Built in 1891 as a stable for the Plant Hotel, the re-imagined Oxford Exchange takes its in-
spiration from the venerable Wolseley in London. Chef Erin Guggino's American menu is
served beneath sculptural palm fronds in a greenhouse atrium. There's also a tiny wood-
paneled bookstore, a Buddy Brew coffee stand and TeBella bar. In 2014 it was granted a li-
quor license, which means an exciting new wine and cocktail menu powered by cold-
pressed juices.
The restaurant recently opened for dinner on Thursday and Sunday evenings and is hop-
ing to host a summer supper series.

The sunny, southern Mediterranean menu at L'Eden reflects chef Gerard Jamgotchian's
Marseillais roots. Flaky-crust quiches cradle a velvety mix of ham and cheese; crepes
come drizzled with cheese or chocolate; and the show-stealing Nicoise salad is dressed in
crunchy green beans and a signature vinaigrette. Breakfast is also good.
