Ta Bouche - Cambridge

Wandering the streets of Cambridge there are many beautiful things to catch your eye, not least of which is the countless café's, bars and tearooms. Currently my adventures have landed me in ‘Ta Bouche’ a self-proclaimed ‘Restaurant-Cocktail Bar-Café’ hidden away in a corner between roads full of mismatched shops.

The modern cocktail bar is all glass and multicoloured lights behind a sturdy looking granite-topped bar stocked with over seventy types of alcohol ( yes, I counted, yes, I received some really odd looks from the staff…). Above the bar there is a strip of ceiling on which there are pasted an assortment of weird and wonderful pictures including a man holding a magnifying glass to his teeth and some truly marvellous moustaches showing the bars quirky personality. I also love the beautiful menu that sits on the spindle table in front of (the lower tables’ seats were too low) that is decorated with pictures too, some personal to Cambridge, some wider known, such Marilyn Monroe in that spotty bikini or Kate and Will’s wedding kiss. Its full of delicious looking food including a reasonably priced children’s menu that offers ‘a free scoop of ice cream (for all children who leave a clean plate)’ (yes, that is a direct quote from the menu) and with a 15% student discount too, this is the perfect place for people of all ages, families during the day and friends in the evenings.

This stunningly modern bar shows its modernity in its glass and chrome interiors, twitter ‘tag’ (which made me smile) ‘@taboucherocks’ and the fact that the sugar for my tea came in a shot glass… I recommend Ta Bouche to anyone looking for a nice play to have an enjoyable and reasonably priced meal/drink out. (Ta Bouche also offers free venue hire for parties!
