Arbequina

Pretty good little independent restaurant in Oxford. A must-try for Oxford foodies. The tortilla was my most favourite dish of the night, but the pork tenderloin was a very close second. Staff were nice. Lighting and ambience was good. Natural wine selection decent. Would happily go back

It was one of the best restaurants I've been to in Oxford! The food was amazing. We loved everything we ordered. My personal favourites were the octopus and the grilled cabbage. Absolutely mind-blowing!

Fantastic service, great food! Their onion tortilla was very savoury and I loved that their hot chocolate was thick. I'd recommend coming here with friends rather than dining solo so that you can try out more, as their flavours can get overpowering and old after a while.

We had a wonderful lunch here! Great service and atmosphere and delicious food. The bean stew was our fave!

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! Food was delicious! Especially the tempura fig and chickpea salad! But it was all great. Friendly service too and lovely atmosphere. It’s an expensive meal. But compared to other food of this quality it’s great value. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Michelin restaurant, the food is very tasty and it feels like what’s you order will be great. The cocktails are great, I highly recommend the Basil Gimlet. For dishes I would recommend Bread, Beetroot, Chorizo, Chickpeas, Courgette Chicken, Cheesecake, Chocolate Mousse.

Soo glad to have had the opportunity to experience the amazing food, ambience and service at Arbequina. When I booked my trip from Houston to Toronto the first thing I did was book a dinner date with my daughter here. We had such a wonderful experience. Everything we tried was excellent and truly delicious. Each item brought out to our table was perfection and a work of art. The service was next to none and our server made us feel like the most important people in the room. From explaining the menu to providing updates on our food and clearing/setting the table between meals, everything was handled with care and professionalism. The chef is a master artist and has created amazing creations that make your taste buds dance. When you look around the restaurant you can feel the love and care that has been taken with each decision made for the decor. This husband wife owner duo has outdone themselves and I wish them the best for years to come. Thank you for an amazing time! If you are ever in Toronto this is a must try! Cant wait to come back!

Best tapas place in Oxford! Cozy vibe and a great wine selection. We just walked in and there were spaces at the bar.

Had a wonderful brunch here! The tapas were as good as any we have found in Spain. The ambience was delightful. And the staff very friendly. Definitely recommend!

Such an incredible tapas restaurant in the more local and less touristy part of town. They have plenty of veggie options and the food is very fresh. The bread and dipping sauce where incredible and the leeks had this terrific topping with sesame seeds.

My favorite restaurant in Oxford so far. Reasonably priced and their food is really good. Me and my friend ordered according to their recommendations, and the food all turned out to be delicious. They get busier as it gets later in the night, and they're often fully booked. They take walk ins for the bar, though. They're also a sister restaurant of Oli's Thai.

Best Tapas I've had in the UK. In fact best I've had anywhere, even Spain. This is a Cowley road gem. Great wine list, lots of lovely sherry too. Owned by Door 74 and Oli's Thai, wonderful bar, great choices, you will have to book or risk sitting at the bar, if there's room.

My favourite restaurant on the Cowley Road by far; proper foodie food (and an excellent range); with excellent wines and whiskies -- definitely try the orange wine. Food is semi-tapas in style (without a specifically Spanish focus) and is all absolutely perfectly and wonderfully done. Definitely try the crispy chickpeas and the fried aubergine with pomegranate and molasses -- they sound weird but are an absolute delight. Service is always exemplary, although you may have to wait if you haven't booked. If you just turn up without a booking, definitely take the option to sit at the bar.

Probably the best value restaurant in Oxford. From the outside it is very unpretentious - in fact its signage suggests a dispensing chemist. But once inside .... great service to accompany excellent food and brilliant wine. Highly recommended.
