Frommer's Review
The biggest culinary news in Oxford is the return of Raymond Blanc with another Le Petit Blanc. (A previous one proved disappointing.) Monsieur Blanc is a wiser restaurateur now, and this buzzing brasserie is doing just fine. A former piano shop has been converted into a stylish place offering a menu that promises something for every palate. Here you can get a taste of the famous chef's creations without the high prices of his famed Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons. The menu is more straightforward here, with a large emphasis on fresh ingredients. The food is based on authentic provincial French cuisine, complemented by Mediterranean and Asian accents. Enticing you will be an appetizer such as a Roquefort soufflé with a pear and walnut salad, followed by Loch Duart salmon and fish cakes. The desserts are first rate, especially the raspberry soufflé.
