Restaurants in Norwich

Out of the Blue

Out of the blue cafe is truly out of this world, the best poached eggs I've ever eaten. Xxxxx

Parking: On the road and in the church car park.

The Kimchi

Lovely second floor, hole in the wall korean restaurant. The staff are friendly and make the atmosphere even better. The food is comforting and authentic. Portions are large and are best shared between people

Wheelchair accessibility: not accessible. the restaurant is on a second floor of a building with very steel steps

Harrys Soul Station

Absolutely incredible experience. Was our first time trying and as a family will definitely be returning. We were so impressed with the choice of gluten free options on the menu. My little girl was incredibly happy that she was able to have chicken strips instead of the usual cheeseburger as that's all a lot of places offer for gluten free on the kids menu. They were incredibly good too that when she had finished she was sad there wasn't more so we asked if we could order more as a side she was so happy. The food, atmosphere and service was all 10/10. Don't have any complaints at all. Definitely a hidden gem and I wish I knew about this place sooner.

Kid-friendliness: Staff were absolutely lovely and all so nice to our little girl. The lady serving us even made it so our little girl won the bet on guessing the closest to the bill amount. She's happy she now has an extra £10 in her money box.

Zizzi

Very attentive service and food/drinks served quickly. Favourite sharing platter was decent portion and mainly enjoyable but calamari was too chewy/overcooked and Crispy Riserva potatoes were not crispy at all.

Rileys

Great atmosphere and variety of things to do the manager Emma, staff Shayne and Emmanuela and Chloe are very lovely and are extremely accommodating to someone I support and makes his time at Riley’s very positive and they have built and great relationship ?

The Cock Tavern

Well what can I say the staff are absolutely amazing nothing is too much trouble we all have a laugh and a joke.
It’s a lovely country pub atmosphere and well worth a visit and the food is great.

Connaught Kitchen

What a really lovely find?!
There were 4 of us and we all said that our breakfasts was one of the best we’ve ever had, so flavoursome, premium ingredients and generous portions.
The coffee is also delicious and you could tell they use good quality beans.
The vibe is lovely and welcoming for all.
We’d highly recommend it and if ever in the area would be back
⭐️

Bella Italia

Me and my son had a loverly time yesterday, thankyou so much to all of the team for getting us in on a busy busy night. We were very grateful and enjoyed it all, the food service and atmosphere was really enjoyable. Thankyou Jess and Paolo for making it even better, amazing service .

Kid-friendliness: I love the kids menu, perfect

Gem of Norwich

First time we have been to The Gem of Norwich and will definitely return.

The service team could not do enough… They were knowledgeable about allergens, dietary requirements and possible adaptations they could make, so that we could enjoy our meal. Over the evening, they checked in regularly, offering recommendations, pouring wine, refilling water, and making sure we had everything we required.

The food was absolutely delicious, well seasoned and lived up to our high expectations. We were recommended to order the family feast option, which included 4 cold mezze dishes, and two hot. We both had a main (lamb stiffado and a vegetarian moussaka) and finished with baklava and icecream. Ridiculously good value at only £24pp!

Huge selection for both vegetarians and meat eaters, that included both hot and cold options.

Can not wait to return in the near future!

Vernon Arms

We love the Vernon Arms. They are extremely kind and accommodating to families as well as dogs, and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy. The burgers are sublime - and the food is fresh and comes in good time. Thank you

The Bodega

Servers were friendly and nice to see them having a laugh while working. Seemed like a team that enjoy what they do!
My sandwich was delicious and jam packed and I was stuffed after eating!

Definitely would recommend!

The Wildebeest

Did not actually eat here as had our 2 Boxer dogs with is down on holiday for a week, but sampled the local beer/wine in the beer garden at the front of the pub. Lovely setting to have a few drinks

The White Hart

We eat here often. The head chef is right on point. Talented and serves up a good honest menu that pleases many :) . Furthermore, it's always a pleasure to drink here, the bar staff are super friendly and you always feel well looked after.

The Ivy Norwich Brasserie

First visit to an Ivy. Great experience. Really good food and service. Looking forward to trying our local.

Vegetarian options: The gnocchi special was great but won't be there long ?

