ghoti_mhic_uaitNo longer will Loch Fyne and Restaurant 22 vie for my favours and the top spot, the winner is:
Cafe Sorgenfri.
With comfy chairs,
delightful atmosphere and interesting decorations
(that's a stuffed wolf in a mob cap behind the bird cage with the beer in)
and delightfully pleasant and helpful waiting staff, this is a place which feels comfortable.
But the best thing about it; the menu. My main course (Salmon med sesongens grønnsaker, sjøkreps-kremost, blåskjell- og sitrongress skum og amandinpoteter) was a little fussy (the crayfish cream cheese (sjøkreps-kremost) was just too rich and sent it overboard), but Colin's (Pork med soppstuing, bacon, sukkererter og potet- og rotfruktsrösti) was excellent, a really united dark flavour; and either my starter (chicken galantine with lemon-dressed fennel and croutons) or my dessert (milk chocolate creme brulee) were enough to justify the entire trip, in my mind at least. Of course, next time I'll be able to understand the menu, rather than just ordering the thing I understood least :)

And I'm hoping to arrange another annual trip out into the fens to The Anchor in Sutton Gault for my birthday this year. (-8

We also liked the Duxford Lodge Hotel.
