Restaurant Twenty Two in Cambridge

A real gem. The short tasting dishes were great on flavours. Loved every dish. The venison and Hogget were amazing. The vegetarian menu was really enjoyed by my partner. The staff were a credit. All of them were nice and friendly and had great diner engagement, Food

Excellent food and drink with tip top friendly service.

Special meal to celebrate a couple birthdays. What a fantastic gem in Cambridge. High quality ingredients prepared expertly and with a very unpretencious atmosphere of kind service. Standouts were by far the Cod and seafood preparations. Thank you for a great memory of food, friends, and family. Also try the local winery options instead of your typical options.

Great tasting food with amazing attention to detail but dont expect to be full afterwards

A very nice place we love to go for special occasions. The food is always amazing, the staff really attentive and pleasant. Vegetarian options: The restaurant doesnt operate a menu you choose from, but they accommodate any dietary requirements or preferences.

Lovely food , great service. Deserves 2 stars. Just go. You won t regret.

Had a lovely lunch here with short tasting menu and paired wines. Amazing food, equally amazing wines to match. Every course was fantastic. Really well looked after without being too fussy. Thankyou! Will be coming back

Stunning food in taste and presentation, service exceptional, the very best of eating out in Cambridge. We recommend everything! Dietary restrictions: Allergies taken seriously with several checks along the way. Those with allergies (last night we had two people with different allergies) get substitutes that are every bit as good as the main taster menu course, unlike other restaurants that just remove the course without a substitute or it is of a lesser standard.

Wonderful restaurant with exceptional service and food.

This place is a culinary portal, a journey into another dimension from which you may never recover. I found myself swinging between existential euphoria and cognitive dissonance, at times wondering if I might get arrested as I shifted from the art admirer in awe, then vandalising the exhibit in front of me in the name of culinary hedonism. A few times I genuinely felt tears arise, held my face in my hands, astounded at what had been created, the tastes, textures, the whole experience a glimpse into undreamed possibilities Every dish, drink pairings, the service, absolutely perfect. The soft flights were a revelation! I left utterly broken hearted that it was over. I may spend the rest of my days scrolling through photos longing for the lover that wrote her name in my heart and tongue. Only visit if you re willing to shift from beige to a multi-coloured multi-dimensional experience of food, perhaps of life Indeed only visit if you re willing to fall in love

First class food and service. It is one of the best restaurants around. The guinea Fowl course was to die for! I could eulogise all day about the quality of the food, wine and service. Eaten at many, many good restaurants and this is up there with my favourites

Absolutely wonderful food staff were fantastic would return without a doubt

Restaurant 22 is young, fresh, daring and in some occasions bold. Not only in its flavors but also wine selection. Just go and see for yourself.

TWENTY TWO is a restaurant that does not deserve the Michelin star. Pretentious and dishonest. Lack of creativity and inability to meet the needs of clients with some culinary limitations despite having specified them prior to booking. Very unprofessional staff and an unhygienic bathroom. In short, I am surprised that with a newly inaugurated star, they take such poor care of their clients. I predict a very short future for you in Michelin stardom and I recommend that you all spend your money somewhere else.

Dietary restrictions: They didnt give me the option, after having indicated it in the reservation, to have fish. I dont know, they took care of the mistake. I didnt eat the main course because they didnt know how to react to their mistake.

Weve visited Restaurant 22 twice (for birthday and anniversary celebrations), and have had a wonderful experience on both occasions. The team of staff were warm, informative, and went above and beyond to ensure we felt extra special on our visits. The full tasting menu and wine pairing were exceptional and well matched. There were multiple dietary requirements within our group (vegetarian, pescetarian, nut allergy) which were all accommodated seamlessly. Every course was a highlight, so it was difficult to decide which one we loved best! We will definitely be coming back next time we are in Cambridge and there is a special occasion to celebrate.

