The Open Guide to Cambridge - Differences between Version 3 and Version 2 of Restaurant 22

This is one of the best restaurants in Cambridge. The food is gorgeous - give into temptation and order the fish course, and be prepared to abandon decorum and try one another's puddings; the bread that comes with the meals would by itself be worth writing home about.

The menu changes monthly, and uses seasonal British ingredients; the food is superbly made, interesting and not unnecessarily fussy, though some of the descriptions require a culinary dictionary: tians, salpicons, pithiviers, dartois and timbales all feature on the 2007 menus. There is usually only one vegetarian option for each course.

The restaurant has a Michelin 'Bib Gourmand', which means 'good cuisine at reasonable prices' and I think undersells it somewhat.

The advertised price is £26.50, plus £7 for an additional fish course and £7 more for an additional cheese course; without those additions it came to just under fifty pounds a head with wine the last time I was there, but was well worth it.

Note that the restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday
