Norman Restaurants

Because the University of Oklahoma dominates almost every aspect of life in Norman, you'll find a vibrant, youthful dining experience both on campus and downtown. It's easy to find cheeseburgers and beer, but if you are looking for a more upscale dining experience, there are some diamonds in the rough. A more sophisticated palate can enjoy pasta Calabresi, seared duck breast, or spicy curried shrimp. Downtown Norman is the perfect place for someone looking for a pub or traditional American diner. That said, you can also start your day with a tamale breakfast platter or enjoy authentic Venezuelan dishes. More formal dining is available along the perimeter of town, and you'll feel like a college kid if you eat at one of the many casual restaurants adjacent to campus.
