Looking for a stylish escape from everyday life? Look no further than the snug, romantic and vibrant Kazbar in Oxford - a place that The Independent and The Times (to name but two) have showered with praise. This is a place where 'continents collide' - many of the materials used in the decor were sourced from Spain and Morocco, and the menu is brimming with a mouth-watering fusion of Spanish and North African cuisine, served in a tapas style. This and an incredible range of beverages help you to relax into the Kazbar way of life.
Wine Magazine commented that the Kazbar 'can inject sunshine into your day, even if the weather outside isn't warm', and it's true that the sun always seems to be shining at this tantalising tapas bar - and the drinks menu provides any refreshment you might need. Pop in after work and enjoy some organic, Fairtrade Ceylon tea, a Moroccan mint tea or perhaps a hibiscus infusion. Soft drinks come in the form of freshly squeezed 'limonada', fruit juices and more; the wine and spirit selection is inimitable, and tapas dishes are perfectly accompanied by a comprehensive selection of sherry (or jerez) - Kazbar offers unique treats such as the deep and smooth Rich Old Oloroso, from the bodegas Lustau, to add a spark to the flavours in your food.
Bring some friends here for that much-needed catch up, and share some mezze - smoked mackerel patéwith bread and marinated olives with pepinillos, garlic and spices perhaps - or whisper sweet nothings to a special someone over some tempting tapas. You'll find the likes of lamb, slow-cooked with rosemary, borlotti beans, tomato, garlic and white wine; creamy blue cheese from the mountains of the Picos de Europa; braised butternut squash, chickpeas and harissa; and Moroccan-recipe lamb, beef and harissa sausages with tzatkziki - everything cooked with expertise and an undeniable flair. You'll soon be making plans to return to the place The Observer named 'one of the best tapas bars in Britain'.
