ABOUT

After opening nearly two decades ago in the heart of cosmopolitan Jericho, our modern bar and brasserie offers bold flavours inspired by Italy, southern Europe & beyond.

Ten minutes walk from Oxford city centre, our light-filled restaurant opens out onto a beautiful terrace garden and has the added bonus of private dining rooms.

DELI & CAFE

Formerly Gluttons and now fully immersed within Branca, our Deli has been trading for over 25 years … so we know how to create food to excite, both to eat in our beautiful cafe or to take away.

GARDEN

A hidden gem! A surprisingly large, beautiful walled garden offering a green oasis in the middle of Jericho.

Food and drink served all day, every day during the summer months.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

OUR SECOND HOME

Branca has become our favourite restaurant. Amazing staff, amazing food and lovely atmosphere. I love the mean time ales and the king prawn bruschetta is to die for. Awesome risottos, always great specials and we're made to feel so relaxed. It's rare nowadays to find a restaurant that is consistently good.

INTELLIGENT & RESTRAINED

The menu was intelligent and restrained, much better than those students deserve.

Giles Coren, The Times

DELICIOUS FOOD & AFFORDABLE PRICES

We opted to try the lunch menu and could not have chosen wiser. The offer is wide and you can mix and match as you please. We opted to try a risotto with pumpkin (spectacular), a pizza (probably the best pizza I have tried in Oxford), some vegetarian antipasti and pasta. Everything was simply delicious, and the price for the lunch menu is very affordable.

BUSY & WELCOMING

"A cheering place to be – on a cold Sunday night when all other Oxford cafés we surveyed were deserted, it was busy and welcoming”, was how one visitor summed up this good-natured all-day Italian eatery. The unfussy mood is matched by competitive prices and you can get a taste of things to come from the cicchetti (small plates of, say, king prawns or salt cod crocchette) that kick-start proceedings here. Pasta and pizza are first class, while bream, 28-day dry-aged ribeye, and specials such as “top-class’ guinea fowl supreme.
