stood out to me was the Damasbridge special. For £13 they served meatballs in a damascene stew with tomato, peppers and a side of rice. This was absolutely incredible. The m

Congratulations to Mo Maliks!

 A huge congratulations to Mo Maliks for absolutely smashing out Cambridge Foodies end of year poll! The door to ecstasy!  Mo Maliks has not been on the scene long but has already taken the city by storm providing high-quality Indian cuisine from Orchard Park. It has been duly needed too, with North Cambridge suffering from a deficit of high-quality Indian and Bangladeshi restaurants for some time. Winning with a whopping 32 votes, Mo Maliks absolutely destroyed the competition, beating Mitchellin star restaurant Restaurant 22 (24 votes), MJP @ The Shepards (12 votes), and The Banna Leaf on Milton Road (10 votes). But why do we love Mo Maliks?
