3. Turkish Restaurant, Bourges Boulevard
The restaurant has been created in under-used space at The Triangle Supermarket on Bourges Boulevard, run by local businessman Selaattin Karaoglan and his family for many years. Indoors it certainly has a Turkish feel to it, with stone-look walls and chandelier lighting creating a tavern effect. The food will be traditional, authentically cooked on coals, and will be served from 10am, though to 11pm. Photo: PT

4. Origin8, Thorpe Meadows
A new cafe has opened at Thorpe Meadows, at the end of the rowing lake nearest the car park – open seven days a week and offering customers a brew with a beautiful view. Every day from 9am to 4pm the team from Origin8 will be serving hot and cold drinks as well as toasties, paninis, bacon rolls, cakes and ice creams. Dogs are welcome – you'll find dog treats and water bowls provided – plus there is an accessible toilet and a baby change. Photo: PT
