Dinner in the greenhouse

Gee's, Oxford

    A Victorian glasshouse which used to be a florist's, nursery shop and greengrocer's, Gee's is now a lovely modern restaurant which retains some of the style of its origins.

    Click here for more pictures (much better than mine), and here for the menu - I can recommend the coco beans with girolles and lemon zest, the pizza (as mentioned yesterday), and the goats' curd cheesecake with figs and honey.

 Not forgetting the flower pot chips!

Oh, Gee's! Goodness, it must be nearly twenty years since I ate there, but I recognised it immediately despite changes to decor. There were no flower pots in the 90s. I do remember the food being utterly delicious, though, and a huge treat for impoverished students: juicy roast beef and Yorkshire pud for Sunday lunch, and the most exquisite hand cut chips with sea salt...my mouth is literally (not in the new OED sense) watering at the thought...

It was lovely - so good we ate there twice in three days, including a birthday dinner!
