Norwich is full of foodies - and there are plenty of restaurants in the city for them to explore.

From global chains to independent eateries, new options appear all the time.

But what restaurants would locals like to see next?

Here are seven that would be a great addition to the city, as suggested by you.

1. Toby Carvery

Toby Carvery has 158 restaurants across the UK but is still lacking a Norwich branch. 

It serves delicious roast dinners with all the trimmings all week long - so the big family meal doesn't have to be reserved for Sunday.

The closest Toby Carvery to Norwich is currently in Sidegate Road, Great Yarmouth.

2. Wasabi Sushi and Bento

Wasabi is a fast food chain offering Japanese and East-Asian-inspired dishes.

As its name suggests, sushi and bento are its specialities.

Wasabi operates 43 branches across the UK and runs primarily from London.

City folk say they would particularly love to welcome its healthy and vegan options to Norwich.

3. Wahaca

Wahaca serves traditional Mexican small plates designed for sharing.

Its food is as locally sourced as possible and it prides itself on capturing "the vibrancy of Mexico" in its menu and atmosphere.

Wahaca was co-founded by Thomasina Miers, the 2005 winner of Masterchef, and it currently has 13 restaurants across the UK.

The menu includes delicious dishes like nachos, tacos, quesadillas, burritos and enchiladas filled with beef, pork, chicken, fish, halloumi or mushroom.

4. Wingstop

Wingstop brands itself as the "ultimate" chicken wing experience.

The fast food restaurant launched in the USA and was quickly loved for its range of 10 wing flavours. 

The chain has opened 32 UK restaurants since it first arrived in the UK in 2018.

5. Miller and Carter

Luxury steakhouse chain Miller and Carter has 122 restaurants in the UK.

Miller and Carter's beef is fully traceable to British and Irish farmers and has been matured for a minimum of 30 days.

If ribeye, fillet, sirloin and chateaubriand aren't your thing, choose from the prime burgers, lamb, chicken, salmon and sea bass that are also offered on the menu.

6. Honest Burgers

Honest Burgers is a British burger restaurant that began in Brixton in 2011. 

It prides itself on working with local food providers to have quality meat that is cut fresh every day.

It offers chicken, beef and vegetarian burgers with rosemary-salted chips on the side.

Honest Burgers has restaurants across London and in cities including Brighton, Bristol, Cardiff, Liverpool and Manchester.

7. A new all-you-can-eat Chinese

Since the Riverbank buffet closed its doors in June 2022 the people of Norwich have been missing all-you-can-eat Chinese food.

The restaurant sat by the city waterside for 18 years serving unlimited amounts of traditional Chinese dishes and was perfect for all occasions.
