Home to the world-famous university for 900 years, it combines timeless elegance with a modern, vibrant student community. Small enough that you can walk across it in a matter of minutes, but big enough to provide plenty of activity for everybody, it's a place you won't get bored in quickly. This sheet is merely a rough guide to what there is to see and do in Cambridge in the evening. It is neither definitive nor exhaustive, and none of these establishments have paid to be listed here.
This is merely a sample of the many restaurants in Cambridge - walk around Market Square, to the north of town around Magdalene Street, down Regent Street around Parker's Piece, around the Grafton Centre, and you will find many restaurants and pubs that serve food.

After a night out your options for food are rather limited. The Gardenia, or Gardies as it is known is a famous takeaway shop on 2 Rose Crescent that is a real institution. There are two kebab and burger vans on opposite ends of Market Square, as well as City Kebab at 73 Regent Street.
Although the shops, museums, and galleries close their doors early, there are still plenty of things to do in Cambridge.
