Great place for brunch (the slow cooked tomatoes and eggs on sourdough are delicious) or lunch (particularly like the merguez sausages in filo, or any of the rice pilaf dishes that seem to have dropped off the menu a bit recently). Nice atmosphere - a little hipsterish - and good range of drinks both boozy and non alcoholic. More

Whether you're looking for a drink, elevated pub food, a chill spot to kick back with a bottle of wine and a a board game, the best brunch in town, or a happening late-night--Frank's is absolutely one of Norwich's best. James, Ella & crew do an absolutely top-notch job with the food, drinks and activities. Cool enough for the hipsters;... More

One of a few places in Norwich where you can a cup of coffee first thing in the morning and a glass of wine in the early hours of the following morning! I happened to do both last week! Had a superb full english which was great value at only £7.50. A simple dish, but made better by the use... More

If you want to meet a friend (or several) for a drink then this place is easily the best place to go in the city centre. They have a really good selection of drinks (including teas/coffee) and a load of interesting snacks (there is proper food as well). The staff are always really friendly and do a great job of...

Pop in, they have books you can read, board games you can play, cool music, friendly staff & the punters are generally relaxed & friendly too. It is busy so you... More

Creative and imaginative food using fresh, local, seasonal produce.Staff are frendly and nothing is too much trouble. It has a lovely atmosphere and often has various art displays or exhibitions going on. The prices are very reasonable and they have a good wine list and an interesting selection of cocktails.definately worth a visit if you are in Norwich. More

Looking for another shopping bolt hole, we were intrigued by the reviews - luckily we knew exactly where to find Frank's; walk too fast and you'll breeze right by. Friendly service, great food. No need to say any more, it's perfect. More
