Christelle and Franck, the bosses of the brand, have a sense of concept, hospitality and gastronomy. Norima is a nice bar and an excellent restaurant. Nourished by culinary influences from Texas, North Carolina and Georgia where they lived, these two young Ivorians sublimate the flavours made in USA with local ingredients. The menu offers pasta, tex-mex assortments, mixed salads, burgers (including the amazing Catfish and Camembert Burgers), delicious Cajun specialties... It's good and well presented, elegant as the place is.

A disaster this restaurant. objective explanations: I phone to book. When I arrive I get a table for children, my knees are above the table. This one is in the central aisle… I'm saying that I'm over 60… I'm finally being changed, or I'm going back. I order a Ricard delivered without water… We order a false net. They are served boiled as a pot at fire!! We have to claim the wine list… we have to demand wine… We serve the bottle as we finish the dish… We must demand bread that comes at the end of meals… We have to ask for the dessert card… When paying a man s approach as responsible and asks if we are satisfied. To my negative answer he does not engage in any discussion and put the addition that we pay. 72,000 F to two for a meal and zero arched service. Strongly discounsels… not to mention there is no soundproofing in the room. Place to escape. Not up to what is announced. I fully assume what I say.

Norima, un nom japonisant pour un spot « American Cuisine » situé derrière la rue des Jardins à proximité du non moins célèbre club house. Un lieu bas de plafond ou venir brunché le dimanche mais ou l’ambiance peut se révéler pesante dès qu’il y a un peu trop de monde à déjeuner : on ne s’entend pas. Norima, les cocktails de bon aloi mais trop sucré, le miroir extérieur xxl et la climatisation raisonnable ou se décline une carte de saveurs étatsunienne et sud-américaine. La décoration y est raffinée, les portions généreuses, les frites (comme trop souvent aux USA) surgelés mais accompagnées de burgers parfaitement cuit fondant sous la langue ou on cherche à percevoir l’ombre de cette mayonnaise fumée vantée sur la carte… Mais le Norima c’est aussi quelques desserts décevants, un cheesecake lourd au possible qui ne m’as pas permis de retrouver les saveurs de mon dernier séjour au pays de Georges Washington. Un spot intéressant pour un burger, un début de soirée plein de cocktail avant de manger un bout et de se diriger vers un vendredi soir plein de promesses…
The best at Abidjan and around

Mais bon le cote hangar ou hall de gare de la salle penalise le concept.
Cela devient vite bruyant.
