Seafood lovers can enjoy Italian-style dishes fresh from the ocean at a new restaurant which has opened in Norwich.
Lord's Restaurant has opened in Upper St Giles Street, offering Italian-inspired seafood dishes and cocktails.
The restaurant is owned by Klodjan Xhaferrlari, who secured the premises before the Covid pandemic and after moving to Norwich in 2019.
Manager Lilah Suazo said: "We wanted to do something to fill the gap in the market, and there hasn't been a seafood restaurant for a while.
"We want to have that elegance and sophistication of fine dining, whilst being more relaxed.
"The food and great service will be the centre of attention - delivering something new to Norwich. It is going to be a lively place."

With 20-plus years of combined experience working in Italy, the chefs have created a menu which features pasta, risotto, oysters and crudo, to name a few, with the ethos of "dining locally, eating globally".
The menu also features a selection of vegetarian dishes, alongside homemade bread and dessert - including pannacotta, soufle and tirimasu.
While fish is currently sourced from Billingsgate market, the restaurant aims to move this sourcing locally, as their fruit and vegetables are already sourced around the city, including from Norwich market.
Mr Xhaferrlari said: "The food is really good with the freshness of it.
