We really enjoyed our visit to Nora’s and the 4-star for food isn’t really accurate, I’d go 4.5 if I could, but I think I was a victim of hyping it up too much in my head and making the wrong choice.
The absolute positives: the place is great with a really cool atmosphere and the staff are brilliant. The portions are big and the flavours (for the most part) are excellent. Pomme Anna’s, broccoli and the Venison puddings were absolute worldies without a doubt. And the Nyetimber sparkling wine was real nice.
The reason for my dropping of a star – the scotch egg was ok, not the best or worst I’ve ever had and then there was the chicken. Chicken was beautiful, with lots of citrus flavours but the sausagemeat gravy was a miss for me personally. There was a lot of it, it didn’t have any significant flavour to speak of and I found it reminded me of porridge. In my opinion, it took away from the beautiful chicken.
When we go back because we definitely will, I’ll be going for one of the steaks for sure!

Found this place by chance and it exceeded all expectations! Had the set lunch menu which was all delicious and great value. Service was also friendly and on point – they took time to explain the menu, check backs on food, chatty etc. Hope to be back soon!

Given its reputation we were excited to have a meal at Nora’s. Not so much now. Waiter was good and took care of us. The food was hit and miss. The goat cheese donut was very good and the high point if the meal. The foccacia bread was fine but not near enough oil and vinegar.
The steak…..12oz ribeye……was a horrible piece of tasteless meat and it was prepared poorly. It was ordered medium and came out medium rare…fair enough, I asked for 1 minute more on the grill and it arrived 4 minutes later medium well to well done. No flavour as a ribeye normally has and no hint at all of it being dry aged as advertised. The pommes an side dish was described as sliced potatoes with rosemary and garlic butter between the layers. It was plain potatoes. Not even a hint of salt.
Waiter knew all was not well and said the manager would be over. No manager came until there was a gift card issue as we were leaving.
Buy a £7 ribeye at Asda and cook it at home and you will be much better off.

Great to have a quality restaurant on North hill. Some interesting veg and seafood options on the menu as well; but I could not pass up a venison haunch: superb.
Definitely returning. Thanks
Forgot servers names; but you were all outstanding, and special mention to City Farm on union Street for supplying the mushrooms.

The best roast we have ever had. The biggest portions and everything was so so tasty! We have been to Noras several times now and the food and drinks have been incredible every single time. Never disappoints!
Also the staff are so lovely and attentive ☺️

I’m a big fan of Zephyr burger so had been looking forward to trying their upmarket sister restaurant. A very different experience but absolutely worth it. The food was, without exception, delicious from the focaccia starter to the main course steaks (fish or beef) to the puddings. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable without a hint of pretension. It’s towards the upper end of our usual budget but worth every penny and we’ll be back as soon as we can…

Fabulous experience. The chef clearly knows what they are doing and is passionate about the way they do their locally sourced products justice. Best mussels & oysters I’ve had this side of France! Disappointed to see so many other restaurant users being typically British and order the steak! Be brave and step outside of your comfort zones guys and sample different things. The more we demand different products the more available and cost effective it will be for everyone concerned. Only negative would be the desserts, were a little underwhelming in comparison to the rest of the menu otherwise a thoroughly great experience. Keep listening and taking on the feedback and you will stand the test of time

I love this place. This was my 4th visit and today there was a new dish on the starter menu.. the croquette. It was a tastebud sensation. A dish I would eat again and again. For the main the steak frites cooked to perfection. Topped off with a beautiful bottle of red… Beaujolais which without asking was decanted for us. Martin was the perfect host, knows his wines well. Thanks team ❤️

We had the pleasure of dining here this evening and were blown away from start to finish. The food was absolutely impeccable — every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and clearly crafted with genuine care and passion. You can tell that quality is at the heart of everything they do.
The service was equally impressive. The team were warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit. Nothing was too much trouble, and their enthusiasm added so much to the experience.
A real highlight of the evening was meeting the owner. His love for food and deep-rooted passion for what he does is infectious. Hearing him talk about the dishes and his inspiration made the meal feel personal and truly special.
This restaurant is a real gem. If you’re looking for incredible food, wonderful service, and an atmosphere filled with heart and dedication, look no further. We can’t recommend it highly enough — you’re in for an amazing treat!
