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

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 very late review but always consistently good food in Arbequina and a firm favourite. Worth going for the tortilla alone!

A cosy, busy little tapas restaurant, with a vibrant atmosphere. Service struggled to manage demand in timely manner. Good range of tapas, unfortunately two key ‘warm tapas’ not available at the time of our visit. Chicken tapas, and chickpea & spinach dishes were both original & excellent. Unfortunately whitebait with chips, and calamari were unnecessarily over seasoned with salt. Wine by the glass limited to house wine only; could benefit from a better choice by the glass, carafe or half carafe. Staff receptive to the feedback. This is a place with appeal and worth a visit.

Have been to this place twice now. The food is really amazing and the atmosphere is great as well but the only weak point is their service. I think the staff needs a better way of communicating with the kitchen, each other and the table. It can get busy and hectic but I did find the interaction between staff and customers bordering on rude at some points. I can't fault the food though.. it was really really good.

Really nice and beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❤️ 💕 ♥️

Worst possible place to visit. Toilets don’t flush and it’s so dirty. Almost slipped on my way out. Drinks are way too sweet.(diabetes giving) Floors are slippery. Caught male employees staring at multiple women’s buttocks.
