Eating Out In Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire is a rural county, occupying about 1,000 square miles of beautiful countryside and urban market towns in southeast England. Aside from being home to the well-known Oxford University, Oxfordshire has a vast diversity of places to eat—starting with the bustling coffee shop and ending with their finest English Pub.
Plenty of coffee shops line the Oxford high street, but Café Loco is one packed little eatery that is well worth the visit for a look at its wooden interior and a taste of its extensive bistro menu.
Being in England, it’s only right to experience a taste of Indian cuisine. There are plenty of places to grab a curry in Oxfordshire, but whether you want it in a takeout bag or on a warm plate certainly makes a difference. 4500 Miles From Delphi is top class for Indian in Oxford, creating excellent traditional Indian food with great service and reasonable prices, making it a difficult dinner to pass up.
Next on the list is seafood, and what better place to enjoy some fresh fish than at Loch Fyne in Henly on Thames? Serving up some of the freshest and finest seafood grill from the west coast of Scotland, this is one chain that doesn’t skip out on detail. Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch or a dinner feast, you’ll enjoy the tastes of Loch Fyne.
Now, if you’re of the vegetarian variety, the Magic Café is one rare, all vegetarian eatery in Oxford. Not only does this little café offer homemade vegetarian dishes, but every Saturday the Magic Café hosts live music as well as monthly exhibitions from local artists. A cozy dine-in whatever the time, the Magic Café is a charming favorite.
Last but never least, is the inevitable English pub, and the Anchor has got it all. Classed as “The best pub food in Oxford” by the Good Food Guide 2011 is impressive enough, but one look at the menu and you’ll see why. Main courses like Highland venison sausages and spiced, smoked Haddock fishcakes capture the essence of the hearty English meal. Finish off with their trademark treacle tart and ginger cream, and you’ll be more than satisfied.
It goes to show, you don’t have to be in the middle of London to taste a variety of great foods. No matter what your stomach is craving, you can be sure you’ll find it in Oxfordshire.