The only place to go in Cambridge for an intimate atmosphere, the most attentive staff and mind blowing food. We ve been to Restaurant 22 quite a few times now and they just keep getting better! The food is seasonal and so inventive. I would try anything they put in front of me! We had both wine pairings last time to try both and it added a whole new level to the experience. It s a super special place without being pretentious or excluding - I couldn t speak more highly of the whole team, we always leave happy, full and want my to return as soon as possible. A really special experience!

A very special restaurant! The food is original, the staff are very knowledgeable and the wine pairings complement the food perfectly. We had lunch here, receiving the full tasting menu, and the experience was much more than just sitting down to eat - it is a whole sensory affair! They also were happy to accommodate any dietary requirements. This is cambridge at its best!

A tiny place with amazing food. This is a must if your a foodie, only one star. But food is brilliant, service is fantastic, I think if you moved the house to a better location it could probably achieve 3 stars. Great place

Went for the lunch. In general the service was not up to the standard of a star. In particular the wine service was worse than most non-Michelin restaurants. When we ordered glasses of wine, they were simply plonked on the table as the waiter was passing by without stopping. No bottle shown, no information given on the wine. They also didn t have any dedicated sommelier on the floor during our lunch and we were served drinks by around 2-3 different people. They also kept asking us what we wanted for our next drink before we had even halfway finished our first, which gave a very rushed and unpleasant overall experience.

Fantastic dining experience.

Considering visiting Midsummer? Dont. Come here instead. The food is exceptional and unlike Midsummer, you wont need to take out a mortgage to dine here. The service is warm, friendly and informative, the ideal blend of professionalism and fun - some fine dining experiences can feel too stiff but Twenty Two have achieved the perfect balance.

A few snaps shots from our tasting menu at Restaurant Twenty Two. To summarise: incredible food and wonderful service. The crab course and guinea fowl course were our favourites. We found the staff excellent, in particular Annabelle who was passionate and articulate. Would highly recommend.

One word . The most brilliant service and amazing throughly planned out an excellent thought food menu. Perfection delivered on every level . thank you . A memorable experience . Larax

An intimate (but not stuffy) restaurant with locally sourced, flavorful and creative dishes! A really great experience.

Magnificent experience, we cannot thank the incredible team at Restaurant 22 enough for an unforgettable evening. The customer service and attention to detail is of the highest standards, our food was a beautiful infusion of seasonal produce and clever innovation. We also choose the wine pairing to accompany the tasting menu which we would highly recommend. Every aspect of the experience has been thought about in great detail and makes for a very special memory. A truly wonderful restaurant!

So happy to have found this Michelin 1 star place while traveling to Cambridge during Spring Break. The food, the wine, the service, the atmosphere were all superb. They even gifted us some brioche bread to bring home. Its the little gesture that counts. Very satisfied with the experience and would love to be back in the future!

Lovley birthday lunch. Amazing food, drinks and service!

awesome experience I thoroughly enjoyed it, tasting menu was great.

Best restaurant in Cambridge

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.

Had their tasting menu with the wine flight. We had the best experience. Expensive - yes, but we felt like we had good value.

The tasting menu is incredible, wonderful experience throughout

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.

If you want to experience the warmest welcome, delicious wines and food that simply defies all superlatives then this is the place to be. The fabulous team work together to create the best atmosphere for you to create amazing memories of dining perfection.

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. Im 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.

Beautifully presented and very tasty food with soft drink pairing. One of the team worked out it was for a birthday celebration and surprised us with a little birthday treat which was a lovely touch.

This restaurant is booked out weeks ahead for a good reason. It is the very very best eating experience in Cambridge. I would unreservedly recommend you try it. Just superb!!!

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 its 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!

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 wasnt 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 havent yet. If you dont like food, dont go. If you do, better get a booking now.

Everything was very nice, from the food (we have regular and no fish tasting menus) to the atmosphere and service. Myself was very full midway through the menu :) Loved the parmesan starters and the amazing soup.

Just awesome

Superb food and service, deserves its michelin star. Had the lunch menu which was perfect, the apple desert was the highlight for me. Hope to be back soon.

Everything was fantastic !