Antep Kitchen

Love the food here. It's always fresh and authentic. The sharing platter is delicious, and the portions are generous. I've been twice, and I tend to visit again soon. Oh, and customer service is on point, too.

Vegetarian options: The cold meze platter is the best veggie food here, in my opinion. Fresh, plentiful, and very tasty.

Brix and Bones

The food is of an excellent standard, tasty and well presented. However, portion sizes are miserly for the price paid. I understand the focus is on quality rather than quantity but I expect to come away from a meal feeling full when I've paid over £40 a head (not including drinks). Atmosphere and service were both good but I think you can find better value for money in Norwich.

The Wallow | Self Service Wine Bar

Super relaxed atmosphere and good fun using the self serve machines to try out a small taste of a variety of wines before indulge in a favourite. We're not even close to being wine connoisseurs, but there's no feeling of snobbery or needing to know lots, just an opportunity to enjoy fine wine.
The share boards are plenty for two and the food quality is great.
A place where you can forget about the world and enjoy a taste of luxury.

The Little Park Café

Best English breakfast in years! 11/10 beautiful, grease free, high quality locally sourced ingredients. Absolutely faultless. Lovely friendly service and dog friendly too, can you ask for more? Highly recommend I will be back to try the rest of the menu which also looked epic as it was served to other customers. Great coffee too. Even the condiments were high quality. What a gem of a discovery ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

SugarBeat Eating House

We had a lovely meal to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday. As we were a big group, we were asked if we’d like to use the private function room. The staff were very accommodating and the food was absolutely delicious. A big thumbs up from everyone in our party. Thank you

Last Pub Standing

Great pints, especially the house beer, really honeyed and light!
Nice staff, nice place and a good stop off.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, just a few doors but no steps

Netherton Steakhouse

Went for their burger night was quickly seated and drinks ordered we then ordered our burgers then some other customers sat near us and their waitress took their order and gave them a choice of fries our food had come at this point both with chunky fries which I don't really like so.i asked the waitress when she came to take check if we should have been given a choice she said yes I said I would have chosen skinny fries she apologised and within a few mins she brought me some from the kitchen which I thought was such a nice gesture so thank you cara form going the extra mile and just to say the waitresses who took our order never apologised and she been there a long time
Thank you again cara you are an asset to nethertons

Sweettree

I picked up a salad today while having a little walk on my break at work, and the salad was incredible! Worth every penny! I had had cake from here before via delivery and hadn’t realised how close the cafe was to my work! The cakes have been delicious too! 10/10 will be visiting again.

Vegetarian options: Salads, sandwiches, soups, cakes, loads.

Dietary restrictions: Soya and oat milk available.

Zest

BP

I visited on Saturday 7th of September and I was feeling super down in the dumbs so got myself a luxury hot chocolate. Now I wish I knew the ladies name who made it. But it was the best hot chocolate I'd ever had! It really made me smile and I just wanted to say thank you really

McDonald's Brundall

We were staying at the travel lodge on the Norfolk Broads & McDonald's is a ten minute drive heading towards Norwich. It’s small but breakfast was not only good but the service excellent. Lots of workmen stopped for breakfast as well & no one waited long for their order. I’m going back in the morning before we head for home as there breakfast are second to none. ill be back.

McDonald's

Quick visit for lunch whilst in at a track day, usual experience with simple ordering, quick food delivery and the restaurant was clean with space to sit down. There was quite a queue to get in the car park.

1559 at Sprowston Manor

I recently stayed here with a group of 30 women & I had nothing to complain about. We were looked after brilliantly. Staff are amazing, very helpful & frendly. Bed very comfy with plenty of pillows. No extra plug sockets by bed so an extention would have been useful to take, so I could have my phone charging on the bedside table....only 1 socket each side with the lamps plugged in. Other plug sockets in the room. The room has a hairdryer, fans, iron & board plus a trouser press, Kettle, mugs & coffee etc. Windows open enough to let fresh air in. A fridge for own food & drinks. Big tv & my room had a sofa & armchair. I was worried after seeing some of the reviews but I was happy with my room, it was very clean & tidy. There were a couple of things that would benefit from been replaced but it wouldn't stop me from rebooking. Food was good with a nice choice on the menu. I'm GF & they catered well for me. I used the spa which I enjoyed. I would happily recommend it as a good value mid range hotel.

