The Oak Bistro

We had a delightful lunch experience here. We were on a hunt for a great Beef Wellington and photos from this place got us on the hook. The Wellington itself was the highlight of our visit - it exceeded our expectations! We had a few starters and a swordfish as another main - they were good but probably not perfect, at least not on the same level as the Beef. The desserts were excellent! I also want to highlight the impeccable service we received here - it was probably the most friendly and welcoming service we had in quite a while! I would recommend this place and would come again but I wish they add a bit more finesse to other dishes as well for this place to step up and offer even better experience!

Solid 4.6 Modicum rare scallops. Fresh and juicy (no fishiness). A little salty but go well with the pee puree, which is mellow and sweet. As a mushy pea lover, it’s a big factor in my decision to take scallop instead of prawn. Gnocchi surprisingly comes without sauce (or cheese), less fat I hope. Truffle is on the subtle side. Tomato is tangy and appetizing, interesting combination. Mushrooms are juicy but not slimy. Decided to try the poached pear even if it means I’ll need a takeaway and will still have sugar rush when I try to finish my dissertation. Coconut icecream is really refreshing, light, not too sweet. The pear is delightfully confusing— pear shape, orange color, peach texture, saffron aroma. I should have come earlier in the past four years. But until now it has been quite difficult to book :) Glad I came. Hope my parents can enjoy the food and lovely wine list here someday. Friendly and welcoming people actually. Looking forward to try the other starters and mains.

What a lovely place! The host is very charming and funny and made us instantly feel welcome, just like in a French countryside bistro. The interior is very tastefully decorated (I loved the painting on the wall above our table!). I ordered the Chargrilled Rib-Eye Steak with truffle butter and French Fries, with wilted spinach as a side, which was all cooked to perfection. The Chocolate Fondant with Stracciatella ice cream for dessert (I know I shouldn't have, but simply couldn't resist - though no regrets whatsoever!) was absolutely to die for. The main reason I had chosen this bistro was its proximity to the Catholic Church, as we had tickets to a concert, and I'm surely glad we did, as it turned out to be a fantastic choice!

Nice lunch spot with exceptional service from Phillip. The lunch specials were excellent. All was tasty and fresh. The sardine pate was special. Great wine and beverage list. You will not be disappointed.

A wonderful classic bistro in the heart of Cambridge, we had a superb meal here with attentive warm service and delicious food. Portion sizes were very generous and we all left feeling very well fed. The scallops, the steak, the lamb and the creme brulee were the favourites of the table. The house red was a superb Bordeaux. We felt that for the quality of food and portion sizes it was very good value; I look forward to hopefully visiting again next time I'm in Cambridge!
