About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Good for business meals
  • Kid-friendly
Found in the Le Parker Meridien hotel in downtown New York, Norma's is an ideal spot to grab breakfast or lunch. The warm, relaxed atmosphere at Norma's will make you feel right at home. Open until 3 p.m. every day, the menu reflects traditional cooking like your mom would make along with twists on hearty items. The menu at Norma's features mostly breakfast items that are well suited for lunch too. Choose a traditional breakfast option such as buttermilk pancakes or eggs Benedict. Looking for something more unique? Try the breakfast pizza or the Nutella-packed jacks. Pair anything with the fresh fruit that's served daily. For lunchtime items, there's also a Cobb salad or even chicken pot pie. Don't worry that Norma's isn't open for dinner. The portions are large enough to fill you right up.

    We read that it was declared the "best restaurant for brunch in NYC", proven also by the lack of space on "opentable". We barely found one table somewhere late past midday -for Saturday brunch. From there on, nothing matched the description or our expectations. The square space with no windows, filled with tables, the tired/bored/unfriendly personnel, the worst cappuccino/esspresso we ever had in our life -sour/bitter/burnt tasting, the very high prices (considering we were for brunch where each one takes more than one dish) compared to the internet posting of "affordable prices". In all, the brunch experience was a disaster, the only plus was that they accepted to remove the cappuccino from the bill, but I wouldn't recommend this place.

    This was my boyfriend and I's second time at Norma's, and it was even better this time around. Is that even possible? Norma's delivers again, we can't wait for the next time we'll come.

    I read online that Norma's was one of the best if not the best brunch restaurant in NY. It's pricey, but it's worth it as a special treat. The food was so amazing we took pictures of it before we ate. And it was delicious. I definitely recommend Norma's.

    Norma's is a great place to grab brunch/lunch if you don't mind spending more money than usual. There is no liquor so mimosas are not on the menu :(. However the portions here are huge and the food is great. My friend got the lox on lox bagel. The smoked salmon was a little to salty and the bagel was thin-almost like a cracker. I ordered the foie gras french toast. It was huge and had a generous amount of foie, however it wasn't cooked to my liking. The ambience was diner like, something you wouldn't expect from a place with sushi high prices. There's no dress code so it's fairly relaxed. Overall it was a great dining expierence. Everyone should eat here at least once. But save this place for special ocasssions.

    We received a recommendation from a friend of ours who had just visited NYC. We made reservations on OPENTABLE, arrived a bit early, but we were still seated very quickly. The food was excellent, somewhat pricey, but well worth the price in the quality of the food and the terrific service by the attentive waitstaff. We will recommend it now to our friends from Texas who travel to NYC. We will return as well every trip.

    An excellent experience! Salmon Benedict was superb! There were about 10 other entrees I wanted to try. Waiter seemed to be bored with us like we were interfering with his job. Would return in a New York minute.