My partner and I had a wonderful meal here. We got stuck in standstill traffic and ended up being 40mins late (!!!) but they still accommodated us and kept the table which was really very kind of them. Service was really lovely and I cant fault them in anyway. Highly recommend restaurant 22 - well be back

This place is amazing! This was a birthday treat from my son and his wife, who have also visited this restaurant and they knew wed 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

What can I say thats not already been said? Use any superlative you can think of and then some. Tucked away in a rather blink and youll 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 lets have a burger afterwards. Not here though, oh, no. Left fully appetite satisfied. Best Sauvingnon blanc weve had and by restaurant prices, a good price. (Had two, and were from Yorkshire!) It was wifes birthday and also our wedding anniversary and she was skeptical about paying so much for a meal. Changed her mind afterwards. Money well spent.

Extraordinary food, in a beautiful, understated setting, with flawless, friendly service. Couldnt fault our dinner here, and cant wait to return. An example of what a special place it is: having raved about the bread during dinner, when we came to get our coats, we were handed a loaf to take home with us. Its touches like that which set a place apart

My wife took me to here as a surprise to enjoy the short tasting menu with paired drinks, and indeed, what an amazing surprise it was! Understated and demure, we went without expectation and were really moved by the whole experience. The personable nature of the staff who all had their individual personalities added to the experience. The food was an amazing treat and gives Cambridgeshires best an amazing challenge. The descriptions, flavours and presentations are something else. Thank you to the team for making this pre-Christmas experience so special. Attention to detail, great service, unforgettable flavours and textures...Restaurant Twenty Two is a must for genuine fine dining in Cambridgeshire.

Exquisite food. Friendly, attentive and knowledable staff. Could not recommend more highly.

Great service and great taster menu. Drinks were also very good esp the soft flight. Highly recommended if you are looking for a high end dining experience in Cambridge.

I have eaten here occasionally over many years, but went most recently in Nov 2022. They have squeezed in a couple of tables and there is now an upstairs but it is still very small. Bear that in mind if you want to talk business - sound travels. I have been amazed what I have over- heard when other guests have had a glass or two! Food wise it has stepped up a gear. We had the lunchtime tasting and it was exquisite. Service is exemplary too.

Amazing experience. It s so much better now in terms of atmosphere compared to 7-8 years ago. Food and service are exceptional. Fantastic evening.

Absolutely incredible. Fine dining, incredible flavours and pairings, but no pretentiousness. Faultless from start to finish. Best restaurant in Cambridgeshire hands down

Sensibly priced; food average. Staff were attentive and professional.

Fantastic vegan menu.

There are many reasons why this place is booked up for months ahead. But everyone else has already said it. So I ll just attach photos.

Lovely atmosphere, such personal knowledgeable service and food that matches far higher rates establishments. Flavours and textures out of this world. Superb!!

My partner brought me here for a special lunch. The full tasting menu and wine pairing was absolutely divine. The perfect amount of food; we didn t leave too full or hungry. We each had different dish favourites though they were all divine in different ways! The cocktails we had whilst eating the initial snacks (Negroni and espresso martini) were incredible. Fantastic service too.

First visit to thus restaurant. Will definitely be going there again.

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.

Heavenly bliss. Couldnt fault anything and will return.

So incredibly delicious and great value for what is a really special place. I took my husband for his 40th birthday and the team at Restaurant Twenty Two made a lovely effort to make it special for him. Food was fab, neither of us were drinking so we did the soft drinks flight which was a really great option which we enjoyed so much. Will definitely be going back!

Food was delicious and the staff were so accommodating, we arrived late due to traffic and they kicked up no fuss at all, let us take our time with everything. It was a great experience :)

We enjoyed an exceptional meal here tonight. Thank you to the staff for a delicious and thoughtful celebratory meal!

A beautiful little jewel of a restaurant. Enjoyed a fab evening out with my foodie buddy, and we enjoyed the short tasting menu with matching flight of fine wines. Everything was so well considered, the portion sizes make for a lovely meal where you get to taste so many delightful things, feel well fed but not overstuffed by the end. The wines were beautifully matched with the food, nothing out of balance and the staff were delightful, welcoming and knowledgeable about both the food and drinks served. The petit four were so delicious and a perfect way to round off the meal. Yes, its a fancy treat experience, but its worth every penny.

