Don Txoko in Norwich

The chef menu deteriated from my previous experiences some time ago, where the macaroon-like burger was amazing and dishes were more creative. While the portion sizes are filling, and they accommodate dietary replacements, the flavouring is abit heavy (too salty with the mushroom entree /too sweet with the desert), and the tuna was dead frozen. The steak's side dish was slightly disappointing. Over not the quality or culinary skill you'd expect from tasting menus, but not extremely overpriced either to be infuriated. Slightly dissapointing, probably

I had the seafood paella and it was delicious. Lovely staff and would definitely come back

We really enjoyed our meal at Don Txoko. I do think the portion sizes of the tapas are a bit skimpy and there was no meat in my clams, which was odd but all of our food was tasty.

Had better quality meat mant times, but the cooking was fantastic. Service charge added, seated in window with others, so empty place looks busy. Over priced!

The albondigas and pulpo dishes were outstanding. Service from Em and Izzie could not have been better. As ever we were made to feel like valued customers and we will certainly be returning soon.

Bad service considering it wasn't full, forgot our starters and served our sharing steak, didn't come back with a resolution or apology just suggested we buy dessert if we are not full, shoe horned the bill in to rush us out the door and expected us to pay service charge. Steak was nice, although quite fatty. Also they were pre cut so you couldn't really pick which size you wanted so minimum was around 80 pound for 1 steak. Probably would have returned if there was some kind of apology or resolution for forgetting half our meal. Would not recommend or return for how expensive it is.

Had a great meal and will return

A Basque culinary experience in Norwich, not to be missed. Vibrant atmosphere and friendly attentive staff.

Absolutely outstanding! We'd been lucky to get a table on their first night opening, then again in December 2023. Food is excellent, delicious steak, gorgeous wine. The staff were friendly and talked us through the menu options expertly. Definitely going back when we're next in Norwich

Brilliant service from Em, amazing food and great value. Can’t rate this restaurant highly enough.

It has been on my list for a while and I am now gutted I waited so long to visit Don Txoko. One of my new favourite restaurants. The service was amazing and the menu was top drawer. I can't wait to come back and try more!

Fabulous lunch and delightful server who knew her stuff. We will definitely be back!

Amazing, beautiful tapas, great wine. Will definitely be visiting again ☺️

Do we have halal meat options on the menu?

First visit here & we loved it. Food was fantastic, staff were friendly & service was excellent. Will definitely be returning

Nice food but have your wallet ready. We would rather cook it at home and save the cash… Sorry guys 🙃

Fantastic food and the staff were so friendly first time we had ever eaten there we will definitely be back when we next come to Norwich. Amazing

Great tasting food and friendly service

Our second visit. Not disappointed! Octopus starter superb and the txuleton was stunning. Seasonal tomatoes were a bonus. Please support them!

Nice place, good service, liked it!

Tasty food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Really delicious Tapas Great Rioja Knowledgeable wait staff and friendly family atmosphere but still felt sophisticated and special We will definitely book again and highly recommend this hidden gem!

Lovely restaurant, charming service, relaxing atmosphere (loved the guitar music gently playing in the background). The grilled Lamb chops were particularly delicious (and good value) - as were the cheese cake and the Basque version of crème brulée. The charcuterai was also full of flavour - the fine slicing really helped bring that out (although I felt a few more slices might have helped). I was slightly disappointed with the croquets - they tasted good (a chicken and red pepper filling) but there were only three - which didn't seem much for the price (5 would have been more reasonable). We enjoyed the large bowl of padron peppers to share - nicely charred and salty - even though I was the lucky person to get the spanking hot one (which nearly blew my socks off). The Moongazer Pintail was (as expected) excellent - the light crisp flavour worked well with the other dishes - the red sangria was also apparently good - and the small glass of sherry (on the house) much appreciated. Overall an excellent experience - and still good value at £70 for two (including service - happily paid - and VAT). Would recommend to others and hope to return for the steaks on some future special occasion.

I should start with the exceptional service offered by the staff members. Their elegance was charming too. We absolutely loved the octopus. It was properly made and was cooked towards perfection. Cannot say the same for the aubergines as they were a bit rubbery (very common mistake outside of the Mediterranean and Asia). All the seafood was very fresh and well-made (not too dry, not too soft. They were slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chef has preserved all the rich taste.

Great Spanish tasting menu and the beef was amazing. Unlike other tasting menus I've had, here, halfway through, I was already concerned I might not be able to manage the pudding... but I did...

Wonderful experience in a lovely setting. Thank you for looking after us even though we were a larger group, you made it an amazing night. Highly recommended

Excellent, intimate restaurant with superb food and wine list.

Best restaurant we've tried in Norwich! Reminded us of our time on the Camino de Santiago. Authentic feel to the place unlike many UK tapas restaurants. Recommend the lamb chops.