McDonald’s

Very modern new mc Donald's, really good design on the drive-through, two collection windows, and a double lane so you can overtake. Staff were very friendly and helpful, probably one of the nicest experiences I've had at a ms Donald's in such a long time.Parking: Location of the parking was good, plenty of spaces, size of spaces we're standard but bigger than some of the carparks you get these days.

McDonald's

Half term treat for the grandchildren. Usual choice and value for a McDonald's. Large seating area both inside and outside. Staff were talking together rather than serving customers waiting at the till area. Apart from that pleasant visit

McDonald's

Great service

Parking: Watch parking you will be fined i go with a friend we are both disabled and have problems with eating and digestion so of course we stayed longer then had a diabetic attack i received a £100 parking fine.

McDonald's

I know it's a real tough time at the minute but the staff were brilliant absolutely amazing during this time time I'm and the service was good always smiling

McDonald's

Food was what I expected, lady that brought the food was very polite, friendly and helpful, only problem was we wanted to sit by the window but it was so cold and drafty that was had to move.

McDonald's

That was the best thing I’ve ever experienced
That triple cheeseburger sent me into another dimension
That chef was so lovely
That was the best decision I’ve ever made
That manager who made my burger, deserves a promotion ??

The Cottage

Late lunch with 5 others. All had different dishes but all meals were tasty, plentiful and well cooked. Hadn't been here for a few years but it won't belong before we're back.

The Brewery Tap

Plenty of Real Ale, some home brewed, also many taps of Craft Beer and local ciders. Went again in July, it was even better than before the pandemic. Chatty staff which is what really make a pub. The 11a and 12 buses stop (Bell Road) in front of the entrance

Parking: Some space in the Car Park, but best to get the 11a or 12 bus from the Castle. The bus stop is in front of the entrance

The Stanley NR3

Nice pub. Usual modern trendy shit. Nice beer served at London prices. Good environment to meet pals in, have a date, or even bring family. Would recommend.

Kid-friendliness: Was a few babbers in there on the Sunday we went, and a few couples/dates, I felt x

The Plough

Good pub. Have been coming here for years. Lovely and welcoming with a good well priced selection of beer.

Lovely fire in the winter and great big garden to use in the winter.

The Warwick Arms

In the upstairs function room for a 50th birthday party. Great pizzas. Really tasty and reasonably priced.

Vegetarian options: Lots of different pizza options

Dietary restrictions: Didn't seem to be a gluten free pizza option

The Maids Head

Didn't eat food, so can't comment. First ever visit to this pub for a live music gig on Saturday. Great atmosphere, amazing wall of fascinating rock posters. Good drinks from the bar. Friendly staff and locals. A wooden dance floor area was a real bonus. Brilliant, fun night with the talented Glamtastics. We'll certainly go to this great venue again.

The Marsh Harrier

Made a last minute booking this evening ing, cannot fault the service at all, all the staff were attentive and knew the bar menu and food menu inside out. The food was amazing, so tasty and delicious. It’s a shame we don’t live hearted but if we’re in the area again we will definitely have another visit. This quaint pub does not disappoint, 5 star service and 5 star food, huge compliments to all the staff involved, thank you ☺️

Adam and Eve

Nice friendly pub. In the late October sunshine was very pleasant to sit in the nice seats to the front, if marred a tad by the car park opposite. Still a very nice historical pub to enjoy and not miss when in town.

The Black Horse

Met up with the lads for a drink and some grub.
The staff were very accommodating to our fussy eater and laughed along with our bad jokes, and they made it a very nice relaxed atmosphere for us.
Food was really good quality and was served relatively quickly, so no complaints there.
Menu is simple enough and all well priced same as drinks, good variety to choose from and decent prices.
Also, it's nice to see pool table in a pub now and then so that's a bonus.
Big car park for the unfortunate designated drivers.
Will def come again, had a very nice evening.

Trafford Arms

Great, traditional English pub with excellent selection of beers and wine. Food is excellent. Good menu selection, traditional pub fare which I enjoy.
Would definitely recommend a visit.

Expresso Cafe & Catering

Lovely food, great quality and a really good selection of sandwiches, pastries, cakes and fruit for an external catering order I placed. Friendly service and very accomodating with a last minute special request for a vegan option. I would definitely recommend these guys for price, quality and customer service.

