Galleria in Cambridge

Great food and great service!

The atmosphere is nice, and it has a romantic terrace on the river, but the music wasnt so. The vegetarian food we had was only OK.

A beautiful and quirky restaurant, with a delicious menu. The staff were welcoming, friendly and professional. Id love to visit again if Im back in Cambridge anytime. Dietary restrictions: Lots of GF options

We visited Galleria for my birthday dinner tonight and it was such an amazing experience. We had lamb and seabass for dinner and loved the food. The staff was very helpful and kind as well. One of our best experiences in Cambridge!

Lovely food, friendly and talkative staff! AND 10% student discount!!

Absolutely incredible evening! Food was fantastic, the staff were welcoming and professional! There are lots of different seating, as well as eating, options available too and dietary requirements can be catered for. Unreal!!

We ate here for the first time on the 11th November. The service was first class, the main course was great, one vegetarian pasta dish and one fish dish and the desserts were delicious. All in all, I would not hesitate to eat here again .

Me and my boyfriend to be since that night- we choose to travel to Cambridge and choose Galleria restaurant to have our first dinner together! The waiter Amir- went above and beyond to find us a table with a perfect view towards the river. Very happy and helpful man! Thank you for making us feel like the best guests of that Saturday evening Food delicious and tasty, clean and very comfortable place! We will come back for our anniversary Anca & Kofi Kid-friendliness: All the waiters were very pleasant and happy to see us there! But our special one Amir- amazing! Thank you for going above and beyond to find us a table and not just a table but the best one

Such a lovely place with beautiful aesthetics and fantastic customer service. The food was amazing! I will most definitely be back again. Thank you for your hospitality

Had lunch here, food was amazing, great service, not crazy prices. Will definitely return next time we are in town. 2 years later, evening meal was just as nice.

Divine food, exceptional customer service. Thank you for being you. Will definitely come back again!

I debated for a while whether or not to write this review, but after reading other reviews - and especially the responses to them it confirmed that my feelings were right. I made a reservation for 15 people the night before our dinner, at 9pm. The owner told me that for such a large group, they couldn t accommodate us without pre-orders, which I understood. I explained that it was already late, and I wouldn t be able to organize pre-orders by the next day, especially since I had invited 15 people and wasn t sure exactly who would attend. I told him that I think I ll choose a different place this time. But the owner agreed to make an exception and said we could select a set menu and pre-order starters. I accepted, thinking I could choose the starters myself. When we arrived at the restaurant, I was shocked to see two separate tables with a walkway in between, placed right by the entrance. This left me completely stunned, and I asked if there was any way to fix the seating arrangement. The owner refused, saying it wasn t possible due to fire safety regulations and that the waitstaff needed access to the service station. While that explanation made sense, his attitude was rude, and he refused to consider any of the ideas we suggested. He simply kept saying no. At first, I thought perhaps he just didn t like me for some reason, so I asked a colleague to speak with him, but once again, we got a firm no. Unfortunately, with such a large group, we couldn t just change restaurants last-minute, so I had to make the best of the situation and explain it to my colleagues. Thanks to their understanding, I managed to calm down a bit, but my evening was already ruined. I felt so upset, and instead of enjoying myself, I was incredibly stressed - with no empathy or support from the owner. To make matters worse, three people from our group were an hour late, meaning we sat for an entire hour with nothing but drinks. I asked if we could at least get the starters, but the owner refused again. I was completely taken aback. We came to the restaurant to eat and relax after a long day, but every request was met with a no. I finally asked him why he kept refusing, and he explained that with such a large group, his kitchen was small and we d have to wait for the main courses. But we had already been waiting for an hour. We had to rush the rest of our group to finish up and join us, because we couldn t get any food until they arrived. Honestly, we ve been to many restaurants in Cambridge, but I ve never experienced anything like this. On the positive side, the waitress who served us was lovely. She seemed to understand what I was going through and did everything she could to help, for which I m extremely grateful. She provided much-needed support. The food was also delicious, and everyone enjoyed it. However, because of the overall atmosphere and the complete lack of understanding or willingness to compromise, I will never return to this restaurant, and I certainly won t recommend it. I frequently work with many restaurants in Cambridge, as I often organize meetings for executives, and I understand that things aren t always perfect from my side. But I ve always received great support and flexibility from other venues. In fact, I ve even become friends with some of them. I m deeply disappointed by the way this situation was handled.

Excellent food, service, location and value for money. nuff said.

Great food, friendly laid back service, grab a table outside by the river if you can. Sit down early as they close early-ish.

