Places to Eat, Pubs and Restaurants in Oxford
Oxford is a thriving city in the Cotswolds with a wide range of different types of places to eat to meet the needs of students, locals and tourists.
St George Street is one of the main restaurant areas in Oxford. It is close to Cornmarket Street – a busy shopping area and home to The New Theatre (formerly The Apollo Theatre).
A popular place to eat in Oxford is the Caffe Uno restaurant is located at 41 – 47 George Street. It provides a relaxed and informal atmosphere with a range of Italian dishes including pasta, pizza and grills. Light crunchy salads are available.
Children and parties are welcome at Caffe Uno.
Close by is Restaurant Du-Liban which is on Broad Street above Boswell’s Department Store. This is a Lebanese restaurant which offers entertainment in the form of belly dancing on Friday and Saturday nights and has a bar which is open to the public. The reviews posted on the restaurant’s website talk of a fantastic atmosphere, a curvaceous belly dancer and the opportunity to experiment with new, tantalising tastes.
For a fish and seafood restaurant, head out to Loch Fyne in Jericho – a short and pleasant stroll from George Street. If you enjoy fish and shellfish this is the restaurant for you.
As with all Loch Fyne restaurants, the décor is striking and individually designed. With wooden floors, zinc topped bar and contemporary artwork adorning the walls, it is one of the most stylish restaurants in Oxford. Relaxing in one of the comfy couches over a refreshing drink before starting your meal can be the perfect start to an evening out.
The fish shop by the front door adds to the atmosphere and provides the opportunity to purchase fish and seafood to enjoy at home.
Next stop is Door 74 on Cowley Road. To get here you need to head out along the High Street towards Magdalen College and The Plain. When the road splits into three, take the middle option which is Cowley Road.
This restaurant places the emphasis on fresh, local and organic produce and serves quality English food in simple but chic surroundings.
Oxford is surrounded by the beautiful Cotswold countryside dotted with villages. The Fishes is in a village called North Hinksey on the outskirts of Oxford. It serves fresh food, a great choice of wine by the glass and real ales.
In 2006, the restaurant was awarded the title “Al fresco Pub of the Year” for their outdoor riverside dining area. Picnics and barbecues are available in the summer. The pub was also in the final three in a competition to find the best pub for Sunday lunch.
Another out of town pub and restaurant in the Oxford area is The Three Horseshoes on The Green in Garsington. This is a refurbished pub run by a team with a passion for fresh and local produce. A speciality is Sunday lunch.
