Don Txoko is a small independent Spanish restaurant at 26 St Benedicts Street in Norwich. The kitchen connects the warmth and sociability of a Spanish table with seasonal produce from British fields and shores, creating a focused setting for food designed to be shared.
Everything is cooked from scratch in the compact kitchen, with small plates arriving in a sequence that encourages the table to order together. Spanish flavours guide the cooking, while careful sourcing allows vegetables, seafood and meat to change naturally with the seasons.
Charcoal is central to the restaurant’s identity. Dry aged steaks and other well sourced meats gain depth from the grill, while whole wild fish such as turbot or brill can appear according to market availability and must be ordered in advance.
A wine list spanning Spain’s different regions is chosen to accompany both lighter tapas and richer grilled dishes. The limited weekly service and intimate scale reward advance planning, but they also give Don Txoko the personal, unhurried quality suggested by its communal approach to dining.
