Description: The Galleria restaurant in Cambridge has the most brilliant location at the foot of Magdalene Bridge beside the River Cam, just in one of the deepest parts where the punters come unstuck. With a pair of terraces beside the river, diners have a ringside seat not only for the punting circus, but also for the pleasure of one of England���s loveliest views. This three-level continental restaurant is light and airy, romantic and pleasant, with wrought-iron balconies, ferns, French prints, bistro-style seating. Signature dish is poached fillets of monkfish in lemongrass with sweet red chilli cream sauce and tiger prawns with leeks and mushrooms served with rice. The very reasonable wines tend to favour Old World vineyards.

Lovely tasty food. Overlooking the river. Very efficient waitress. Was quite noisy on the night we went as there was a largish party in the main room and nearly didn't stay but waitress took us to a lower room which was fine.

Was suppose to be going to a restaurant down the road,but they took so long to serve us, only to tell us there was an hour wait for food, that we decided to give this restaurant a try. A lovely restaurant in a perfect location, shame it was cold and wet otherwise we could have sat on a balcony over... More

An all round good evening with good food and wine. Iam unable to remeber what we ate but it was well prepared and thoughtfully presented. Being mid May it was too cold to sit oputside but the table had an a good view of the river. Definitely worth another visit.

We were rather late to get a table outside, but found the inside sufficiently airy and pleasant (glass, light wood and chrome making it seem spacious), and we had our coffees outside at the front to complete our dining experience. As vegetarians (my partner loving fish) we adored the food - superb quality and lots of different tastes in each... More

We live in Cambridge and often eat here, we have never had a bad meal - even when in a group of 20 the food and service was excellent. The arabic chicken salad and the monkfish are our favourite main courses, but all the food is... More

I live in Cambridge and have eaten at the Galleria for over 12 years. I can honestly say that i have never had a bad experience there at all. I enjoy good food, wine and sometimes just a relaxing cup of coffee during the day to pick me up. I have eaten by myself, with my wife and even with... More

just the perfect place for lunch, overlooking the river and close to the city centre. very friendly and attentive staff and a nicely eclectic menu (sweet potato, coconut and cumin soup), with large portions and a nice attention to detail. very enjoyable and I'd definitley return
