Two Norwich restaurants have been named among the best in the country. Blue Joanna and Jorge's Restaurant have both made the finals in the Food Awards England 2026, which are held annually to celebrate top establishments across the country and recognise those delivering top-notch food, outstanding service and memorable customer experiences.
Blue Joanna, located on Unthank Road in the Golden Triangle, is known for its Asian-inspired small plates and has been nominated in the best pan Asian food category. The restaurant is particularly popular for its Korean blue corn tacos. Jorge's Restaurant, situated on Red Lion Street, is contending for the best Mediterranean category. Opened by Jorge Santos and his wife Eleanor in late 2018, the restaurant quickly gained a reputation for its Portuguese seafood and steak offerings. Last year it won best Mediterranean establishment in the south of England.
Yasmin Mahmood, CEO of Oceanic Awards, said the quality of nominations this year had been exceptional, demonstrating the passion and excellence shaping the food and hospitality industry. The awards ceremony will be held at the Grand Station in Wolverhampton on 9 November.
