John Lewis Brasserie, 10 Downing Street, Cambridge
On Monday we discovered the Brasserie on the top floor of the new John Lewis store in Cambridge. It was contemporary in design and could cater for up to 160 covers. With views across Cambridge roof tops, it was a pleasant environment to spend some time in. We ordered up a Traditional Breakfast (£6.50) for me and Eggs Benedict (£4.95) for Dusty. To drink we ordered orange juice (£1.95) and fresh coffee (£1.95). To our surprise the orange juice was concentrated instead of the freshly squeezed we expected. The coffee itself was OK but nothing special either. My breakfast was a little poor. I again expected it to be freshly cooked but it seemed a little dry and stale to me. The egg had clearly being standing a while. All in all, the bill for breakfast came to £21.30. Bit of a disappointment really.
