The best restaurants serving Default food in Summertown Oxford South East

As the other reviewers have commented this is fantastic ice cream, the best I've had here in the UK. For other comparable ice creams I've had I would mention Fenocchio in Nice, and Messina in Sydney. But if you don't want to fly for your ice cream here it is in Oxford.

Absolutely stunning meal ! If you want authentic Spanish tapas get yourself to thirty eight all staff members were very polite and explained every dish in front of you on how it was made . Top marks to the chef 👌 try the meatballs they are outrageous!! Five star !

Had some take away food from truck in Marcham happened to serve same happened to be run by the same owners as this restaurant. It was delicious.have no pic as it was take away and finished before i even got back to my car ! If it is as good as BBQ chicken burger Must be fantastic ! OXFIRD. CHEF

First time here. Saw the review online thought I want to give it a try. The food portion is very small. I double checked the photos on google afterwards noticed that the chicken I have is just half the size of what other people have. The beef brisket noodles was recommended by the staff but the soup is tasteless and I couldn’t finish it. Would not recommend.

The pizza tastes good, but it doesn’t match the advertised size. The website says the large one is 36 cm, and when ordering by phone, I also asked if this 36 cm is the size when raw or cooked. I was assured it was in the cooked state. However, when I received the order, the pizza measured 34 cm in diameter. The area of a circle is calculated using the formula: A = πr², so the area of the cooked pizza should be A = 3.14 * 18² = 1,017 cm². In reality, though, it’s A = 3.14 * 17² = 907 cm². The difference between the advertised and actual sizes is 1,017 - 907 = 110 cm². There are 8 slices in the pizza, which means the area of one slice should be 1,017 ÷ 8 = 127 cm². This means that the difference between the advertised and actual product is almost equivalent to one slice of pizza.

Superb - the cakes are expensive but the standard is on a par with the best in Paris. You will find most of the usual Parisian patisserie favourites and a full range of croissants and breads. Personally I'd prefer if they also did the lemon tart but without the meringue on top, but everyone has their favourites.

I’m always craving LB’s like mad… chicken shawarma and potatoes go CRAZZZYYY!! Prices are also really really good in my opinion. Live Laugh LB’s.

Good atmosphere but you have to wait a long time for certain types of meat and portions are small when they come. The lamb on the menu was only offered once and as a table of 4, we only got one slice each.

I had the best time at burnout, I would like to give a MASSIVE thank you to the waitress, Sharday. She was extremely helpful with helping me what to eat giving her own recommendations and what she thinks I would like. Her service throughout my whole time here was more than excellent and made me feel really welcome 🤗. Due to this service I am 100% going back to eat again and I will be telling all of my family/ friends to come here. Amazing restaurant!

Really great matcha spot! (The matcha latte has a very beautiful vibrant green colour, no clumps at the bottom and a perfect latte art as well) 🍵🤍

Best thing about it is how nice all staff members are!

They seem a little sloppy at present; not what I expected. The table was sticky to the touch (it had been wiped but not with a clean enough cloth), and one meal was burned (but placed face down to hide it) and needed to be returned to the kitchen. However no fuss was made by us, not an apology given by them. Come on Dewdrop you can do better. So, a few years later I return more regularly. It has certainly improved. A much more welcoming and flexible staff. The food and service have improved and it was much more friendly than before.

Have been going regularly once a month for a while. The food is very tasty. Latterly though have been placed in conservatory with large noisy party each time we visit . The space is not well lit and have to ask for extra lighting and so disappointing that apart from sizzling dishes , food served on cold plate and barely warm .The beef in black bean and green pepper sauce had one pice of pepper . And the lamb with ginger and spring onion plenty of onion but no spring onion!

Spot on Chapatti and chicken with ginger. So well done. Thank you. Thank you. Will be back again soon. Best wishes. Conrad
