Michaelhouse Cafe

(££) **½ Michaelhouse Café (Trinity Street) offers a glimpse into the interior of what would have been one of Cambridge’s oldest colleges, Michaelhouse, being set up on two levels in the ex-college’s former chapel. Henry VIII dissolved Michaelhouse College, founded in 1324, in 1540 to create Trinity College, and the building now houses a vegetarian café and a community centre. The food really does taste healthy, albeit a bit bland, apparently because it is made with less salt than normal, and emphasises raw vegetables and pulses. The Independent just voted it one of the top 50 cafes in the UK - but we're not quite sure why.
