Daffodil

Oxford & the Cotswolds


This breathtaking brasserie conjures its retro setting, in a 1920s cinema, into fabulous art deco glamour, with a delightful daffodil theme from its tiled floor to the plaster cornicing. Charcoal-grilled offerings range from halloumi or lobster to calves' liver and, especially, steaks, but it also has veggie options such as aubergine, coconut and lemongrass curry and open goat's-cheese ravioli.
