We had the tasting menu and it was incredible. Reasonably priced for the quality of the food which was outstanding. The presentation of the food was very carefully done and looked as good as it tasted. The staff were so friendly, welcoming, informative and attentive from the moment we entered until we left. Nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere was cosy with several tables in a smallish area which essentially is too living rooms joined together. The tables are spaced far enough apart that you don’t feel like anyone is intruding and they aren’t trying to cram you in. The whole experience gets a 10/10 from me and my wife and we will be going back again in the future.

I had a full course dinner menu at the Cambridge Michelin restaurant, which was quite impressive. I did not expect to be stuffed at a Michelin restaurant given my large appetite… We started off the taste journey with a bite size warm cheese tart, topped with shredded Parmesan. Among the three snacks, my favorite was the rabbit course, which was exquisitely prepared with complex flavors. Featuring a thin, crispy coating with the wild taste of rabbit meat preserved just right. The pre-meal bread was a pleasant surprise and one of the reasons my friend revisited. I'm not usually interested in flaky bread, but the bread itself was moist but not greasy, and I was surprised by its warm feel, easily crumbled crust, and perfectly structured air pockets. Among the three kinds of butter, my favorite was the fermented yeast, which had an unexpected taste of miso. Followed by a custard mushroom soup, the custard was different from the Asian style, resembling cream added, with a garnish of black truffle aroma, overall not bad. The three main courses were pork belly, codfish, and beef. The pork belly was fatty but balanced well with an aggressive sauce similar to "scallion oil"; the final steak was thoughtful, with butter used in a layered potato, the beef tongue and steak were slow-fried, and the bone marrow was stewed into a sauce. However, the codfish was a bit disappointing, although the fish was tender from low-temperature slow cooking, the sauce lacked surprise. The transition before the dessert was clever, with a grapefruit sorbet parfait and lemon jelly making a refreshing, grease-cutting ice cream sandwich. However, the actual dessert was somewhat too heavy, with the caramel almost reaching the viscosity of toffee, overpowering the bitterness of the chocolate itself, which, as a chocolate lover, I only managed to finish with difficulty. Overall, it was delicious, but I feel this menu was not well-balanced between dishes, starting from the very first appetizer, giving a strong sensory impact and easily becoming too rich.

The meal was wonderful. The chef and the team was brilliant.Not only the food was delicous, their services was excellent. I liked the starter to the desserts. They used the local sourced ingredients from for the dishes, they made the tasty beet which from Herefordshire. It was terrificly good, it is worth the money.

Excellent!! Wonderful service and exquisite menu. Often tasting menus have a strong start, but can’t keep up the level for all dishes. Not at Twenty-Two, every dish is delicious, from start to finish. Moreover, the staff is very attentive, and gifting a box with their delicate homemade bread upon departing is a good example of a little touch that can truly elevate the customer experience. Thank you! Looking forward to coming again

Absolutely delicious and great service. Bread and butter? It wasn't just bread and butter, delightfully fluffy, layered croissant style buns with whipped, quenelles of butters mixed with delightful flavours. The rest of the food was perfection, everything went together like a jigsaw on the plate, every flavour purposeful and edible. I could go on but the bottom line is, you have to go and try this place if you haven't yet. If you don't like food, don't go. If you do, better get a booking now.

I would like to thank the entire team for making the evening very special. I still see & remember the visit as it was yesterday and in reality it's almost to 2 weeks. Your michelin star is well deserved. From the beginning till the end everything was perfect. My special thank you goes to Bethany. Thank you for taking me with you to the journey of sommelier. The wine presentation showed that you know what you are talking about. The short stories behind those wines were amazing. The highlight was that south african wine. As you said it was meant to be. Thank you!

What can I say that's not already been said? Use any superlative you can think of and then some. Tucked away in a rather "blink and you'll miss it" victorian townhouse is this superb restaurant. Lorry driver & cleaner made to feel like millionaire lottery winners. Been lucky enough to have dined at a couple of Michelin star restaurants but always felt the urge to "let's have a burger" afterwards. Not here though, oh, no. Left fully appetite satisfied. Best Sauvingnon blanc we've had and by restaurant prices, a good price. (Had two, and we're from Yorkshire!) It was wife's birthday and also our wedding anniversary and she was skeptical about paying so much for a meal. Changed her mind afterwards. Money we'll spent.