Had a lovely meal on Tuesday. My wife has been there a few times before but it was my first time there and would definitely go back. Great food amd service, good info from the waiter who suggested drinks and food to try. 5 stars, many thanks

Very chill atmosphere, I enjoyed my seating very much and the staff were very friendly and helpful, was given blankets as it was cold during our meal

Lovely spot overlooking the canal while waiting for our punting time slot. We only had a coke each, which was pretty expensive but the manager and staff were very friendly. We plan to eat there next time as the food seems reasonably priced.

The food is delicious. Especially, the mussel has a rich cream flavor. The smoked lamp rump goes very well with the sauce. Location is quite good next to the punting places. The staff member Aamir is very humorous and his service is very considerate.

Amazing food and service. I had lamb - perfectly done. The people, the view, and the food make this one place you should visit in Cambridge.

Great food and service, with great views. Thank you Aamir, Mille and Chef Damian BTW I lost my AirPods somewhere,might be left on the table Food

A perfect spot on the top balcony, overlooking the river, on a sunny afternoon! Food was good, service was friendly, and there was a great choice of drinks. We will definitely be back!

Contemptuous welcome

Great place with great atmosphere. Nice views to the river. Service charge was too expensive (10£) but it is not compulsory although added to the bill Food

Very good, fresh salad and good drinks; bright place, well located and efficient staff, I recommend!

Very accommodating as we only wanted drinks on the little balcony. Had aperol overlooking the chaos of non professional punters below, great free entertainment

We are regular diners at the Galleria, and love it. The food is always delicious, the site is lovely, and weve always found the staff to be attentive and polite.

Came here with my mum, and we both loved it. The service was amazing, and sitting on the balcony overlooking the river was lovely! The panna cotta dessert was particularly nice.

One of the worst ever restaurant experiences, from surly unaccommodating staff to sub standard cuisine. Our second visit and positively our last

Wonderful location for a summer evening by the river. Tasty and vibrant Mediterranean menu with cocktails and charming service. Would definitely come back.

This is by far one of the best restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The food is outstanding and the service is exemplary!! Goes without saying that I highly recommend The Galleria and that you book a table and enjoy it for yourselves. Food

Lovely food, excellent staff and a thoroughly great experience. Wheelchair accessibility: Have fold up wheelchair which posed no problem for the staff. Recommended dishes Chocolate Brownie, Sticky Toffee Pudding

Average food, their focattia is basicly cheese on sliced bread toast, could do it myself... menu is lacking

Just had a nice afternoon drink, watching the punts go by, lovely setting and friendly service.

It was all perfect. I ll certainly come back

Great view from the balcony and really attentive staff. I have visited a few tines for food and drinks and the views didnt disappoint as I saw a punter fall in last time most entertaining

Loved our visit to the galleria . Top notch food and service. Loved watching the punting from our balcony table.

A geunuine 5 star experience. Food is simply exquiste, service ( Jess) is impecable and the owner balances profesionalism with friendliness. My Texan pal from Dublin insisted we visit twice in two days. Great wine selection too. Highly recommened for fine cusine at surprisingly reasaonable prices. Graham Martin

Lovely food, excellent service.

The food (sea bass nad mushroom tagliatelle) was delicious! Beautiful little restaurant with a great view!

Great staff, simple but tasty food, nice atmosphere. Overpriced due to the location of the restaurant. Nice place if you want to celebrate something, but dont expect much.

Beautiful views of the river from this restaurant, very nice for dinner on a nice day. Food was good, and service was quick.

One of the best restaurants I have been to in Cambridge. Lovely owner, fantastic service, and excellent food. We were able to sit on the lower terrace where we can admire the river views, and it felt so private! The owner was also able to accommodate our nut allergies, and took our dietary requirements very seriously, which was very refreshing to see. Ive tasted many sticky toffee puddings up and down the UK, Gallerias is the absolute best. We will be back soon!

Amazong! Incredoble food!

The apple juice is very very nice! Lovely view just on top of cam river. The owner is very humerous and nice too!

Friendly staff. Dont forget to book in advance if you want to sit by the gallery.

Absolutely incredible experience at The Galleria! Would definitely recommend to everyone. The food was fantastic, definitely the most delicious food in Cambridge, and an incredible price considering the quality and portions. I had the lamb stew and I got loads of lamb on my plate, plus it tender and amazing quality meat. Very beautiful atmosphere, perfect for family, friends, business meals, very beautiful to sit along the river. They also give you blankets if you are cold, which is so kind. The servers were fantastic, service was excellent, and the staff are all so kind, chatty and friendly. The drinks were amazing, again I thought the price was perfect! My partner and I will absolutely be back again and again, this is one of the places I will be recommending to everyone! Thank you so much for an incredible experience, this restaurant is fantastic. If you are thinking of going, please do you will not regret it!!