Incredible spot - beautiful food (octopus starter is out-of-this-world) and the team are superb. Could not recommend more

Best steak in Norwich, great wine list, warm welcome.

We were given a very warm and friendly welcome immediately we entered Don Txoko. Knowledgeable waitress gave excellent advise on the menu options coupled with extremely attentive service. This was accompanied by an exceptional meal in a lovely setting right in the heart of the city. Definitely recommend a visit and undoubtedly be returning soon.

Lovely meal with great service. Thank you!

Food was great, a little pricey but definitely worth the money. I had a few appetisers/small plates as a main meal which worked well and were all delicious. The place is quite small, which can make it nice and cosy but we went on a really hot day so it was a struggle, even with the air conditioning. Staff were all lovely!

Another super meal at this amazing restaurant. The croquettas and charcuterie board were both very tasty, the octopus on very thinly slices potatoes was quite simply a masterpiece, and the wine, Gallina de Piet 'Ikigall' from Cataluna was a great accompaniment. The serving staff are always knowledgeable, friendly and efficient, and the chefs are talented and innovative. Good idea to book as it's not a large restaurant and it's very popular. Once you've been you'll definitely want to return!!

Had a very rare date night with my wife and first time going. Deeana was superb serving us! Food was delicious, highlight was the steak and the wine choices were very well paired, interesting and quality. We had a wonderful evening and will be back again!

We sat outside which was fine although tables a bit wobbly. Our meal was good and service was great. We felt the Triple cooked patatas were a bit salty , however, the other dishes were tasty and nice. Would go again, but need a steak partner to try one of their steaks which are on display inside.

The restaurant itself was lovely and so were the staff. I just thought it was incredibly pricey for what it was. Basically £18 for a big bowl of rice. However, it was tasty as was the wine.

So disappointing, menu looked amazing but ‘aged’ steak was clearly gone off. We complained and they did nothing…

Loved this. Ibérico pork was just amazing and steaks looked and smelt great from round the room. Squid was proper pieces of fresh squid cooked perfectly. Batatas bravas were like the best most fluffy crispy roast potatoes. And the creme Catalana to finish was such a clever change from vanilla creme brulee - subtle, complex and delicious. And you get proper crispy caught rice in the bottom of the paella - smoky and salty - my favourite bit.

Delicious combination of boquerones, calamari, lamb cutlets in a hazelnut romesco, followed by a rice pudding.

Lovely food and full restaurant which shows why it has good ratings on Trip advisor

We went to this place before coming back to Canada... We just loved it, the food amazing, great atmosphere, good service.. we even had the pleasure to met the chef, Ricardo, a young, dinamic and welcoming spanish guy... we felt at home, is a must for us to came back in our next holidays.... Very well deserved 5 stars for Ricardo and his team...

My husband and I visited on the bank holiday weekend and we had an incredible meal. It was our first visit to Norwich so we didn’t know what to expect. We ordered multiple dishes and every one of them was beautifully prepared, authentic and delicious. The Sea bream was spectacular. The service was so friendly and for the amount we ate the bill was surprisingly reasonable. If we’re ever back in Norwich, we will definitely return!

Fantastic food, a little gem in norwich. 100% recommended, we will definitely come back

Very overpriced, super small portions and can’t say it was authentic Spanish cuisine. The service was not very attentive, we had to ask for another bottle of ourselves and more bread to which we were welcomed to ‘it’s going to cost £3’ not that’s it’s not a problem. Went for a special occasion, wouldn’t go back.

I was totally underwhelmed by the food . The taste of the gambas in garlic sauce was rather weak and the main pork dish was disappointing as were the patatas bravas. The service was good however and the people friendly. But I won't go back . I did share these impressions with an attentive manager .

I honestly don’t know where to start. This was one of the nicest meals I have had. Now, I’ve had some steak in my time, this was one of the best, incredible! Everything about our meal was prefect, Great food, great wine & a great atmosphere. Really friendly and welcoming! See you very soon

First time visit for Saturday lunch. Very friendly and knowledgeable hostess, good glass of recommended wine, excellent food and location. I’ll be back

Absolutely lovely food,we done the taster menu and em our lady was lovely, explained every corse and wine to match,she was brilliant and well done to the chefs too,will definitely be going back, thankyou x

Amazing service from the staff, food was really nice, I had the hake and it was amazing! The patatas bravas were a bit disappointing though but that's personal opinion.

Wonderful food and service. The sharing steak in particular was amazing and choosing your steak to share was a fabulous experience. The sharing whole fish looked delicious too! My photos are not the best but you can see the quality of selection. The tapa and starters and nibbles were excellent too, as was the Basque cheese selection and my partners dessert. Not the cheapest place but I'd say the quality means it's great value. Very lovely staff, we even had a brief little chat with the two chefs who made our food as it was coming to the end of the night, lovely guys. Really nice atmosphere, delicious food, great service.