What a wonderful lunch we ve had. This Michelin starred restaurant is amazing. Food was simply perfection the staff knowledgeable, friendly and always ready to help. They created a memorable experience, and we look forward to more visits at the Restaurant Twenty Two!

Best restaurant experience in Cambridge. Cant be described with words. Just go there and experience it first hand.

The meal was wonderful. I don t have any complaints. I had just to be grateful with them, and I recommend you to feel the experience as well.

We had a wonderful dinner with beautiful, rich tastes and colorful dishes. Very nice.

Has become a regular of ours for special occasions. The food today though was especially delicious. Every course on the lunch short tasting menu was splendid. If I had to choose a favourite it would be the monkfish, followed by the lamb, foie gras and bread course. But every course was amazing. Perfect place to spend my 30th with my family :) THANK YOU RESTAURANT 22!

A truly amazing tasting experience. Great, well-informed and friendly staff and, of course, incredible food.

Absolutely amazing experience. The food was full on delicious, couldn t fault a thing. All of the staff went above and beyond for myself and my partner. Thank you very much for making our experience lovely and making it so personalised.

Simply the best restaurant in Cambridge. Amazing food, excellent staff and a great ambiance.

Knowledgeable staff, faultless service, beautiful food. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Food is amazing

Extremely tasty, casual and friendly service, but quite expensive.

Amazing food and experience. Best meal I have had and the staff are amazing.

Five stars not enough. This is the best fine-dining restaurant in Cambridge ... without any intimidating service or crazily priced winelist ... fascinating, inventive and delicious food, lovely friendly staff. Ok ... just been back again ... I didnt think it was possible to top the review above ... but we just visited again ... now they have their Michelin ... very well deserved ... it hasnt gone to their heads.... the price is unchanged ... and the food is even better, so inventive, and Thursday lunch is an amazing bargain!

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 Ill be dreaming about for the foreseeable future. Its worth mentioning the dinner ends on a high note with a dessert that didnt live in the shadow of a perfectly crafted savory selection (Ill admit I get really excited about desserts!!) Truly worth a try (and a second one, and a third one, and I guess Ill just have to be back to Cambridge every once in a while just to see what Twenty Two is up to)

Fantastic lunch with the family. Had the short tasting menu and the matched wine flight. Fabulous good and service. If you want to push the boat out for a special occasion then I thoroughly recommend.

Ive been here twice now and have had a wonderful experience both times. They are very happy to accommodate my pescatarian diet, and I love that they offer a non alcoholic paired drinks menu when we were there once for a lunch booking when we had to pick up our kid from school immediately after. They have also been incredibly lovely recently at accommodating a late change with our booking which I appreciate greatly. Their Michelin star is very well deserved, and Im glad I can have the smug satisfaction of knowing they were amazing even before that award had been bestowed.

Excellent, as always.

Lovely place food was breath taking

Very tasty lunch with the tasting menu. Enjoyed every dish with several being hard to choose between which was the most enjoyed.

Great place. Lovely service.

Absolutely 5 star, I would give 6 stars if I could based purely on the service alone. Booked in for my Girlfriends 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. Thats 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 didnt 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.

Absolutely incredible.

This is a very special place. We have eaten here 3 times over a few years and it just continues to improve. The food is absolutely incredible- such thought and attention to detail and flavours. The staff are also excellent. Friendly and welcoming without an ounce of pretentiousness. I ve never been to a place the serves food this good in such a nice atmosphere (including some 3* places) The team work so hard and I wish Alex & Sam every success for the future.

Fabulous food, very attentive staff, lovely atmosphere!

Amazing meal- incredible food and perfect setting.

