Midsummer House is a restaurant in Cambridge, which is widely considered to be one of the best English restaurants outside London. Clarice and I went on Saturday for lunch, and had their 3 courses for 55 pounds deal.

It was wonderful! Great service, delicious, inventive food. It's definitely the most "cheffy" and experimental restaurant I've ever been to. (And here, that's a good thing!) Foam, for instance, is not something that I've tried before. And I loved the way that the champagne and grapefruit foam was dispensed from an awesome contraption that looked like an old-school perfume bottle.

Here are the photos...