What a wonderful evening! From walking through the door, my partner and I were welcomed like family. Very friendly staff, and a wonderful atmosphere. The balcony views are particularly appealing, with my partner being offered a cosy blanket to sit out in the cool evening breeze. My partner and I have long been looking for a romantic place to enjoy good food, and we have now found it. The food is excellent, offering a fine dining experience with incredible cocktails. The price was also amazing, especially considering just how good the food was. Thank you T and Jess for an incredible evening, we will be back!

We had an aperitif with two spritzes £10 each and some mussels. Very good. Nice place with terrace.

Friendly family run restaurant on the river. Great food and service and entertainment watching the early evening self punters

Took my mum here for her 50th birthday - the food was great, the service was first class and the people were kind, friendly and funny.

My son took me there for my birthday, as he d eaten there before he told me how divine it would be but it surpassed my expectations !! it was absolutely exquisite !! it s a kookily shaped little venue with outside seating too-(we ll be back in the summer to try that out!!)-lovely chilled atmosphere, the food was incredible and the owner a top fella thank you for a wonderful evening !!

What a super restaurant! Nice staff, helpful, kind, knowledgeable. Extraordinary tasteful dishes, without being over the top. One of my three favorite restaurants.

Lovely meal tonight. Great wine, smashing food and lovely friendly service from (I think) the owner. Thoroughly recommend!

Great view, great food and lovely ambience. Our family has a great time here!

Terrible food

Food was amazing! They had gluten free and vegetarian options. We got a table on the balcony looking over the canal and it was just gorgeous Staff were so so lovely Mocktail was the best I d ever had Food : 5/5 |

The food was such high quality. Mushroom linguine was amazing so creamy. Service was very good too.

Best morrocan grill chicken & bread pudding With nice river view Food

Came on a Friday evening, the food was lovely, the service was amazing and very friendly, and we were seated on the balcony so the atmosphere was great.

Visited for mothers day with my disabled mother and my dad. The staff could not have been any more welcoming and helpful and friendly.. Making us instantly feel valued as a customer, something that is sadly lacking in a lot of Cambridge eateries these days.. Food choices meant there was something for everyone. I have coeliac disease and the staff were considerate and helpful.. All the staff were busy keeping the place looking inviting and guests serviced, with tables cleared and reset promptly. Dietary restrictions: Good choice of Gluten Free main courses, it would have been nice to see a Gluten Free dessert option that wasnt ice cream.. Staff were very attentive and understanding.

I have been a regular guest of Galleria, and every visit surpasses my expectations. Although my favorite dish, the duck breast, is no longer on the menu, the replacement, duck confit, is also equally delightful. The fresh mussels served with a creamy soup base are a heavenly treat for the taste buds. The ambiance is lovely, especially when dining outside with a view of the river; if youre lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the swan family passing by. The owners warmth and hospitality add to the overall delightful experience, making it the perfect spot for a romantic date night. A place that I would highly recommend to anyone :)

The manager was sooooooo nice!!!! Try to make me happy!!! Good is super super delicious!!! Environment is decent! Definitely worth a try

Walked in, even with no reservation, 8-10 tables open, not busy and turned away. Don t waste your time.

Went for supper with friends, one of whose birthday it was. OK, it was early Sunday evening, when Storm Isha was blowing up, so it wasnt exactly heaving. But it did mean we got the best table in the house, overlooking The River Cam. Food was lovely. It was quite rich, so although the portions were small, they were beautifully presented, and quite filling (we didnt have room for pud). The young woman who served us, Milly (short for Millicent) was lovely and helpful. Picking up that it was Ds birthday, she brought an ice cream delight at the end of our meal, complete with candle, on the house. Altogether a really great experience.

A nice place for a perfect dinner.

Lovely diner, thanks to Aamir for offering us pleasant service!

Amazing food, wonderful service!

Fantastic food and a wonderful service. The staff are kind and attentive. I highly recommend giving this place a go. The duck is to die for!!

Excellent food a great find amongst the usual fare. Staff were great.

Galleria were extremely accommodating for a large group booking. They were so helpful in the lead up and on the night, as well as the service being amazing and friendly. The team at Galleria are wonderful, food is great and atmosphere is lovely. Would 100% recommend! Thank you again

The owner and the employee are very friendly, the food is superb, for the starter I had onion soup, the main I have lamb stew with mashed potatoes and also dessert is a pear and raspberry sorbet. The overall atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant is very good and is perfect for dining with someone you loved. Or just like me eating and enjoyed the vibe alone. But I highly recommend it to give it a try.

