I haven't been to Cambridge for a few years now (last visit March 2023?) but I used to go at least annually b/c DH was an old boy.
-Cambridge Wine Merchant on Bridge St opposite Fitzbillies - interesting wines and small plates.
-Rooftop bar at the Varsity
-Restaurant 22 on Chesterton Rd
-Midsummer House is supposed to be amazing but we never happened to go.

Hard to get into 22 or Midsummer House but very worth it. You are more likely to get into Parker's Tavern.
Varsity hotel has a marvellous roof top bar.
Riverside Brasserie is good although I find the Riverside Grill lacking in atmosphere.
The Oak Bistro is excellent.
Galleria restaurant is best for pre theatre food.

Garden House hotel has a nice garden next to the river for afternoon tea. Grantchester Tea Rooms are a tourist visit, very atmospheric.

I like the idea of a rooftop bar, I didnt think of that.
