When you think of Norfolk, Virginia the first thing that comes to mind of most people is the world’s largest military base. But it’s also becoming one of the best foodie destinations in the country.
We recently featured 5 restaurants in downtown Norfolk that are simply outstanding on our Destination Virginia show. If you’d like to remind yourself just how good these restaurants are before checking out the list, CLICK HERE!
Considered the core of the Hampton Roads/Coastal Virginia area, the city is bordered to the west by the Elizabeth River and to the north by the Chesapeake Bay so seafood would understandably come to mind first……but there is such a wide variety of types of great food here in Norfolk, that we had felt it important to list of the top 10 places to eat in this bustling city.
So we’ve partnered up with Yelp Hampton Roads to bring you this curated list, based on Yelp reviews from the past year.
