One of the best eateries in Oxford. Amazing cocktails, great service small but well balanced menu. Love everything about this place, except it's often fully booked!

Overall very positive experience - service was excellent, food was good, fair price. The only disappointment was the patatas bravas which I can't recommend ordering

Have the sea bream, the bread, the hen's egg, and finish with the Santiago tart. Amazing!

Really well executed food in a friendly and unpretentious space. Bloody ruddy

Excellent - the pictures don't get anywhere near to doing the flavours any justice and the service is spot on, prompt and attentive but not pushy.
My bf (yeah guys I’m taken sorry) made a reservation here months in advance and it’s on the Michelin guide or whatever so my expectations were simultaneously high and low- like how good can it be? And it was gooodddd. Every dish felt so interesting and unique and the flavours just weren’t like typical restaurant fare. Chickpea salad was an unexpected fav- how did they get them so crispy yet so light? And the aubergine’s molasses sauce was so different! Next time need to get the chorizo because the bits in the stew were the best I’ve ever had. And basque cheesecake to top it all off- MWAH! So yum so fun.

Definitely worth Michelin Star! Ordered one of the desserts randomly and I liked it. I have to have a full experience next time!

I have been waiting a while to try Arbequina, after almost 4 weeks since booking, I was thrilled to try it as many people talked so highly about it.Staff was delightful, attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is fun, cozy and relaxing.But food was not up to the expectations: we ordered different tapas, to try vegetarian and meat options and have been disappointed by all of them. Lack of flavour was the common factor of all dishes, besides the onion tortilla that was nice and balanced, but no “wow factor” that would make me want to order it again.I haven’t found much of the Spanish food I know, their flavours and spices and I left disappointed.

We had such a nice evening last night. The atmosphere was spot on and the food was exquisite- some of the best I have had for a long time. Our favourite dishes were the pork, aubergine and the chicken thighs! Thank you for a fab dinner :)
