Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We’ve always been a huge fan of Restaurant 22 and have been looking forward to trying since opening. Very pleased to say that the quality of food and level of service has been mirrored at Margaret’s. Majority of the menu was also gluten free and a great selection of wines. Looking forward to our next visit already and will be recommending to friends and family."
"Treated my partner to a birthday dinner at Margaret’s and we had a fantastic time. The food was delicious, their service was so attentive and the atmosphere was so cozy. The only thing we didn’t love was the shortbread dessert, but the sticky toffee saved it!"
"Lunch at Margaret's was nice, although some things could have been better. The food experience was mixed. The warm bread, oil & vinegar was lovely. Starters were good, tomato & goats cheese salad & duck terrine, and they asked & brought out extra bread to go with my terrine. My wife's aubergine main was lovely, although my pork was slightly disappointing. The small pork madalion was tender & delicious, but the strips were a bit tough. The potatoes had a lovely smoky sauce with them, but it was a bit weird to have salad with the other hot items of the meal, some sort of hot veg seemed more appropriate. The pudding was lovely, although they brought out the wrong option first. It was a lovely kind of bun with a delicious cream filling. We had madeleines, as an extra option, which were just cooked and delicious. They also brought out two dark chocolate truffles, which were devine. The team members were nice and helpful, but there were a few communication problems around the restaurant's accessibility & menu choices. They did carry my scooter back into the restaurant from where it had to be stored during the meal."
"Such a lovely experience. We booked lunch on Saturday which is a 3 course menu. Pork steak is a must try it’s just so tender and flavourful which reminds me of the quality of Iberico pork. Fish with coconut milk is very aromatic although portion is quite small. Staff is so attentive and friendly, ambience is very cozy and relaxed."
"Had a wonderful experience at Margaret's. The service and staff were so polite and attentive. The food was incredibly tasty, we loved every dish we ate! Thank you we will definitely be returning again soon :)"
"We were lucky enough to grab a table here for Sunday lunch, and were absolutely not disappointed! We started out with a couple of excellent cocktails while we enjoyed some delicious warm focaccia and starters, all of which looked and tasted amazing. But the star of the show was the roast dinner. Everything was cooked to perfection, and filling without being too heavy. All washed down with one of the best non-alcoholic red wines that I've tasted. The desserts were also excellent. We went for a sticky toffee pudding and millionaires shortbread, both delicious. The service was also faultless thoughout. Overall we had an excellent experience, and Margaret's is definitely a welcome addition to the Cambridge dining scene!"
"Had a lovely early valentine's lunch here! The service was amazing, the staff super kind The food was phenomenal on the £65 Chef's Menu. Our favourites today included the mushroom soup and pumpkin fritter in the starter, the pork rib eye from the mains and the ginger sponge and Madelaines from the deserts. Thanks for making our early valentine's celebration so great! And thank you for the sweet card!!"
"Had the best Sunday roast I have ever had here on the weekend. The food, service, and atmosphere was above any Michelin Star restaurant I have been to. The drinks options were also amazing and the staff made great recommendations. The fit-out of the restaurant is beautiful and makes you feel like you are in a world class environment. I would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Cambridge."
