I absolutely love this museum. Spotlessly clean, spacious and so many interesting exhibits. Free admission but a donation is welcome. Shows arts and cultures from all over the world with some amazing pieces to admire. Clean well maintained toilets. Did not visit the cafe or gift shop so cannot comment.

Fascinating place with many exciting displays. One could lose track of time viewing the countless exhibits. If a guided tour is an option then highly recommended. Allow plenty of time to wander and discover and take a break in their cafe or enjoy a meal in the roof top restaurant.

Love this museum. Has the bits of history that I enjoy. This time, I spent time in the Anglo-Saxon exhibit and went to see the Messiah violin by Stradivari and 2 other of his violins. Will do it again.

Brilliant! The Ashmolean has been on my visit list for years and it was amazing. The museum has a fantastic range of exhibits. It's a beautiful building, lots of space to take your time and not be crowded. Honestly, one visit isn't enough!

I've been in April with my daughter, we spent there half of the day. The museum is impressive, a lot of interesting things to see from different eras of history and different countries. We really enjoyed everything, but the roman statues and the Egyptian hieroglyphs really caught my eye, and another things that I loved were the Stradivarius violins.

A spot where you could have unintentionally spent hours browsing. Even though several of the galleries were closed for maintenance, there is so much to see and it takes time to thoroughly examine collections from different regions and time periods. I reserved a ticket for a specified time slot, yet it appears that it is not quite essential because I visited on a weekday. Furthermore, the highlights self-guided audio tour, which costs only £3.6 and can be listened to on one’s own digital devices, allows me to swiftly discover the most valuable objects in Ashmolean.

It's free, lots and interesting things to see from Roman times, Egypt, India, China and many more. I love this place. Worth every second of your steps. Toilet are clean, equipped with soap and toilet paper. There is locker provided (GBP1), café and souvenir shop.

Been there quite a few times but it never gets boring! You always find some small detail you haven’t noticed before. Good collections, even my 7 year old brother kept on busy exploring. Great activity to do in Oxford especially considering it’s free. There are toilets, cafe and a restaurant on the top floor.

Hadn't planned to visit but discovered I did not need to pre-book. Staff were very informative and had excellent Covid protocols. Free to enter, but please find it within yourself to make a donation! So much to see and you could spends days in here. I had time for the the European Art section and the English Ceramics today. Plenty of information boards explaining exhibits and all cases well labelled. Spacious cafe, lifts, toilets and £1 lockers if you don't want to carry your bag around. Whether you've got an hour or all day, the Ashmolean is a must when you visit Oxford.

The best museum I have ever visited. Understand this museum in in Oxford centre so being a seat of learning caters for all points of history. Clean, spacious with helpful staff. Lifts to floors, gift shop and tea room, spotless throughout lockers for your bags open or lockable umbrella stands (yes lockable) and mobile lightweight seating if you wish to study by an exhibit or rest for a while. Truly a fine place to visit. My visit was to see the Alfred jewel and was not disappointed. A must to visit while in oxford. And to top it all off its FREE. to enter, so drop in and out anytime during the day. A light and airy place not a old traditional dark and dusty museum. Nice to see the young people of Oxford and others studying inside the museum around exhibits. Gave the place such a nice feel.

I had a family day out & I was greeting and looked after superbly by the staff. There are many very interesting facts to learn about the world around us, may it be fiction and non-fictional. There also was a lovely staff member I know personally called Asia, and she just adds her own amazing uniqueness to the place. She organises events for the museum such as top class weddings. She definitely does her job justice.

My visit was specifically to see the Labyrinth exhibition, which was exceptional. The whole enormous building is full of interest & treasure, beautifully displayed and labelled. It would be easy to spend whole days there.

Loved this place. Such beautiful exhibits and so much history. It is good that the Ashmolean recognises some of the problematic sides to their acquisitions through colonialism and actually has a display on this. We enjoyed the juxtaposition of modern art with historical content. Learned so much here and will come back to Oxford again just to revisit this museum. Definitely worth stepping inside if you are in the area. You can spend a whole day here. You can also get a quick shot of culture in a 20 minute whirl.

