Stem & Glory Cambridge

Booked for our anniversary dinner and had such a lovely time. Staff were friendly and attentive, the food was excellent, in fact it was so good we ended up heading back for Sunday lunch the next day! I have to say, the redefine beef flank blew my mind, so tasty, we will definitely be back.

We visited Cambridge specifically to eat at Stem & Glory for our anniversary. We were very impressed! The food was delicious, tasty, well presented and great portions. All the staff were friendly, helpful and offered great menu advice. The buffalo cauliflower wings where wonderful. A fabulous vegan experience!

Came here for a Sunday lunch. The food was fantastic, we had the king oyster “scallops” these were melt in the mouth, missing a little sea flavour and a touch on the small side. Bang bang broccoli, this was to die for, quite a big portion, so glad we shared. Nice kick of spice added to it. Fillet mignon was our main, this was so good, the truffle really came through the sauce, my only criticism is that there was a lot of pepper, a little too much for my taste. Overall a great meal.

If I could give this place more stars, I would!! It was so nice to have such a wonderful choice of food options all made so creatively. I had the “sea bass” which was just incredible, my husband had the king oyster mushroom tacos which were delicious and we shared the Bang Bang Broccoli which was also amazing! I wished we lived closer to visit regularly but we’ll definitely be coming back!

Great atmosphere on a Saturday night the service was also fab for a large table. Starters were amazing however the tacos main was very disappointing. They literally crumbled in my hand. I was unable to pick it up and had to use a knife and fork to finish the meal. I would also say that the Taste wasn’t very great either. I ordered a can of flavoured water which was £5 so when severed in a tall glass of ice it really took away any hint of flavour. I did bring this up to the waiter who said that’s how it’s served so be specific when ordering things. The tiramisu was delicious! The meal was quite expensive for what it’s worth

Visiting from Brighton as this menu looked great and wanted to try. Service was polite and friendly, sat outside as weather was lovely. Had the mushroom scallops and Italian sausage pizza which was generous and the base was spot on. The only negative was that the menu said fries however when served they were more potato wedges and quite chunky. Wifey had the harisa tofu which went down a treat. For desert we opted for raspberry sorbet and the choc cheesecake with blood orange sorbet, both great. Would come back to try more of the menu.

I last went to Stem and Glory some years ago in its original venue. It was decent, but I didn’t feel the need to return. This time? Oh my goodness. I will be back. The menu has had a full revamp and is full of exciting and interesting dishes. It is a bit of a crazy mixture of different ideas but somehow it works! What I particularly enjoyed was the flavour combinations that I hadn’t come across before - the sour/sweet green onion and miso sauce with the kimchi pancakes, the funky ferments of the pickles, the creamy cauliflower sauce that came with the king oyster mushroom stems and artichoke dish - try it mixed with the fermented capers in the pickles. And for goodness sake order some of their garlic bread to mop all the sauce up at the end, it is outstandingly good. Things to improve? The lighting is a bit bright - a bit more mood lighting would help! The drinks menus are illegible… Just get them printed on a bit of paper, it will be fine :-) And It would be nice to have a bottle of water on the table when we come in. Overall, the service was excellent, the prices very fair, and the staff and chefs were very happy to answer all our questions and were very welcoming and helpful. I will be coming back. Not because it’s vegan, that is distinctly not a selling point for me. I will be coming back because the food is fantastic and intriguing. The presentation is beautiful. And the staff are excellent. One of the best meals I’ve had in Cambridge in years.

I hadn't been here in a couple of years and it's been nice to be back! Great and tasty selection of vegan foods and lots of interesting alcohol-free drink options made this a very nice experience 😊 The sharer tacos and a side was plenty for 2 people. A really great place, whether you're un Cambridge for longer or just (as was the case with us) stuck there for an hour between trains and need a nice dinner ✨
