Tiffanys Restaurant and Bar has reopened on 27 April! It is refurbished, restocked, and proud to introduce their exciting new chef, Mauro Battaglia who comes to the restaurant straight from London following his recent role in charge of 21 chefs, working under a Michelin star Chef. ex-Savoy chef Mauro was born and trained in Italy and has impeccable credentials specialising in classic French & Italian cuisine.

At Tiffany’s you can once again experience white linen, fresh flowers and fine dining, in the safe & quiet oasis between the leafy riverbanks of the Avon, the still-gorgeous flower beds on the corners of Durham St, Oxford Tce, Lichfield St and St Michael’s Church. Easy access up Montreal and right onto Oxford.

Earlier strengthening means the Tiffanys’ heritage building, Tudor House (1907), has come through the quake with barely a crack. Owners Noel McGuigan & Sharon Rees-Thomas have been busy refurbishing the restaurant and restocking the wines. Tiffany is famed for its cellar which offers discerning diners over 120 wines. Tiffany’s returns with new chef, new menu, subtle refurbishment, whilst retaining its old commitment to service, quality and providing guests with a memorable experience. The outdoor terrace overlooking the Avon, plus its historic dining room that seats 100 it is also perfect for functions.

I recently took my family to dine at Tiffany’s on a special occasion with high expectations. The service was initially great. The staff offered to take our coats and ushered us to our seats. The food was somewhat mediocre. There were 4 of us and we ordered a plate of bread as entree. We received a great amount of bread amongst 4 of us which was by far too much for an entree, having realised later that the wait staff has ordered 2 sets of servings for us without asking how much serving we wanted! We had to pay $6.50 x2 just for a plate of bread and dips!!! We ended up wasting a lot of bread and it was very filling.
My dad was really looking forward to their pork belly but was greatly disappointed. The first time it came out, it hadh crispy but burnt crackling to the point that you can taste the bitter carbon debris. We politely asked the chef to remake the dish and the wait staff defended for him but eventually gave my dad the second plat of pork belly. This time the crackling was way undercooked like it had never been grilled in the oven at all!! We have left flabbergasped and my dad carried on eating like nothing happened as he was too embarrassed to ask for it to be recooked. The rest of the food we ordered was average compared with the very expensive price we had to pay. The prime steak I had was meant to be medium but it came as almost well done. My sister ordered yellow fin tuna which was lack of taste. We did not order any desserts because we did not want to be any more disappointed. If I didn’t have an entertainment card I would not have come to this place and we are not planning to return to this place either.

We have dined here twice before, approximately 10 yrs ago and left feeling disappointed on both occasions due to the attitude of the wait staff.
Despite this however we decided to book for lunch for four.
The waitress was attentive and accommodating, initially we chose to sit outside but a sight precipitation made us move inside. We were surprised to see that the restaurant was not at all busy despite the lovely setting and realistically priced lunch menu.
We ordered between us the selections of breads, Oysters, Venison Burger, Mushroom Risotto, Market Fish (Monk Fish), Tiramisu, Ice Cream selection, and to drink Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc.
After placing our order we were later informed that the Venison Burgers were not Venison but Lamb. However they happily substituted part of the Market Fish dish and replaced it with Vegetables when asked, which were cooked to perfection.
Each dish was as described and exceeded our expectations.
We would gladly dine here again.

I went there for the first time the other night to celebrate my wife’s birthday. From the moment we arrived I could see this was a fine dining restaurant with a difference – a large ‘Tudor’ style house converted-restaurant nested amongst beautiful surroundings, overlooking the Avon river. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and seated practically straight away. The restaurant is beautifully laid out. The service was exceptional. Our waiter was pleasant and very helpful. The food is pricey, but somewhat expected given the formal surroundings and the high quality chefs they employ – there were a number of fine dining awards proudly hung on the wall. The restaurant’s signature dishes are the beef and lamb, so I decided to order a 3 course meal with Canterbury Beef medium-rare for the main. The beef was cooked nicely, although cooked a little longer than I preferred (more like medium than medium-rare). Also, it wasn’t as nicely seared on the outside as I had hoped. And the amount of food on the plates throughout the courses were smaller than expected – no doubt with an intentional emphasis on quality and plating finesse (typical of fine dining) rather than just mere quantity. However, even after completing a 3 course meal I was still surprised to feel a little hungry. While the quality of food was good, I have to admit that I’ve had even better from a restaurant of similar calibre, thus I’ve deducted a star. But the restaurant and food is definitely good enough to warrant many more visits in the near future.
