Tucked away in the heart of Jericho, Branca has long been one of Oxford's favourite neighbourhood restaurants. Serving a menu inspired by the Mediterranean, it's known for fresh seasonal dishes, handmade pasta, wood-fired pizzas and relaxed all-day dining, whether you're stopping by for brunch, lunch or dinner.

The real hidden gem, however, is the lush Mediterranean garden tucked away at the back. Filled with greenery and bathed in sunshine on warmer days, it's one of the city's most sought-after alfresco dining spots. Whether you're lingering over weekend brunch, sharing a bottle of wine with friends or enjoying a long summer evening meal, Branca's garden feels like a little escape from the bustle of Oxford.