Fantastic. Our first visit in a few years and definitely didnt disappoint. Food was excellent without being over-fussy. Wine flight was well-matched but still took in some gems you wouldnt have picked off the list. The soft drink flight is a great idea but was the one slight sub-par element as several.of the choices were love/loathe.

Expensive but amazing quality and variety

A very relaxing atmosphere excellent staff recommend the taster menu. Food is of the highest standard.

Simply sublime.. great service, great ambience and amazing food. For me .. the best in Cambridge !!!

Lovely food, very attentive staff. Highly recommend!!!

I took my fiancé to R22 for his birthday lunch. We had the vegetarian tasting menu which he paired with soft drinks and I paired the the wine. This was a great idea, as there were quite a few courses and quite a bit of wine. The soft drinks were also well paired for the meal with interesting flavours. The whole experience took around three hours. The staff were friendly and attentive and explained each dish. Each dish was presented beautiful and was delicious. If you are prepared to spend the ££££, R22 is highly recommended.

Lovely tasting menu and great service. Great dishes except for asparagus. Very intense, concentrated flavours.

Amazing food, every mouthful was a delight. Fabulous staff, very attentive and amiable. An incredible, relaxed dining experience.

Amazing, as always! Fabulous food, wine and service.

Amazing food, not cheap but well worth it!

Absolutely outstanding. I knew of this restaurant years ago under the previous owners when I couldnt belie how good the food was for the price. The new owners have taken this to the next level though. The menu was delightful, the cooking sublime and the service excellent. Particular highlights were all of the amuse bouche, which were fantastic and the wine pairing with information from the sommelier for each glass. The decore is minimalist but comfortable and the atmosphere incredibly intimate. It cant be long until this place earns its first michelin star. Having been to midsummer house just across the river a number of times, theres really very little separating the two

This was our first tasting menu experience. The setting itself, the restaurant looks nicer from outside than inside, the tables for 2 are too small, once they put your drinks printed menus, food etc its awfully crowded. The food itself was good... I cant say I had one course that was mind blowing and there were a couple which were sub par. Based on just this I probably would have given it a 4 out of 5 stars however the main reason we felt it was a bad experience is it is just far too overpriced. The experience doesnt match the price tag, what also was a big shock was we had one regular tasting menu (£75) and one vegetarian one which cost £95! £20 extra which substituted fish and muscles for half a carrot (not exaggerating) and lamb 3 ways for I think celeriac or fennel but again much smaller portions. Weirdly the dessert was a fairly big fish in comparison but we did leave hungry which surprised me. It could be that tasting menus arent for us but I dont think thats the issue, the dishes just werent either enough, not the wow factor or the meat/main ingredient just wasnt that good. Sadly for the price of a lunch tasting menu Id probably recommend, paying for a train to London and finding a better experience for the same price travel included. Apart from the lingering waiting staff everyone was very polite and service was delivered well. I just think the price of £75 is probably just a little high and £95 is just taking the p****!

A lovely experience. Exquisite food and charming service. A very special treat.

Absolutely amazing. £90 tasting menu plus wine is clearly not a cheap night out but if you love your food worth every penny. Staff were attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Showcase of the best of locally sourced food. Worst aspect is actually getting a reservation due to the intimate venue size! Will be going again

A wonderful lunchtime taster meal , which we thoroughly enjoyed. I particularly enjoyed the lamb course.

Excellent. Superb. Delicious. Not a lot more to stay except lovely staff too!!!

Unbelievable, one of the best meals Ive ever had. Myself and my partner really loved the experience

Great food and a relaxed atmosphere. Service spot on too. This was our first visit but wont be our last.

Great, innovative food. Nice staff. We recommend it highly

Very good, tastes are perfect

We had the lunch menu before COVID, in mid-2019. They had a very limited range of options on its (seasonal) menu, but the food was excellent. We had to book reservations way in advance. It was around 35 pounds for a 3-course meal, but prices have now increased to 55 pounds

Went today to have the lunch menu in a party of four. The food was absolutely delicious and the service very professional and friendly. Im still thinking about the food we got there!

