Restaurant 66a Restaurant 66a in Oxford’s Cotswold Lodge Hotel is a prime example of getting it right. The elegant, modern dining room is gracefully fitted into a lovely Georgian building, retaining the authentic fireplace, high ceilings and bay windows, and adding smart wood and brass fittings, luxe carpeting and upholstery and pools of light. The chef employs the freshest seasonal ingredients - some from the owner’s farm - in a menu of modern English and Mediterranean cuisine. In summer, the garden courtyard is the most romantic spot in town for candlit suppers. 66a is ten minutes from town but a world away.

The High Table Bar and Brasserie What would you expect a restaurant that prides itself on its home made hollandaise sauce, its organic cod with mussel, saffron and cream sauce and foie gras with chicken liver pate to look like? Probably identical to how the restaurant in question does. Ever since the High Table’s owners transformed it in to an up market, bright, spacious feeling restaurant its reputation as a fine place to eat, drink and indulge in thoughtful conversation has been established, furthered by a splendid a la carte wine list and the food of head chef Christopher Bentham, who was trained by and worked for Raymond Blanc. According to reports, he paid particular attention to the Blanc classic of soft centred chocolate fondant with a crunchy coffee ice cream.

The Oxford Retreat The Oxford Retreat is as cosy and sophisticated as it sounds. Much of the building’s original character remains in the painted wooden space; cocktail bar one side, atmospheric open kitchen and restaurant the other. The best of the seasonal, well-priced Modern European menu is generally the rustic dishes like home-marinated rack of ribs slowly cooked until tender served on top of old-fashioned homemade chips; chunky fish pie; bangers and bubble and squeak. Desserts, risottos, pasta and vegetarian dishes are written up on a specials board. Very friendly staff. Cuisine: Modern European Location: 1 - 2 Hythe Bridge Street, Oxford, OX1 2EW [Map]
