The best restaurants in Holywell, St Mary's Oxford South East

Great place to sit and watch the world go by (or, alternatively, watch coffee beans being prepared in the on-site roastery). Excellent coffee and friendly service.

The best bakery in Oxford! As an aspiring baker I love their sourdough, it’s the gold standard and made with local heritage grains which only makes it more interesting. The sweet treats are amazing too, I always go for the bread but end up leaving with more.

Brazilian?! Bad?! Difficult! Coxinha and cheese bread!

If I could give this bar a thousand stars I would! I had my 30th birthday party here and privatised the space for drinks, food and dancing. The staff on-site and behind the scenes were absolutely incredible! So organised and professional, they were very kind and put me completely at ease. I couldn't recommend this place enough. The cocktails were 10/10, as were the pizzas! A MUST GO!

Went here with my wife. Obviously as a millennial I was obsessed with the interiors, it took me right back to childhood. They have a great menu with lots of choice, I had a calzone, which was one of the best I've had. The service was enthusiastic and friendly and overall we will definitely be back for another visit. Really good value for money too!

I’ve been a regular at your St. Clements Street branch since it opened and always loved the food and service. But I tried the new Cowley Road branch recently and was really disappointed. I saw the same gloves being used to handle raw burger mince, then salad and appliances – that’s a serious hygiene issue. I also ordered a chicken burger and got something that looked like chewy chicken tenders in a bun. The fries were greasy and completely bland. I’m sharing this because I’ve always been a fan of your brand and hope the Cowley Road branch can improve to match the great quality of the original location. I now have a stomach ache after eating that burger which motivated to leave this review

A solid 5 stars without a doubt ! Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with authentic Greek flavors. From the classic moussaka to the perfectly grilled souvlaki, every bite transported me to the streets of Athens. The quality and freshness of the ingredients were evident. Opaaa

Loved eating here. The owner was very personable. The food was absolutely delicious.

Cakes delicious and the man serving has great customer service all smiles and checking on his customers but unfortunately I won’t return as I don’t think it’s very hygienic . The tables were wiped over with a dry cloth no spray . The two staff wore black gloves that stayed on for wiping dirty tables picking up cakes from the window and making coffees which I found off putting .

Me impresionó bastante el arte del café de hoy: un dragón galés con motivo de la calle de hoy. Día de David. Gran café y pasteles. Personal muy amable y un gran ambiente. Lamentablemente no hay baño.

I tried Caribbo's for the first time today. It was absolutely delicious! I had the Goat Curry which was amazing. The meat was so tender and the sauce was butsting with flavour without being over the top spicy. I also had the Jerk Chicken, which was even better! The price was very reasonable and the service was great. I can't recommend Caribbo's highly enough! Thank you Lloyd.

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal out. Food fresh, very tasty and plentiful. Service excellent. Saw me using fork to pass over some couscous to my husband and before I knew it they had noticed and brought me a spoon. I had dropped some couscous off my fork onto table and suddenly we were brought a plate with extra couscous. Would definitely return if in the area.

A beautiful Italian restaurant with amazing food – everything is fresh and perfectly prepared. The décor is very elegant, with Italian music playing softly in the background. It’s the perfect place for a romantic lunch or dinner.

Went for sushi night on Thursday night. The pieces were bigger than expected, fresh and very tasty.

Very warm welcome with tasters for a new visitor to understand the range of drinks in offer, with or without "pearls". Traditional seating in tea room at rear with more usual cafe seating elsewhere.
