jackI'd always heard good things about Restaurant 22, but the couple of times I'd thought about going, the vegetarian option on that month's menu didn't look very attractive, so I put it off.
But last night I took Michelle there, and it was really awesome. It's fairly upmarket, but it feels friendly and intimate rather than ostentatiously swanky. The food was all really interesting -- almost every course I said "wow, I wouldn't have thought of that, but it sounds really nice". The vegetarian food was excitingly interesting, and all the different parts from main to side dishes, were really nice.
There's a set menu for each month, and it's the sort of place where you pay ~£30 for a whole meal of main+starter+appetiser+sorbet+desert+sweets (plus a few quid for side dishes), with no option to just have a main course. And it's the sort of place where it feels rude to not order drinks. But it's well worth it :)