📖A Must-See in Oxford - Especially for Bibliophiles📖 While it's free to tour the outside grounds (and they're stunning as-is), it costs only a small sum to have a brief, guided tour of the interior of the Bodleian Library. Our tour guide was awesome, making the experience personable, fun, and interesting throughout. The inside of the School of Divinity can't be captured properly with pictures. Numerous architects have their handiwork on display, and the details, miniature figures, and family crests can be savored for a long while (my personal favorite being Mary and baby Jesus reading a book together). Several films used this location as a backdrop, such as the Harry Potter movies, so fans of cinema will enjoy the tour as much as history buffs. Certain locations during the tour do not allow for photography (such as the inside of the library), so be respectful and mindful about those cues from your guide. I purchased my tickets the day-of at the entrance and did not have to wait long for my tour to begin. It's well-worth the experience and makes a great addition to a day spent in Oxford.

Historic, famous, 400 yr old library. Beautiful and definitely worth seeing when in Oxford. Unfortunately we couldn't go inside this time (wasn't open to the public when i went), but do go inside if you get the chance. Simply amazing structure and contents! Has been in many movies, i believe.

Highly recommend the tour, especially if you're able to take it with Louise, who is absolutely wonderful!

Loved it. Couldn't go inside yet. Either book a guided tour to go in or become a reader. But the view from outside itself was mesmerizing. Really really good to every book lover and old Archie fan. Mainly during sunset it was most beautiful

Lovely place of course, and important. Named for its founder this is one of the oldest libraries in Europe founded in 1602. It is today one of the largest, or in fact 2nd largest library in Britain. The location deep in historic Oxford is easy to access and the architecture is both beautiful and iconic. There is generally a place around the circular building to photograph the site without having to perk through crowds. It is a working library, one of many in Oxford, and this is worth remembering if you want to go inside. There are library tours available but I do not use them. A superb, important and iconic building that is worth visiting, if nothing else, just for the sense of history. When running fully, this site is well served by buses or it is very easy to walk or cycle to.

Wonderful place full of amazing history. The website stated that all tours were sold out, but you can buy them on the day. The advice we received was that tickets are sold out by 1130hrs, so do it early. The guide was very knowledgeable and easy to follow. We had 14 in our group. They give you a headset to amplify his voice, so it is easy to hear him, even though the guide was quiet in the library. Photos are allowed. There are three lengths of tours, we went for the hour, and it didn't disappoint.

Went to the Radcliffe Camera to the Solidarity with Ukraine demonstration. Maybe 500 people there, many Ukrainians, Russians, Poles, Georgians, Czechs... all opposed to Putin's aggression against the Ukraine. Messages from the city's MPs, Layla Moran and Annaleise Dodds. Moving speeches from those with family in the Ukraine.

One of the world’s great libraries. It’s worth booking a guided tour weeks in advance to see the Duke Humfrey’s Library. The guides are excellent. The gift shop is also very good. The Radcliffe Camera next door forms part of the library and is a landmark building too (it houses the history faculty library), however it isn’t open to visitors.

I am delighted to have booked the 60-minute guided tour to visit the Bodleian Library. Thanks to our enthusiastic and brilliant guide, Jessica, who provided us with a thorough and articulate explanation. I will certainly plan to visit again, and would love to take the 90-minute guided tour for a more comprehensive experience if it is available. Highly recommend joining the guided tour and reserving a spot in advance through the official website.

Do get a guided tour! Make sure to book at least one week in advance as well because the tickets run out. Seeing the oldest section of the library was amazing. The host was very knowledgeable, experienced, fun and entertaining.

A really beautiful place to visit. Quite large, but the audio walking tour is self-guided so you can move at your own pace. There’s a nice path to the river as well, providing lots to see both inside and outside. Visitors cannot go in the library, but it was fun hearing about the tree that can be seen from within that is the inspiration for the tree the Cheshire Cat sits in throughout the Alice in Wonderland stories.