Unless you are just two people who can book river view tables(they dont have bigger size tables for river view), generally OK, but for what you pay, I didnt feel it was amazing. The staff at that time we were there not attentive. We were almost only customers, but they kept chatting with each other at the bar. We shared a few starters, which were good, but my main - seafood pasta wasnt served hot. I think it may have left for a while for the other dishes to be cooked. It tasted good, though, and plating was nice.

We had our wedding reception at the Galleria in September, and we were blown away by how wonderful all the staff were at making our big day so special. From setting up the restaurant to accommodating all of our guest, the presentation of the welcome drinks on arrival, the quality of the drink and food and all around atmosphere was superb. We had a number of compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was (we were blessed with the weather and were able to sit out and enjoy the stunning views from both terraces), as well as the high standard of food and drink on offer. We cant thank Aamir and team enough for all they did before, during and after our reception - we cant recommend highly enough. We will be back soon :-)

Very friendly manager and staff, made us feel very special, situated next to river, lovely view and fabulous food

Had dinner with 8 colleagues from work and the experience was fantastic! Food presentation was perfect and it tasted even better. Friendly and attentive staff who communicated well & got all the pre-orders correct. Highly recommend!

Lovely restaurant, great food and went above and beyond!

Lovely view, good food, fantastic service. We went for an anniversary celebration it was a special day in a lovely location.

Excellent experience fantastic food and friendly personal service

Great location right on the river Cam. Very prompt and friendly and accommodating service. Good red wine and great food. Everything sourced locally where possible and made on site. The Moroccoan chicken salad was great, and so was the lamb. Good coffee afterwards. Friendly chat with the owner or manager. Ill be back next time Im in Cambridge. Sitting next to the river on the enclosed balcony is a bonus.

Food was absolutely delicious and stunning presentation

Great dinner with riverside view. Our waiter, Aamir, was also very courteous and provided excellent service. Would recommend and go again.

Aamir and the team at the Galleria were fantastic yesterday evening. Accommodating me and my guests from overseas at short notice, no mean feat as we were a table of 10. The food was amazing and the service excellent. Everyone had a great evening and it really added to my guests first visit to Cambridge. I urge people to support their local independent businesses, they are the lifeblood of our beautiful city. Local produce, fresh and perfectly prepared. Thanks Aamir, really appreciate your first class hospitality.

We came here yesterday for lunch. The food was excellent. We got the veg pastry baskets with tomatoes and peppers for starters and the rump steak for mains. They were both great. The hospitality was very nice. We talked to the owner after finishing our food for a while. He was a very warm and pleasant person. We also got birthday ice cream on the house. I definitely recommend people to come here.

Excellent meal, welcome and exemplary service, congratulations

Thank you for a really delicious lunch today. The service was fantastic and we sat overlooking the water . The food was beautifully presented and great menu to choose from . Great place !

Lovely restaurant. Spent a weekend in Cambridge, this meal was the highlight. Food was delicious, staff were very professional and attentive. Location was superb, highly recommended, Will Definitely return.

The food is amazing, definitely worth to revisit! The chef presented the food in a very artistic way love sitting near the river to enjoy my lunch with the ducks:) But unlucky they don t have tiramisu at the moment :(

Having visited with a date who has dietary requirements, the staff were very accommodating and supportive of picking items from the menu that were safe for her to eat The atmosphere, the value and the location itself were all fantastic, I d definitely recommend it

6 of us had lunch there yesterday. They serve great foods. The service is outstanding. Its our top choice when we are in Cambridge.

Incredibly accommodating, wonderful staff and delicious food. We were treated like VIPs. The best restaurant in Cambridge.

Lovely food, fabulous location. Kind and caring staff. First time here, but definitely not the last.

Amazing! Food was so nice and presented very well! Wasnt expensive and great tables right by the water.

Fantastic service from start to finish. Booked a large group in and T was so helpful throughout. The evening meal was very attentive, food choices laid out in case anyone had forgotten (very organised)! Food all came out at the same time so no one was waiting. Everyone enjoyed and would come again.

Monkfish was amazing. Likewise the panna cotta

Waaw what a lovely and romantic place to enjoy a meal with your loved ones. It sits right on the river cam and offers a great view of Cambridge colleges as well as the river. Its a family restaurant run by friendly staff and owners. They have a good range of food options as well as dessert . We tried their fish and chicken which was undoubtedly delicious . I would definitely recommend going there if you are in Cambridge. Best place for a meal and view outside.

