A Chesterton Road fine-dining favourite for four decades, Restaurant Twenty-Two was given the new lease of life it so badly needed in the spring of last year, when new owners Alexandra Olivier and Sam Carter took the reins. Interiors refreshed and menu completely transformed, the revamped eatery immediately won the hearts of both Cambridge foodies and journalists from the national press. And why are so many beating a path to this Chesterton Road town house’s front door? First, the food is nothing short of exquisite: artfully presented plates of dazzlingly clever cooking using top-quality ingredients, all of which are carefully described by the pitch-perfect waiting staff. Second, for the calibre of what’s on offer, it’s a bargain, with a five-course tasting menu priced at £50. And finally, its friendly, accessible atmosphere belies the genius behind the hobs, offering a fantastic fine-dining experience with none of the snootiness that tends to come part and parcel. Restaurant Twenty-Two, we salute you. RESTAURANT TWENTY- TWO
