Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Gibraltar

"Housed in a 19th century glass conservatory originally owned by the Gee family, Gee’s is arguably the best venue in the Old Bank family of restaurants. The conservatory was originally used as a type of garden centre for the Gees’ nurseries, and the restaurant upholds that heritage with their emphasis on fresh, high-quality cuisine, changing with the seasons. Food is often sourced from the rich farmland around Oxford, with meat from Rofford farm having become a fixture on the menu."

"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."

"61 Banbury Road � Show on map Modern British£ 35 avg. An Oxford institution about ten minutes from the city centre, Gee's is famous for its capacious Victorian conservatory � a dramatic light-filled space full of trees and plants..."

"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."

"I also loved passing the Bridge of Sighs and the 17th Century Sheldonian Theatre, designed by Sir Christopher Wren – a former student at the university. While I didn’t explore inside any of the universities on this visit, many are open to the public. For a small fee (between £2 and £7) you can wander the grounds and explore some of the most ancient colleges and beautiful chapels."

"Edamame is a small, family run eatery that serves truly authentic and freshly prepared Japanese home-cooking in an informal and inviting setting. They operate three different menus that follow a weekly schedule so their food and its preparation can be as fresh as possible. During 20 years of operation Edamame has received numerous local, national and international commendations."

"This tiny space can get queued out at dinner time, so make sure to arrive early to secure a table. Once you're settled, you'll be well rewarded with authentic Japanese plates. The famous octopus balls are topped generously with sauce, seaweed powder and fish flakes, while the edamame beans with a home-made chilli sauce aren't to be missed."

"Peter and Mieko Galpin's buzzy cafe-restaurant is actually shut now until 28 September. Put the date in your diary. Authentic Japanese home-cooking is the deal, here, and Edamame's competitively priced ramens, stir-frys and noodle dishes have made it a firm favourite with local foodies, Japanese students and many national guides."

"Located in the pretty suburb of Summertown, Pompette – the French word for tipsy – serves up a European-inspired menu, with nods to head chef Pascal Wiedemann’s French roots. Enjoy cured meats sand cheese paired with a selection of European wines at the charcuterie wine bar, or opt for a more formal dinner in the dining room. Pascal’s maximum favour, minimum waste ethos is reflected throughout the menu, with current dishes on the menu including Montbéliard sausage with puy lentils and Dijon mustard; salmon with creamed coco beans and brown shrimps; and St Austell mussels with nduja, white wine, cream and parsley."

"Chef Pascal Wiedemann worked at London institutions Racine and Terroirs before deciding to head to the north Oxford suburb of Summertown with his wife to open a restaurant inspired by French provincial cooking. Arguably the most successful mid-price place currently functioning in the city, it serves up an array of charcuterie, along with mouthwateringly accomplished fish soup and lamb chops. A prix fixe menu at lunchtime brings in a crowd who otherwise might pass this fine place by."

"7 South Parade � Show on map French (Bistro)£ 43 avg. Pompette meaning tipsy in French is proving to be a resounding local success story, located on South Parade in the pretty north Oxford suburb of Summertown..."

"Brasserie Blanc is a simple French restaurant on Walton Street. The food served are made from natural and fresh ingredients as their aim is to provide lovingly prepared food. Dining here is a pleasure to anyone's experience."

"Whatever the time of day, we have a dish to suit your mood; from steak frites and boeuf bourguignon to a selection of croques, baguettes and vegan options too – all on our menu of classic French food with a contemporary twist.” They offer breakfast and brunch dishes such as the Grande Breakfast (two free-range eggs, two Cumberland sausages, sweet cure bacon, beans, mushroom, tomato, black pudding, sautéed potatoes and sourdough toast), Pancakes (three warm pancakes topped with your choice of sweet cure bacon, banana and maple syrup, or fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and pineapple with fruit compot, and French Toast (two slices of sweet brioche bread topped with your choice of sweet cure bacon, banana and maple syrup, chocolate sauce, banana and hazelnuts or fresh seasonal fruit, honey and vanilla crème fraîche)."
