Terrace Restaurant at the Gonville Hotel

Where it is
The Gonville stands on the inner ring road facing Parker's Piece, the big open green where Cambridge goes to picnic and play games. The restaurant faces north towards the green, and the hotel's Atrium Bar is on the ground floor if you want a drink first. The hotel is a long-established Cambridge address on the inner ring road, a few minutes' walk across the green from the shops of the Grand Arcade and the city centre.
What's on the menu
Food is modern British with a classic bistro feel. At lunch, Monday to Thursday, there is a two- or three-course set menu, while evenings are a little more polished. Reviewers mention dishes such as Sunday roast, burgers, hake and starters like beef cheek ragu, which gives an idea of the style, though the menu changes.
Who it suits
It is a useful choice if you are staying near the station or Mill Road side of town and want a sit-down meal without heading into the busy centre. It also works for a relaxed lunch after a walk across Parker's Piece. The Prince Regent pub and Rocca cafe are close by if you prefer something more casual.