This place is amazing! This was a birthday treat from my son and his wife, who have also visited this restaurant and they knew we'd like it. From first stepping through the door to leaving, the experience was perfection. We had been booked in for the lunchtime taster menu, quite a few courses and we were told of what we were eating for each course. We went for the flight of wine which starts at the main course and you get a different type of wine to go with course you were eating. The knowledge of the staff regarding the food and wine was brilliant, We loved it, we were made to feel special that afternoon. When we left we were given a little going away package all neatly wrapped and told to warm in the oven. We did this the next day and it was a kind of malty bread, delicious. This definitely is a treat of a restaurant and would definitely recommend

Having had this on our wish list for a while we decided to treat dine here as our Christmas gift to ourselves, and we were not disappointed. Lovely setting and attentive staff. The food was amazing, tasty and beautifully presented with clear explanations as each was served. It would be difficult to pick a favourite dish all were so good, with the most delicious combinations of flavour and texture. On a personal note the only thing we didn't enjoy was the yeast butter ( one of three, so plenty of the others to enjoy with the most delicious bread we have ever had). The only very minor suggestion for improving the score from 99 to 100 would be staggering the serving of dishes in the upstairs area a bit more, it is small ( which is lovely) but when most of the tables were served a dish within a few seconds of each other it was quite difficult to focus in in our server and hear them properly ) not their fault, they were speaking clearly and loudly enough, just the combination of so many talking at the same time). For a special treat we'd definitely recommend dining here.

We have been going to R22 for a few years now & have loved it. The food is great. We’re always surprised by something & the wine pairings are spot on. We always opt for the full tasting menu and flight of wines to get the most out of the experience. The place is cute & cosy, which is one of the reasons we’ve repeated our visits. Our last trip was not so great though & we won’t be going back. It all started so well. Incredible food & wine as always. Cannot complain about that. Half way through the meal my husband commented that he thought we were being rushed a little. We had finished the whole thing at the same time as those around us who were having the shorter menu. Certainly not how it should be or how we’ve ever experienced before. Then we were offered a drink to finish, which we ordered. As the drinks were brought over to us, we were told we had 5 minutes to finish them and leave as our time was up! Sadly this left a really bad taste in the mouth & combined with the rushed meal, spoilt the experience. It was such a shame. If they’d messed up & not allowed sufficient time for us to have the full menu they should’ve just said rather than rushed it. Too much money to spend for it to be ruined like that. We'll be heading back to Midsumer House for these meals from now on. More expensive but the service is on another level.

Previous reviews make a very compelling case as to why this is simply a fabulous restaurant. But you need to try it for yourself. It is very special and the quality of the food is out of this world. The friendly service complements the whole experience and the staff are all incredibly knowledgeable. Although a tasting menu, with multiple courses, they arrive at a leisurely pace and you never feel full. We had the classic wine flight and this was extremely carefully chosen with flavours that paired superbly. We will definitely return and although not cheap, this place was worth every last penny. Thanks to all!!

Absolutely 5 star, I would give 6 stars if I could based purely on the service alone. Booked in for my Girlfriend's birthday and from the minute we walked up the steps to the front door to the moment we left we were treated like royalty. Little touches like a card on the table for her and a birthday dessert were unexpected and wholeheartedly touching. That's before I even get on to the food! Every plate was precisely explained, dietary requirements catered for and most importantly: tasted absolutely divine. We had the joy of sampling the 7 course tasting menu and there are elements of it that I still crave again a week later! We didn't go for the accompanying wine flites, however hearing the sommelier take other tables through the selection kind of made us wish we had. Maybe next time! Thank you to Sam and all the staff back and front for making our evening so special.

They have also been incredibly lovely recently at accommodating a late change with our booking which I appreciate greatly.

The entire staff at Twenty Two works extremely well to contribute to a perfectly wonderful experience. The service is polite and attentive, accompanying the guest throughout the meal without getting overbearing. I had a lovely time chatting with everyone, and found all of the staff extremely precise on the description of the dishes. Overall they truly contributed to the welcoming atmosphere that made my visit feel so special. The full tasting menu holds up beautifully from start to finish. My favorites included a rabbit dish with a ginger pairing, unexpected but sensational, and the pigeon main which featured a blackberry ketchup I'll be dreaming about for the foreseeable future. It's worth mentioning the dinner ends on a high note with a dessert that didn't live in the shadow of a perfectly crafted savory selection (I'll admit I get really excited about desserts!!) Truly worth a try (and a second one, and a third one, and I guess I'll just have to be back to Cambridge every once in a while just to see what Twenty Two is up to)

