This restaurant is beautiful, it has an amazing elegance. I had the a steak which was amazing! Sadly I wasn’t a fan of the side dish which was an arugula/rocket leaf salad. We also ordered the chicken Parmesan and it was absolutely delicious. Both the chicken and pasta was amazing. The service was kind and friendly. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

Honestly, Quod is an Oxford staple mostly because the location on High Street and the vibrant, art-filled vibe are hard to beat. It’s always buzzing, and if the weather plays nice, their hidden garden terrace is genuinely one of the best spots in town for a drink or an outdoor lunch.

Food-wise, it’s reliable but plays it pretty safe. You’ll get solid, well-cooked British and European classics, the steaks and Sunday roasts are always a safe bet—but it's not going to blow your mind with anything groundbreaking. Just keep in mind that it can get pretty loud when it's packed, and it's definitely on the pricier side for what it is.

Wonderful restaurant for a weekday treat. The spaghettini was the reason for booking this restaurant and I'm glad I did. I had this delightful Chardonnay as well. Atmosphere high-end cozy and professional, the smallest details making the biggest impact. The view was marvellous. Good service with attentive caring staff.

Very accommodating to our large group. Great service and atmosphere but food could be better. The cheeseburger patty was not as tender. Chicken and steak dishes were good. Our server Manuela was exceptional with a can-do attitude. It's quite a large space with lots of artwork and comfortable seating.

In a city where history presses in from every cobbled street, Quod makes a confident case for the classic brasserie experience. It’s a pleasant spot for lunch right in the heart of Oxford—buzzy without being frantic, polished without feeling stiff. The real draw is the set menu, which offers noticeably better value and plays to the kitchen’s strengths with simple, well-executed dishes. Step outside that menu, though, and the pricing starts to feel ambitious for what arrives on the plate. Enjoyable, certainly, but at full price it leans more towards convenience and location than culinary generosity.
