Browns Cafe

I was so glad to finally found this cafe inside the Covered Market where I can enjoy a traditional English breakfast set before I left Oxford. This is a lovely place with comfortable seatings, the lady at the cashier counter was friendly and cheerful and there were also some traditional goodies which I would love to try out if it's not because of time constraints. I like the breakfast set I ordered, it was of generous portion and it was tasty and satisfying. Do give it a try if you happen to be in Oxford. Location of the cafe is near the Market street entrance.

Had my lunch after a long queue, very popular place with a lot of tourist and local students, the food is very classical British, everything is great only my request changing the bean to tomatoes was rejected due to the kitchen is too busy. That is very confusing to me I thought cut tomatoes into piece is more easier than cook beans

I must admit that I became curious about the place after having seen it in a television series; once in Oxford I had to experiment. What a surprise to find that it has Portuguese touches in the decoration (clearly someone is a fan of Sporting football club) as well as in food - from the familiar pastel de nata, bolo de arroz (rice cake) and even pastéis de bacalhau (Portuguese cod fish cakes). If you aren’t a fan fear not as there is plenty of English dishes. I chose a mini English Breakfast for an early lunch and it was quite tasty. Good portion too, despite being mini. It is a pleasant establishment, inside the covered Market, very close to Market Street. You can’t miss it, there is a floating yellow teapot (and dormouse - remember Alice in Wonderland?) hanging from the rafters of the market just outside the entrance. It can become quite busy around lunch time. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I will certainly come back
