Best Dinner Places to Eat in Galloway

"In the heart of north Oxford, this elegant Victorian conservatory houses local hotelier and restaurateur Jeremy Mogford’s most upmarket establishment. It’s usually packed every lunchtime and evening with a mixture of students and their parents celebrating or commiserating exam results, well-heeled residents of the million-pound mansions nearb,y and curious gourmands attracted by the Mediterranean-influenced menu, which includes wood-fired guinea fowl, nettle and wild garlic risotto and the most comprehensive paella imaginable."

"Address: Gee’s Restaurant & Bar, 61A Banbury Rd, Park Town, Oxford OX2 6PE. Gee’s Restaurant is set in a unique Victorian Glasshouse that serves a rustic Mediterranean dining experience to locals and tourists. This famous Grade II listed Victorian conservatory was initially designed in 1898 as a greengrocer and florist, but it now houses one of Oxford’s most renowned neighbourhood restaurants."

"To get more of a neighbourhood feel, I’d recommend Gees where I had dinner when I visited. It’s a Mediterranean style restaurant that’s in an old Victorian greenhouse, with excellent cocktails and food, although it’s a 20 minute walk from the heart of Oxford, so you may prefer to get a taxi."

"But it's a very tasty leek and potato, the real artisan bread (50p) lives up to the billing, and, I suppose, local, organic ingredients – vegetables from nearby Worton Organic Garden – don't come cheap. Elsewhere on the enticing menu, notable for its excellent veggie options, you'll find dishes such as spiced chickpea tagine with roasted butternut squash, green olives and rosemary; puy lentil and goat's cheese gratin, with marinaded aubergine and roasted red peppers; or organic beef lasagne (mains served with salad, brown rice, potatoes etc.) The location also plays a big part in the Vaults' popularity. It's housed in a 14th-century hall, the "congregation house", built as Oxford University's original administrative centre, within the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, while the gardens – actually the graveyard – look out on to the famous circular Radcliffe Camera library and several university colleges."

"Set in the very heart of Oxford, the University Church of St Mary the Virgin is home to the Vaults & Garden café. The surrounding landscape features the University Church gardens, the Radcliffe Camera (an 18th Century building designed to host the science library) and Brasenose College. The café has a focus on fresh, organic food and the promotion of healthy living and sustainability."

"Hotel phone: +44 1865 310 210 Fantastic boutique hotel housed in an updated centuries-old storybook cottage that elegantly fuses history with modern comforts. Rooms are comfortable and spacious, and feature handmade beds, striking artwork, marble bathrooms, tea/coffee making facilities, Bluetooth radios, and Noble Isle toiletries. Luxurious amenities include an inviting summer garden, excellent restaurant, library, complimentary use of bicycles, complimentary parking, fresh flowers, and concierge service – all this, right in the city center."

"The Old Parsonage Hotel and its restaurant are a somewhat swankier affair entirely. It’s where the socialites of Oxford hang out in town before drinking Zombies at Lola Lo. The restaurant is less formal than its sister outfit Quod, though, and focuses on afternoon teas and all-day dining."

"Old Parsonage Hotel – A 5-star luxury boutique hotel set in a historical 17th century house, offering a garden library, bar, and restaurant. It is located within a short walk of the city center."

"This is one of my all-time favourite restaurants in Oxford with outside seating. It’s located on the top floor of the Ashmolean Museum with lots of natural light and better yet, a roof terrace for outdoor drinks in Oxford. I’ve listed this as an outdoor Oxford restaurant but it’s also ideal for cocktails with lovely views."

"The Ashmolean Rooftop Restaurant is located on the top floor of the Ashmolean Museum so during the day when the Museum is open, access to the restaurant is via the Museum's main..."

"A stone’s throw from Oxford’s main shopping streets, St Aldates is a busy city centre pub that, with its generic, faux-Victorian looks and terrible music, does little to endear itself. Its beer selection, however, saves the day. Its six cask pumps mix traditional bitters with snazzy, new-wave beers from, on this visit, Brightside and Dark Star."

"If you are looking for a fast stopover while in the Oxford city centre, then St Aldates tavern is a great place to visit. It features six pumps and kegs as well. Most of the beers are locally brewed."

"Famous for its intimate, bohemian, clubby atmosphere, and beautiful outdoor dining area, the Parsonage Grill displays an amazing collection of eclectic oil paintings; mainly portraits of well-known writers and artists.Our Head Chef, Allan McLaughlin, takes pride in using the best produce, cooked..."

"Parsonage Grill, famous for its intimate, bohemian, clubby atmosphere, displays an amazing collection of eclectic oil paintings; mainly portraits of well-known writers and artists. Their state of the art kitchen uses the best local produce to create classic, simple yet innovate British dishes."

"For a taste of old-Oxford formality with the feel of a gentlemen’s club, dine amid this hotel restaurant’s dark-wood panelling and original paintings. Its all-day menu features standards like lamb rump or sea... French in Jericho & Science Area"

"The City Arms believe that brunch is the most important meal of the day, which is why their bottomless brunch offer starts at just £20 per person, which is pretty banging if you ask me. It’s also available every single day of the week, which is what we love to see really, isn’t it?. For £20 per person, you get ninety minutes of bottomless draught beers, prosecco or G&Ts as well as a brunch dish, with their brunch menu ranging from full English breakfasts to pancakes to chicken or cauli wings."

"The City Arms is owned by the huge Stonegate pub company (the people behind the Slug and Lettuce chain), and it very much looks and feels – overly bright lighting, lots of jazzy tiles and busy fabrics, TVs and fruit machines – like a generic, 21st-century high-street pub. But despite its unlovely design, the City Arms has an unusually good beer selection. Its five keg taps regularly feature Brewdog beers rarely seen on-draught outside the brewer’s own bars."

"If you are looking for a modern pub experience, then City Arms is a great choice. It has bright lights, TVs, exquisite fabrics as well as fruit machines. Its design is just the tip of the iceberg; it also features a great beer collection as well as five keg lines."

"One stands out from the crowd though, Edamame, an authentic, small, family run place on an Oxford back street, worth a stop if you are in Oxford but make sure you check the opening times first, they are changeable.."

"Oxford Playhouse sits opposite the Ashmolean Museum and plays host to some excellent acting talent. You’ll be able to see top-notch drama, akin to that found in London, but at reduced Oxford prices. There’s a huge array of performances here from drama to musicals to comedy to dance – you name it!"

"If you intend to see a show or performance while in town, you should check the listings at the individual theaters (such as the Oxford Playhouse and the Old Fire Station) and buy your tickets in advance. Explore Oxford’s Gardens & Parks"
