Brasserie Blanc - Oxford Description
One of the greatest pleasures in life for celebrity chef Raymond Blanc is sharing a good meal with family and friends. He achieves this through Brasserie Blanc, where his team take great joy in serving authentic French cuisine in a modern, brasserie atmosphere. All their dishes use the finest ingredients, sustainable freedom foods, free range and natural or wild produce.
With six outlets, the brasserie retains the individuality of each of the locations, while maintaining a uniform standard of food and service. The menu has several signature dishes like Maman Blanc's miscellany of salads, pumpkin and kirsch risotto and Burgundy snails in garlic herb butter.
Some interesting mains are Toulouse sausages, smooth mash and onion gravy, Aberdeenshire rump steak and chips, Dutch calf's liver served with smoked bacon and of course, Raymond's crab and salmon fishcake with butter sauce. There is a healthy selection of vegetables and salads - cauliflower gratin, as well as rocket and parmesan salad.
The wine list is French in concept, but includes new world wines and offers over forty-five varieties, including the house wine, ensuring there is something for everyone. In addition to a range of French cheeses selected by the Premier Cheese Company and homemade ice creams, one could also settle on chocolate and hazelnut delice or Blanc's blackberry and apple crumble to end the meal on a sweet note.

Your Reviews of Brasserie Blanc - Oxford
Alex (25 February 2009)
I went with the missus for delightful meal last weekend. She is not someone who takes to French food particularly well, preferring the light Italian to traditionally heavy French cuisine. I have to say we both left with big smiles on our faces, having devoured the crab-fish cakes and moules mariniere, delicately herbed up, for starters followed by an amazingly light bream as mains - £27 fillet a bit steep in my opinion. Although the dessert wasn't anything to write home about, it was nicely done sorbet, which was a tasty palate cleanser. To top the delicious meal, it was the service which blew us both away. Sorry didn't catch chap's name - glasses with earrings - the best service we've received for yonks. Smiles all round.

My husband and I had a satisfactory main course there on a Saturday in January; however, we were not asked if we wanted a large glass or a regular glass of wine - the large one came automatically at £9. Both puddings were very disappointing, especially mine, a very dry chocolate bit of sponge with very little sauce. Tasteless really, should have complained, come on! I remember the ile flottante of years ago, it's not that tricky or expensive to make, nor is a chocolate mousse or a clafoutis. We met monsieur Blanc incidentally a week or two after our latest meal, have enjoyed the book, he said he would look into the puddings. I hope he has. Let me know so we can come back.
