At our bistro restaurant in Cambridge we're influenced by both French and British classics, presented really well and served with knowledge. We keep it simple but flavoursome so that the ingredients are the stars of the show, which are fresh and seasonal. We have a well-priced à la carte menu, a team who know their flambé from their filet and a relaxed setting that everyone can enjoy.

You'll find on hand, your Sommelier is also ready to advise, guide, match or recommend the perfect wine to pair with your dish and introduce you to new wines you may not have explored. If you’re planning a special get together with friends, family, or colleagues, why not enquire about our private dining experiences. It’s the same great Bistro du Vin dining, but in your own private dining room.

    Multiple dates available
    Afternoon tea is the perfect combination of sweet and savoury, although a little naughty, it’s worth every bite. Washed down with a cup of tea from the outstandingly good tea infusions created for us by Bird & Blend Teas focus on developing unique blends of tea. Why not add Champagne to mark the occasion? After all it's all about indulging... To help cater for special dietary requirements we offer three versions of afternoon tea service. As well as our standard offering, we also offer alternative menus for vegetarians/vegans and for those with gluten allergies.

    Disappointing Service was slow. Food orders wrong on each course. Food came at different times. Arrogant French waiter No apologies for wrong food Food quality was average Drinks were poor and expensive No sides served with main dishes which resulted in a hefty bill. Squealing child and singing mother in a restaurant at 830pm Probably won’t bother returning sadly

    Although the food was nice, the service was poor. We waited over half an hour for cocktails and when we asked if we could order from their festive cocktail menu, we were told they didn’t have one, even though we could see it by the entrance. We then ordered a second round of cocktails, waited a further 30 minutes, only to then be told that they weren’t able to make them because it will take them too long. No apology or further explanation was given.

    Service was poor, especially drinks, incomplete rounds, always one forgotten, took ages to get the outstanding drinks in the round & on one occasion brought a different drink to what was ordered but kept it as couldn’t face the wait. Didn’t even put the water on the table, got it ourselves as no one around to ask. Don’t know where they were stationed but not visible from our table So very disappointed they charged 10% service charge for drinks

    Disappointing. They couldn’t find my OpenTable booking when I arrived. The food was cold and I had to take the soup back to the kitchens myself to reheat. The ambience and food when reheated were fine. But service was poor. Not surprised the place was empty. A wasted opportunity.

    Expensive for the poor quality food. The smoked salmon starter was tasteless. It’s was crying out for a dill dressing or similar . The sirloin steak was so tough that my friend had to ask for another knife to cut it. But it was still very chewy . My veg main was non descript This was disappointing as it was a 70 th birthday celebration . We did get given a complimentary glass of bubbly which was a nice touch. Dining room was near empty which suited us but lacked atmosphere .

    As Cambridge restaurants go, this was an enjoyable experience. The food was very good, though perhaps a little unimaginative - the menu had a fair few choices to please most tastes but didn't leap off the page with interesting offerings. There was nothing less than good about the dishes but they did lack the kind of flair that would have made this 'very good' rather than just a good experience. The wine choices however are very good and reasonably priced - I was pleasantly surprised by some of the lower end wines being very drinkable and working well with the food. Service was good, if not the most polished I've experienced, though it was clear considerable effort was being made.

    Second visit to Hotel du Vin after a few years for a special anniversary dinner and unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. Had to ask 3 times for water to be brought to table but starters arrived promptly. I had a reasonable sized portion of mussels but my boyfriend had the parfait which unfortunately came with a side of plastic wrapper. I had duck shepherds pie which tasted ok but lacked a little seasoning. Then bf ordered A £20 main only to be told sides needed to be ordered extra as it came with nothing. Couldn't fault dessert but was disappointed when someone took my glass away and didn't bother to see if I wanted another drink. But At £10 a glass of wine I suppose it saved me some money! Maitre D was very apologetic about starter disaster but was not offered anything. Meal was overpriced for what it was and poor service means I will not be rushing back here.
