For years Pierre Victoire has been Oxford's busiest and best-loved truly independent restaurant, and we have earned a reputation that we are proud of. It's nice to be recognised by organisations like Hardens, but more important to us is the opinion of our customers, who consistently make us No 1 on review sites like Trip Advisor, and voted us winner of the inaugural Oxfordshire Restaurant Awards, Public Vote. These accolades are a tribute to our dedicated team, many of whom have been with us for years, and take a great pride in what they do, whether they are cooking the food, or serving it.

The Bear Inn has the proud distinction of being Oxford’s oldest surviving pub, whose history can be traced back as early as 1242. The site has undergone many name changes and physical reincarnations – the pub, as it currently stands, was rebuilt in the early 17th century as the residence of the coaching inn’s ostler. As well as being recognised for its impressive historical record, The Bear Inn is also known for its somewhat unexpected yet impressive collection of old ties, representing sports teams, colleges and university clubs, as well as the large number of global visitors who have dropped by, eager to contribute to the collection. The tie snippets are now framed and line the walls and ceilings, beneath which visitors can linger over a pint of real ale on tap or tuck into a delicious Sunday roast.

The Eagle and Child has deep roots in Oxford’s history. Fondly referred to by locals and students as The Bird and Baby, this rustic little pub dates back to the 17th century, when it was reportedly used as the lodgings for the Chancellor of the Exchequer during the English Civil War. The pub is arguably best known however, as the meeting place of the Inklings, a literary group including J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, who would regularly meet in the Rabbit Room at the back of the pub to discuss their own and other works of literature. Today, the pub retains the same cosy, quaint charm which attracted this group and is the perfect place to relax over a pint and burger while soaking in the local history.

Freud; Stunning, awe-inspiring, magnificent: these are only some of the words that come to mind when first confronted by Freud, one of Oxford’s most popular cocktail bars. The bar is housed inside the majestic St Paul’s Church in Jericho, an impressive building designed in 1836 by Henry Jones Underwood in the Greek Revival style, featuring a large portico and towering columns, between which are now nestled tables and chairs for outdoors dining and drinks. The interior is equally astonishing and retains the antique church aesthetic – seating is arranged in clusters beneath an extraordinarily high ceiling, with ambient lighting illuminating intricate stained glass windows and dramatic hanging banners. The drinks complement the beautiful setting, with a range of creative, quirky cocktails made with the freshest of ingredients.

Located in Oxford’s trendy Jericho area, The Old Bookbinders is an excellent example of the traditional Oxonion pub – cosy, quirky and welcoming. The atmosphere is eccentric and full of character, with an old toy train set suspended from the ceiling and the walls and ceiling covered with music posters and memorabilia. The pub continues this theme in its events, holding regular open mic nights for locals, students and visitors to come and perform. Although The Old Bookbinders eschews the term gastropub, preferring to keep its image and menu down-to-earth and simple, its French-influenced pub fare is undeniably delicious. Steaks, seafood and an outstanding variety of crêpes fill the menu, and can be accompanied by one of their many wines, an ale or a crisp cider.

One of Oxford’s newest additions to the pub scene, having only been established in 2009, The Rusty Bicycle has nevertheless established itself as a quirky neighbourhood staple and is fast becoming one of the most popular destinations in Oxford for a pint and a meal.

The pub has a long list of famous patrons, from the fictional, such as Colin Dexter’s Inspector Morse and Brideshead Revisited’s Charles Ryder, to the real, including Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Bill Clinton, all of whom have enjoyed the Tavern’s maze of interconnected rooms, wide range of guest ales and large, heated beer gardens. The pub has a year round, lively atmosphere, with locals, tourists and students alike crowding around tables to socialise and sample the traditional English pub fare. The Turf Tavern is also a popular post-exam celebration spot, so come June keep an eye out out for ecstatic students covered in confetti and cradling their first pint in weeks.

this place is lovely I always try and come here when I am in Oxford. This garden is better earlier in the Summer (June / July probably the peak) but the fruit and veg plots are interesting as is the 'dry' garden which is not watered nor fed and still grows so well. The Victorian glasshouses have a lot of interest too and the pond is beautiful. The river location is great and you can get here by walking through Christ Church Meadow which is a nice stroll. An hour here should suffice, more if you bring a picnic.
