About Ashmolean Rooftop Restaurant
A celebration of food and wine alongside art and culture, the Ashmolean Rooftop Restaurant provides the perfect setting for any occasion. Dine in our bright, airy restaurant or on our spectacular rooftop terrace, enjoying panoramic views of Oxford’s iconic spires.

Afternoon tea is a highlight, often inspired by the museum’s exhibitions, making every visit a unique experience. After dining, take the opportunity to explore the Ashmolean Museum’s rich collections, from ancient Egyptian artefacts to contemporary art, each telling stories of culture and history.
