Cambridge
Cambridge eats across its stitched-together cores — Galt's stone streets and Gaslight District, Preston, Hespeler — where a riverside mill dining room anchors a scene that runs from Laotian to Jamaican. The Grand River ties the plates together.

Pizzeria Motola
9.9Pizzeria Motola brings chef Giuliano Motola's Taranto-to-Galt story into Cambridge's Gaslight District through whole Neapolitan pizzas, lunch-only Puglian pucce, Italian drinks, and house desserts. The strongest order runs through Burrata e Pesca, Margherita, Puccia Pistacchio, and La Dolce Pizza.
Irie Myrie
9.7Irie Myrie is a Cambridge Jamaican kitchen built around jerk chicken, oxtail, curry plates, ackee, fish, festival, plantain, and a lunch-special rhythm that makes the Cherry Blossom Road address feel like a practical local find.
Willibald Pizza
9.6NY-style pies and slices on George Street North in downtown Galt. Ten 18-inch pies on 5-day cold-fermented dough, slices daily 11:30 AM – 4 PM, full bar in the dining room. Head chef Brian McCourt, Dublin-born and Waterloo Region-trained. Wed-Sun, closed Mon/Tue. The second Willibald location, after the 2017 Ayr distillery.
Tomita Sushi
9.5Tomita Sushi is a Cambridge sushi and Japanese takeout spot with enough roll variety, bento comfort, and bubble tea utility to work for solo orders, small groups, and low-key weeknight meals.
Country Girl Family Restaurant
9.5Country Girl is a Hespeler Road breakfast-and-lunch restaurant built for daytime regulars: Benedicts, skillets, burgers, poutine, sweet crêpes, waffles, mimosas, and a Wednesday seniors offer all sit inside a friendly family-restaurant format.
Namaste London
9.5Namaste London is a Hespeler Indian bar-and-grill with a broad tandoori-and-curry menu, chef-owner context, practical takeout and reservation paths, and weekly food offers that make it easy to plan around specific dishes.
Cambridge Mill
9.4Cambridge Mill turns a restored Grand River gristmill into an occasion restaurant, with farm-to-table cooking, current weekly features, and a brunch program that makes the building feel used rather than preserved.
Latinoamerica Unida
9.4Latinoamerica Unida is a compact Cambridge Mexican restaurant with unusual menu depth for its size: birria tacos, steak-finished enchiladas, pozole, mole, cochinita, cactus options, party trays, and a dessert lineup that rewards saving room.
Andy's Pizza
9.2Andy's Pizza is a long-running Cambridge/Galt pizza shop built around customer-favourite pies, oven-baked subs, wings, and old-school phone-order service. The appeal is practical: classic toppings, party-size pizzas, family-owned warmth, and everyday value.
Khyber Afghan Grill
9.1Khyber Afghan Grill is a Cambridge Afghan grill where the cleanest first order is a kebab combo, then a rice side or gravy dish around it. It is casual, group-friendly, and strongest when treated as a grilled-meat-and-rice stop rather than a broad fusion restaurant.
The Bruce Craft House
9.1The Bruce Craft House is the Cambridge Hotel restaurant that has become its own craft-house room: stone-fired pizzas, local craft beer, Ontario duck confit, short rib perogies, Spaghetti de Pato, and a 32-hour short rib. It is useful for hotel guests, Cambridge locals, groups, and reservations, with the Bruce Brett name-origin and B Hospitality story giving the place more local memory than a generic lobby restaurant.
Leymoon
9.1Leymoon is a Cambridge Mediterranean counter-service restaurant with a founder story behind the name: lemon in Arabic, carried into shawarma, grill plates, salads, poutines, and sweets. Junaidh Mon and Shefeeq Palakkal are the verified owner/co-owner layer; no current chef is named publicly.