Solid 5-star. Totally enjoyed the lunch menu and looking forward to bringing my family and friends here! This is going to be no. 1 place for treating important guests (Might sneak back on my own for some a weekday treat too <3) Literally everything is fantastic. Thoughtful but not ostentatious creations with local produces. Parmesan snack with roasted pumpkin seeds. Warm, gooey, cheesy. A beautiful starting point. The green asparagus custard with ham and aerated white asparagus foam really encapsulates the spring. Herbal and full of umami, it has a light texture like Asian steamed egg. Bread arrives as a laminated brioche, which looks like a denser croissant. A little guilty, but delicious. Beautifully layered and buttery. The butter is milky, but the chicken liver pate is the absolute queen on the bread. Smooth, creamy, flavorful but not too heavy even on top of that flaky bun. Cured and seared cod, covered lemon dill and in mustard hollandaise. I was worried it could be too overpowering, but it is alright. Still extra for me and reminds me of my college kitchen. Crispy kale is lovely and the radish is refreshing. The cod itself is plump and tender. 8/10 Prime cut of beef in slow cooked in water bath. The beautiful pink piece is deliciously seasoned and tender. The bottom piece tastes like red braised and contains a melting chunk of tendon. Morel mushrooms are pickled and slightly sour, zingy. The Great Abington asparagus is gigantic in size but delicate in taste. Red wine and garlic sauce has capers, ham, and mustard in it and offers complex flavors. Also enjoyed the celeriac purée which goes well with the steak. The plating is so elegant and not pretentious at all. 10/10 Absolutely love the dessert. The best finishing course among my recent years’ dining experiences (excluding my tiramisu hunts)! Again a fine balance between taste and creativity. Frangipane sponge, crumbly and light. Chocolate mousse. Naturally sweet Banana jam. Hazelnut mousse. A small scoop of salted milk ice cream, delightfully savory and cooling. Shortbread and mushroom crumbs. Banana stick. Not trying to be extravagant but everything combines harmoniously to present extraordinary finale. ❤️ And thankfully it’s not too sweet at all— surprisingly, the dark chocolate dome and the ripe banana core may be the sweetest part. Heard it’s new to the menu. Please keep it 🥹 100/10 The little space is cozy and has the charm of sitting in a loving family home. The second floor is intimate with lovely drawings. Service is super warm, attentive but not intrusive. And the courses come one after another in an efficient pace. Eat slower and enjoy ;) Congratulations to the chef and team on the well-deserved Michelin star.

This was my first visit to Restaurant 22 though my daughter (whose birthday it was) and her partner have been a number of times. We had the full tasting menu with wine pairing and I was very impressed. My initial reflection was that the whole...

Our second visit and it was as outstanding and memorable as the first. This place is foodie heaven. So much work and care has gone into every mouthful. How this place has not earned a couple of Michelin stars, I have no idea. Ambience downstairs...

I came here about 7 years ago and loved the food but didn’t like the atmosphere. It felt like a grandmother’s living room…It’s now been completely transformed and is fantastic. The staff are first rate and the tasting menu was sensational. I’d highly recommend it...

Family birthday lunch. Full tasting menu. Wine Flight and Soft drinks flight. Thus, we tried it all and I had thought to single out our absolute stand-out dishes, but it would be almost everything we had. The absolute star of the show was a hogget...

Stunning and delicious food! We were welcomed and looked after throughout by polite and friendly staff. The soft drink flight was so refreshing (neither of us drink) and a real treat. Will definitely be booking in for NY eve next year!

This cosy restaurant is a great find. The warm friendly welcome and attention to the detail of explanation of each item on the menu told us we were in for an exclusive experience only to be found in the very top restaurants. We weren't disappointed....

Visited Saturday for our Wedding Anniversary and had a fantastic time. We were at 6pm so had the short tasting menu with matching wine flight. The food was excellently presented as you would expect from a Michelin guide restaurant with lovely flavours and textures. The...

Another superlative meal at Restaurant22. We went for lunch this time and had the tasting menu which was fantastic. Chicken, monkfish and duck dishes all delicious; the wine flight went well with the courses and as ever introduced us to something new - this time...

I cannot express what a fantastic time we had! Highly recommend this restaurant! The team went above and beyond to accommodate my pregnancy dietary annoyances and the service in general was wonderful. The food, with and without the changes, was simply exceptional. One of the...

We had the taster menu for my wife’s birthday. It was exceptional and the waiter / waitress explained how the food was prepared and even where the ingredients were sourced. They even gave my wife a birthday card! Absolutely lovely.

Just wonderful from beginning to end. The food flavours were a delight and the attention to detail was second to none. There were so many elements to remember, the brioche was like a pillow with the best parfait I have ever eaten, the new set...

We booked lunch for 2 in the morning via the restaurant’s website of the day before we ate (but were exceptionally lucky & the website appears to suggest they are often booked 2 months in advance). Try your luck and see… Their website suggests you...

We had the lunch tasting menu. Every course was exceptional. Really creative mixture of flavours & textures. My favourite being the scallop dish. A real taste of the sea. The service is first class with every dish explained to you. We also had a wine...

This place used to be right in the city centre of Cambridge. The food is pretty basic, but there are some Indonesians delicacy. This is more like a takeaway place than a restaurant. The only Indonesi