Fabulous food - sooooo tasty! And great friendly service can t wait to go back there

It was a lovely place to dine for me and my husbands 2 year anniversary. We ate by the riverside with a beautiful view! Our waiter Aamir was bloody awesome, very attentive and friendly :) Vegetarian options: Variation of options, they were each very yummy and looked super fancy

Food first class as was service made us feel very welcoming many thanks.

Thank you for a great food and service. We will be back!!!

Good restaurant, the food is very good, the meal in the sun on the terrace is good. Fast and welcoming service

We walked in without reservations. Waiter was very helpful they gave us a table. Serve us very quickly. Food was amazing and service was 5star. If you visiting beautiful Cambridge try to visit this restaurant. Vegetarian options: Pasta was amazing Kid-friendliness: Kids will love to sit in balconies Wheelchair accessibility: Easy for disabled people. Staff are helpful

Lovely restaurant. We had a nice little table overlooking the water. The service was outstanding, along with delicious food.

April 2022: The Galleria is a gorgeous restaurant! The food is impeccable - compliments to the chef/kitchen staff & the location is perfect! Riverside views are what makes a special meal out, even more perfect! Overall, the experience was fantastic however, one staff member (i think he was a waiter) made you feel very rushed and simply started off with Just a reminder, we close at 15:00 so shall we do your orders now although it was 13:45 ? We had alcoholic drinks, starters and mains and were out of there by 14:30 (no need to rush at all) but hats off to the food coming out extremely quickly, so that was great! Overall, wonderful experience, I just think the staff (this one in particular) needs to do a better job at making people feel welcome, rather than making them feel like they need to rush their food. I would recommend and will definitely return in the future! April 2023: I visited for a third time to Galleria Restaurent and couldn t recommend it highly enough! It was much better compared to my first experience and the food was, as always, superb!

Had a lovely lunch by the river at Galleria today. Excellent service and lovely food. Best baked cheesecake I ve had for a while. Delicious.

We really enjoyed our evening here and liked sitting outside for the atmosphere. The food was nice, however, the portions were quite small for the price. The waiters were really friendly though and service was good.

Ive been here a few times now and Ive never been disappointed. The service is always excellent and the food is delicious. If you get to sit outside, youll get a gorgeous view as well. If youre in Cambridge for a short time and would like a nice (semi-upscale) meal, definitely consider Galleria!

Poor!! . Rude arrogant staff. Forgot to put our order in, then forgot our order, so waited and waited . Inconsiderate. Obsessed with the fire drill. No atmosphere. No fun. Dreadful. Not child friendly, in fact not friendly at all. Avoid people at all cost ! Food

Lovely location for a quality meal. Service efficient and friendly too. Booking advised.

Perfect graduation celebration dinner. Attentive friendly staff. Varied menu. Delicious food and drink. Good value. Fantastic table on/in the balcony at the side of the Cam watching the punts, kayaks, swans and ducks go by.

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate his birthday and the staff were wonderful! They sat us on the balcony overlooking the river and had a birthday surprise on his pudding! The food was delicious and the service was excellent !!

2022: Phenomenal service and food. 11/10 2023: Still an amazing place. Had shivers when ate the duck. Ive been to many Michelin star restaurants but food here beats them all! Food : 5/5

Came for lunch. Both the main (beetroot & halloumi salad) and dessert (panna cotta) were excellent. Reasonably priced and really friendly service. We sat right next to the river and the whole experience was great.

Came here for the first time recently with my partner on our date night. We had been wanting to check out this place for a while as the tables right along the river looked quite alluring. Overall I would give the place 4 stars for food and 5 for ambiance, and 4.5 stars all around. We had the seafood pappardelle and porcini tagliatelle both were pretty good, definitely enough to satisfy us, but not 5 star good. However, the sticky toffee pudding was incredible and definitely left us feeling grateful we had come. The manager and waiter were also great hosts, and we were thankful they repeatedly told other guests they couldn t smoke on the balcony (they definitely tried). Overall we were pleased and I would recommend trying this place out! The ambiance along the water was some of the best we ve experienced in Cambridge (with prices one would expect for such ambiance).

Went for a family meal. Food in general really good, slight issue with some over done lamb but otherwise all tasty

Went yesterday with other couple just for a coffee ,welcome by one guy wanted to sit outside by the river, the guy said we don t serve coffee , we then said that s ok we have a juice something (we don t drink alcohol) then the guy said , o no no we only serve gin and tonic very disappointing, I travel a lot to other countries never had this!!!

