The Open Guide to Cambridge

For desserts, Dojo offers critically acclaimed ice creams from Alder Tree, a premium handmade ice cream boutique based in East Anglia.

Dojo's interior, whilst compact, is elegantly contemporary with hints of Chinoiserie design and rococo elements. The main feature of the restaurant is the stunning hand painted wallpaper by local artist Debbie Plaskett illustrating vistas of songbirds and fauna in an Oriental garden.
