Be sure to come early or reserve a table since this lovely pub fills up fast on a Friday night! Great atmosphere, good service and a good selection of drinks.

Great local pub in Jericho neighborhood of Oxford. We had the crepe complete, steak frites and mousse au chocolat and all were excellent. Service is friendly and environment is charmingly quirky and unique. Highly recommend.

We visited on a Sunday and our server must have had a late night as she was there but not present and had an attitude. The menu is slightly limited but the specials make it more expansive. I ordered off the 2 course menu but had just the one course and it was well prepared tasty and worth the wait. Atmosphere was ok but it was Sunday lunch so not great.

Very good. Great cosy atmosphere. Christmassy. Beef bourguignon not brill. Meat was tasteless and chewy. Not cooked for long enough. Should use shin or bavette. Sauce too thin. Fish soup, snails and fish pie excellent. Oh yes Romanian pinot noir bit average. Good beers. Definitely will go again

I’m obsessed with this place. It was the perfect ending to my Oxford and London trip before heading back to the States.

Attractive corner pub that serves French food. Slightly misleading name and mixed vibe - not an ale House as beers don't seem to be the main focus, French-style uniformed serving staff were super friendly and helpful, and the decor was warm and attractive in the bar and restaurant, but strangely 1980s style in the loos. The food was good but unexceptional ie the kind of thing you'd easily cook at home, and the white wine we ordered was good quality for the price and served at just the right temperature in lovely clean glasses. Overall, a nice enough meal in a nice enough place.

Backstreet boozer with a Gallic slant which is an eclectic and vital part of any Jericho crawl. Friendly staff, quirky interior, and well-kept ales tick most of the boxes and the tables outside are most-sought on a clement day.

EDITED to reflect correspondence with the owner - they acknowledged several errors and were eager to make things right, including new training and restaurant policies. Great ambience, nice menu and staff; however a complete lack of awareness around food allergies. I notified the waiter about a severe tree nut allergy and ordered something from the menu that had no noted items but was startled to discover walnuts in a chutney on a burger. Staff apologized, but there was no acknowledgement that this was a life threatening mistake that resulted in a trip to the hospital, directly from the restaurant, for emergency treatment. No one from the kitchen or management checked on us, or seemed worried about our quick departure. I was fortunate to get to the hospital in time and wouldn’t wish the experience on anyone.

Possibly Oxford's best pub (against stiff competition!). Cosy, eclectic, tucked away in a quiet part of Jericho. Lovely wines, excellent beers and cider, and with its usual fantastic French bistro food. The savoury crêpe are always perfect. I've been coming to this pub for years and I'll keep coming back every time I'm in Oxford.

A classic town pub, quite cramped inside with some limited seating in the quiet street, not far from the canal which you can cross to the north and then a pleasant 10min stroll south to the station. A reasonable range of beers, not cheap at £8.20 for just a pint of beer and soda & lime with quite slow service.

Fantastic hidden gem in the middle of a residential area of Oxford. From the outside it just looks like a classic British pub, inside is bursting full of character and the French food and wine makes a really incredible difference from the standard pub. The food, wine and beers of really high quality and the staff were also very friendly, welcoming and efficient. We had three courses in 1hr 45mins on a relatively busy Saturday afternoon. We were recommended this place and we’re not disappointed!!

Really nice service on a lovely evening. Food wasn't as good unfortunately - everything was under-seasoned, and a bit bland (especially the leek and mushroom starter). The fish in the 'fish in butter sauce' dish was more mushy, than flaky. Based on this, decided against ordering dessert. Luckily, the wine was very nice! Lovely to see the pub dog roaming about as well.

A friend recommended this as a nice pub with a French twist. We had a lovely dinner 2 starters & 2 mains but it was £53 which is on the pricier side. The beef bourguignon was labelled incorrectly as £13.50 when it was actually £17.50. They didn't offer to reduce the price either since when we saw the menu it was £13.50. Otherwise the food is nice and there were some different dishes on offer, not just your usual pub food.

Well kept beer, good welcome. Lots of tat on the walls makes it less enticing. Still very good. Personable staff. Just a shame about Greene King. The tat wasn't there 30 years ago. It was a very plain Morrells pub with woodchip on the walls and lino on the floor. Everything else was added when Morrells sold out. Cosy is good. Totally artificial memorabilia is just Wetherspoons levels of decor.

We came across this cafe by accident and thoroughly enjoyed our late lunch.I had the salmon quiche and it was very tasty and the side salads were delicious. Be warned this is a popular place and it isn't table service. We were a party of three so two of us bagged a table while the other ordered food. I could see single diners wandering hopelessly with their trays of food looking for a seat.
