Best Lunch Restaurants in Galloway

"Dining Hall at New College Oxford which inspired the Harry Potter movie If you prefer to explore on your own, you can also visit some of the Oxford Colleges individually and at your own pace. Among the most popular are Magdalen or Christ Church, with its impressive quad and chapel, which is the most expensive to visit at £7-9 so you may want to visit later for Choral Evensong which will give you free entrance. Most of the other colleges such as Balliol, New College, Brasnose, Trinity, Merton or Oriel only cost around £2 and this may include a leaflet or plan of the college, while others are free to visit, so it’s worth venturing inside and enquiring at the porter’s lodge."

"This long-standing local favourite – upstairs from Makan La on St Michael's Street – is a simple, cafeteria-style eaterie offering reliably good homemade pates, quiches, curries, casseroles and lasagnes, most of them served with a choice of three salads from a vibrant selection. There is always a good choice of vegetarian dishes available (such as sweet pepper and lentil lasagne, or mushroom and butter bean stroganoff), although it was a sampler of tasty, generously filled salmon and watercress quiche that secured Nosebag's place in this top 10. The dishes on the evening menu are a little more sophisticated and slightly more expensive (mains up to £11)."

"Although The Nosebag caters for all dietary tastes, it has a strong reputation for its inventive and tasty vegetarian and vegan offerings. Using local suppliers and offering a seasonally changing menu, including things like lentil and sweet pepper lasagne, and carrot and pecan pastilla, The Nosebag sells quality home cooked food at great prices – which explains why it’s still a much-loved part of Oxford’s foodie landscape after opening back in 1971!. https://www.instagram.com/p/BT_2JsagWQ6/?"

"Gail’s Bakery is a London-based artisan bakery that specializes in serving breakfast foods, breads, cakes, pastries, and of course tea and coffee. I have lots of friends who absolutely adore Gail’s (although personally I find it usually is a little overpriced for the offerings). But like I said, my friends absolutely love it especially for a treat for brunch on a weekend…and it is always packed full of people!"

"From Einstein’s chalkboard to ancient sundials, science lovers will absolutely fall head over heels for the amazing collections at the Museum of the History of Science. This is actually the world’s purpose-built museum, and the building itself is known as the Old Ashmolean Building to help differentiate it from the Ashmolean. I’m not even a science lover, and I found so many wonderful things here that kept my interest and made me feel like perhaps I, too, with absolutely no math skills, could be a scientist."

"Students of science will swoon at this fascinating museum, stuffed to the ceilings with awesome astrolabes, astonishing orreries and early electrical apparatus. Housed in the lovely 17th-century building that... College in City Centre"

"The Heath Robinson Museum is a biographical museum dedicated to the life and art of its namesake. The museum displays memorabilia, artwork, and objects from the life of Heath Robinson, as well as hosts exhibitions and events that support Robinson's life mission and vision. Admission to the museum is free."

Along with its many big-brand shops and department stores, it's also home to the historic Golden Cross arcade, popular for its craft and jewelry shops, and the Covered Market. Dating from 1774, the market houses an eclectic mix of food retailers."
