Our friends booked a table for celebrating graduation of our sons from the University of Oxford, a big milestone which required to carefully select a nice venue. Oxford town city center restaurants were all packed, so we headed a bit outside and ventured into a Spanish Restaurant. The staff and particularly the owner or the female manager were amazing, so welcoming, natural and making you feel like home … a truly Mediterranean feeling of “family”. We took advise of her recommendations and had an amazing feast of different cold, hot and sweet tapas, gambas and the braised ox cheek with friend potatoes. The friend artichokes with homemade chili paste – simply WOW. The table was on a terrace, so for the smokers this was heaven while enjoying the fresh air. The Cava Sparkling from Spain was a nice recommendation as well. Amazing evening, truly not disappointed and we shall be back at our next trip to Oxford. They even called me back during their resting hours in the afternoon and arranged us a car parking spot.
A cute Spanish tapas restaurant in the centre of Summertown.
The interior deco is stylish and cosy. Enough space between tables for us to enjoy our conversation.
The food is good. We ordered 5 dishes to share between 2 girls (3 smaller ones from the 1st page of menu, 1 sea dish and 1 meat). Right amount for us.
The waiters are very friendly! Will come back.
A minor point is quite a few dishes are not available. I guess it’s because it wasn’t very busy and they were scaling down the materials.
Visited twice already and always really satisfied.
Roasted leek is absolutely tasty and would order again (if any left!). Fried whitebait is a good match with cold beer or wine. Basque cheesecake makes lovely finish. 😋
Lovely tapas place. Would defo go back 👍🏻
P.s. Only reduced 1star because of bread. It’s a tapas place, and it’d be great either offering a little complimentary bread or reducing bread cost. Few pieces of basic bread costing £3.xx is a little costly.
My Spanish friend who accompanied me here didn’t approve this, while he was really happy with their food. 😂
