Early on the scene of the Oxford town square revival, City Grocery has become a landmark in the Oxford dining scene. Exposed brick walls & heart pine plank floor augment the candle light and white linen staging some the most inventive and interesting food in the South. “Their (dishes) deft presentation is imaginative, skillful and disciplined, elevating them above qualification as regional and ethnic cuisine.”
Housed in the old Leslie’s Drug Store/ Downtown Grill building. The newly renovated space is home to the “Up-scale Down-home” fare of Bouré. Decidedly Creole in its overall scope, the restaurant isn’t easily labeled. A bustling casual dining room, attentive service and an outstanding menu elevate Bouré to something greater than just another college joint. Bouré is for everyone from a college date night to a special dinner with the family.
The forgotten meal gets its due just north of the town square. A breakfast menu with few surprises opens the door to breakfast cuisine full of inspiration and energy. One visit to BBB will guarantee you never look at a breakfast plate the same again. Whether it’s the house-cured Tabasco/Brown Sugar Bacon or the Anson Mills Steel Cut Oatmeal, you’ll be talking about coming back before you’ve left the table.
We’ve married French Bistro with North Mississippi Cafe resulting in the Bubba Brasserie cuisine. The Big Bad Smokehouse pulls double duty creating the items for our charcuterie program and choucroute garni gets a second chance with collards and pickled peaches. Raw oysters arrive daily from all over the country adding a unique touch to the glass tiled oysterbar that anchors our lower dining room. Top shelf whiskies and an extensive glass wine program round out an inviting and cozy bar setting likened to an “English Hunt Club.”
