Jorge's Restaurant

It is extremely rare that I write a review without photos of the food we order, but visiting Jorge's in Norwich is an exception, simply because we were just so relaxed and enjoying the experience and the ambience that I completely forgot to take photos of the courses we enjoyed. Being a tapas restaurant, you could end up with 4 or 5 or even 6 courses, the food was that good! I did manage a couple of snaps of dessert and the building and signs as we left. It's small but cosy and a comfortable space. The staff are the best and very welcoming. Excellent dining experience. Highly recommend.

Wow! We had been recommended this restaurant by some local foodies so we had high expectations, and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent, perfect ambiance with jazz music that wasn’t too loud, beautiful plates, and obviously the amazing food. The octopus carpaccio came in a tasty ponzu dressing that we had to resist drinking, and the Cataplana was so delicious, we mopped up all the sauce the bread. Exciting wine selection too. We’ve been fortunate to have gone to some great restaurants (including Michelins around the world) but this is definitely one of our favourites now. Can’t wait to go back!

Delicious, cosy and quiet. Went here with on a date night. Absolutely perfect. All our food was yummy and perfectly cooked. Service were super helpful and we were very happy with our choices. I can specifically recommend the garlic clams!

If you like tapas, you are in for a treat. Wonderfully relaxed service. A fantastic menu to choose from. We ordered about 7 items and I will definitely be going back to try the rest. Every single dish was a delight.

Food is well presented, tasty, sauces and condiments are tasty too, here you can find traditional Portuguese classic tapas such as octopus, clams, olives and sardines. I cannot give a full score because the prawns were frozen, this dish is £13 and for that price in Norwich it’s gonna have to be fresh from the market. In addition, tapas size can be bigger. One of the mains was rice with tiger prawns served in a nice clay pot, the rice was absolutely delicious, crunchy and the sauce very nice too, again the prawns quality is the main issue (£76). I disagree with some reviews about prices, food is good however fresh ingredients should be a must, if that can be implemented then the average spend per person can be justified too, a good restaurant but food quality is a tad short.

Dined here on a family recommendation. Small restaurant, Portuguese cuisine. Food was pleasant enough and the staff great. We had 2 starters (shared charcuterie platters). We had 3 fish mains and 1 vegetarian main. The food was well cooked and tasty with rather modest portion sizes. The restaurant suffers from it's size with too many covers and consequently the noise was intrusive. Our main issue was cost. We paid £60 per head (we did have 2 bottles of house wine but no desserts nor coffee). At the end of the day, we felt that we did not have value for the price paid. The customer needs to feel that he has had value for the price paid and,sorry Jorge, this was not the case. Looking back at reviews 2 years ago, the prices were probably 2/3 of current ones. The British restaurant industry has used the excuse of COVID, inflation etc to raise prices. It is in my view, profiteering. Sorry, guys, we won't be back.

This is a fabulous little place, brilliant staff and the most sublime food, we had the Platter and it was divine and plentiful, really worth going and book in advance
