Square Meal review of Midsummer House: Midsummer House review

Daniel Clifford’s winning and bold interpretation of classic French cooking earned Cambridge its first Michelin star in 2002 and its second in 2005. Clifford has a keen eye for quality ingredients and a penchant for the science of cooking a la Heston Blumenthal. Much is made of unexpected contrasts, foams and jellies, evident in a langoustine starter that arrives speared on a plastic pipette of seafood sauce – the idea being to pop the langoustine in the mouth and immediately squeeze the sauce behind it. Mains, such as a pot-roast guinea fowl, creamed leeks and truffle crisps with foie gras Wellington, are impeccably executed, though one can encounter the odd overly ambitious dish. Braised monkfish, for instance, with a succession of textures and flavours including a cumin and parsnip risotto, parsnip puree, pastilla of oxtail and buttered spinach, could have done with being simpler. With wonderfully indulgent desserts - witness a superb pistachio souffle - and spot on service, it's no wonder readers consider this to be ‘just about perfect’.
