Jorge’s Restaurant, located on Norwich’s Red Lion Street, recently received the title of Southern Enterprise Award. This honor is given by SME News and recognizes small and medium-sized businesses of quality across the south of England. Jorge’s Restaurant, which was opened by Jorge Santos and his wife Eleanor in late 2018, has quickly gained a reputation for its delicious range of Portuguese seafood and steak. The restaurant’s menu offers a variety of options, including barbecue specialties, Hereford steak, Mozambique tiger prawns, and Wagyu beef.
In a statement shared to social media, the owners of Jorge’s Restaurant expressed their gratitude to their team and guests for their support. They thanked their staff for their hard work and dedication, and expressed their appreciation to their guests for supporting the restaurant. As they celebrated receiving the Southern Enterprise Award, the owners also announced the closing of their neighboring establishment, Jorge’s Tasca brunch and tapas bar. This decision was made to allow Mr. Santos to spend more time with his family and to focus on Jorge’s Restaurant.
The neighboring Jorge’s Tasca is located in the glass-fronted Pivotal House in Orford Yard, and its final day of operation will be December 23. This closure will allow Mr. Santos to shift his focus to Jorge’s Restaurant and to spend more time with his family. The award win and the decision to shift focus and close Jorge’s Tasca highlights the dedication of the owners to their restaurant and the importance of finding balance between work and family life. As the owners celebrate their award win, they also express their appreciation for their team and their guests and look forward to continuing to serve delicious Portuguese cuisine at Jorge’s Restaurant.
