The restaurant is reasonably priced compared to many other fine dining spots.
A Cambridge restaurant has been named one of the best French bistros in the UK. The Good Food Guide has revealed 16 of its favourite French bistros around the UK including Fancett’s in Cambridge.
Fancett’s has been described by the prestigious guide as a “excellent-value bistro on Cambridge’s lively Mill Road”. The independent French-influenced restaurant has also been mentioned in the Michelin Guide, so is highly recommended.
The menu at Fancett’s changes regularly depending on the season and availability of produce. The restaurant sources its produce for its meals from “small farms and sustainably caught fish from small boats” to ensure good quality.
The lunchtime menu has two options to pick from in terms of starters and mains with three dessert choices. The dinner menu is slightly bigger and includes dishes such as soups, steak tartare, and shrimp cocktail to start alongside monkfish and a cheddar soufflé for the main course.
Compared to many fine dining spots, the restaurant offers two and three course meals at a more affordable price for those wanting to treat themselves. The dinner menu costs £48 for two courses and £62 for three courses.
The lunch menu costs slightly less at £32 for two course and £38 for three courses. If you are looking for somewhere to go for a special occasion, Fancett’s could be a good option.
On the restaurant, the Good Food Guide said: “‘The equivalent of being wrapped in a big hug,’ writes an ardent fan, adding that ‘we always walk in feeling happy, and come out feeling even happier!’
“This warm-hearted spot has been flying the flag for ‘delicious feel-good’ bistro food since Dan Fancett opened the place in 2021, and it scores in departments: the menu is stuffed with extremely well-balanced and superbly executed dishes, while the superb front of house team exude good cheer and do a consistently great job.”
Fancett’s can be found at 96A Mill Road. The restaurant is open for lunch from 12pm to 4pm and from 6pm to 11pm for dinner sittings from Wednesdays through to Saturdays and only for dinner on Tuesdays.