A lovely experience last month. The owners really care about your experience and it shows. Beautiful food, what a gift for Cambridge to have such a place. Wishing you continued success!

Amazing experience, when will they get there Michelin star, thats the question

Impeccable

Tasty and creative tasting menu. Best restaurant in Cambridge. Worth a visit.

Beautifully presented, exquisitely tasteful food, each course artfully accompanied with wine. Even the short tasting menu left us full. The staff were attentive, friendly and added some personal touches for this birthday outing.

Absolutely fantastic little restaurant and for sure will book again if they will have us! We thoroughly enjoyed the tasting menu and all the team were brilliant. Thank you very much indeed:-)

Excellent food, excellent staff. Thank you for a great experience

Fantastic lunch experience, the food was outstanding, great service and an excellent sommelier. If you are in Cambridge this is a must and you wont be disappointed. The future for this team is very bright indeed.

Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Food, drinks and service all sublime Vegetarian options: Due to being pregnant had some vegetarian alternatives and these were real courses/ elements not just removals or after thoughts Dietary restrictions: Due to being pregnant had to have alternatives and these were real courses/ elements not just removals or after thoughts. Very well catered for

An amazing tasting menu and wine flight, one of our loveliest dining experiences ever. All staff were excellent, thank you for making our anniversary so special.

A really special tasting menu - every course had a story and was so fresh and interesting Amazing service!

Very, very good.

Had a lovely meal at this restaurant we enjoyed the 7 course taster menu the staff where helpful and friendly.

Excellent food, the best in Cambridge in my opinion!! The attention to detail is exquisite!! We come here a few times a year and it never fails to impress us!! Staff are extremely friendly and genuinely attentive! Fine art on the plate!!

Selfishly I don t want to share how good this place is, but against the mediocre backdrop of Cambridge establishments (The Graduate was emetic, Market Square was devoid of seasoning and The Ivy was journeyman-esque) we arrive at real talent with 22. Sauced, seasoned and earthen-truffle-shroomed up the wazoo - Im deliriously happy. Happy as a palate can be. Excellent staff, lunchtime light and layered boldly earthy truffle flown cheffery. £55 for this lunch - count me in - wines and peripheral dishes are exquisite. Stay away though so i can book again.

Had a good time. Food was of good quality and pretty inventive.

Delicious tasting menu, great service and attention to detail the atmosphere wasnt pretentious and felt intimate and friendly. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others.

Our bouches were well and truly amused for a lockdown birthday dinner at home. Superb.

Just virtually shared their take away box with the family. Totally excellent, such delicious flavours and such fun, fantastic.

We shared a takeaway box to celebrate my birthday. The food was ,as ever ,outstanding . Every single thing we had was delicious . Everything was explained well so that it was easy to follow.

What a great place for our first restaurant visit after lockdown! The staff were friendly, professional and handled the covid restrictions with aplomb. The food was delicious, and our friend had a fantastic birthday.

The most fabulous meal with wonderful service. Wonderful to be back.

Completely delicious.

Excellent food, good wine pairings, immaculate service and a very reasonable price for the quality of the whole evening. Highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Reasonably priced for the quality that you get. We had the private room upstairs and the servers were brilliant, not intrusive but there when you needed them. Their knowledge of the dishes was superb. The chef needs to go on great British menu, they would knock spots off of the other contestants. I cant wait to go back.

Lovely food, great atmosphere

What a gem! We had an absolutely outstanding tasting menu experience, with not a single item disappointing in the slightest. The food is meticulously presented, tastes are composed to perfection, and you get to savour a variety of dishes which come together to form a coherent, satisfying whole meal. I love the concept of a pre-dessert too :-) Completely on par with some Michelin places we visited before. Plan ahead about 3 months to eat here, but it is soooo worth booking ahead!

Fantastic service! Wine flight to go with tasting menu perfectly complemented the food.

Amazing. We sat down for 3½ hours on the taster menu and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The staff are super professional, very friendly, highly knowledgeable, and the food is mindblowingly tasty. This place is in a class of its own.

