Part of a popular nationwide chain, this Oxford branch of Brasserie Chez Gérard has a chic, informal ambience perfectly suited to its diverse menu of French brasserie dishes. Classics such as steaks-frites and bouef bourgignon are served alongside Morrocan tagines and Cajun chicken burgers that showcase the Gallic contribution to cooking around the globe. All-day dining means daytime menus and activity packs for children, with a more grown-up atmosphere in the evening.
