Food is an experience that completes a journey that gives a place a certain identity. Cuisines offered in Norfolk have been nothing but variety across ethnicity. You can find practically any food from all four corners of the earth in Norfolk itself. Of course, seafood is definitely a big part of the dining experience in Norfolk and most restaurants offer it as part of their exquisite menu.

Below are the Top 5 restaurants around Norfolk that have pleased the plates of many people and have earned their place on this list (adapted from www.tripadvisor.com).

No.1
Todd Jurich’s Bistro
For an upscale dining experience and a great wine selection, Todd Jurich’s Bistro is definitely the place to go to. The ambiance is welcomingly warm and the staffs are trained to make your dining experience a more personalized one. Do not, I repeat, do not leave without trying Todd’s signature oyster stew. Their dinner menu changes daily.

No. 2
No Frill Bar and Grill
Locals dine here like it is an everyday diner except the food is spectacularly good for its price and variety. Food is served in big portions, flavorful and is well prepared. Upon entering, the essence of Norfolk just sweeps upon you like a tidal wave. It is hard to not feel like a local when you are served to eat and dine like one. Excellent place to go to for great steaks without the frills of dressing up!

No. 3
Fellini’s
It is the best place for a great slice of Italian pizza, so the locals will tell you. It is the “Old Faithful” where you can count on to get a heart warming Italian cuisine with a rustic flavor. Their selection of food available on their menu is wide and colorful – it’s as colorful as their restaurant’s interior. No one is going home hungry with this one.

No. 4
Cora
This place is where the heart of southern cooking lives in Norfolk. For those of you who are looking for some soul food, its Cajun and Creole menu will definitely satisfy that craving. The quiet and romantic setting makes Cora a fitting date night venue.

No.5
China Garden Restaurant
This is your standard all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet place but no one really leaves until the food is gone. Food is always hot and fresh and it is definitely the place to go to satisfy your Asian tastebuds.
