It’s definitely ‘treat’ budget but worth every penny. Prices: It’s on the higher end since few of the main dishes are less than £20 and cocktails coming in around £10 each. But the highlight could be the rum cocktails! From classic rum punch to cashew apple daiquiri, Trinidad sours, banana republic, pina coladas and mojitos, they serve all your classics as well as lots of inventive drinks you won’t have tried before. With starters and sides like salt fish fritters and plantain, it’s a dining experience unlike any other in Oxford. Other dishes include tamarind lamb with papaya and mint chutney Guyanese pepper pot beef and whole roasted snapper with okra. You can choose between goat, king prawn and pumpkin, all of which include a side of chickpeas and a roti.

Spiced Roots, Cowley RoadĬaribbean cuisine is the name of the game at Spiced Roots. As well as veggie patties, there are several meat-free topping choices such as the Cactus Jack (pulled jackfruit, vegan cheese and onions) and the Rocket Man (vegan garlic mayo and cheese, mushrooms and rocket).Īddress: 92 Cowley Road. Prices go up to £17 but for a double-stacked patty with 5+ toppings, who’s complaining? Prices: Burgers start at £12 and include fries and a whole load of toppings. Must-try combos include the Cordell (BBQ pulled pork and cheese), the Frito Bandito (salsa, guac, nachos and sour cream) and the Elizabeth Shue (camembert, prosciutto and red onion). You build your own burger, choosing between four types of bun, either a beef, chicken or veggie burger then your choice of toppings. In classic American diner-style, it’s all about the burgers and heavy on quirk-factor. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped inside a comic book! It’s well worth a trip just to see the quirky interior with a giant Spiderman crawling across the ceiling. Down on the Cowley Road, this long-standing restaurant has been a local favourite for decades.

Atomic Burger, Cowley RoadĪn Oxford restaurant that can’t be forgotten is Atomic Burger. Vegan friendly? Not overly, although many of the dishes can be made with tofu in place of the meat.Īddress: 15 Holywell Street. Currently, lunch is served every day of the week apart from Mondays and Tuesdays, dinner is only served on Fridays and Saturdays, and sushi is set to Thursday nights. It’s worth checking the website before visiting as some of the menus only run at certain times. I’ll be back to experience the Thursday sushi night. For the amount of high-quality sashimi in my sushi bowl, I was really impressed. I visited on a weekday lunchtime and tried the delicious sushi bowl for £10 dish while my friend had a rich, steaming bowl of katsu curry. With a small, cosy feel and shared tables, there’s often a queue out the door but I recommend waiting it out for some of the best food in Oxford. Tiny Edamame restaurant on Turl Street is a real hidden gem that you probably wouldn’t spot walking by. Run by a married couple, this restaurant in central Oxford has been serving homecooked meals for over 20 years.

Prices: Reasonable with pizzas and burgers between £6-10. I like the cosy interior of both these Oxford restaurants the Rickety Press feels more like a restaurant/bar while the Rusty Bicycle has more of a pub feel.

They also serve a range of teas and coffees, plus their craft ales are known to be excellent. The side dishes like rosemary or truffle fries and cheesy garlic bread also should not be missed.Ĭome mornings and weekends, both restaurants serve delicious American-style breakfasts like pancakes and chicken & waffles. I can also vouch for the burgers: the Moo & Blue beef patty ladened with bacon chipotle jam, gooey gorgonzola and slices of pear was AMAZING. My favourite pizza is the Chorizo Picante with chorizo and red chilli. For tasty food in informal settings, this is one of the best places to eat in Oxford for a casual lunch or dinner.īoth restaurants offer a short but sweet menu of excellent wood-fired pizzas and oozy, delicious burgers. There are two branches of this Oxford restaurant under different names but both the Jericho-based Rickety Press and Magdalen Road’s Rusty Bicycle offer the same menu.
