Vacant for decades, it was originally a horse stable. If the horses could see it now: marble and brass, soaring ceilings, flickering gas lamps and a black-and-white checkered floor that attract hungry souls like moths to a flame. It's straight-up gorgeous, with a kind of retro-chic that is nearly impossible to calculate just right. No expense is spared on the Oxford Exchange, which is indeed reminiscent of some of London's poshest cafes. The building contains a tiny bookstore, a gift- and housewares store, a Buddy Brew coffee stand and a TeBella bar in addition to the restaurant. Breakfast and lunch menus are suitably chic without breaking the bank (sandwiches, salads, pastries, high tea).