This place is amazing . Great food , great atmosphere and staff. One of the best steaks I ever had which will make me return again and again .

Amazing food, highly recommend! Staff were very friendly and professional, can’t wait to come back!

The Chef’s Menu and wine pairing were amazing! What a lovely way to spend a Saturday lunchtime. Thank you so much. We will return without a doubt!

One of the best dining experiences I had in Norwich. Server was super nice and attentive. Food was tasty, well cooked and well presented. We had octopus, wild mushrooms, meatballs and tapas. Chef is great and I would definitely recommend this place.

Brilliant night at Don Txoko. The staff were very knowledgeable and passionate about the menu, and above all lovely. The steak was immense, highly recommended.

Brilliant food, exquisite service! The chef and the waitress are fabulous. The food is really good 👍 probably one of the best I tried in Norwich so far. I will come back in no time. 200% Highly recommended!!! Well done to the owner.

Excellent service - the waiter Ali was incredibly knowledge is a first rate waiter. The food was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic, loved every minute of our visit. The 10 course taster meal was great and the staff very friendly.

Excellent service. Fine food of the type we enjoyed in Northern Spain with a local twist. We will be back

Finally visited this Basque grill after 5 years in Norwich. Definitely one of my new favourites. Exemplary service. Galician aged rib to die for.

Had the best steak in my life here!!!! Thank the staff for keeping the grill for us since we ordered a bit late... Food was great and you must try their grilled steak if you’re here!!!

The gift that keeps on giving. Incredible steaks and wonderful staff. Highly recommend

Absolutely fabulous food, excellent service, friendly and knowledgable staff!! Can't recommend this place enough!!

Amazing! The best meal my partner and I have had in a long time. Would highly recommend.

Impeccable food. Had the taster menu and each course was a delightful surprise. Our server was polite, informed and warm. A small, intimate establishment with character.

Lovely food, friendly service. Thank you. 😊

We managed to get the last free table on a walk in (would recommend booking!) The starters of grilled mushrooms and chorizo salad were delicious, the sharing steak was cooked wonderfully and melted in the mouth, and I don't say that lightly as I have high standards for steak! Staff were attentive and knowledgeable, when in Norwich please pay this place a visit.

Excellent service, excellent food...loved it.

Great food, great service, wine options were very limited, but what they did have was good... Food beautifully cooked by picky people, can't ask for better than that.

A wonderful meal out for our anniversary. The food was superb. We had starters, wine, shared the grilled fish, deserts and coffee (and a stunning free glass of sherry too). They source quality ingredients and it does make a difference. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. We wish we lived locally to sample EVERYTHING on the menu...there was a couple near to us having the taster menu. I did look over quite longingly at that too! We were looked after well by the staff and the ambience was gorgeous. A very memorable evening. Thank you all!

Simply excellent food and great staff, will be back very soon

The best steak you will have in Norwich, not particularly expensive either, super lovely staff too.

The meal was phenomenal and the service outstanding and especially one individual Alistair who went above and beyond to make our visit very comfortable and pleasant. A fine dining experience.

Wonderful aged steak, full of flavour, plus 5 star service.

Best dining experience in norwich to date. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and the atmosphere was intimate and friendly. Suzanne was an incredible host and waitress, the wine was perfect and the food was all delicious. We will definately be returning. Thanks Dan & Rachel

My favourite restaurant in Norwich. The food is amazing, the service is excellent and every time we go it just keeps getting better. We are very lucky to have such an excellent restaurant in Norwich

I booked here for my daughters birthday and from my 1st email to arriving, the food and service were amazing. The lady who 1st served us was warm, engaging and helpful in guiding us newbies on the menu and choices. The atmosphere was fantastic, the food was superb and we will definitely be returning and recommending.

Excellent plates, wide variety and vamue for money. Good staff.

Nice place . Quite expensive especially for steaks had a lot better steaks nearby and better portions. Was left starving.

Outstanding food, reasonably priced, excellent service and great ambience. We ate almost everything from the tapas menu and nothing disappointed - the ham croquetas and the bacalao churros were particular highlights. I'll be coming back as often as my bank account allows it!

So, so, so good. Loved the food, and front of house was excellent. Fabulous birthday meal.

First time at Don Txoko and tried their winter tasting menu which was truly a great experience. Amazing food and really friendly staff. Will definitely return to try their tapas!

Had some great padron peppers, then the cod and pork. Nice glass of wine and a half of Estrella. Service was friendly and the food was good.

We had the steak tasting menu on Saturday. It was simply incredible. Amazing service and wonderful flavours.

Truly authentic food,it's like Spanish dining on your doorstep! All the staff are friendly and professional. Great place to go and really appreciate everything on the menu. 💯🥇
