Tucked in the heart of Norwich, having seen the reviews on TripAdvisor, I thought I would try this place out as it had a rating of 4.5/5. It was a really nice peaceful environment to eat in and the service was really good too.

The food is sourced locally and freshly which means their menu changes regularly as explained on their website, yet you still have a good variety of choice providing you are not a fussy eater.

The prices aren't too bad seeing as it is a place of fine dining, three dinner courses only came to £24.95!

Sea bass fillet with brown shrimp beurre blanc, crushed new potatoes and asparagus

Lemon cheesecake with lemon curd, raspberry sauce and meringue

For starter I had a butternut squash soup topped with chives which had to be one of the best soups I have had and I drink a lot of soups! It was very smooth and creamy and although it was creamy it wasn't too rich and very moorish!

For main I had a pan fried sea bass with a perfect crispy skin and soft flesh. The beurre blanc was very nice as well, yet it was a little too rich for me however I cannot complain as it was truly delicious.

Lastly, the lemon cheesecake really topped off the whole three course meal as it was very light and not sickly at all and to make it even better they put popping candy on top of the cake too!

This is definitely a place to go!

Open 7 days a week

This little gem of a cafe is one of my favourite places to eat out for lunch in Norwich. Only a small place at the bottom of the high street, No.33 is always packed with people and queues, however it is all worth the wait.

The menu has many choices ranging from a full English breakfast, to  to fish fingers on sea salt focaccia which is all pretty amazing! Their menu changes from time to time but having been there many times, it's safe to say that everything tastes yummy!

What's more amazing is the generous amount of cake you get per slice and the wonderful flavours they provide as well ranging from the Classic Victoria sponge, to chocolate and banana, hazelnut and mocha to a refreshing lemon and poppyseed and many more including brownies! 

If you just fancy some afternoon tea and cake, this is definitely the place to come as a slice of cake and drink is only £3.50!
