The best restaurants in Darlington North East

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!

Amazing service, amazing food! We tried some of the small plates, sharing platers and a main. Portions are excellent- we had to take some home. Gorgeous presentation and the cocktails were fab too! Will be returning

Excellent 👌. Prawn puri starter was amazing. Delicious tikka main and spicy veg side dish. Really good, fast service and friendly staff. Thanks

Really enjoyed the experience.Pleasantly surprised by the covid measures on way in.Made to feel very welcome.This is probably the smallest restaurant I've ever been to, but the food and service were excellent. If ever back in Darlington will definitely go back.Highly recommended.

Lovely family run business. Food was made on the premises and was great. The sausage rolls and cakes are amazing, we will definatly be going again. Friendly efficient staff and beautiful little tea room.

stopped off while on a bike ride, can of pepsi and bacon butty was just the ticket. Staff are ways friendly and currently follow covid19 procedures.

The premises is very clean rooms are comfortable very friendly rooms available for disabled near town

Visited with my daughter on our usual Saturday quest to taste scones wherever we end up. This Saturday we needed to visit Darlington so we asked a local shop owner where the best scones were and here was where he recommended. Small little cafe couple tables downstairs few more upstairs but we visited before lunch and got seated straight away. Although it was early was no fruit scones left which was disappointing so only managed to test the cheese scone - deluxe hot chocolate but no cream so daughter a tad disappointed They did warm scones if asked so nice bonus. Tea was in a teapot which is preferable but it was very strong. Some hot water might have helped I could have asked I guess Prices were good Service acceptable - not the fastest service when standing in queue. There was a large queue outside when we left so presume it gets rather busy at times.

Our office ordered from Peartree Hill Cafe the other week, there was about 10 of us ordering food. I messaged the cafe on Facebook and they were very helpful, getting back to me the same day with pictures of the menu and relevant information. We preordered the day before via Facebook messenger and my colleague rang up to confirm they received it etc. Food was ready on collection time, very easy process and the food was amazing! All homemade meals, including the chips. Great quality and would 100% recommend!

Came for dinner with my family . We loved our asian food mains which were amazing with lots of flavour, very impressive with restaurant service.

Brilliant experience, well worth a visit. Downstairs is a really nice wine bar and upstairs is the restaurant. The guy at the front of house was faultless, so attentive and a great host. Menu choice was really good and the quality of food was exceptional.

Lovely pasta, lovely team! If you like fresh pasta, you're going to love this place. Veronika the owner Is so nice and does the best pasta. It's definitely worth a visit, I'd recommend the Joe's as it has lots of lovely Veggies in it, or the chicken/bacon tomato pasta. Mmm.

I have both eaten here and just popped in for a latte . The staff and service are faultless and it is one of my favourite places to visit. Don’t be afraid of going on your own as the staff and the customers are very welcoming and friendly. The food is of the highest standard and the home baking is particularly tasty ,great value for money and a must to visit

We have tried many chinese takeaways in Darlington, and this is by far the best! Tasty, freshly cooked, hot and quick from ordering to picking it up, thank you!

What a pleasant find. Initially we walked passed thinking it was just a sandwich bar because all of the restaurants were shut on Monday we came back. Thank goodness we did, a good choice of freshly cooked healthy meals, my chicken flatbread was delicious.
