Norma
Pasta and wine bar Norma is quickly shaping up as one of Albury’s best eats.
Located in a former convenience store, the newly-opened space is now a stylish and intimate restaurant serving house-made pasta (casarecce, spaghetti, linguine, and pappardelle).
Side dishes are zesty and fresh including butter broth mussels; and heirloom tomato with peach and whipped ricotta.

Bistro Selle
The rave reviews of Bistro Selle practically speak for themselves. Since opening in 2017, owner Matthew Fuller and head chef Tara Davis have been delivering refined European cuisine from their seasonal, curated menu.
