Margaret's Cambridge

You'll find Margaret's tucked away on Chesterton Road, in that stretch where the city starts feeling less touristy and more like somewhere locals actually live. It's the kind of place that doesn't shout about itself, which is precisely why it's rammed most nights with people who know what they're doing. The cooking is confident and ingredient-led—they're not messing around with unnecessary tricks, just taking good things and treating them right. The kind of neighbourhood spot that makes you grateful you live here, or at least know someone who does.
