The Twenty Two

Appropriately opened in 2022, The Twenty Two is a sophisticated restaurant based at the hotel of the same name in Grosvenor Square. This smart place serves British cooking with a Mediterranean flourish. Whilst the food is thoroughly modern, the interior is timeless with walls painted in a tasteful duck egg blue, sumptuous carpets and seating, and refined framed artwork carefully lined up on the walls. Despite its impressive looks, the restaurant has a relaxed and cosy feel.

Food here is light and prepared with minimal intervention. The à la carte menu features diverse Med-inspired dishes to appeal to any taste. There are plenty of starters to choose from like carpaccio or Devonshire crab salad, as well as a choice of refreshing salads and pasta recipes. There are large dishes designed to share like truffle roast chicken plus mains like risotto, salmon fillet, and loin of lamb. On Sundays you can indulge in a traditional roast with a choice of three meats and a selection of bloody marys if you need a hangover cure.

For diners who aren't suffering with a hangover, the drinks options certainly aren't neglected at The Twenty Two. Cocktails are a speciality, with classic mixes on the list alongside original concoctions. Drinks are prepared mindfully using quality ingredients. If cocktails aren't your thing, you can instead go for fine wines to accompany a meal here. For sophisticated dining in smart and comfortable surroundings, The Twenty Two is an ideal pick in the heart of Mayfair.
