Mediterranean Restaurants in Headington
1. Arbequina
Spanish restaurant in Oxford
74 Cowley Rd - OX4
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.
2. Quod
British, Modern restaurant in Oxford
92-94 High St - OX1
A “perfect” location right in the centre of town is one of the draws to this “spacious” and “buzzy” fixture, set in the Old Bank Hotel, and also profiting from a “lovely” rear terrace. It’s one of the more commented-on spots in town, although the “well thought-out” brasserie fare is arguably “solid”… “nothing wrong with it”. Still, it’s “worth booking to avoid disappointment” (not least come graduation, when it tends to “get packed”).
3. Olivier at the Red Lion
British, Modern restaurant in Britwell Salome
2023 Review: Chef-patron Olivier Bouet, who had presented “excellent rustic French cuisine” at this Chilterns village gastropub for five years, recently moved on, and the new owners reopened in July 2022, announcing their plans for an ‘eclectic modern British menu with South African influence and popular grill favourites. Every item on the menu will be made on the premises’. It’s a big change of style, hence for the time being we’ve left it unrated.
