The Best Restaurants In Oxford - Oxford - The Infatuation

"Opera has been around for more than 10 years, but the spicy chicken wraps never get old. This lively North African cafe in Jericho is just as ideal for a quick morning coffee or a gooey lunchtime toastie, as it is a mid-afternoon slice of carrot cake and freshly squeezed apple juice. Walk through to the back and grab a seat in their covered terrace for a nice lunch. Inside, people tap away on laptops and out front, coffee catch-ups always go on a little longer than they were supposed to. There’s a lot on their menu, but our tried-and-tested favourite is the spicy chicken wrap. The chicken is wrapped in soft, flaky msemen flatbread and toasted until the cheese is all melty. Get one per person, minimum." - rianne shlebak

The cutest little café with a small but interesting choice of food (breakfast dishes some variant of eggs benedict, see pic of them on mushrooms), and for lunch soup and a bunch of amazing wraps. Great fresh juices as well as coffees. Great staff! Seating outside, inside and through and down to a little "garden" area, all cosy and cute.

Small cozy cafe. Halal food. Friendly staff. Fast service. Great ambiance. Really delicious Falafel sandwich; never tasted Falafel like that before. They have wifi with decent speed.

A lovely cafe perfect for those seeking a small, intimate setting. The staff are exceptionally friendly and go above and beyond to ensure you're satisfied. Their wide menu caters to all tastes, and everything they serve is second to none. Those in or near Jericho should absolutely attend Opera Cafe for their morning meal.

Solid little cafe with great menu. Can provide gluten free bread! No gluten free pastries o desserts though. I would recommend sitting in the back patio, very lovely and quaint. Food is simple, not a home run.

I order an omelette with salmon, the salmon and eggs where ok but the toast was super hard, it was an old bread and impossible to eat without force. I don’t know about their other foods but I cannot recommend this place when there’s other places to choose.

Welcome to Moroccan-vibe breakfast! One of the early-morning cafe you can find around Oxford town. I highly recommend the roasted/spicy chicken wrap, they are amazing! English breakfast tea is outstanding too. They are many seats available. Please also try their sweet buns. Good news for my Muslim friends, this cafe is halal 👏🏼

A cozy corner for coffee or brunch! The menu is quite extensive (especially considering the size of the place). We got coffees and toasties. I was not impressed by the coffee (I got a latte), but the food was fresh and delicious! The portions were generous too. I am keen to return to try their brunch menu (everything looked amazing!). There are three sitting area sections, including an outdoor patio. The staff was cordial, helpful, and quick with our order. The prices were reasonable for the serving sizes. I highly recommend them for a quick bite or brunch!

[REVIEW WRITTEN: 4/8] Tiny place, but this place has a BIG punch! :) This place has a wide variety of food for such a small hole-in-the-wall-location. Recommended by a friend as a fave and is a must try! The Deets: + Tons of selection for a small place. Order the chicken wrap (small side salad too) and fresh-squeezed OJ - epic portion with great taste. + Wi-Fi available, cozy cafe to work or study at. + 2 floors of sitting area, plus there is a covered outdoor seating area too. :) + Love that the servers the first question is asking if you have any food sensitivities! + Breakfast and lunch dishes Now go there...and let me know how you digs (or not)!

This is a really cute cafe! I love the outdoor seating, though it does fill up quite a bit. The staff is also really nice, and there is quite an array of food and drinks you can order. Also a really great place to get work done. I personally haven't tried their chai, but I've heard good things about it. Will hopefully be back soon!

Helpful tips: They have a student discount! This is an adorable cafe, and one that I really, really wanted to love. Customer service is wonderful, drinks and food are good, atmosphere is wonderful (music choice and natural lighting)! It's a great place to study. My one qualm is the fact that they cook food on the first floor where all the seating areas are (there are also some in the basement but that means no natural lighting), meaning that there are a lot of grease fumes. It gets in your hair, your clothes, and can be hard to breathe in if you're sensitive to oil fumes, especially because it's a small cafe. I'd love to come back, but I've been here twice and have had to leave earlier than I like because I simply couldn't stand it. If you're not sensitive to those things, this is otherwise a wonderful cafe.

Nice cafe in a quaint part of Oxford! Likes: - very friendly service - amazing north African music - delicious looking pastries - interesting menu items like shakshuka - wifi! Dislikes: - coffee wasn't very good - unappealing interior and plates which took away from the experience. Will be back for more food because it was absolutely delicious- for a quick breakfast :)

One of my favorite cafes in town, both to sit and work or to meet a friend for lunch. Delicious middle eastern food if you're looking for something hearty, as well as a lovely range of coffee/tea and desserts. The staff are always cheerful and nice and the whole atmosphere is relaxed but in a sophisticated, Oxford sort of way. I also love the posters they have up, the raccoon in sunglasses is my favorite.

Trust me - I've tried every place in Oxford and this is the only one I go back to... and at least twice a week! Best coffee in town, delicious pastries and food, excellent service, great prices.

Nice small little cafe, great for brunch, vegetarian options are fantastic. Don't bring too many friends tho - it is really tiny and waiting time might get long...

Poor, very poor service! I ordered soup and when paying saw an offer for a half panini, so asked if I can have that as well, the owner said yes. Waitress gives me the price out of the blue, which is not the difference between the deal and what I have just paid. I said what it should be, she charged me this amount. Then I am still standing there and both the waitress and the owner started chatting and make coffees, backs to me, completely ignoring me. Soup was served as a takeaway. They both clearly forgotten about the sandwich. Finally the owner reaches to the panini, and wants to grill it, I am watching him, and saying 'I thought you must have forgotten about it'. He goes on about another order that he has to serve before me. Well, he hasn't finished serving me yet!!!! At that point I was annoyed with the service and asked to leave a feedback, he nervously picked up a pen and a note, then changed his mind and threw money at me, and said he refuses to serve me and asks to leave!!!!!!!! That evening the café was quiet, all 4 customers overheard the conversation. It is appalling place with disguising service and revolting attitude!
