Oppo Restaurant Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom

Formerly known as the Opposition Restaurant, this small restaurant that is none the less comfortable and welcoming was affectionately given its new name as a favorite of those having visited Stratford. Oppo boasts a patio garden for warmer days. This is the place to savor well-cooked, simple, continental food as French, Spanish and other European delicacies are all served here. You can start with smooth chicken liver pate and roasted ciabatta before moving on to salmon fishcakes with a bed of spinach and sorrel sauce. Note that vegetarians are well catered to. Somewhat ingeniously, the Opposition's evening opening hours are set to coincide with the nearby Royal Shakespeare Theatre, making it a firm favorite for pre- and post-theater meals.
