Restaurant 22

I'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 :)
