ABOUT
An independent tapas-style restaurant and bar. With a focus on quality produce and service, innovative ideas and exciting atmosphere. Carefully created and cared for food, hand-crafted and unique cocktails, wines, sherries & beers in a welcoming and warm environment.

Oxford is an amazing place, with a beautiful collection of independent businesses and communities. It has a great hospitality scene, that is growing with more passionate and exciting sites – which is great to be a part of and help evolve.

Arbequina is one of my favourite places to have a relaxed meal with friends and guarantees an amazing taste experience. The atmosphere is really welcoming and I always leave looking forward to when I can return!
– Wendy Welpton, Owner at Reclaim Movement


I love Arbequina! It’s a buzzy neighbourhood restaurant, perfect for catching up with friends over some great food and awesome wine. As a veggie, I feel well catered for with amazing plates such as aubergine, whipped feta, molasses and pomegranate, and courgette, spring onions, romesco and smoked almonds. Yum!

Arbequina – simply perfect tapas, lovely interiors, always welcoming & a real treat after a days work. They do amazing things with aubergines, the tortilla is the best we’ve ever had, & the desserts are fantastic , especially the Santiago tart is a must.
– Miri Allen, Co-Owner at Babylon Trading


Our go-to place – brilliant atmosphere, amazing food and lovely staff who are always so attentive and welcoming. Probably the best restaurant in Oxford!

One of my favourite places to eat in Oxford is Arbequina – the food is STUNNING and the sultry vibe works perfectly from day to night. So many dishes you don’t want to miss, but the specials are always worth trying too.
