d'Arry's, Cambridge

First dine-out of the year. Have spotted this restaurant for a while which seems another "local" restaurant (hallelujah). After watching The Artist, it's just a short stroll away.

Here is what we ordered:

Starters: Deep-fried Whitebait and Mezze Platter
Mains: d'Arry's fillet burger and Fish & Chips.

Wow, we were very pleasantly surprised. Although d'Arry's mentions seafood to be their strength (freshly delivered everyday), their burger is possibly the best I've tasted in Cambridge. Tender, juicy, flavorsome and it comes with a healthy portion of salad, nicely dressed. And yes, both Whitebait and Fish & Chips were all expertly made. The light tempura coating on my sea bass remained crispy while I ate and this is the first ever Fish & Chips I've had where the coating does not separate from the fish. That shows you the fine craftsmanship this restaurant has.

Overall, our first visit of d'Arry's is very satisfied. Fresh ingredients, properly prepared, generous portions, tasty all around, cozy ambiance, attentive but non-intrusive service. What more can I say?

Will come back.

Food: 7.5/10
