Frank's Bar

Norwich's culinary quotient is on the rise and there are places like Frank's Bar that appeals to anyone who is on the lookout for good food and plenty of fun in a quirky setting. Located on Bedford Street, the décor of the place is generally off-beat with plain walls and mismatched furniture, and an outdoor courtyard for al fresco dining.

The menu is a happy balance of tapas-style nibblers, platters, salads, sandwiches and grazers, and the ingredients are locally sourced and seasonal. Starters of spicy lamb kebabs with tzatziki and couscous with feta and broad beans set the scene, while Frank's bar platter of bread, olives and homemade hummus is a good bet if you're in a mood to share. Traditional dishes like crispy pork belly and pan-fried tilapia fillet fare best among main courses.

Watching a classic film with a cup of coffee in hand is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and then linger on to listen to some live music in the evening as well.