Oh my gosh what a gem of a place, lived in Cambridge all my life and missed out!! Food was superb, staff was superb and great ambiance, people watching punters onThe Cam. Will definitely making a return visit

What a disappointment! Staff were fine, sitting on the balcony overlooking the river was beautiful but the food was soooo disappointing. Small portions for the price and lacking flavour. The vegetarian pastry baskets were stale; we would expect a freshly made pastry basket. The beetroot & mango salad was under seasoned and very small. The chicken supreme & rice was tasteless; there was no chilli hit at all. The cauliflower steak had no colour and resembled almost raw cauliflower with Heinz barbecue ketchup on top. The mains beetroot & halloumi salad was OK, if under-seasoned and a little flat. You defo need to check in with your chef. We don t mind paying for good quality food - but we can t recommend this restaurant at all.

Great service, highly recommended!

The service was top notch- easily the best service we ve received in Cambridge. The food was excellent, we really recommend the mussels appetizer and sticky toffee pudding. My husband says it s the best sticky toffee he has ever had

I took my daughter here as a well done on her A Levels, so the bar was set high and I was very pleased. The service was excellent, as was the food. I imagine the balcony would have been great on a hot evening, but the inside was just as comfortable. Vegetarian options: Very good veggie options.

Nice view by the river! Good food as well

Lovely place - Awesome food and drink and the nicest staff, Sitting on the terrace by the river feels very comfortable.

Some of the best food served in Cambridge!

A lovely space to dine on! Had the confit duck and it was great. Would return for their beautiful terrace just by the water (which I recommend to book in advance). Aamir was warm and made good recommendations.

We had the most incredible wedding lunch at Galleria with Aamir and the team. The setting was perfect, amazing food through all courses and outstanding service! All the personal touches were super appreciated and we would highly recommend- will be returning very soon! Thanks all

A lovely place. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food was amazing, and the portions were very generous. I was genuinely sad to finish my meal! I would recommend this restaurant without any hesitation, and I will definitely be going back.

Great way to celebrate a birthday with friends

Although I didn t have any food because I was just wanting to fill up my water bottle after a run, this restaurant looks fantastic! The staff were really nice and friendly as well (and they filled up my water bottle). I think I will come here to eat some time soon.

I booked a table for lunch yesterday as a surprise for my husband on his 65th Birthday. Aamir and his team were excellent hosts. They had reserved a table for us in the covered balcony so we were eating right over the river. It was great. The menu isnt extensive but we prefer that and it didnt disappoint. We had three courses of the most delicious and fresh food which was well presented. A nice touch....my husbands dessert came with a lighted birthday candle and a gold Happy Birthday on top of it. The background music was just right. Not like some eateries where you cant hear yourself speak. We would thoroughly recommend the Galleria. You will not be dissapointed. Thank you Aamir and his team Liz and Kevin Millard Dietary restrictions: The menu clearly indicates gluten free options and dairy free options.

My partner and I got married in Cambridge and decided to have a late lunch / early dinner with our family and friends and the Galleria Restaurant in Cambridge. The restaurant had sentimental value to us as when we were studying at Cambridge, we used to visit the restaurant for their steak sandwiches (sadly no longer on the menu, but we hope they will be back one day!). It was our dream to host a wedding dinner at Galleria and Aamir and his team were incredibly cooperative. We worked together to choose a menu and drinks and agreed an exclusivity deal on the restaurant so that we could have the space to ourselves, which made it extra special! Luckily the weather was beautiful so we started off with some drinks outside as people mingled and then we made our way inside for a wonderful three course dinner. Everything was delicious and Aamir and his team took extra care of the elderly, children and those with any special dietary requirements. In addition to the incredible food, all of it was served beautifully! His team even made a special portion of bread without nuts for our young cousin and a halal version of the lamb for our families. We were quite specific with our timings as we had to get back to London the same evening (it was a Sunday!) and the team were very punctual and made sure we had a quick service, but also allowed time for speeches too! We would recommend Galleria to anyone wanting to have a gourmet, but reasonably priced lunch/dinner in Cambridge and especially to those looking for somewhere to host an event - you will not be disappointed! We hope to be back soon, even if just for a quick drink on the terrace; the views of the River Cam and ambience cannot be beaten!

The food and service here is top drawer.

Amazing food and atmosphere, staff were so attentive and professional, highly recommended.

We came across this restaurant by chance when wandering around Cambridge. It really didnt disappoint! The food was exceptional, service excellent and the wine list impressive. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and will definitely go back

Perfect restaurant for my birthday! I have visited this restaurant several times, and I always love their foods, service, and atmosphere. So I decided to go here for my birthday and they gave my dessert with this lovely birthday decorations!!! All people there were so nice, kind and friendly. I was very touched and it made my bday. Also, foods were awesome, and it was great to enjoy peaceful atmosphere, as this restaurant is right next to cam-river. I highly recommend this place and I deifinitely will go here again!

