I love tapas because I'm awful at making up my mind what to choose in a restaurant. This is the…read moreperfect solution - lots of little dishes to share! I went in on a Saturday lunchtime and found the service very efficient without feeling rushed. It was surprisingly quiet, so we forgot about the world around and were able to concentrate on the delicious food. The dishes are in the range of about £3.50 - £5.50 each and they're usually split into 2-3 bits, so can be shared if necessary. I recommend getting bread as well - it's great for soaking up sauces and is nice, soft ciabatta style with tomato sauce to dip it in. Particularly recommended: - deep-fried chicken soaked in garlic - not at all greasy and very tasty - potato with layers of goats cheese, ham and tomato - prawns with scrambled egg and asparagus (much, much taster than it sounds!) The sangria comes with a good amount of fruit in it and at £3 a glass is cheap and plenty enough to last a meal (if you can resist another one, anyway!). All in all a really nice place if you're into tapas and a great introduction if you've never tried it.

Fantastic! I love this place - a brilliant selection of hot and cold tapas with a range of drinks…read morein a very stylish room. My favourites are the selection of cheese, the garlic prawns and the little ham croquettes. Try a jug of sangria with it - it's very well done here and compliments the food greatly. This is a lovely place, decorated in a way inkeeping with the food and very private. The tables are well spaced, so you don't feel cramped or overheard. I like this place for dates or for a meal with a good mate. Always busy, so best to book it unless you've got time to have a drink at the bar first (which is no bad thing here). Go for a great, relaxed meal on one of Oxford's loveliest streets.

It's a warm and cozy place. I liked that the server kept checking on the fire to keep it alive and burning. We had Spanish omelette, ratatouille, prawn dynamite, white wine prawns, chicken croquettes, Patata bravas, stacked glazed eggplant, haloumi fries (complimentary). Everything was good! You might think of tapas as tiny little assortments on a plate, but here you get proper portions. I left very full. Not too far off from how it's done in Spain. Hot toddy didn't have much whiskey in it, would not get again. The only thing I didn't like is when bar staff in an empty bar take your order from 100 yards behind the counter, forcing me to shout my order out - just walk over to where I sit Ok!

Anyway, it isn't all that bad, but on the other hand it really didn't blow me away either. A part of me wonders whether I can consider it a railway pub, except for the fact that it really isn't all that close to the railway station.

It's located down a sweet alleyway and is so rustic and beautiful both on the outside and inside. I highly recommend getting a reservation weeks in advance, as every restaurant in the town was completely booked up every single night of the week (good for them!). We didn't have a reservation, but we arrived around 3pm, so they were empty at that time. I never expected to find amazing Spanish tapas in England, but these were sheer perfection. The menu was probably the best menu I've ever seen, and we both agreed that we'd order literally anything on it. We ordered mushroom croquettes, jamon croquettes, iberico jamon plate, pulpo (octopus), patatas bravas, steak, and olives. Keep in mind that these are small plates, so you'll want to order 2-3 per person. We looooooved everything we tried, with the mushroom croquettes and jamon plate being our favorites. The bread looked amazing too. Highly recommend! We'll come back if we're ever in the area again!

Fun restaurant. Very buzzy at night, more mellow during the day…read more The menu is made up of all sorts of tapas style food from all ocer the world, and steaks. Hummus, meatballs, shrimp, tempura are examples of 20 or so choices. You can order any number of dishes, each od which is large snack size. We ordered meatballs, vegetable tempura, honey spiced chicken wings, olives and spice rubbed chips. Each dish was as tasty as the other. Service was wonderful, immediate and very friendly. But we went in at 2pm on Saturday, so the place was very quiet, which meant the staff were not busy at the time. Nice food, fun and lovely service. Reasonable price (£30 for the meal, which included one large glass of wine). Highly recommend.

Between 4 of us we ordered 14 dishes including roast tomatoes with halloumi, chorizo with goats cheese, lambs kidney toasts, cider braised pigs cheeks, plaice goujons with lemon mayo, mexican wrap, roasted vegetable kebabs. Prices range from £2.75 to £3.95 per dish and everything was well-cooked and very tasty. It's a great concept and if you've ever read a menu and wanted more than 1 thing on it or just wanted a whole bunch of starters, - you'll love this.

Nice crowd here too. A day later I returned with my wife just around their closing time and while they had indeed closed up for the night - the staff was having their end-of-week toasts - they STILL very hospitable allowed us to sit and enjoy a glass or 2, rather than simply asking us to leave.

Want to try a bit of everything instead of just one main dish? Higgin's Pantry is the place! It offers a variety of Italian (and Mediterranean) dishes in tapas-portion, as well as full-sized pizzas and pasta if you want just mains to yourself. Or you can do it family-style, order from both and share! The food reminds me of something that would come out of Nonna's kitchen. Nothing spectacular but tasty and filling. The complimentary bruschetta at the start was perfect to whet the appetite. The portion size is bountiful; you can easily share a regular-sized pasta between two and ensure you save room for dessert. The tapas come in generous portion sizes; make sure to give the baby calzone a try. When we dined there one evening, there was a group of merry Italien men having a great time at Higgin's at the table behind us. I think that's an impressive endorsement!
