Harden's says

In the building occupied for almost 50 years by well-known Italian restaurant Don Pasquale, at the edge of Cambridge's ancient marketplace, this new multi-level space incorporates a restaurant, an all-day cafe, a wine bar, a food lab and flexible meetings rooms over five floors of the Grade II listed building.

“Fresh clean flavours, beautifully prepared and presented” are the distinguishing feature of the modern British menu at this two-year-old project in the former premises of long-serving Italian restaurant Don Pasquale. Founders Bill Brogan and his partner Jinzhao Li last year re-launched the basement wine bar as a pan-Asian restaurant.

“A very well-balanced wine list” is an attraction at this autumn 2022 newcomer, which combines both a restaurant and wine bar (the latter evenings-only in a crypt-like space). Early feedback is quite limited, but says the modern British cuisine can be “excellent” (and The Telegraph’s William Sitwell was also a fan, hailing – in a very early doors visit – “wholesome, generous cooking”, albeit with a few “experimentally disastrous” dishes).

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
