Full marks to the Manager for redeeming this restaurant with a generous discount after a disappointing dining experience. Great first impression, warm welcome, lovely table linen, nautical artwork, vibrant atmosphere but issues with the food and the service led us to consult with the Manager who understood that like everybody else we prefer to have a carefree meal.

There were 2 of us for lunch. Service was unhurried and attentive. Every course was lovely and adjustments made for dishes that contained items we wouldn't enjoy. We walked across the common and had a slight difficulty locating it but really that was not big problem.

What a great find. Although it was early in the evening we came across this restaurant looking for somewhere to eat on a Friday evening. Although it was busy, they found a table for us downstairs. Service was excellent and we all chose from the pre-theatre menu where we had 3 courses for £20 which excludes drinks and extras. The quality of the food and the presentation were both really good and we really couldn’t fault anything. One of the best meals we’ve had as a group of 6. You won’t be disappointed.

We took our French friends to dinner to experience a quality English restaurant.I was not let down. The food service team provided a caring and attentive service.The kitchen team demonstrated their creative culinary skills with food that was perfectly presented at good temperatures, full of delicious flavours, textures and blends of interesting ingredients, all at reasonable prices.The highlight for me was the sea trout which was absolutely right on the point of being perfectly cooked with wonderful flavours. Well done!

A colleague and I were staying in Cambridge for a week for a course and decided to try Tu Casa after reading the reviews and we're so glad we did!The service is top notch, very friendly, helpful, attentive and helped with my wine selection, which was yummy!Instead of having a main meal each we opted for various tapas to share; prawns, potatoes, meatballs, croquets with chorizo and a cheese plata. Oh my goodness it was all so delicious! We enjoyed every last bite and are looking to go again when we next attend our course.Thank you Tu Casa!

Visited Cotto to celebrate our 57th Wedding Anniversary and both being born in Cambridge, had memories of the Gonville Hotel. The addition of Cotto, with its glass extension is a pleasant addition. Whilst serving our pre dinner drinks, the barman enquired whether we had a reservation. Once seated we were presented with the menus, plus canapés. Our table by the window was excellent as was the meal and wine, served by attentive staff. Our meal was concluded with a presentation of a decorated plate of chocolates, with a suitable inscription for our 57th year together. No hesitation in recommending.

Amelie Flam-kuche

A mega tasty, mega thin crispy flatbread topped with the freshest mouthwatering ingredients. Perfect from dawn till dusk!

Reviewed By futtock21

If only every shopping centre’s food hall could have such an outlet! Lucky Grafton Centre to have instead of the usual Big Boys’ Burgers or Trivial Tapas let alone Pasta Naff the culinary delight that are Amelie’s Flamkuchen. These are essentially light and crispy Alsatian flatbreads adorned with delicacies ranging from the ‘authentic’ smoked bacon and gruyere cheese with creme fraiche through salmon and avocado, Moroccan lamb, courgettes chickpeas and honey to goats cheese and beetroot. I chose prawn with mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, capers and sweet chilli sauce. This I would receded by the creamiest of pea soups and followed by a sweet flatbread with apple and raisins. All washed down with a bottle of Amelie’s specially commissioned ale from the Stour valley. Altogether a heavenly way to forget about the contested domestic abuse and general nastiness of a family case in which I was involved later in the afternoon.

We had lunch here last week,the first time we’ve eaten at this restaurant.We chose the seven course tasting menu plus wine pairings and were frankly blown away by the experience,the food was faultless both in terms of flavour combinations and presentation.The staff were equally impressive,young and enthusiastic but thoroughly professional.We particularly enjoyed our conversations with the sommelier as he presented us with our wine pairings which all matched their respective courses perfectly.I can’t remember when we were more impressed when eating at a restaurant for the first time and we’ll definitely be back in the near future.
