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.

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!

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.

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.

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! 💙

Best restaurant experience in Cambridge. Can't be described with words. Just go there and experience it first hand.

I've 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 I'm glad I can have the smug satisfaction of knowing they were amazing even before that award had been bestowed.

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)

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 Cambridgeshire's 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.

Had lunch here yesterday with a group of friends in the private dining room and it was just beautiful. The five course tasting menu and wine flight were amazing and such great value for money. The staff were all so friendly and informative. We didn’t want to leave! Can’t recommend this place enough!

The food and the waiting staff were brilliant.....the manager unfortunately let the place down! His attitude I found to be very off hand choosing which tables to interact with and which not to. There was a table of 6 and 1 gentlemen at the end ordered coffee,every other table had been given shortbread and a chocolate truffle at the end of their meal regardless if they'd ordered coffee or not. However under the managers instruction the waiting staff were told not to bother giving it to this particular gentleman....why?! I don't know,my understanding as a paying customer he would be entitled to it! Shame the manager of an establishment like this let the place down as much as he did! Full credit to the 2 younger waiting staff.

Wonderful meal at Restaurant22. The food, wine, and service were all fantastic. We had the 7 course taster menu and would highly recommend it.
Emma Wragg
Fantastic addition to the Cambridge food scene - every time I've been (lunch and dinner) the service has been exceptional and the food exquisite. Can not recommend highly enough, would give it 10 stars if I could.
Matthew Johnson
Excellent food for our anniversary lunch, loved the tasting menu. Good variety, beautiful presentation and a delicious combination of tastes. The wine pairing was spot on as well, and service was well-timed. A great meal.
Julia McKinney
I dined here last night with 6 friends and had the BEST time � We had the private dining room which was luxurious and intimate. We all went for the 7 course taster menu - what an amazing experience! Each course was beautifully presented and tasted divine. Alex and Sam are a fabulous team and their staff were delightful... special thanks to our wonderful waitress Mel, and chefs Andrew and Lee. Can’t wait until our next visit �
Ruth Hinson

Inspirational food, knowledgeable and attentive staff, every little detail taken care of to ensure the perfect culinary experience. If you are in Cambridge take the opportunity to enjoy this little gem.
Melanie Varey
Fabulous food and excellent service! The tasting menu is excellent value for money and reasonably priced enough for us to enjoy more regularly- so we will most definitely be back !! �
Suzy Richards
Am-a-zing. Our only complaint was that the plates were too loud to scrape every last morsel off (and licking them didn't seem appropriate �). Best of luck to you guys, you deserve huge success

Have just been for my fathers 70th and had an amazing night. July menu is fresh, vibrant and one of the best nights cuisine I have experienced. Service was amazing and couldn't have wished for a better meal. I highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic meal tonight! This is from a VERY fussy diner. Well done! Such a hidden gem of a restaurant.
