First visit to this restaurant with friends. We were very impressed and as the meal proceeded and we were saying we thought we had discovered a new restaurant definitely to be visited again. Great menu, staff, service and food very good. Our caution is that live music started at about 21:15 with a girl singer on piano and guitar. Whilst... More

Upon entering the ambience and decor was refreshingly pleasant - a collection of artwork sits lightly at mezzanine height between the high beam ceiling and the top of the bar. Admittedly it wasn't full at... More

We have been to Cockadoo a few times now, usually with friends, and we all agree about the excellent standard of the food and service. Two other recent reviewers stated that the food was awful - did they turn-up at the right restaurant, I wonder? Perhaps the prices are a little on the expensive side, but as they accept the... More

We had a brilliant time at the Michael Buble tribute night to celebrate my birthday. The whole evening was great. The staff were so friendly, the food was excellent and the atmosphere great.Highly recommended and looking forward to booking again.Thank you to everyone at Cockadoo including "Mr Buble" for making the evening so enjoyable.

A refreshing change from the usual Thai/Chinese interior. This place is spacious,modern and elegant. The menu was not too varied with interesting dishes. Service was friendly, staff were chatty and interested but not obtrusive. Food was beautiful, fresh and tasty. Will definitely return!

I definitly recommed the cockadoo set menu as you get a bit of everything and only one dish is super spicy. The food was very tasty and the... More

A party of 12 booked a table for a tribute night with a set meal for only £35.00 per person! The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was so friendly and welcoming that we have booked to return for Michael Buble night! Allan and Coni, the owners, are brilliant hosts and the atmosphere is the best in Oxford. I... More
