Well, I'm not convinced by the name, but the restaurant is the same as it was years ago, and really is very good.
It's tapas-style, but not of Spanish dishes. Don't try to agree compromises between large numbers of people, it just provokes argument. But it's good to be able to choose two or three favourite bits and combine them.
The food all tastes really good. Choose two or three dishes each and swap bits. It's not even much more expensive than anywhere else: three dishes could serve as starter and main course, and might come to <£15.
The Granta
We used to come here with the tolkien society after meetings in New Hall, but I don't think I ever ate here. But the food was simple but very well done, actually. A mite more fancy than average pub food and very tasty.
The Zebra
Has changed hands *again* becoming a Polish themed pub! The food was generally nice but not special, and pleasantly unpronounceable, but I miss the pizza deals, those were very well done.
I was reminded to try the Sino Tap at some point.
The Rainbow
Well, nothing to add, it remains the best vegetarian restaurant in Cambridge, unfortunately. (The people, decor, soups and teas are excellent, but the food is good, just not outstanding.) But I always like being *in* there the way I like just being in libraries, I feel at home :)

Bulletproof Monk
Jul. 17th, 2007 04:03 pmI *didn't* manage to get to the film festival, but while I was busy with other things I saw several films over the weekend, though nothing of great value.
I think I owe Bulletproof monk an apology. I still think it's very stupid, but it does it with a will and sense of humour. The Nazis *did* take an interest in Tibet before WWII, so that wasn't (edit: was->wasn't) as arbitrary as it seemed.
( Spoilers, also Inside Man and Bride and Prejudice )
