SEE BREAKING NEWS - “A very different sort of Thai – Ladd (Thurston) cooks the food of her homeland, sometimes influenced by her other experiences but always so tasty and delicious” (“I could bathe in the peanut sauce!”) at this beloved casual café, rated amongst the city's best since its 2013 opening. Top Tip – “the aubergine curry is a must”.

“Still the best restaurant in Oxford” – especially if you’re into Thai food – this cult café delivers grub that’s “packed with flavour, in simple surroundings at immensely reasonable prices”; accordingly, it’s “disappointingly impossible to get a table” (unless you book ages in advance).

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
