Harden's says
A Modern British Brasserie set over two floors. With Champagne, oyster bar and private dining.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Classic bistro food” – “delicious and beautifully presented, amid a good ambience” – makes this a handy venue for a meal, an easy walk from the Ashmolean Museum in the city centre; the set lunch is particularly good value.
Summary
A “cosy restaurant with excellent food in the centre of Oxford, with a particular focus on seafood” and a Gallic touch to its brasserie cooking, as well as a stylish green-walled interior and dedicated bars for cocktails AND Champagne/oysters. It’s “well worth a visit”, especially at lunch when the “prix fixe menu always delivers, and is a steal at about £12 for two courses”.
Summary
“At last Oxford is getting some good restaurants” say fans of this very central Gallic-tinted British brasserie, est. 2017, who praise its “super” food and a well-appointed interior (green walls, copper tables) that “feels special” – partly due to fancy additions like the dedicated cocktail and Champagne/oyster bars. It did, though, also inspire the odd ‘off’ report.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
