Gourdans Steak Frites Restaurant

Such a lovely atmosphere and amazing steaks! Would recommend to anyone looking for a quality steak in Oxford. Fries and salads were also delicious with a good selection of drinks.

Lovely lovely steak. Very friendly front of house. Great atmosphere. Felt oh so welcome. My steak was very good. No sauce just the steak. Yum yum.
Cheesecake is home made too. Delicious!
Came with a little pot of rhubarb sauce. I thought it would have a cheffy name like compote or something. It's a burst of rhubarb in your face amazing.

What an absolutely delightful little place!

The friendly welcome and atmosphere made my daughter and I feel instantly at home.

The quality of sirloin steak (done medium well) was just perfect I had mine with dauphinoise potato and the peppercorn sauce. Every bite of everything on my plate had its own individual taste and flavour, all from fresh ingredients bursting with colour.

We enjoyed a shared starter of Racklett from the server's recommendation and it was just perfect. Every mouth full just burst with flavour from the cardamom to the bulbs of garlic and beyond with the Swiss cheese topping. The dish was made up of pickled vegetables, Jersey potatoes and a small pot of beef jus.

There was also an extensive choice of wines to complement every dish and course too.
I asked for an unchilled zero alcohol beer and it was no trouble at all.

We had no room for dessert but the pic shows the choices.

If I had one criticism it would be that they only serve skinny frites and no chunky chips.

I can't wait to revisit this little gem of a restaurant.

What a find! Starters were super tasty, really enjoyed the scallops and burrata. We ordered a T-bone steak and we were not disappointed - cooked to perfection. 100% recommendable! Not to mention the owner who we spoke with who was very lovely and welcoming. Thanks for a fab lunch! (Open one in harpenden)

Absolutely fantastic steak, my partner and I shared a 680g picanha steak which was cooked (medium rare) to perfection. It was excellently seasoned and so flavourful, definitely high quality meat. One of the best steaks I have ever had! The frites were also delicious and well seasoned.
The restaurant is tastefully decorated and has a lovely ambience. Highly recommended!

Best steak ever!! Packed full of flavour and cooked to perfection. The burrata was delicious to start with to. Good quality and fair price. Staff very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

The porterhouse was the best steak I have ever tasted. The chalkboard’s claim that few adornments are needed was well-placed, it was simply sensational. The fried courgette starter was fantastic too.

Small steak restaurant in St Clements. We ordered the fillet steak special plate priced at £30 each. They stock halal steaks which are matured on Willowbrook Farm and do not have to be pre-ordered (we booked a table on the day). Fries were nice. Fair price for quality and quantity of steaks, would recommend. Service was good. Peppercorn sauce could be improved. Thanks so much for being inclusive to our dietary requirements and providing entertainment for our 2 year old!

Can’t recommend highly enough! Hidden gem. Wonderful service, beautiful interior and atmosphere, food is absolutely delicious. Picanha rump is wonderful. I work in a restaurant and everything was top notch. Thanks Tina and team.

If you like steak this is the place to go. Steaks cooked to your liking. Delicious sauce and sensational fries. Really good service. Recommended place to eat while in Oxford.

We had the T-bone steak, delicious and tender! Great service, great wine!
We will return when in Oxford.

Knowledgeable friendly staff.
FANTASTIC food.
We had the rump cap steak which was absolutely divine!!

My boyfriend treated me to a birthday dinner here, and everything was perfect. Staff is super accommodating, gave us freezing cold water when we arrived sweaty and hot as well as moved us under the AC. They’re one of the few restaurants I’ve discovered in this city to have grenadine, which automatically puts them on my happy list, plus their steak is absolutely perfect. Totally worth the price, beautifully cut and cooked, and completely melt in your mouth delicious. We asked for some vanilla gelato to go since we had birthday cake at home, but they gave us a surprise chocolate mousse with a candle. It wasn’t asked for and incredibly kind, and very low key. This place is perfect for a special dinner, or if you just want some perfect steak.

Hi, we are touring England and are from Australia where good beef is plentiful. The steaks at Gourdans were excellent. The salads, vegetables and chips were first class. Well done. Our best meal in Britain.

Great little steakhouse serving well presented and really tasty steak! Had a friend visit from the US and needed to find a top notch steakhouse for dinner. Gourdans did not disappoint. The T Bone sharer was delicious! Friendly service and a great wine selection. Will definitely visit again.

Amazing evening and brilliant service. Everyone was very welcoming and lovely. We had a delicious Cotswold Garden cocktail while waiting for our perfectly cooked CAP steak. The suggestion of meat portion for 2 was ideal and each dish comes with a mix of sides that leaves you full but not overly full. The price of the special cut meat was clear and easily to identify, so no surprise when our bill came! Great place and lovely atmosphere. Absolutely recommend :)

We didn't have a booking and were short on time but the staff were amazing!
They fitted us in and we got our food very quickly. The food was awesome!
Will definitely go again when we have more time to soak up the atmosphere as well as the excellent food and wine.

We loved the food so much, we booked for 2 consecutive nights - and had zero regrets. We first discovered Gourdans via their food truck at an event last year. We just knew we had to go back to their bricks and mortar restaurant, and they did not disappoint. Super lovely front of house with lots of knowledge if you have questions about the various cuts. The steaks were mouth wateringly delicious, and we will definitely be back

Wow what an amazing find. I usually don’t go out that often as it’s so hard to find a place that does genuinely good food. This place was amazing, fantastic steaks with outstanding service and excellent value for money.
Will definitely be back

Beautiful meal, great and friendly service. Atmosphere in restaurant is lovely too.