Probably the most visited college of Oxford. Christ Church certainly worth a visit. Remember to pre-book your ticket as it can get very crowded and you'll have to wait to get a ticket. Very helpful free audio guide that helps you walk around the college. This college is very popular being one of the filming location for Harry Potter. The grounds are also very beautiful and you must take time to walk around the college.

Located in the heart of the city, Christ Church is conveniently close to museums, shops and restaurants. What a magical experience from the grandeur of the Harry Potter setting of the Grand Hall to the majestic stained glass windows , ceiling detail and font. Even if you choose not to pay to go inside it is definitely worth a visit to take photos from the outside. At the side of the main entrance you can walk through the meadow up to the river.

It was wonderful to revisit a place that has served my family for generations. A very historic building full of history and amazing architecture. The atmosphere is both imposing and inspiring. I would highly recommend a visit as great men and women of history have passed through these buildings.

Christ Church College is definitely one of the must-visit landmarks in Oxford and not only for fans of Harry Potter. The admission needs go be reserved online in advance and the availability is pretty limited. The dining hall is currently in use so it would be closed during lunch time. It's famous for the movie scenes in Harry Potter series for its dining hall and center field. We were impressed by how brilliant & magnificent the church is and we enjoyed the view very much.

Why do I have to buy tickets online? We were there in person with cash and card and they wouldn't let us buy a ticket. Real jobs worth in the gift shop. Have to go outside and mess around with their website to buy a ticket with our travel cards. Very annoying. The buildings themselves were very nice to see but you won't be spending long there. The cathedral was the highlight - good information about the stained glass etc. Personally I found other smaller colleges better to visit. This felt more like a money grab impersonal tourist attraction. Go to small but pretty college like Balliol instead if you don't want to pay an arm and a leg.

Beautiful experience. The college was nice, and the cathedral also. Although the price of it is high, I recommend buying the multimedia ticket, it contains a lot of useful and interesting information, and it is translated into many languages. Also, if you want to go there, do buy tickets online in advance, because they tend to sell out quickly.

Beautiful, historic Oxford college. I have visited several times, but not since they added a new visitor’s center with self-guided audio tours. The audio/video tour is one of the best I have experienced while traveling. It contains a lot of excellent information both about the history of the college and its contemporary use. For people new to the UK/Oxford university system, this tour helps you to understand how things work while gaining an appreciation for the history of this particular college and its cathedral. The meadows are, of course, a lovely place to walk, picnic, or even take a nap!

It's a beautiful place, the interiors are amazing. The college is absolutely stunning. I would recommend booking the tickets online. There's a ticket counter and a small shop nearby. Situated in the heart of the city. Parking would be a bit difficult around this area, better explore by walk.

Being a museum worker myself I do enjoy visiting other museums. This one is particularly stunning with its high, green house style ceiling in the main hall. You could spend hours in just this room alone. There is a lovely cafe that overlooks the main hall from up high, a great location for a cafe. You can see a lot more detail in the ceiling from there so don't miss that opportunity to take some snaps. They have some truly stunning items in this museum, one of my fave places is a very small darkened room where they show off some gem stones under a black light. Their T-Rex takes pride of place in the main hall and does not disappoint. I think my favourite area though was the Pitt Rivers Museum, which is inside the museum of natural history. In there you will find some of the most interesting, weird, wacky and fascinating items. Do not miss that area! I would point out that due to building works we ended up walking around for some time, looking for the entrance which for some reason is not signed posted anywhere. If you go onto their website and look at a map they have provided, (my visit was planned by a friend who knew the area so I hadn't thought to go and look myself) you will find it much easier to get to the entrance.

Wonderful building with a well rounded collection. Think its one of the better Natural History museums out there! One thing that was a shame to see was that the taxidermy specimens had been exposed to quite a bit of sunlight and really should’ve been taken care of better! But a definite must see!!

Amazing. Literally I can spend days in this place and just get a small perspective of all the knowledge that it holds. The way the exposition is set up, how wonderful the building is by itself, the heterogeneity of scopes that the collection holds. Don't miss the back area of the museum. And be sure to check the columns on the second floor. Every single detail is inspiring. And it is free, which is mind blowing. One of the best museums I have ever visited.

