Alimentum Restaurant and Bar - Cambridge

Gastronomes of all ages will be enthralled by the dining experience at Alimentum – the latest fine-dining restaurant in Cambridge. Within 12 months of opening, Alimentum had already attracted numerous accolades, including the AA 3 Rosette Award.

Alimentum serves the finest modern French cuisine produced with quality ingredients sourced from ethical suppliers – local wherever possible – all visited by the restaurant owner, John Hudgell. John is passionate about running an ethical and eco-friendly restaurant with a sophisticated feel, and has certainly pulled it off here, effortlessly combining excellent green credentials with a distinctly glamorous atmosphere.

The interior is stylish with sleek black surfaces and dark red seating. There is a well-stocked bar, famed locally for its cocktails, and the atmosphere buzzes, as overhead, jazz mingles with the chatter.

Food is beautifully presented. A selection of freshly baked breads whets the appetite for what is to come. Choose from four hour roast pork belly with homemade black pudding served with pink lady apples, risotto of Scottish girolles or honey roast quail, crispy risotto and poached duck egg. For dessert, poached peaches, peach sorbet, Champagne or Jelly of Cambridge strawberries, Valrhona chocolate – a great choice for kids of all ages!

As the father of a young family, John is keen to encourage family dining, looking to mirror the Continental dining experience where everyone gets together to enjoy good food. As such, John has designated Saturday lunches as ‘Kids go free’ when parents order from the a la carte menu. Children have their own menu or may order smaller portions from the main menu, and John and his team are happy to warm up bottles and food for very young family members.
