Bistro in Norwich

“I had a delicious lunch here. I sat at the window bar and watched the Christmas shoppers rushing by while I was cosy and being well fed. The celeriac remoulade had a good dollop of mustard and made a perfect appetizer before the beef bourguignon. That beef was so tender, the carrots soft, an unctuous and lipsmacking dish. The frites I ordered were crisp and salty, perfect for dipping into that gravy. Although I was full, I couldn’t resist their crème brûlée for desert which had that crack on top, hiding a sweet mellow creaminess underneath. The Pinot noir I chose to accompany the meal seemed perfect. Astonishingly good food! I was kindly welcomed in when I arrived and the service was timely and friendly. Wish I was able to visit more often.”

“Excellent menu and wine list The pigeon breasts were good and the Rabbit cassoulet superb.”

“Very friendly staff. Amazing food and service. Made to feel very welcome. Extra special touch for my partners birthday.”

“We had a delicious meal here to celebrate my husband's birthday. It was Pie night and I had chicken, leek and tarragon and it was great. The staff were really kind, friendly and it was lovely to see so many customers enjoying their food.”

“Easy to find as it’s just off the road, a bit noisy with traffic zooming by but who cares it was nice to sit outdoors and eat a deliciously huge veggie breakfast with nice touches like braised vine tomatoes, spinach and pepper . The waitresses were really friendly and served us quickly and efficiently.”

“Amazing restaurant, staff were so friendly and helpful when choosing what to eat and even fit us in with five minutes before the kitchen shut. Food was absolutely delicious and well worth the price. Cocktails were very strong around £10-12 each. Atmosphere was cosy and intimate. Will definitely be returning to try more of the menu in the future!!”

“Our family love coming to Mrs B's, and my dog Fang especially does! He adores the fuss and treats and always gets excited to go in the cafe ❤”

“We had a fabulous dinner at Shambles a couple of weeks ago. It was a quiet Tuesday night but the service was swift and friendly and the Chicken Chasseur was delicious. Wine was great, generous glasses and at a reasonable price. Lovely setting and delightful decor. I highly recommend it.”

“Just had a lovely brunch with son and grandkids this morning. My choice Willows chicken and bacon club sandwich couldnt have been nicer. Lovely, friendly staff with good timely service, in a clean and fresh environment, thankyou!”

“Had a breakfast with a group of railway volunteers. Food was quickly served as we pre booked our choices. Love the railwayania. Trains regularly pass through the station.”

“My granddaughter took me for afternoon tea for my birthday. It was super! I especially enjoyed the savouries which were delicious and so much nicer and more interesting than the usual sandwiches and sausage rolls.”

“Lizzie was very attentive and helpful throughout the night, I had a wonderful birthday meal here and will be returning. I introduced my friends to Bill’s as well and they also loved it!”

“Got some male and female guppies. 4 platys 2 other long fish All for a cheap decent bargain but the more you buy the cheaper it becomes like a deal. Definitely love the red platys and the guppies as they add so much colour”

“We had a great dinner! Service was wonderful - staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the Thai music played, and the restaurant’s ambience is great for catch-up with friends, dates and even family dinners. Although some familiar dishes carried a slightly different flavour profile from what we were used to in Asia, it was still delicious and gives you a great spicy kick! (Non-spicy dishes are available too)”

“Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back.”

“Staff very friendly, pretty decent food.”

“This place is amazing with the best sausage rolls and brownies we’ve eaten in Norwich. Really friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere! I highly recommend the peanut butter brownies as they are the best brownies to ever exist!”

“Amazing experience in a really Italian restaurant. Food is prepared by Italian master chef who is talking to the customers about the ingredients, their source and origin, how to prepare and mix them. You will be served by Italians with a smile and genuine care about your experience. You will feel like you are in Italy with the whole dedication to the excellent food and fanatic service. If you go to Norwich, make sure you have booked your table there. You can thank me later. I recommend it with my whole heart and will visit them every time I get in the town.”

“My first time there with family. Dog friendly. The staff are really helpful and friendly. Love the beer mat collection on the ceiling and the quirky artwork. And the lady skeleton outside. Indoor seating and also outside covered seating area. Food amazing. I can highly recommend the place.”
