Oliver's Bistro - Norwich

One of my friends recommended this restaurant to me after she and her husband had a great experience. I came for lunch and the food was delicious! I will definitely return for another meal.

After enjoying a delicious meal earlier in the year, we were offered a two-course meal for £14 upon leaving the restaurant. However, when we returned to use this offer, we found that the menu was a limited version of what was available online. We decided to start with appetizers, and I chose the scallops with black pudding, which was one of the more expensive dishes. To my disappointment, I received only two small scallops accompanied by an abundance of black pudding. While I enjoy black pudding, the portion size seemed inadequate for the price of £7.95. When I raised this issue with the staff, they responded with indifference, saying they would mention it to the chef. In my opinion, portion sizes are determined by management, not the chef. The cooking was satisfactory, but the lackluster response from management left much to be desired.

I think I have a new favourite restaurant in Norwich. The food was perfect, the restaurant smart/sophisticated and very well decorated yet relaxed, and staff friendly and provided just the right level of attentiveness. Even better, it's excellent value midweek 2 mains for £14! Hubby and I shared our two starters. We had scallops and black pudding and jumbo king prawns with garlic and crostini. Exquisitely cooked. Could have eaten about 3 more plates of both!.. But glad I didn't, because then the burger arrived! Burger was perfect huge, juicy, tasty, with bacon and Norfolk Dapple cheese. French fries delicious. Staff kindly substituted side salad for coleslaw and French fries for hand cut chunky chips for me. We were so impressed with the food, we pushed the boat out and got desserts as well. We shared these again. White chocolate cheesecake with berry compote for hubby and chocolate brownie with salted caramel ice cream for me. Both were, again, delicious... and huge. So large that I had to take home part of my brownie. Could not face seeing it go in the bin when it was so good. I won't hesitate to say we will be back many times based on this experience.

My daughter held her 21st birthday party in The Crypt and had a fantastic night so we were keen to try out the restaurant. All the positive reviews are true. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were really friendly and efficient. We highly recommend it!

Just returned from such a fantastic night at Oliver's Bistro. Really wished I had have known about it before, as would had been a regular here. I went with friends who all were equally impressed. Lovely settings, superb food and extremely friendly staff. We visited as I had a Groupon voucher, and I did look previously here onTripadvisor and saw really good reviews- all which were absolutely true! Totally recommended and planning to return with more friends and husband as I know they will love it! Look forward to seeing you all soon again !!!
