Gilbey’s

Windsor & Eton


This bistro-restaurant, not far from the river, is Eton’s best dining option. Terracotta tiling, deep-green decor and a sunny courtyard lend the feel of a European cafe, while two-/three-course set menus for both lunch (£15/20) and dinner (£22.50/28.50; not available after 6.45pm Friday and Saturday) offer Modern British favourites including pies and artisan cheeses plus good vegetarian alternatives.
