The best restaurants in Elvet County Durham North East

Stopped in on the pub and history tour and what a cozy little pub this is. Split into two bars its warm and snug which makes very welcoming. Very good selection of real ale and lager. Annoyed that i ran out of time and couldn't go back for another pint.

Must visit always my go to over anywhere in Durham for a great bit of grub. Staff always friendly and welcoming most of know my order off by heart. Would recommend to anyone visiting or from the area!

Really nice spot on the riverfront, and the flexible design-your-own-pizza made it easy to get a tasty vegetarian pizza. Our waiter, Thomas, was great, very flexible and helpful and helped get the food to us as quick as he could despite a 25+ person table ordering! Worth returning to.

Lovely cafe with option to sit in or take away. Great menu, good size portions and excellent value for money. Lovely relaxed atmosphere.

My wife and I visited the Hare and Hounds today after pre booking, which seems essential. We were not disappointed. It was the Best Sunday Roast we have had for years. Freshly cooked vegetables and a choice of beef lamb or pork very good portions of meat served to you then put your own veg and trimmings. All with the best gravy. Friendly staff and bee from onsite brewery. Strongly Recommend.

Lovely food, comfy chairs, big portions and decent prices at £24 for a very filling lunch for two. Would like to come back and try more from the menu. Only criticism so far is lack of proper baby changing facilities. I know space is an issue but all there is is a small, hard tiled counter.

Pre-booked with a group of 12 for a Friday evening. Arrived on time and shown promptly to our cosy tables upstairs. Lovely looking menu. First order, haddock and chips please (not unusual for such a venue) and told no haddock left, sold out! Oh. Ordered cod, there were several other good options on the menu. One offer is salad, chips, or half and half. Oh dear, salad sold out. Never mind. Meals all arrived in timely manner, all were very good. Home made tartare sauce excellent, but could have been more generous.

A great little spot down by the river. Had a cheese scone a brownie and a cappuccino.... scone was beautiful, lovely and fresh and the size of a boulder ! Coffee was very nice too all finished off with a gorgeous brownie. Definitely recommend to pop in if you've not been before.

We were looking for a restaurant in Durham and found this place early one Friday evening. The menu is not extensive but I would prefer to see a few dishes done well rather than lots of dishes done just ok! We ordered pasta, a pizza and the house red. The food and service was outstanding. We would recommend Coviello without hesitation.

Went to Durham to visit family, we were so lucky that we found this absolute gem. We were immediately greeted by the friendly staff, the restaurant was small but so busy, and we were lucky to get a table. The food was hot and fresh, the service was spot on. The price was more than reasonable. Will be back soon!

Fabulous little cafe based at the mining museum. A small but prefect menu with very reasonable prices and friendly staff.

We always call in here when in Durham as i hate prepackaged sandwiches. Fresh and tasty. Husband recommends the New Yorker.

We started coming here when it just opened and am so glad to see it still going strong and busy most nights. Situated at the crossroads before entering deeper Gilesgate, it's great for students or locals as it serves huge portions at very reasonable prices of pho, rice dishes, and their summer spring rolls are very delicious and absolutely huge. The Vietnamese iced tea is also very refreshing and the whole vibe of the restaurant is very homely whilst still appearing modern, and they provide a range of condiments for you to use at the table. Overall glad to see this local restaurant still going strong serving up fresh delicious Vietnamese meals.

Overall amazing restaurant with great tasting authentic and fresh food for a good price as well as lovely and efficient service!

Aways friendly and awailable. Good variety of choice, pizza, pasta, stakes. Love this place
