The best restaurants 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 !

Food banging! Customer service was excellent! Super kind, super friendly, will definitely return.

High quality food, excellent service and reasonable prices. I strongly reccomend the beef rendang!

I’m in Oxford for work and, by pure accident (or fate?), I discovered this restaurant. Since I don’t like judging a place based on just one visit, I decided to go twice. Spoiler alert: it was a wild ride. Night 1 - The Case of the Missing Tap Water I walk in. The restaurant is half-empty. The host stand? Abandoned. No one in sight. I stand there awkwardly, slowly creeping closer to the counter, wondering if I’m invisible. Finally, a friendly gentleman (who I assume is the manager) spots me and takes me to my table. He asks, “Still or sparkling?” I confidently reply, “Tap water, please.” He nods, says “OK”… and then vanishes into thin air. Water? Never arrived. Did he forget? Did he go on a quest to find the purest tap water in all of England? We may never know. Luckily, a hardworking and super sweet waitress saved the day by taking my order and -miracle of miracles- bringing me the water I had requested years ago (okay, maybe just minutes, but it felt long). Food-wise? Pizza was fantastic! A little too much chunky pepperoni for my taste, but that’s a personal preference. No complaints otherwise. The bill arrives with the usual service charge included. I paid it- but only for the waitress, because our dear manager? Not exactly a service MVP. Night 2 - Speed Service & Vanishing Objects Friday night. Full house. I brace myself for a long wait, but lo and behold. same manager, different energy. This time, he seats me instantly (growth!) at a not-so-great table near the door. No problem, I’ll take what I can get. Does he ask if I want water? Absolutely not. At this point, I assume I’ve been blacklisted from the tap water club. A new waitress, equally delightful, takes my order. Food arrives in record time. I order salmon rigatoni. The salmon? Great. The rigatoni? Blah. No seasoning, no flavor, just… pasta. I consider asking for parmesan, but putting cheese on fish feels like a sin. Then, something incredible happens. I take my last bite. I wipe my mouth. Before I even lower my napkin..BOOM! My plate disappears. Like magic. Before I even blink, my napkin follows. I half expect my phone and wallet to vanish next. Final Thoughts - Lightning-Fast but a Bit Chaotic This restaurant has a solid foundation: good food (mostly), insanely fast service, and hardworking waitstaff. BUT, the customer care is… inconsistent. It’s like they’re on a speedrun of restaurant service, prioritizing efficiency over making guests feel truly welcome. Oh, and maybe, just maybe, someone could bring the tap water next time? Would I return? Maybe.

The food was excellent. But the service was sadly lacking. Would go back and hope it was just an off day.

Fui a Gatineau a recoger un pastel de cumpleaños de pedido especial y me quedé a tomar café y algo dulce. Esta es una porción de París en el norte de Oxford. Fabulosa pastelería y una bienvenida amable.

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.

Buen ambiente pero hay que esperar mucho tiempo para ciertos tipos de carne y las porciones son pequeñas cuando vienen. El cordero del menú solo se ofreció una vez y como mesa de 4 , solo obtuvimos una rodaja cada uno.

Visitado hoy 1 calle Marzo. Fue recibido con “suerte que llegaste cuando lo hiciste” a pesar de que habíamos reservado una mesa ya que parecía que la camarera estaba a punto de dar nuestra mesa a otra persona (a pesar de que llegamos 15 minutos antes de la hora designada como se indica en el formulario de reserva) por lo que desde el offset se sintió como si fuéramos un inconveniente, cuando se sentó la mesa fue asumido por el servilletero y cubiertos y menús rotos (terminó poniendo el cubierto en el suelo para que tuviéramos espacio) comida y bebidas pedidos, la comida llegó pero tuvo que pedir las bebidas (que estaban sentados en el bar) de nuevo esto se sintió como la camarera fue inconveniente porque pedimos. La comida estaba bien, pero como inmediatamente nos sentimos como un inconveniente, acabamos de pedir unos cuantos lados y refrescos (que llegan a £ 40! ) , nada que gritar, pero definitivamente no volverá.

Few of the lady servers are nice but the male who is probably the manager is very rude he seems to have an attitude, I’ve just Moved to summer town and he been the worst experience I’ve had so far so well done to the rest of the staff but the guy with the dodgy beard and attitude hmm I’m not so sure of

Probably one of the best Chinese restaurants I have been to. Excellent menu. Fast and attentive service. Would highly recommend.

It was nice experience as me and my friends come here a few times this time I had avo go go it was okay but i had lots of spinach bits and my friend had mango boba she thought it was nice but she would of liked it to be more sweet and more bubbles also the crepe could be bigger

Lovely beer and knowledgeable staff. Jack in particular went the extra mile

Back here after a several year gap and we were remembered, and warmly welcomed, so that was a good start. Excellent Indian, three mains, three vegetable sides, all looking fresh, different and interesting and tasting excellent. Nice to be back.
