Really tasty food and a lovely atmosphere even though we went on a very rainy lunchtime so it was very quiet. My next visit will definitely be in the evening and I can't wait! Denis is super-friendly and very keen to explain the flavours, which is great. No wonder this restaurant is so popular and needs booking plenty in advance!

Just back from meal at Chez Denis. Food absolutely delicious. Try the Gumbo farcis - to die for. I had the barracuda for my main course. The creole sauce was so so delicate and scrumptious I really could've had it all over again - even though I was full. The restaurant is small, cosy and intimate. Waiter service was excellent... More

Fantastic freshly made food, the restaurant owner was on hand to explain the courses and to give great 'hostcare'. As with all carribean food, very rum focused! Overall a great dinner night out, cudos to the homemade spiced rum!

Went for a meal for two. Restaurant is not big and tables can be a bit cramped but this is easily one of the best restaurants in Norwich. Friendly service and outstanding food. Definitely a recommend & will go again!

Amazing hospitality - the warmth of Denis's welcome is only matched by that of his home made hot sauce. For a family celebration this was a bit of a gamble - my old mother's not the biggest fan of spicy food, but after an amazingly rich creole steak dish, she's a convert. Our 8 year old daughter on the other... More

A warm friendly welcome awaits you at this cosy hidden away bistro. The food is of the highest quality, an evening visit would have been great I bet the place is buzzing. They also know how to cater for celiacs.

Great restaurant serving Caribbean / Creole style food. Welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, not too formal or pretentious in any way. Quite a small place but not many tables means you get great, personal service. The food is excellent and you get plenty of it. The rum punch is definitely worth trying! Good value for money too

We had a Tuesday evening meal and had a very friendly reception from Denis himself. The food was very good and nothing was too much trouble. A little pricey-drinks definitely bumped it up, but would definitely visit again (you get what you pay for comes to mind). Denis treated us to some of his own recipe Rum. WOW if you... More

Visited this restaurant with our friends Karen and Richard as a party of four on Sat 13th April. Not only were we impressed with the quality of the food, but the service was outstanding.
