Reviews in Norwich

All I can say is , Absolutely fantastic , can’t wait to go again

Our first visit to Jorges, was a pleasurable overall experience. The restaurant was pleasant, with a warm welcome from the “front of house staff” I found the menu to be very balanced for a non allergy eater, but my wife is coeliac and found the dishes available to be very unimaginative, with no gluten free breads available along with no desserts. Food was well cooked, I personally found the meats to over cooked, so making tuff to eat. But this a very personal thing and I realised not everyone prefers my preference. I also found the dishes to be lacking in overall flavour, spices not always tasted, but the croquettes were very good. My biggest “thing” was the portion sizes against dish price, my perception is that the dishes and the overall meal was very expensive for what we had. But when you take into account the costs that a small restaurant have I understand there difficulty. I had one further issue in that the bill had service charge attached which I have personal issue around and also the bill had a tax line to it that I didn’t understand. When I asked the waitress, she couldn’t explain the charge with any confidence that cause more confusion which annoyed me, but turned out to be VAT. Will we go back? Possibly but not quickly. Yes the food and ambience where good, but the cost of eating there is bordering on very expensive only for the fact that costs of running a small restaurant is extortionate

We found ourselves in Norwich unexpectedly on Tuesday and booked at Jorges for dinner. This is the evening they do a tapas menu in addition to the normal menu. We were surprised how bijou it was but there was a nice vibe. The Brazilian lady who served us (sorry no name) was delightful and gave some good advice with regard size of plates and recommending desert wine to go with what we had. My wife said it was the best tapas she'd had in the UK, every plate was delicious. We ordered 4 between us initially, then a further 3. This helped us pace ourselves. The alvarinho wine was great and at £35/bt represented very good value for money. We chatted to a couple who work in the service industry in Norwich and thhis is where they go on their night off, like us they love it.We would 100% reccomend it and hope to return later in August when Norwich castle reopens as we didn't get to visit it. Thanks Jorges.

Fantastic food and service. If had to pick a fault, the spicy chicken wings weren't spicy

Great service, lovely relaxed atmosphere & amazing food thank you ☺️

Lovely quaint restaurant with good ambience. Food freshly cooked and very tasty. Attentive waiting staff were always cheerful and helpful

Arguably the best restaurant in Norwich, I went last night and the food was amazing! Me and my partner had the tapas menu and every single dish was cooked to perfection. I honestly wouldn’t change anything that I had and I can’t wait to go back and try the rest. Wine was delicious as well I absolutely loved it. You definitely get what you pay for

I booked this restaurant on a friend’s recommendation for a birthday meal attended by family from Edinburgh. We were not disappointed. Both the food and service were excellent, making it an evening to remember.

Beautiful. We received Gift Vouchers for Jorge’s for our wedding and what a perfect gift. Service impeccable. Food amazing and cooked to perfection. All that could have improved the experience was the temperature of the room- did become slightly too hot given a hot, summers night and a restaurant full of people but didnt spoil the evening in the slightest. We will be back and highly recommend. What a perfect wedding gift!

We had the seafood with Rice to share it was absolutely amazing. The starters were awesome as well. We eat out a lot in norwich and this is up there as the best.

2nd visit, absolutely fab again, Jorge and the lady who served us again this time. ( sorry I forgotten her name) welcoming and knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions on what we could order and how much, Portuguese green wine that Jorge recommend last time we had again, very drinkable, we came on steak and tapas night , octopus sensational, i had pork main and my partner had the steak with sweet potato fries and salad really excellent, the absolute winner was the almon tart and lavender ice cream, Beautiful little restaurant with tables nicely spaced

Great menu and food. Very helpful staff. Totally understand the need for reasonable deposits at time of booking too.

A great setting, lively atmosphere and excellent service. We had the tuna and the sea bass ceviche for starters, both of which were very good. The T-bone steak was among the best I’ve ever tasted, particularly with their home made piri-piri and the chef’s wonderful peppercorn sauce.

Lovely restaurant, found was fantastic and the staff were really attentive. Will definitely return

I had the tapas. Overall, the food was enjoyable—particularly the beef croquettes, which were exceptional. However, the chicken and ribs were overcooked, and the prawns lacked flavour. Given the price per plate, I would have expected more thoughtful seasoning. That said, the service was excellent, and the wine selection truly stood out.

Authentic Portuguese food with an innovative menu offering, and a good selection of Iberian wines. Small, intimate space - unfortunately without air conditioning on a day when it was 30C outside! Our Portuguese waitress was very knowledgable on both the menu and the wine. The food was excellent, but portions are more attuned to fine dining than bistro sizes, which ends up making it an expensive option for the locale. We will definitely be back though as it was thoroughly enjoyable and (I believe) unique to the area.

What a lovely restaurant. Food was amazing and staff were so attentive but not over the top. It was a great experience for our visit to Norwich
