Door 74, Oxford Just a few second’s stroll from The Plain on Oxford’s famous and central Cowley Road, Door 74 is the perfect European bistro with all the charm one would expect. With its modern boho styling, all chichi chandeliers and verdant palms, eclectic art and old fireplaces, Door 74 is extremely well suited to the Oxford crowd; the moneyed students and the yummy mummies, the bookish bohemians and the fashionable foodies. Thumbing its nose at the numerous nearby chains with their conveyor belt food and characterless interiors, Door 74 is an escape from the boring and the bland, offering an ever changing and original chalkboard menu featuring home-cooked dishes that conjure up flavours and aromas in the diner’s mind before they even reach the table. Expect plenty of Mediterranean inspiration as well as French brasserie sophistication and even a touch of Scandinavian freshness too. Of particular note are the kitchen’s absolutely unmissable desserts – divine!

Fire and Stone, Oxford Pizza lovers in the Oxford area will already be familiar with this Italian institution on George Street which spans two floors and is famous for its pizza toppings which take you on a journey across the globe from Bombay to Byron Bay. Fire and Stone’s exotic pizza toppings are guaranteed to impress the most adventurous foodies, and the restaurant itself is a grand space decorated with marble floors, plum-coloured walls and plenty of glass, mirrors and bright colours. We prefer the loungey atmosphere of the downstairs dining room which comes complete with a backlit bar and booths – but the whole restaurant is a child-friendly space that is also suitable for business dining and group celebrations.

The Randolph, Oxford Among Oxford’s most renowned dining destinations, The Randolph Hotel’s eponymous restaurant is as popular with the locals as it is with residents of the five star hotel. Typically Oxfordian, complete with views of the city’s infamous spires and the Ashmolean Museum which stands just across the road, The Randolph is a traditional, attractively decorated restaurant with majestic mouldings, gilt framed portraits and roaring fireplaces all reminiscent of a grand baronial hall. The Randolph boasts two AA rosettes plus a wealth of other distinctions from those in the know, all earned not only thanks to the surroundings but for the exacting service and triumphant all-British cuisine. Post-dinner enjoy a drink in Morse’s Bar, named after the city’s most famous detective.

Spice Lounge, Oxford Located in trendy Summertown in Oxford, the Spice Lounge is a firm favourite with local curry connoisseurs. The chef is passionate about fresh ingredients and fragrant spices so the food here is packed full of authentic flavours. The menu features classics like lamb bhuna and chicken tikka masala, but we recommend the delicious dishes from the clay oven like succulent tandoori prawns. Why not try one of their signature dishes, like minced lamb curry served as hot as you like. The dining room is sleek and contemporary, with slate floors, subtle lighting and brown leather chairs – perfect for low-key lunches and laid-back dinners with family and friends. In the warmer months, diners can sit outside on the terrace and enjoy an alfresco biryani!