AMAZING! Wonderful food in a relaxing and friendly environment, with attentive and very knowledgeable staff. A real treat and well definitely recommend and revisit. Thank youo

First time at Restaurant Twenty Two. Its my new favourite place to eat to eat in Cambridge! Absolutely delicious.

We went to this gorgeous restaurant for my birthday. Absolutely loved it. The staff, the service, the food. All incredible. Thank you for the most delicious meal and wine.

Amazing food for a special occasion. Well worth the visit. Will make sure we come back soon!

Amazing food and fantastic service. Highly recommended

Wonderful food and wine. Great way to celebrate a wedding anniversary.

Outstanding food and great service. A real gem to be cherished and enjoyed as often as possible.

Absolutely wonderful! Very attentive staff, plus the superb food and wine we always expect from the team at 22.

Wonderful food and fantastic service. A great way to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Cant wait to go back.

We visited Twenty Two for a special birthday and had an amazing evening. The restaurant is beautifully furnished and lit, providing great ambience with very well spaced out tables for social distancing. The service and food were outstanding. We went for the 7 course meal with wine pairing and it was all top quality. We had the excitement of 3 different beautiful canapes, followed by breads and then an amuse-bouche before we even arrived at the starter. The courses were a triumph of planning as well as execution. I heartily recommend this restaurant.

Simply brilliant

Friends took us here for lunch. We had the full taster menu. The food and service were both amazing. An incredibly enjoyable experience.

Beautifully presented, delicoius tasting menu. Very good value and excellent setting.

I ve been here more than 5 times and I love it everytime! My favourite restaurant in Cambridge!

Excellent on every level. Everything cooked to perfection with very distinct and balanced flavours. We went for the wine flight which were all well considered. Service was informed and engaged. What a treat.

We really enjoyed the lunchtime full tasting menu at Restaurant 22. Everything we ate was delicious, many different tastes, textures & even temperature s of food in each mouthful. Each morsel was intricately presented & explained in detail by the helpful and attentive staff. I pictured a lot of things, but forgot some because I was so enticed by their appearance & description they got eaten before I remembered. They had even written a card for my mum, who s birthday we were celebrating, and brought out a little happy birthday treat with candle. A really memorable experience!

R22 is the best fine-dining experience in Cambridge. Forget the overpriced Midsummer House. The quality of the food is outstanding, the staff are just lovely.

Lovely food, great balance of flair and extravagance but without forgetting the fundamentals of great tasting food and service

The best experience ever. Took my mum here for a birthday surprise and the food, service, staff and atmosphere was amazing. It was such a special treat and I couldnt fault a single thing.

It is too difficult to find the superlatives needed to convey the experience that is Restaurant 22. The attention to detail, the expertise of the staff the cosy yet sophisticated ambience and above all the food which is in a class of its own. Make a booking and have the experience I promise it is one you will never forget.

Amazing. Incredible tasting menu, brilliant and knowledgeable staff, wonderful atmosphere. Non-alcoholic flight of drinks was great - never seen that on a tasting menu before and the thought which had gone into it was superb. The flight of wines looked pretty good too - the rest of our party loved it. If I could, Id eat here all the time.

Exceptional stuff

The most incredible meal I have ever had! SERIOUSLY! I dont even know where to start to describe it. From the first bite to the last each and every dish was bursting with harmonious flavour. I ate ingredients that I would normally despise and even heard a grown man from another table ask for alterations because he didnt like certain ingredients.. he truly missed out! The service is 5 star, all staff were amazing and super helpful. Whatever the occasion, book the dam table and eat here because there is no way you will regret it.

Excellent tasting menu, and not prohibitively expensive. Worth doing their wine pairing!

Brilliant food and service. Very enjoyable tasting menu with a great wine flight to match, very knowledgeable and friendly staff. We shall definitely return

Excellent food and service in a cosy setting. Veggie options in the set menu. Best meal weve had in the city. Dec 2021 Update: Food is better than ever. They have had their heads down during lockdown!

Excellent food, drinks, service, ambiance

An experience you dont want to miss out on.
