Had a great dinner with amazingly delicious food and good wine list. The pinnacle of the dinner of course was the service, lovely Vanessa was very thoughtful and gave just enough of attention to make us feel comfortable and taken care of.

A very nice place, good service and very delicious food. Quite acceptable prices for the center of Oxford.

I absolutely love this place. My wife and I plan on coming back here the next time we come to visit from the US. The staff here is accommodating and friendly. We visited the restaurant for the first time with our 5 month old child. The host didn’t have a problem finding us a spot to sit toward the back of the dining area even though the restaurant was mostly full. The food was fantastic. Overall a very pleasant experience.
Dietary restrictions: The waitress asked if we had any food allergies and was ready to accommodate for most anything we ordered.

Visited Quod on a damp Saturday afternoon. It was wet and cold outside so tumbled into Quod of the off chance they had a table. When we went in there were spaces in the restaurant, but it took 10-15 minutes of so to get us to a table. If there hadn't been spaces I wouldn't have mentioned this. When we did get a seat the service was polite and attentive and reasonably quick. Again there was a bit of a wait for the food but the wait was worth it as the food was very nice. The atmosphere was good with a lively but not too nopisy hubub. Would definetly visit again. Pricing wasnt bad for somewhere like Oxford which is going to be pricey anyway. Presentation and quality was excellent

My recent visit to Quod Restaurant & Bar in Oxford was an exquisite culinary experience that beautifully combined sophistication with a relaxed atmosphere.
Food: To start, I enjoyed a beautifully presented pate, served with toasted bread and a small side of greens. The pate was rich and creamy with a velvety texture, perfectly balanced by the crispiness of the toasted bread. The accompanying chutney added a delightful sweetness that enhanced the flavors of the dish.
For the main course, I opted for the steak and fries. The steak was tender and cooked to a perfect medium-rare, just as I had requested. Each bite was full of flavor, and the meat was juicy and succulent. The fries were golden and crisp, providing a satisfying crunch with every bite. The peppercorn sauce served on the side added a lovely, warming spice that complemented the steak beautifully. The small side salad was fresh and added a nice touch of lightness to the dish.
Service: The service at Quod was impeccable. The staff were attentive and courteous, ensuring that my dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. They were quick to accommodate my requests and provided service with a genuine smile, making me feel welcomed and valued.
Atmosphere: The restaurant’s setting is both stylish and comfortable, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely meal. The outdoor seating area is charming and allows for a lovely view of the bustling streets of Oxford, while still feeling like a private retreat.
Overall: Quod Restaurant & Bar is a gem in the heart of Oxford. The combination of excellent food, attentive service, and a delightful atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a refined yet relaxed dining experience.
I feel like I’ve been to this place so many times before. You walk in to a beautiful restaurant, with its nice setting that breadths class. But the further into the journey you go, you get the feeling it’s just a mirage.
To start with, the service we had on the night was the very bare minimum. They felt a bit disengaged and weren’t very attentive. I would expect a little bit more from a place like this.
As for the food, it’s ok. It doesn’t taste bad in anyway but I would expect a bit more at this price point. Most disappointing was the steak. I was there with a group of friends, where several of us had steaks for mains. We all ordered different preparations for it (from medium to rare). Cutting them up at the same time, it was impossible to tell which one was suppose to be which. Perhaps a minor details for some, but if you’re at a place where they ask you how you want it: I also hope to get it.
All in all, it’s not a terrible experience. But I have to say, leaving the restaurant after 2.5h, I walked out with a lighter wallet and with a slight feeling of disappointment.
- Value for money? No - Worth a detour? No - Best for (occasion)? Corporate dinner - Would I go back? Unlikely

I chose a restaurant blindly on the walk and walked in after seeing a lot of locals (I speak from experience). I have been in the UK for half a month and it was one of the best lunches I had. The cappuccino was full of milk and the risotto was delicious. Light and delicious, every ingredient of cod, red pepper and broccoli is delicious, highly recommended!

I took two friends for a meal to celebrate their birthdays and they both said it was the best meal they had had in a long while. The food was delicious, well cooked and presented. The service was friendly and very efficient. Finally the atmosphere was very pleasant and allowed for a convivial evening to be had. Housed in a historic building it was nice to see some original features included in the decor. We will certainly be back and would definitely like to try the terrace next time. Well done to all and many thanks for making the evening so memorable

I have not eaten dinner here, but have had breakfast on two occasions and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The Poached Eggs, Cornish Crab and Avocado is exceptional.
