Now in its sixth year, Thomas Aubrit and his wife Gemma have been serving diners since 2020 and, in that time, have had a glowing review from renowned food critic Jay Rayner and been included in the Good Food Guide’s Top 100 Restaurants several years on the trot.
A reviewer said: “There’s a huge amount of love for this tiny bistro in the Norwich Lanes.
“Thomas cooks the food he remembers eating as a child with heartfelt honesty, while Gemma runs the place with instinctive charm – and with a small supporting cast, they prove the old trope that the best things often come in the smallest packages.”
The list also included Bistro Freddie in Shoreditch and Fancett’s Bistro in Cambridge.