Warm friendly and very attentive staff. Delicious food. Absolutely gorgeous setting. Would highly recommend

Been three times now and every time has been a delight! Id go here over a chain like Côte any day. Prices are very fair, quality of food is excellent, atmosphere is lovely either if youre inside or on the balcony (which during the winter has temporary glass installed so its not too cold to sit!). Service perfect, no long wait for food. Staff were also helpful with a family member using a wheelchair and not speaking English, which is SO appreciated and you sadly dont get in some places. Highly recommend the mussels, duck, and chocolate fondant with to-die-for sorbet, but everything Ive had or my fellow guests Ive had has been lovely!

Couldn t recommend more, amazing food, staff and river views would give 6 stars if I could

Was lovely, food was so beautiful and tasty and the service was very good. Thanks to T for the cocktails !

A wonderful location and enclosed seating down on the water! The food was delicious and the staff were most courteous! Highly recommended to settle in for a nice dinner.

Service was amazing, food was beautiful, cocktails and drinks lovely and I would highly recommend this to any visitors of Cambridge! Vegetarian options: Absolutely amazing mushroom tagliatelle dish. It was to die for.

Excellent experience, delicious food, reasonable prices, lovely place by the river. We tried the duck, a couple of chicken options and pasta. Dessert is not to be missed - sticky toffee pudding

I m a little late writing this review as we actually visited just before Christmas 2021. We had a fabulous evening at the Galleria with work colleagues that we had not seen for a very long time/never met. The food was absolutely delicious, they made us lovely cocktails and the service was brilliant. There were 14 of us in total and Aamir and his team did a really great job looking after us all. Will definitely be going back in the summer when I can sit downstairs by the river

Superb location, tasty food and reasonable prices. Staff very pleasant and it was a most enjoyable evening. I would definitely return on a future visit

The food was fantastic! And nice service! Really like the environment. The price is good as well. I will definitely come to try other stuff on the menu.

Pretty spot overlooking the river with good gluten free selection

Exquisite and very well prepared dishes! Great service! Views over the river! I recommend visiting.

What a incredible restaurant filled with incredible staff. Kind friendly and just made our evening so special. Sat on the balcony and was looked after all night. The food was out of this world and, the prices in my view are cheap for how amazing the food and service is. I am gutted I live so far away that I cant be a regular here. Thanks Galleria :)

The best view and delicious food! Mr Aamir from the team was delightful and took good care of us.

A wonderful restuarant with a wide range of food. I have been a few times and never disappoints.

Loving the experience and food at this restaurant. The staff Aamir was very friendly. Definitely recommending this place for everyone.

Lovely and helpful people work here. Had a fun night!

Made our wedding anniversary dinner extra special with lovely personal touches on the dessert and attentive and efficient service. We had a great candlelit view of the river and lovely food.

Thank you so much for an absolutely lovely visit. Beautiful location, restaurant and food, also thank you to our waiter (sorry we didnt catch his name) who gave exceptional service, he even waved to us a few hours later from the restaurant balcony whilst we were punting! Will definitely visit again.

Wonderful food, service, and ambience. Served by Aamir (putting his name down because he asked for it and he s worth it )

Read the bad reviews (always do this first), so was a bit wary, but the staff were great and looked after us nicely which is half the battle.

Visited after a punting tour. We had our baby with us and the server was wonderfully accommodating. We ordered the lamb and the honey chicken; both were delicious. We wanted a good gin cocktail and the server recommended the English Garden, was like a refreshing gin mojito. Love this place and will return!

Staff was very friendly, loved the blankets they offered when sitting outside. A lovely view of the river with a delicious meal.

My favourite restaurant in Cambridge. Excellent food, with good vegetarian and vegan options, great service as usual

After a late afternoon Punting Tour on the river Cam, Galleria Restaurant was a convenient place for dinner. We sat by the window with a view to the river and enjoyed the mixed fortunes of other punters as they passed by. The menu was not extensive, but we both had some good dishes. The staff was more than friendly and helpful, so we self satisfied.

Great meal in a lovely atmosphere. In light of recent events, we wondered if you wanted to change the name of your Moscow Mule to Kyiv Kicker, with the vodka sourced from Ukraine or Poland? If so, I ll order it next time!

Great food, location and staff! Highly recommended!

Great food. It has some pasta dishes but it is not a pasta place. Saying that the tagliatelle was good and so was the fish. The service was very good. And we had a seat by the river so it is good fun to see the people punting and enjoying the time in the river Cam.

The food was delicious and the staff great! Definitely I will come back!

