Pubs, restaurants and cafes
Cambridge has a number of notable pubs and restaurants, including Midsummer House (two Michelin stars), d'arry's (stocks the full range of d'arenberg wines, and Fitzbillies (famous for its Chelsea buns). Notable for its historical significance is The Eagle pub on Bene't Street, where Watson and Crick reportedly announced their discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, whilst The Riverside Restaurant (part of Cambridge University) combines modern british food with views over the river Cam.

Mill Road, just to the south of the centre, is a lively, cosmopolitan area home to many bistros, mediterranean cafes, curry houses and take-aways.

Just outside Cambridge, in Madingley, The Three Horseshoes gastropub was until recently part of the Huntsbridge group, run by Master of Wine John Hoskins who retains ownership of The Old Bridge in nearby Huntingdon (English Tourism Council Gold Award).

In Grantchester, The Orchard Tea Garden has served morning coffee, light lunches and afternoon tea to "more famous people than anywhere else in the world".

Wine merchants
Cambridge has a number of independent wine merchants, including the award-winning Noel Young Wines (website) in Trumpington, Cambridge Wine Merchants (website) and Bacchanalia (website); most run tutored tastings after hours in the shop on a monthly basis.

There is also a vineyard at Chilford Hall (website) in the nearby village of Linton which makes a number of wines from indigenous grape varieties, including sparkling wine.

Delicatessens and butchers
As well as the usual UK supermarkets, Cambridge has a number of delicatessens and butchers, from the very centre of the city, to the Mill Road area and surrounding villages such as Great Shelford with its local delicatessen (Shelford Delicatessen website).
