Headington, Spanish Restaurant Guide

A chemist’s shop has made way for this highly rated and hip tapas spot, established in 2016 by the crew behind oversubscribed local Oli’s Thai. Grab a spot at the long zinc bar, or enjoy cocktails and a “very Spanish wine list” at the dedicated bar, which now sits alongside the premises at no. 72.

This “relaxed French bistro offering contemporary cuisine and good service” from chef-patron Pascal Wiedermann (ex-Terroirs) and his wife Laura has established a strong niche in Summertown, north of the city centre. A meal here is “always an enjoyable experience” – on a relatively “limited” menu, top billing goes to the steak frites.
