My Go-To Restaurants in Norwich

If there’s one thing I absolutely love, it’s exploring the incredible food scene here in Norwich. Whether it’s a cosy breakfast spot, a lively dinner with friends, or somewhere new we’ve just stumbled upon, Norwich truly has something for everyone. Here are a few of my absolute favourites that never disappoint!

Gozo – Casual Dining with Serious Flavour

Our latest find is Gozo, and wow, what a treat! The food was absolutely delicious – from their juicy T-bone steak to the perfectly cooked thigh chicken burger. One of the best parts? You don’t need to book! Just turn up and enjoy.

That said, be warned – Gozo gets busy quickly (and for good reason), so try to head there early if you can. It’s definitely one we’ll be going back to again and again.

Haggle – A Norwich Favourite

Now, if you know me, you’ll know that Haggle is my ultimate favourite. It’s one of those places that never fails to impress – the atmosphere, the food, the cocktails… everything is spot on.

But let’s talk about those duck bonbons. They are hands down my favourite thing on the menu, and no, I don’t share them. Ever! 😋

Haggle is extremely popular (and rightly so), so make sure you book in advance. It’s always buzzing, and you definitely don’t want to miss out.

Cafe 33 in the Park – Breakfast Bliss

If you’re looking for the perfect breakfast or brunch spot, Cafe 33 in the Park is the one. Their pancakes are insane – fluffy, delicious, and absolutely worth the visit. Pair them with a good coffee and you’ve got yourself a perfect morning in Norwich.

Giggling Squid – Thai Heaven in Tombland

Another favourite of mine is Giggling Squid, right in the heart of Tombland. It’s one of those places where the entire menu is a winner – whether you’re in the mood for curries, noodles, or their famous sharing platters, everything is full of flavour.

The setting is lovely too, making it a great spot for date nights or dinners with friends.

Ora Norwich – Healthy Goodness in the Arcade

If you’re after something fresh, colourful, and good for the soul, Ora Norwich is a must-have stop! Right in the Royal Arcade, this place is bursting with healthy options that taste just as good as they look.

My daughter absolutely loves it too – they have the best açai bowls in the city! Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or a refreshing pick-me-up, Ora is one to add to your list.

Norwich is packed with amazing restaurants, and I’m always discovering new gems. From casual dining to special occasions, there’s something here for every craving.

If you haven’t tried these spots yet – Gozo, Haggle, Ora, Cafe 33, and Giggling Squid – add them to your list. You won’t regret it! 

With love,