What a spectacular collection of history! Lovely friendly staff, lots of interesting things to look at. To see it all you'll need a few hours. It's free entry but if you can, take a fiver for the donation box to keep the place going! Not much parking nearby so it's advisable to do park and ride. The museum is with a few minutes walking distance of a lovely park so if the weather is nice, pop along to see that too! 😊

I recently celebrated my birthday in a rather unconventional way by visiting the Oxford Natural History Museum, and let me tell you, it turned out to be one of the most remarkable and enriching experiences of my life. Despite the skepticism from some friends and family who questioned my choice of a museum as a birthday destination, I followed my passion for history and natural wonders, and I couldn't have made a better decision. One of the highlights of my visit was the meteorite exhibit. Seeing this extraterrestrial rock up close and learning about its origins left me in awe of the vastness of the universe. The museum did an excellent job of presenting the information in a way that was accessible to visitors of all ages, and the interactive elements made it even more engaging. What truly made my visit unforgettable was the opportunity to touch and interact with rare minerals and objects. It's not every day that you get to feel the weight of history in your hands. The museum's dedication to allowing visitors to have a hands-on experience with these precious artifacts is commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend this museum to anyone with an appreciation for natural history. It is a treasure trove of knowledge and a place where unforgettable memories are made.

A wonderful museum experience. It is much smaller than London's Natural History Museum, but this makes it, in a way, better, because it is more densely packed with interesting things. One of my favourite museums in the UK, and probably the highlight of my visit to Oxford. The only downside is that I don't believe there is enough here to ever warrant a second visit.

Lovely building, interesting artifacts, great for a date and for kids. We had a great time, the coffee cart outside was definitely worth a visit as well, so make sure you stop there on your way in. Everyone was lovely inside as well. Can't really complain about anything. Great for an afternoon out.

It was an amazing place ,not only an extensive collection of various animal skeletons, they also had a stuffed dodo,one of its kinds. A fantastic artistic display of butterflies,ins3cts ,crabs,minerals etc. It was a Sunday and saw so many kids enjoying their exhibits and having painting and other sessions too.

It's a wonderful day. A huge museum, must go after a good breakfast. No tickets. But parking is costly. I paid 13pond for 2hrs. So within 2hrs, how much we can see we did. But so many things I can't see. It's too sad. Lift is also available. Toilets are very nice. You can move with your stroller if you have a baby. If you want to carry your baby you can park your stroller inside. I like it. A tea stall was outside. A prayer room is also present near it. But it has code . Only one thing I felt. So many things in a single place so congested little bit. 2ndly I saw some in an order way. But some are not. Anyhow it's an amazing time. Again I thought we are tiniest part of the universe. And how much we are unaware of the secret of the universe

This place was absolutely amazing if I'm honest. It's free to enter unless you're in a large tour group. It's a great place to take the kids both young & older. There's some activity sheets you can pick up and you do whilst walking around. There's lots to see here from dinosaurs to an actual roman burial complete with a real skeleton. If you're looking for a a day out, definitely think of this place. Once you're done, you have Oxford to explore & that itself offers so much to see & do.

Went on a free walking tour of the Colleges of Oxford . Delightful ex student, Anastasia took us on a 2 hours stroll around the main Colleges . Very interesting and very informative. If you have the time don't miss the covered market.

A truly jem of history and culture. Get a ticket and get lost in the cathedral, library and university

Peaceful. It's a nice place to walk about and enjoy watching the punters on the river. In summer you can sit on the grass. In winter you can try and spot some wildlife. I have been told there are kingfishers there but I've not been able to spot one yet. Lots of friendly ducks though!

Beautifully-kept gardens and grounds, partially open to the public, for free (you can pay to go inside, too).

Had a great run her as the place was clean and really beautiful

Get here early if you want to go on the tour, was sold out by 2 o'clock when we were there. Gardens are nice.

