Baker’s Crust, a small restaurant and bakery tucked away in one of the small shopping centers along 21st street in downtown Norfolk, has been one of my favorite places to eat since my first trip down to the 757.



Until now, I had only eaten breakfast at Baker’s Crust, so I decided it was about time to go and try their dinner, which is advertised on small cards and centerpieces on tables throughout the restaurant.

 

Having always gone in the mornings, the restaurant has typically been very bright and inviting, but during this visit it seemed to be very dim and dark. For this reason, I opted to sit at the bar, because it was the brightest place in the entire restaurant.



Aside from the absence of any form of light, the restaurant has a really unique feel to it. As soon as you walk in, a large wood fire oven greets you, along with a few people baking and kneading bread.  Once you begin to look around, you almost feel as though you have been transported to a mom and pop bistro in the countryside of Italy.
