TheForkUserOne of our favourite restaurants in the world because everything on the menu is just delicious and by now we probably tried almost everything from them! The pizza is the best I ever had and as a desert I highly recommend their tiramisu!

TheForkUserthe ambience, scenery, location, setting is a 5 stars for sure.. the food was good but my only deception was the cod fish.. the menu should have emphasised this was not fresh cod but salted cod. The server did mention the dish was salty but there's a huge difference between being salty and not fresh fish. That part of the meal completely threw us off of what could have been an exceptional experience.

TheForkUserThank you very much for the two wonderful meals in your restaurant. We became aware of Norma through the Michelin guide. A first visit for lunch offered us aromatic, very fresh and imaginative dishes in a wonderful ambience. The flavors and ideas of the recipes and the concept of Norma inspired us.We were so impressed that we tried the large tasting menu again two days later. We were also impressed the second time. The menu was changed for us by the very flexible service and the kitchen, so that we were not served dishes that we had already eaten on our first visit.The service is also very attentive and we were looked after very well, as if we were good friends. Miguel Marques, head chef since March 2025, and his team are truly sensational in the way they play with the flavors, whether fish, meat or dessert. We wish you many guests who appreciate what very good cuisine means. A real treat! Susanne and Christian

TheForkUserEasy like Sunday morning. One look at the menu and I realized that if half of what was promised was delivered, we were just fine.The hamburgers were great. Mine was a smash burger so I didn't expect it to be very juicy or anything, but it was packing flavour, the truffle sauce wasn't too overwhelming and bread was perfect for this kind of burger. Everyone else enjoyed their burgers as well.The assortment of fries options delivers quite well.We had a jar of passion fruit lemonade. Fresh, not too sweet, great value for money.The menu left me thinking I'd need to be back to try other burgers, the real thing made me sure of it. Staff is nice, effective and forthcoming.

TheForkUserA new restaurant tucked behind a shopping gallery. There were only 2 other customers during a Thursday dinner.Food is pan-iberian. We had very good patatas bravas and a flamed sausage as starters, and shared a paella which had quite a lot of liquid and not the socarrat we like. We got also a good tuna spread sandwich as a bonus. The waiter is sweet but shy with customers. Give this place a chance and try it yourself.
