The best restaurants in North East

In Newcastle on a Sunday evening and went into Simla, as we passed by it was nearly full which we took as a great sign. It was not wrong. Lovely family run restaurant. Best Indian meal we have had. Definitely recommend the Lamb Tadka the meat was so tender. Definitely would go back the next time we are in Newcastle.

If you are on holiday or just passing by, do not fail to stop and enjoy this gem of a cafe and you will be welcomed like old friends by Andrew, his Team and of course his 'greeters', Sam and Rocky, his friendly Border Collies. The atmosphere and homeliness of this unique hostelry can only be appreciated by a visit, as also the food of course, which is delicious, generous, and ranges from scrumptious home made gateaux, to its widely renowned choice of meals. If possible do try its selection of delicious cooked breakfasts, which really set you up for your onward journey or for your trip to the many beaches and castles etc. in which this area abounds. If you want an experience as well as a hearty meal, we are certain you will not be disappointed - just read the many reviews....!!!

Visited earlier today with a friend & we both enjoyed the buffet immensely, delicious freshly cooked food with a varied choice of dishes, staff here are very attentive & nothing is a problem for them, clearly they care for their customers & are very professional, we will definitely be back & will recommend to friends 😊

Just had to write one final review of this excellent restaurant which is now sadly closed. We were lucky enough to have our second (and now, final) chance to try their tasting menu, and every dish was a delight. Looking forward to seeing whether there will be a new place with Michelin stars to try soon!

The food here is absolutely wonderful and the staff are attentive and friendly. I drive nearly 30 miles to dine here it is that good

Absolutamente 5 - servicio de estrellas y almuerzo y pastel para llevar eran deliciosos. Muy ocupado a la llegada como sábado a la hora del almuerzo. Pero, me las arreglé para encontrar una mesa para 4 arriba y tenía nuestra propia vista y habitación. Pedimos bebidas, almuerzo y pastel para llevar y todo estaba delicioso. Sin duda recomendaría si estás en Durham.

We went on my birthday as a family. We had two boys aged 12 and 10 years old and three adults. We opted for a starter each and a main course each. The steak I had was very tender and just right for how I had ordered it. It had a nice salad with it and I had a side of chips to go with it. It was very tasty. The other adults enjoyed their choices and the boys liked their choices too. The food arrived hot and tasty in a reasonable time. Great experience.

What a lovely place Guiseppe’s is. Small and cosy, the food was delicious, both the Rigatoni and the huge pizza! Service was excellent, so friendly and welcoming as soon as we walked into the restaurant. All for a great price too.

We travelled 40 miles to do a walk from Craster starting from The Piper's Pitch. We checked the evening before the opening times and that it would be open We planned on food there. Not open when we go there. Really disappointing. Spoke to staff in the Jolly Fisherman later and was told the opening is inconsistent .

10 / 10 comida, el personal es tan amable y se preocupan por sus necesidades y alergias. Recomendaría ir por comida. Currys y entrantes deliciosos

Lovely food, great service. All on time and relaxed. Just above the brilliant Pelaw Inn 👍👍👍👍 Top marks Well worth a visit.

I was there fir lunch today & it was gorgeous, very tasty, it isn't my first visit by any means & I have never had a bad meal, the portions are huge, the bar staff are friendly & the service is good, but the chef deserves a big pat on the back his food is delicious

Didn’t actually get to sit or eat anything which is clearly frustrating. We did wait to be attended to for probably 20 minutes during which time none of the staff had any courtesy to speak and advise availability of tables etc. Just too rude! Cakes looked good in the cabinets though 🙄. To be fair even if it was empty and the cakes were the best in the whole county, wouldn’t come back now!

We read reviews before going to Alnwick and restaurant sounded fab .. sadly Restaurant doing take away at present.so didnt sit in ..however it was honestly OUTSTANDING. NEVER tasted thai food so fresh it was my 50th and quite honestly it made my day....we got a takeaway and it was a meal we will never forget .This is a message to ANYONE who lives in or near Alnwick. If you want fresh... exceptional authentic tasting thai food packed with flavour and like to spend ure meals going..nom..nom..nom....out loud...this is the place for YOU.

No comí en el restaurante, pero pidió comida para llevar de última hora. Los principales langostinos tandoori desgranados morirán por 13 libras esterlinas. 95 pero vale cada centavo. Enormes langostinos alrededor de 8 en total Cocinado sin aceite. perfecto para mi viaje mundial de adelgazamiento 🥰🥰🥰