J&P Fish And Chips

Wow! Had the £7.95 Haddock and Chips special and it was delicious. The fish was generous and very tasty, the batter was perfectly cooked. The chips were good too and not greasy (they use vegetable oil). The fish was cooked to order and there is a comfy window seat while you wait. A good atmosphere with a constant stream of customers and taking in the music posters and memorabilia on the walls, it felt like being in a chip shop at the seaside. Lots of off road parking. The only downside is that they are Cash Only.

Roti

Food was good, took a while to take our order but we once the order was taken service was spot on. Atmosphere was ok, the lights were dull but very white if that makes sense and with plain white walls, didn’t create much of an atmosphere

Ali Tandoori

Early Sunday evening meal. Glad I stopped here. Food exceptional, nice ambience and friendly waiting staff. Will be back next time I'm in Norwich. Try the Chicken Sagwala.

Biddy's Tea Room

Had a sweet treat (scone, sponge, traybake & a coffee. Plenty of lovely cakes to choose from. Brought a extra scone & coffee so shared this sweet treat with my husband. Plenty for the both of us to enjoy. Service was good.

Krasadis Taverna

The Moussaka is to die for. We have eaten here with friends it was excellent and even come from the other side of the city to get the takeaways. Absolutely lush xx

Thorpe Fish Bar

Outstanding customer service that goes above and beyond! Really great tasting fish and chips and they accommodate really well for Gluten Free! So grateful, thank you!

Dietary restrictions: Call ahead to order gluten free as they use a separate fryer

B24 Cafe

Lovely friendly cafe, staff are nice and provide well for the industrial estate. The food is good and the company is nice. The availability to book a meeting room is very handy and good to be out of the workplace for it. Would recommend.

Amaretto Delicatessen

Always visit this delightful deli when in Norwich, everything I’ve purchased has been delicious, huge variety of food to suit all tastes, great selection of pastas, sauces, and perfect coffee as well, always very efficient and friendly service as well. 10/10

Thai Street

We have tried many of the Thai restaurants in Norwich over the years and this has been the best by far. We enjoyed it more than the more expensive well known Thai in Norwich. Amazingggg!

The Refectory at Norwich Cathedral

It's the best cafe I have ever been to. I have been to many cafes in my time, but this is the best one I have ever been to. The selection of sandwichs were wide, and varied, and I had one of the best brownies of my life. This is hands down a must visit when in Norwich.

Wheelchair accessibility: Had lift access.

KFC Norwich - Mile Cross Lane

Wow .. the food was nice. beyond that, my best ever customer experience in years of eating out with my family was with Stephanie and Sapph. These two made us feel happy and it's worth every bit of it.. I wish I could give them both 1 million Stars. God bless you

McDonald's

This McDonald's is always very friendly, not so busy (upstairs) and always very helpful staff. Food was sublime. Was a lovely treat for the family and we really enjoyed it.

Roger Hickman's Restaurant

Fantastic restaurant which surpassed our expectations. We had the premium tasting menu and standard wine flight. The food was fabulous and the wine really complimented the individual dishes.

Eaton Cottage

Proper traditional multi-room pub with a huge TV screen cinema section, a normal lounge area plus a secluded comfy quiet room with no screens or bar. Something for everyone. If I lived 'round here, I'd be here every night!

Oasis 2 Indian Restaurant

Just ordered and eaten the most amazing Indian takeaway we have have ever had..We are currently boating and moored up at Sutton. We placed our order and the food was delivered to the Staithe in the time allocated.The food itself was in our top 3 curries of all time - a delightful blend of aromatic spices which magnified the qualityof the meat in the dishesWe will definitely be back on our next trip to the BroadsOur mouths are still tingling with subtle heat and eastern spice.A five star takeaway ! Thank you !

Dunston Hall

My stay at Dunston Hall Hotel was simply delightful. The staff were incredibly attentive yet discreet, always there when needed without being intrusive. The culinary experience was outstanding, with a diverse selection of prepared dishes that were both delicious and satisfying. Before departing, I indulged in a cheeky beer – as one does – and was pleasantly surprised by the superb variety offered at very reasonable prices. A truly memorable experience all around!

