The Twenty Two Restaurant occupies the elegant Mayfair hotel at 22 Grosvenor Square. Executive Chef Alan Christie gives modern British cooking a Mediterranean accent, favouring clear flavours and a lighter touch across the menu. The richly decorated dining room provides a sophisticated setting for lunch, dinner and Sunday roast while retaining the warmth of a neighbourhood restaurant.
The raw selection includes oysters with mignonette, sea bass crudo with citrus dressing, salmon tartare with beetroot and tuna otoro tartare with melba toast. Starters move through avocado and artichoke salads, burrata with tomatoes, grilled tiger prawns, baked scallop and Devonshire crab. These dishes use carefully judged acidity, herbs and olive oil to keep premium ingredients fresh and distinct.
Pasta choices include pasta al limone, cacio e pepe, slow cooked beef ragù with pappardelle, lobster paccheri and an indulgent caviar pasta. Main courses range from wild mushroom risotto and seared tuna with miso to Scottish salmon, lamb chops, Dover sole and fillet of beef. Larger tables can share truffle roast chicken, grilled sea bass, beef Wellington or aged wagyu ribeye.
Desserts continue the same polished approach through banana tarte Tatin, vanilla cheesecake, bread and butter pudding, crème brûlée and chocolate mousse for two. Sunday service adds a traditional roast menu, while an extensive wine list and both classic and original cocktails support the food throughout the week. Thoughtful service and a balance of familiar and luxurious dishes make the restaurant a natural fit for its Grosvenor Square setting.