It’s a very good example of Oxford village pub’s. Atmosphere, staff very warm. Comfortable chairs, handy bar and it’s quite bid enough. There’s big sitting area near riverside, if the weather appropriate it’s specially very good. Many options on the menu and moderately priced and at the nearsighted free park area. Go for it and enjoy !!

I took two friends for lunch as we had stopped for a drink before but never eaten there. I was so pleased that we did! The food was amazing, well presented and so tasty. No pictures of starters as we ate them so quickly as they looked so appetising! All of the staff were friendly and efficient and the service could not be faulted. Great atmosphere for dining in beautiful surroundings. We will certainly be back again!

I could not fault The Trout Inn, the friendly reception we received from the staff was fantastic. The food was first class, well presented and fresh as the day is long. The situation of this very old building is very pleasant, on the bank of the River Thames (ISIS). I have no hesitation in recommending all to visit for either a meal or just to relax in high backed chairs with a glass of your favourite tipple. I will definitely be returning.

Lovely pub and spot to sit out by the river with great service. We both had salmon which was beautifully cooked and they were very good catering for allergies. Only criticism is that it would have been nice to have been advised that one of the dishes came with very little veg - it was too late then to order a side as my food would have gone cold. Definitely worth booking ahead for food on a weekend. On the day they are often too busy to answer the phone.

This is a lovely place to dine and have some drinks or just hang out with friends. The location on the water is so relaxing and inviting. Inside is what one comes to love about English pubs for their warm, inviting and homey atmosphere. This is a can’t miss opportunity for a great experience. Stop in and i know you will agree. 😁

Visited Oxford on a very sunny day, I had tried to book here for a Sunday roast, but was fully booked. The reviews looked great - So decided to pop in for a beer anyway and see if it was worth visiting next time I was in Oxford. It was EXTREMELY busy. Managed to find a spot next to the river in the garden. Lovely place, we ordered beers off the table scanner and they took an incredibly long amount of time to come. Would definitely advise booking

Perfect Sunday roast experience. Located in a stunning setting alongside River Thames, the inn's tables sit peacefully in the shade. The staff was very friendly and we were served with an impressive speed. The food was of very high standards, both in terms of look and taste - the juicy chicken in particular is to die for - and the iced water lightly infused with lemon brought an exquisite freshness to the meal. Finally, the inn building itself is a historical treasure and quintissentially British.

Took a chance on the Google description for my husband's birthday, as we are not from this area. We were not disappointed! The pub itself has a lovely, cozy, olde world atmosphere and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and prices reasonable.

Heard it's one of the best French restaurant in town. We made a reservation for dinner and by the time we got there, the restaurant was fully packed. We were served with some bread and butter. They were really yummy. I ordered 2 courses meal, entree and main course both were vegetarian. The entree was roasted parsnips on pastry puff with balsamic dressing. It was nice and I had this three beans curry with couscous. The taste was just ok but the portion was big.

I was treated by my friends to this family run restaurant and I was truly impressed. The dishes all tasted as good as they looked. And Let’s just say that everyone was very happy with their dishes and looking forward to returning soon. This is a little gem of Oxford.

Excellent service and food was very solid. We really enjoyed the atmosphere in here and the staff was exceptional - you could tell that they enjoy their work. For them alone I'd rate this place highly. That said, a similar level of care goes into the food they serve, with creative dashes of colour and flare in everything that was brought to our table.

We had a nice dinner! It was Sunday evening, we walked in with no reservation. They told us that they’re fully booked tonight however there is a spot for only an hour now. It actually worked perfectly for us! Everything was very tasty and served at the perfect time. Great service!

