Restaurants in Norwich

'A fine city' is how George Borrow described Norwich in 1851, and his slogan has stood the test of time. Norfolk's county town gained its wealth through the weaving trade, although it's now better known for Colman's mustard and chocolate.

It's a cosmopolitan place (as you might expect from a university city) and it has spawned a thriving gastronomic scene, with top-flight restaurants, ethnic cafés and pubs serving excellent food. Norwich also has one of the best open markets in England, dating back to Norman times.