Winepress

Last minute booking for an anniversary Sunday lunch (we hadn't decided where to go ?)Jack looked after us really well. Wished us a happy anniversary. Helped my wife get the perfect red wine ?Sunday lunch started quiet and got to about 1/2 to 2/3rds full.Chowder starter was delicious.Roast beef was not as rare as my wife asked for. Jack did apologise about this as joint cooked in one go.My pork was tasty and huge plate of giant Yorkshire pudding and veg. Sadly no crackling but still plenty to eat.Bar was deserted on arrival. Wide range of local gins.Dessert was a peach alaska. Very pretty on the plate. Tasty and not too sweet.Great service. Food and drink a hit or miss in places. Good value for money we felt

Domino's Pizza - Norwich - North

Decent Domino's, I'd always advise to go for collection as I've nearly always had issues with delivery. They make it quickly and so by the time I've got there I can pick it up amd take home, I've had issues of waiting up to an hour on delivery so I shall never do that again. Staff are chill but nothing above what is expected which is fine and the food you can't go wrong. Thank you very much.

KFC

Went to KFC on Saturday last week and the service was top notch the food was superb the place was so clean and tidy thanks to a staff member Connie who was keeping the place clean and tidy ,she was always smiling

Taste of Shanghai

This is my favourite stall on the Norwich market and I keep on coming back. The katsu chicken is amazing and the people running it are just lovely, always chatty and they remember a lot of their repeat customers.

New Sole Plaice

Best sausage and chips I've ever had. Had to go back in and thank the nice lady and man running it. Reasonably priced. Freshly cooked. Potato fritters were hotter than the sun but excellent. If I'm in the area again would definitely go back.

Saporita

One of Norwich’s hidden gems. Sharing platters are beautiful to look at and equally tasty to eat. Service staff are very polite, understated, knowledgable and considerate. No upselling and no nonsense. Don’t bother going to one of the national chain so called ‘Italian’ restaurants because they don’t compare.

Christophes Crepes

We went there for brunch. For the savory crepe we tried the Luigi (mozzarella, tomatoes and spinach) it was good. For the sweet we tried the nuttypat (peanut butter, Nutella and hazelnuts) and we got the chocolate ice cream added to the sweet crepe (£1.5 extra). I would recommend the nuttypat, it wasn't too sweet so I really liked it.

Overall it was a nice experience and the food was fresh. I would recommend trying the place.

The Yard Coffee

Only had a drink, Pistachio iced latte.....absolutely delish!!

Lovely place with some comfy seating and some just chairs around tables. Can get a bit noisy when full, but other than that, I think it's great x

The Malt and Mardle

It's biggest strength is probably it's biggest weakness. We visited during a VERY busy time during an ale trail and it was rammed. It prides itself on being a microbrewery, which counted against it during my visit as they were having to turn people away, and when we were able to get a seat the mardle bit (general chat) was lost as there were so many raised voices and we could hear one another.

The 2 servers on duty were polite and efficient and there was a good variety of drinks for such a small location. I imagine that in less busy times it would be a great little pub to visit and I certainly wouldn't rule out popping in again.

The Cottage NR3

Popped.in as part of an ale trail. Changed a lot since I was last here, but not in a bad way.

Ale prices were ok, cocktail prices were good and we're properly made (not premix). The food was really good, had fried cheese sticks and chips...both were really good.

The toilets were really nice 8/10, would've been 9/10 but the sink was blocked.

RASA's Cafe

Everything you want from a Lithuanian restaurant. Food is good, not perfect and the service is amazing. 7/10 would recommend yo someone and would come again my self.

Bond Street Cafe

The search for the best breakfast is finally over, this hidden gem is what proper cafes are and should be about.The breakfasts were spot on.
We will most certainly be back.

Parking: Parking on the road and in the old hospital

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly staff general happy atmosphere

Buxton Fish & Chip Shop

Best chippy around! Very busy this evening but worth the wait, everything cooked fresh by friendly staff who know their business. Even though we've got two closer, for the occasional time we have a chippy tea....its Buxton every time!

Sahara Café

First time visiting and was totally bowled over! Food, drink and service was all great and we went on a Monday! Not always a good time to try somewhere new, but this restaurant excelled.
Already eager to return ?