Went on a date night after hearing very good things about Pierre Victoire, and although the expectations were very high, they were exceeded! 👌 Best meal I had in a long time. No point in talking about the food, just come and give it a try, you'll be delighted! Very friendly but still professional service. A small mistake was made while serving our starters but it was promptly resolved and even offered an extra complementary starter as "compensation" when it was not even needed, which shows great focus on customer service. Had the sharing chocolate fondue for desert, which was great, but I thought the choice of fruits to go with it was not very happy, particularly the orange and the pineapple, but that's just a matter of personal opinion, I guess. The strawberries and marshmallows were amazing! I loved the contrast of fine dining food with the casual environment of a bistro, but it was a bit too loud. But maybe it was just a night with particularly noisy customers. Overall, it was a great experience and it just bacame my favourite restaurant in Oxford. Well done to the whole team! 👏

A very nice experience! The menu is very well priced at just shy of £35 pp for 3 courses. Well presented food with lush sauces. Seated at a halfway point up the stairs I think we missed out on the atmosphere of the restaurant. However, food was served very quickly, you weren’t left waiting around for long! Will definitely be back for more. There is raw red onion on a lot of the dishes so ensure you ask without if you’re not a fan. Would recommend the Duck Confit and Tiramisu. Both fabulous!! Will be back for more.

Went to Pierre Victoire for birthday celebration. The food was delicious and service was great. Prices are on point at about 30 quid for three course meal. Cheese souffle is the best I've had.

Really nice place. It's not inexpensive. The prices are quite high, at least for my budget. Fixed price- 28.50 for two course. 34.50 for three course. And the alcohol is expensive too. But if you want to have a high-end dinner in Oxford and you have the money to spend, this is a fantastic choice. Good location- Little Clarendon Street. Lots of seating space. Ground floor, outdoors, upper floors. Very well maintained. Helpful, friendly staff. The food is delicious. The portions are good, especially for the main course. I tried a lot of the dishes and everything tasted superb.

Amazing food! my fave is the souffle! we had mussels and blue cheese souffle as starter then lamb steak and sea bass, and we got the apple tart for dessert. 10/10 recommend!

The Quod is a nice restaurant to dress up and enjoy a nice meal paired with some good drinks. The service is excellent and the atmosphere really enjoyable. The pizza I ordered, however, was severely lacking, both in taste and texture and would not recommend it at all. The food my friends ordered did look very yummy and they seemed to be quite satisfied with it!

Quod last night was a real buzzy place. We came to Oxford to meet with some friends and perfect place to have a meal. Friendly servers and food was wholesome. A very good trip for a good meal with family and friends. The scallops and prawn gratin was exceptional as was my tagliatelle with pork. Decent size portions too. The toilets were clean as well which is always a good sign.

The 3 stars are for the exceptional Sunday roast, the best ever. The crispy duck breast is very disappointing because the skin is not at all crispy. The gravy should be much thicker! The meat is quite chewy yet not fully cooked. Yuck! 🤮 It’s better to come with some carbohydrates. I have tried much much better duck breast elsewhere. I would give myself an applause to manage to finish it.

Wonderful hotel restaurant in Oxford with full bar and table seating. Outdoor seating is also available though not available in winter. Fresh salads, soups, warm bread and mains they offer local fish and chips from time to time. Be sure to check board for their specials.

Sunday Roast is to die for. The basil daiquiri is one of the best drinks I’ve ever had and I’m not a big drinker. Luca, my waiter was so nice and had great recommendations. I originally booked a different Sunday roast spot but this place was recommended to me because of the cute outdoor area. I was supposed to sit inside but when I asked for an outdoor table they made it happen even though it was booked up. All the meat is local which I love. 10/10 would recommended.

Dined here on a Sunday evening and it was perfect. The attention to detail was everything you expect for a restrauent and more! Beautiful interior and atmosphere. Service was very good and warmly. Food was even better. Very tasty main dishes, full of flavour and taste. Very enjoyable experience, will be going there when visiting oxford.

