Here we are in Jamie's Italian Restaurant in Cambridge. Time for a nice break in our day
You will note that a nice Cambridge building adds to the ambience
Reflection seen through one of the many wall mirrors
Not to mention the ceiling
You can watch your meal being prepared
We both chose
Free Range Oven Roasted Baby Poussin
on a bed of
Braised Castelluccio Lentils
all served in it's own juices
The chips we ordered as a side dish were the best I think I have tasted.Not only were they crunchy but they were
cooked with Garlic, Parmesan and Parsley
We had one of those friendly waiters who offered to take our photo - why not!
When eating lunch out we pass on dessert, preferring to save some room for afternoon tea
but the Peppermint tea was very welcome
Shall we take some freshly made bread and pasta home with us?
Not a good idea as we are a bus ride from the car park
Park and Ride is the only way to take your car to Cambridge
I liked the flavour of the ladies room too
Jamie is opening an Italian Restaurant in my daughter's city too so we will definitely be going again
Lots to post on Cambridge so do some back
Ooh, what a delight !

ReplyDeleteHello Barbara
ReplyDeleteLove the ceiling and the food looks great! Like the picture of you and your husband--very sweet. :)

I'm so glad Jamie Oliver's restaurnat was a successful visit for you. I know that sometimes one can go to restaurants owned by well-known chefs and turn out to be a disappointment. Good service, great ambience, beautiful food. You can't ask for more than that along with good taste, of course.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara! Thanks for more great posts. Just call me "sold" on Jamie's fish and chips!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing restaurant! I would've been taking so many photos too.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures and great restaurant, hungry, now I have wanted to eat. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, it was a treat to see you and Alan together at the table....and my oh my, those chips DO look fantastic! What a wonderful building to hold Jamie Oliver's restaurant too.
ReplyDeleteThat restaurant is lovely. Those proper chips look fabulous. None of those skinny French Fry things. Bet it was worth it just for them.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara, I miss those visits from 1987 - 1990 and all those visits in your home, including the outings, but especially your great cooking and hospitality. It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since feeling at home with you and Alan during 7 visits over those 4 years. Brian
