Number 22

This is a great little local restaurant with an extensive wine list, knowledgeable and friendly staff and excellent food made with top quality ingredients. I very much enjoyed the aged Zamorano cheese and the chorizo and squash was so tasty I needed to ask for more bread so as not to let the delicious sauce go to waste.

You can taste the care that has gone in to source these ingredients and presentation. Number22 is a labour of love for proprietor chris Adnitt, who is happy to advise anyone who is less familiar with the more traditional and specialist tapas on offer here. The food is delicious and demands a revisit to try all the things you didn't on the first visit

This is a lovely local restaurant, which I am lucky to have nearby. The chicken and chorizo paella is to die for, and the selection of sherries and wines have been well thought out. However the reason I always return is the relaxed cosy atmosphere and the friendly staff. It's a real gem of a restaurant which I hope will remain in the heart of Herne Hill for a very long time to come.

Number 22 is an intimate local gem in Herne Hill - where it's very easy to while away a lovely evening nibbling on delicious tapas, or a whole lazy Sunday afternoon when they serve up beautiful, tasty paella which is the best I've had outside of Spain. At it's best when it can be eaten al fresco in the enchanting patio garden out the back. Last visit we started our night with martinis at the bar - the cocktail list is extensive and they're lovingly crafted to perfection. We shared tapas - succulent, salty Padron Peppers, warm and wintery Chorizo and Canellinni beans, Spanish Charcuterie - all washed down with a perfect red wine recommended by the friendly, passionate staff. We'll be back soon for more ... I

The fire is glowing, the candles twinkling; I have a glass of rich rioja in my hand and a veritable banquet of unusual and appetising Spanish food in front of me....must be No 22! Thi splace never disappoints. The menu (constantly creative) offers a great range to suit all tastes and pockets, and the wine list must surely be one of the most extensive yet reasonably priced I have ever seen. Opted for the chicken and chorizo paella last night, preceded by a plate of pinxos, followed by a plate of delicious chees to share. My friends had a whole range of delights; cuttlefish, lamb cutlets, partridge....all, without exception, delicious. Just wish I lived closer...

The renaissance in Brixton's dining options means Number 22 has more competition for our attention than it once did. But on the strength of last week's visit we'll certainly be heading towards Herne Hill for a long time yet. It's a simple recipe: relaxed atmosphere, friendly but efficient service plus great food and drinks. Favourites on Thursday were king fish with celeriac, caramelised onions and pine nuts and the iberico pork cheek in red wine.

Outstanding food that always seems to amaze. The staff could not be more hospitable and are always willing to make recommendations. I really enjoy their choices of wines and offer different selections each week. I would highly recommend visiting 22 for a great evening out with that special someone, or with a group of people.

Thoroughly enjoyable meal with great, knowledgeable service, fantastic wine and outstanding food - was a really seasonal menu with a beautifully moist partridge dish and the Iberico pork loin was to die for!

My favourite place in London!

Have never been disappointed in this lovely little place. They always have a range of imaginative dishes and an impressive wine list. There's a real sense that both owner/staff know exactly what they are about. One of my favourites.
