Nestled in the heart of New York City at 119 W 56th St, NORMA’S stands out as a premier brunch destination, captivating diners with its inventive take on comfort food. Diners rave about the eclectic menu, featuring dishes like the Eggs Cellent—a delightful combination of Arepa Corn Cake, Sunny Side Up Eggs, and Chorizo, and the Banana Macadamia Pancakes which are a definite must-try. The generous portions make sharing a smart choice, as one satisfied guest noted, "a great brunch for two is just one main course and one portion for dessert.” Patrons like Natalie Siebers and Victor Englund highlight not just the deliciousness of the food, but also the exceptional presentation and attentive service. The vibrant atmosphere is complemented by bottomless fresh-squeezed orange juice, making every meal feel like an indulgent treat. Though the prices reflect the upscale qualities of the dishes, guests agree that the taste and presentation justify the cost. With offerings like Chocolate Decadence French Toast and savory Breakfast Dumplings, NORMA’S has successfully carved a niche for itself as a must-visit brunch spot. Each plate tells a story, and every bite leaves diners yearning for their next visit, establishing NORMA’S as not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience.

This place was pricey, but the food did not disappoint! Our table had a good representation of the menu between four of us. I had the breakfast quesadilla and it was INCREDIBLE! It was like an eclectic stoner with a culinary degree dreamt it up and put it on my plate.... actually that’s pretty much sums up their entire menu. Everything is gorgeously plated and equally delicious. Did I mention that was have bottomless fresh squeezed OJ?!

Fabulous place to get breakfast! Yes, it’s pricey but not really much more than the rest of the Brunches in the city and portions are huge! The banana macadamia pancakes were incredible- highly recommend them!

I can’t describe how delicious was this dish, just try to imagine the combination of Pancakes and Egg Benedict. It was beyond perfect, I enjoyed every bite of it. I would totally come back to NYC just to have my breakfast here. Waiter was so nice, everything about this place was on point ...

It is definitely pricey, BUT the plates are huge so great brunch for 2 is just: 1 main course and 1 portion for dessert. Don't take more - you will not make it:) Very intelligent and nice staff, delicious food and good coffee. Worth walking 15 minutes if you are in the area. Also, one of the few spots close to Central Park - and not over-crowded, which saves you time and mood in the morning :)

The best breakfast that I have ever eaten! We were four people and shared all the meals. We could not stop eating the risotto, all four of us like this the best. The quesadilla omelet was fantastic. Normas yaku was really tasty and had a fishy and shrimp taste. The chicken and mushroom omelet was also good. Also, the French press coffee, orange juice and the juice shot was really good. Staff was very friendly. All in all it was delicious!

Great brunch place for friends hangout. I had Norma's egg Benedict and my friend tried egg Benedict with salmon. They both were good. Eggs on a small cute pancake. Environment is awesome. And location is the key. Walkable to many landmarks.

Quite expensive but the food was amazing and the service on point. We went here on Christmas day for breakfast and can't think of anywhere better. Service was really attentive. The food was amazing and the portions are huge. If you're after something special for breakfast give it a try!
