Places to Eat in Oxfordshire

Oxfordshire's dining scene runs from centuries-old coaching inns to the kind of city-centre spots you'd expect in a university town. Oxford itself holds the greatest concentration, with everything from quick café stops like Greens Cafe to more considered places such as Pompette and the Ashmolean Rooftop Restaurant and Cafe, the latter making the most of its position above one of the city's museums.

Beyond Oxford, the county's towns and villages offer their own mix of pubs and cafés, from Upper Heyford through to the wider county's market towns, where a good pub often doubles as the social hub. Whether you're after a proper Sunday roast, a curry house like Chaa Affaire, or somewhere more casual for coffee and cake, the choice reflects Oxfordshire's blend of rural tradition and city sophistication.
