About Us
NORMAN’S is located on Orlando’s famed "Restaurant Row". Norman Van Aken is a restaurateur, chef, author, and James Beard recipient of “Who’s Who in America.” Credited with coining the term “Fusion Cuisine” in 1989, Van Aken is regarded as the “Founding Father of New World Cuisine.”
NORMAN’S offers a selection of culinary and mixology experiences, including a glass-enclosed wine cellar boasting an extensive list of varietals. The restaurant features a main dining room, two private dining rooms, and the ability to dine in the interior bar. The exterior covered patio called The Patio at Norman’s, was designed by RH Patio and offers a bar, lounge seating, signature cocktails, and small plates.
Both the dining room and the patio will feature Van Aken’s signature New World Cuisine dishes, as well as his newest culinary concepts.
