A new restaurant is set to open in the city with 24 carat gold and rainbow burgers.

Silhouette, a contemporary Italian restaurant, is opening in Timber Hill at Castle Quarter, Norwich, on Friday, January 20. 

Business partners Carlos Magalhaes and Fabio Rodrigues are opening Silhouette in the former home of steak and lobster lounge Bourgee, which closed during the pandemic.

The menu offers a range of dishes from steak, to fish, to burgers with coloured buns and classic Italian pasta dishes, catering for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Prices range from £12.50 to £40.

Its menu also offers bugers and steaks to be wrapped in '24 carat gold' for a supplementary price of £35 and £40 respectively.

An extensive cocktail menu is on offer and will change seasonally. Prices range from £9.50 to £15.50, or you can treat yourself to a cocktail tree for £36 to £50.

The new opening follows the success of Il Salvatore Restaurant, which the pair opened in Brandon in 2019 and has since become a social media sensation for its flower walls and vibrant cocktails described as "the sassiest cocktail bar in Suffolk".

Silhouette has invested £120,000 into the site, which will have a big focus on florals both inside and outside of the restaurant, which will include a blossom tree.

Mr Magalhaes said: "We will be offering something I haven't seen anywhere else in Norwich and the cocktails are unique.

"We fell in love with Norwich and knew we wanted our second restaurant to be here. 

"We’re so thrilled to be opening this week and can’t wait to show off how the restaurant looks. It’s everything we wished for, and it’s all thanks to our hardworking team."