During our vacation to London, we planned a day-trip to Oxford to visit the Bodleian Library and University. We also wanted to check the box on "Afternoon Tea" as part of our itinerary. The Quod Restaurant Bar & Grill not only helped us check that box, but also happened to be conveniently located in the middle of the main attractions we wanted to tour. I reserved a spot through OpenTable, but the reservation wasn't wholly necessary for the time of day (3:30), as there were seats available, both inside and on the terrace. Our waitress offered us a choice of seating and then provided us with a picturesque spot by the window, where we could see a lovely view of the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin (see image gallery). The restaurant interior carried a polished and high-end aura, but we felt very welcomed in smart-casual attire. The pace of service provided plenty of chatting time during dining, with no hurry to rush us out, lending a relaxed, almost café-style tone to the experience. We selected from both the Afternoon Tea and Luncheon menus. My traveling companion enjoyed her cassoulet of Spring Vegetables, curly kale, and haricot beans, which arrived in a fresh-from-the-kitchen cast-iron skillet. The real show-stopper, though, was the High Tea, which we shared. The tea itself was the perennial English Breakfast with milk. The tray included five finger sandwiches, ranging from cucumber, to egg and cress, to ham and mustard. Two savory scones, large enough to share, came next, along with a buttery-sweet serving of clotted cream and tart, juicy jam. The selection of desserts topping the tray represented the best of the Quod's variety, including a shortbread cookie, macaroon, mocha-frosted cupcake, lemon bar, fudge cake, and artistic cup of blood orange tart, crème fraiche pudding with a sprinkling of fruit seeds for texture. I highly recommend the Quod for its great location, picturesque views, and, especially, its High Tea. I look forward to dining there again, next time I'm "across the pond."

Great place in superb location! Excellent food and great service. Upon our arrival, we were asked whether we wanted to sit in a more central (spacious) area, or whether we preferred a table in a quieter area. As the latter didn't appeal to us because the (small) table (seemingly more suited for single guests) was next to a busy passageway for the staff, where we didn't think we could get comfortable, we opted for the former. Unfortunately, there was a large gathering at the next table, which turned out to be very noisy. Other than that, the service was great and the food absolutely delicious! I also liked the twist with the roasted bone marrow, which I have never seen before. Very central location and thus very convenient. The restaurant also sports a nice terrace, although unfortunately we didn't get to put that to the test, as the weather was too cool to eat outside. Maybe next time!

Lovely evening, great food! We loved the tagliatelle and the starter special of the day! Top notch service from Vanessa, not often you see a passionate professional like her! We really enjoyed

I was in the red room. I find the main restaurant can be a little noisy, so really liked this. I had haddock risotto and sea bream. The dishes were excellent. Cooked extremely well. The risotto was creamy but not sickly. The bream skin crispy, the fish firm but not dry. I finished with Earl Gray tea. Service can be a little slow but is friendly and professional.

I'd won a gift voucher and not been before, the food was really good but I do think a little overpriced for what it was. Incredibly awkward place to get to if you're driving, but the wait staff were really lovely. Wine selection was great too. My duck leg was super tasty and although I've had better in the Alps, the tartiflette was still good.

We received a warm welcome and were shown to our table promptly. Service was quick, and all staff were very nice. Was slightly loud, and sometimes we had trouble hearing each other, but the overall atmosphere was pleasant. The food overall was very good. We both had the scallop starter, which was the highlight of our meal. It was delicious, and we would highly recommend it.

A great modern British restaurant in the centre of Jericho. Their food is amazing. Very friendly service. Decoration is modern and relaxing. Dishes are a bit expensive, but you do feel money well spent. Great for special dining out occasions.

Brasserie Blanc will not let you down! Came for a spontaneous date night and found ourselves quickly accommodated at a table for two. The food is brilliant and we found ourselves so full we were unable to order dessert. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was just right. It’s a little pricey, but the quality of the evening made it well worth it!

Marvelously efficient and professional service. The server was able to tell we'd be sharing without us having to say a thing -- a fairly impressive feat that speaks to her years of experience. The escargots we got were wonderfully soft and tender and paired well with the provided baguette, while the ribeye was spiced just right. The presentation was beautiful and the atmosphere felt homely yet upscale. It's great both for formal dinners and just going out with your family. I do recommend making a reservation beforehand, as we just managed to snag the last table as walk-ins.

