Ashmolean Rooftop Restaurant

Run by the Benugo chain, the Ashmolean’s light-filled rooftop restaurant serves meticulous modern dishes such as black squid crusted cod or mustard-marinated lamb, with the two-/three-course lunch menu (£18/23), themed around a current exhibition, available until 7.30pm. Or come to enjoy afternoon tea on the outdoor terrace (£26 for two), savouring the views from a deckchair on the fake-grass ‘lawn’.