The restaurant has a balcony right on the river, so you can enjoy the view if you get a table there. The food was really tasty but the portions were quite small so i suggest you have a starter and/or dessert as well!

The atmosphere was fine, and the food was all right, however upon arriving home my husband has been puking for three hours from food poisoning.

Brilliant food and fantastic service. Loved the lamb cutlets and chicken.

The foods halal, presentation spectacular and its delicious!

Expensive and not quite worth it.

Wonderful food and excellent service! Perfect lunch on a sunny day!

Mussel starter very creamy and tasty. Marinated monkfish unusual and very nice if a little on the sweet side. The pannacota with fresh fruit was delightful

My husband brought me here. It was quiet, and the service was amazing. They were very attentive, with many recommendations. They were cognizant of allergens in the dishes and the server was extremely knowledgeable on all parts of the menu. Everything from the app to the coffee after dessert was perfect.

Massively overrated. Expensive, rude staff and overcooked/not very tasty food. Wouldnt recommend.

Recommended by my wifes friend. Super food and super friendly staff. Nice to find this by the Riverside. Will be back soon.

This is by far my favourite restaurant in Cambridge, it isnt a chain, the food is outstanding, the staff are always welcoming and efficient (it is also amazing that we recognise staff after years of dining here), the prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food and the location (especially when sat outside on a balcony over the river watching the punts) is fantastic. I genuinely cant recommend Galleria enough and will be coming here for as long as it is in Cambridge.

We went as a couple, we sat on the balcony below, overlooking the river. The food was delicious and the waitress was lovely. We really liked it and it is a place not to be missed in Cambridge.

Food 1 star, location 4 stars Staff rude as hell other than the older gentleman Overall 2 stars Id miss it next time Edit: 1 star, honestly the after taste an hour later was disgusting.

Had been told about this restaurant & it did not disappoint, lovely food & service, ideally placed to watch all the punts go by Vegetarian options: Good choice of vegetarian if desired Dietary restrictions: Everything clearly labelled

Lovely meal, food cooked to perfection, duck was the best I have had in a long while, definitely a place worth visiting.

A wonderful dinner with fantastic service. Well worth booking well in advance!

Very highly recommend to sit at balcony very nice view with good foods Next time comeback again Kid-friendliness: I always visit this restaurant due to nice meal & beautiful view 6 times every time I visit Cambridge never forget the feeling during dinning @ this place

Beautiful location and a lovely menu. Sat outside on a slightly cooker day but staff were diligent enough to offer blankets. The cocktails were lovely too. Made visiting Cambridge a little more special

Visited Cambridge on Wednesday and phoned at least 10 times to ask if my small dog would be allowed on balcony while we ate a meal , no one answered the phone , clearly could not care . Very poor customer care !!!

Excellent restaurant location to visit after punting along the Cam river. Service was alright, it was fast and smooth. The food was excellent, with innovative flavours that compliment the ingredients very well. I highly recommend the monkfish main.

Tasty food, although would have liked a little more on the plate. Good service.

Fantastic food and service. Thought it was too cold to sit in the gallery, but was really pleased when we were asked if we would like to sit in the downstairs gallery, which is enclosed from the elements but still has a great view of the river and the punts passing by. Love this restaurant and the staff, will certainly be back.

Happened to be at Cambridge for a day and we were recommended this restaurant by one of our friend studying there. Very delightful experience! We sat out at the veranda seats with beautiful view. Excellent customer service and attitude. The server will checked om us from time to time and asked if we need anything. Its such a quaint little place. Love it!

Very underwhelmed. Trades on the location. The food was ok. Starters tasty enough but lots of mussels were cracked and broken, no side plate offered for mussel shells or dipping bowl for finger washing. Main courses came with little in the way of vegetables. Rack of lamb was overdone, chef hadn t cut the cutlets, very little eating in the meat. Asked for mint sauce was told chef refused to make it or serve it. Chose not to have desserts, husband jokingly asked for a chocolate with the bill. They couldn t offer this or a mint. Not what you d expect for somewhere at this price point. Glassware and cutlery very basic. Place was rather cold too

Nice restaurant but seems to market itself as a lot fancier than it is. Wine was great, and food was delicious although the menu was a little limited. Odd atmosphere - we were the only table left for what felt like an hour, and we left well before 10pm on a Saturday night! Toilets were more akin to a cheap curry house than a nice bistro. Fairly cheap, though. Vegetarian options: Separate vegetarian section of the menu. Parking: There is no parking.

Solid wine and cocktail selection joined up with a decent menu served with warmth by friendly staff. The winter warmer cocktail was very enjoyable!

Lovely and cosy place, friendly staff and excellent food :)
