Picoteo - Oxford

A nice bar for paella and tapas in the middle of oxford city, I would recommend it for anyone who likes to eat Spanish, or would like to taste some Spanish dishes. the ambiente at al andalus is beautiful and the service was excellent. we tried two hot tapas dishes. 2. spicy king prawn in olive oil garlic, and would definitely recommend this to them. the patatas band (potato cube with cool tomato sauce and garlic mayonnaise) is also amazing, and would definitely recommend that al andalus visits. ps vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available.

Attentive staff found us a table during a very busy afternoon when we didn't have a reservation. A very good selection of tapas, with many very tasty vegan options. Docking a star for a lack of a good vegan desert option, but I'd still come back here in the future.

Nice place. Nice music in background. Calamari and peppers and meatballs. Very nice indeed. The bread was fresh from the oven.. Chocolate cake dessert with coffee was very good. Staff very nice.

Really loved this place. Lovely court yard out the back of the restaurant. Staff were very nice. The choice of food was great and it was all really tasty. Would certainly recommend.

"This is a cozy and welcoming little restaurant featuring Andalusian decor. There were three of us, and we ordered nine tapas, two desserts, a cheese board, and two types of drinks. The tapas I highly recommend include the bacon-wrapped dates. There are two varieties on the menu: one with steak and one without. The waiter assured us they were completely different, but the only noticeable difference was that one was skewered and included a piece of steak. Also worth mentioning are the deep-fried medallions of goat cheese drizzled with honey. Their texture was fantastic, and I loved the sweet and savory combination. These paired perfectly with a glass of sangria. On the downside, we ordered the pinchos de cordero al limón (lamb skewers), which I found to be very dry and slightly burnt. For dessert, we chose all three items available from the dessert and cheese menu, since those were the only options. The chocolate mousse truffle surpassed the Spanish-style crème brûlée. The cheese board, especially paired with Pedro Ximénez, was delightful. In terms of cost, our meal came to about £45 per person, including drinks. Without drinks, £40 would be sufficient."