Went on a Saturday evening and the place was empty except what seemed to be a few regulars. The food was excellent as should be expected with Raymond Blanc's name on the establishment. The staff were very welcoming. No complaints, I'll be back again next time I am in Oxford.

We booked for our wedding anniversary and had been really looking forward to it. The starters were delicious, Mediterranean mezee and chicken liver parfait. Unfortunately my husband's choice of duck was off the menu, and was substituted by lamb tagine with couscous - it was disappointing as it was swimming in a puddle of oil and he was unable to eat much of it. My salmon with fries and salad was perfect, and so was the dessert of pistachio souffle.

We went to this restaurant over the Easter bank holiday and it didn't disappoint. I would recommend sitting through the back of the restaurant where it's a larger area of seating and has a bit more ambience. The food was very good quality and cooked to perfection. The flavours were lovely, presentation good also. The waitress's and waiters were attentive and very polite. We had a very lovely experience. The first dish is lamb the second dish is sirloin steak. We had a great soufflé to start with a crumb outer layer and was just as it should be, light and fluffy and full of cheese sauce.

Secret: Best breakfast/brunch in Oxford! If you want fresh, authentic and fairly priced Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes — then this is the place to go. The service and attentiveness are out of this world. Food arrives always in a reasonable time. For the last few years, I am visiting Antep Kitchen at least once a month and it is always crowded, unlike other restaurants, which speaks for itself.

Amazing food! Comes highly recommended. Presentation is good, Restaurant Is very nice inside. Service could be a little better. Limited parking outside.

Authentic family run Turkish restaurant with great atmosphere and absolutely delicious kebabs and Turkish food. The lamb chops or lamb ribs are a must. Also loved the Turkish sparkling wine. Everything made in house. Busiest restaurant on the street and such a delicious generous meal. Finished with baklava and Turkish tea. Will definitely return when next in town.

One of the best Turkish Restaurant in England. Staff always courteous and helpful. Recipes are great and true Antep style. Good quality food with value for money

Absolutely amazing. My first Turkish restaurant experience. All the food was top notch. The service was second to none. Extremely busy which shows how popular it is. Oxford is lucky to have Antep. We will be back.

Some of the best Turkish food I’ve had! The mixed kebab plate came with a large portion of meat, rice, salad, etc that will fill most people and then some. The food really was pretty great. Service was not friendly and it really seemed like all the staff we interacted with did not want to be there at all, which just made for an unpleasant and uncomfortable dining experience.

Very nice and friendly atmosphere and good value for money. Food was fresh and hot. And the service was spot on and quick. Not only it presented nice , it taste good. Although , I went to try a specific bread but that is only served in the evening after 6. All in all , it was very good place to go with family

It was such a great experience. The food is amazing, the staff are awesome. Every member of the staff is so keen to take your dining experience to the best level they can. Ali did a great job to make sure we are happy with our dinner. The ambiance is great and the food tastes yum.. will definitely visit and recommend to try

Excellent Turkish restaurant at Cowley road. We were accommodated quickly at rush hour even without a booking and staff was very kind. Food was very good and served quickly, with waiters giving recommendations on what to order from the menu. Have frequented this restaurant many times and would definitely recommend!

Been here at least 4 times in the last couple years and we love the joint. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, always amazing. No complaints about the food or service. The staff have always been top notch and the food is out of this world. We go there for good meat and we always leave satisfied in that regard. I think it's worth mentioning though, be mindful when you're heading there. Our most recent visit was on a Saturday evening so it was peak hours and very loud and lively. This was expected and proved to be too much for our 6 year old who expressed discomfort. This was added on by several birthday highlights that were all brief but very loud. The place felt more like a night club than a restaurant that evening. We'll be sure to return but I very much doubt it'll be on a weekend evening. We both had the mixed kebab which on the menu says comes with rice or salad but in actuality, the salad is default and the choices are really rice or fries. We also ordered a glass of red wine each - Shiraz. We should have specified small glasses because what came were glasses as big as our heads! I certainly didn't need all that drink and the next day I felt like I was on rhino tranquilizers. Perhaps they can do with a merlot on the menu. Still, love this place.
