The best restaurants in St Michael's Sunderland North East

Amazing place, amazing food and amazing staff. We highly recommend the fresh cooked delicious food . If you haven’t been you’re missing out

Very friendly service and good food. Sweet Petite brings a bit of class to the High Street in Sunderland city centre. I hole they do well.

Had a lovely lunch here today with my parents. Food very tasty and fresh. Love the quirky interior and the owner is very welcoming. Great to find a new place to lunch close to home. Will definitely be returning. Looking forward to trying the homemade tiramisu next time. Excellent value.

Excelente comida casera. Que disfrutamos en todo el mundo. Comida incluida bandeja de quingombó salchichas y rollitos de queso.

Great food, wraps are amazing and seasoned chips taste great. Chicken shawarma is my go to order but also love the cheese garlic bread. The portion size is very filling with the wrap and chips :)

What a hidden gem! Afternoon tea today at The Coppertree Cafe. Choice of 3 sandwiches, fruit scone or lemon and blueberry with clotted cream and jam, a cheese scone, steak or corned been pie or quiche, and a choice of freshly baked cakes! I went for lemon slice and Nutella cake. A macaron and unlimited tea and coffee. All of this for £12.50!!! Can’t believe theses lovely ladies bake everything fresh each day and they have only been open for 3 months. They also do a range of home cooked meals homemade broth, chicken curry etc! I would definitely recommend a visit!

A lovely shop with delicious ice cream and sorbet, as well as the most wonderful staff! Having been turned away from another ice cream shop due to my 5yo niece’s milk allergy, the staff at Ross Gelato couldn’t have been more accommodating and kind. She quite literally jumped around when they brought her an ice cream with toppings just like the others. Thank you so much for making a little girls day!

Went to Delights on Thursday for our dinners I got chicken curry with rice it was lovely and a nice sized potion my husband got chilli with rice he's said the chilli tasted nice and it again was a nice portion will be going their again

Tandoor Dishes were top drawer, prompt and polite service. We all enjoyed the food. many thanks for understanding our needs,

Most beautiful food, all hot and fresh and the fish is lovely. The curry and gravy are also lovely and they do gluten free

Ordered from here all the time but one night it never showed up so we rang to chase it up and requested a refund. After days of chasing it up myself they kept shrugging me off and hanging the phone up saying they'd ring back and never did. I was very patient and got annoyed towards the end and got shouted at. The manager flat out lied saying we got our order even though his own staff member admitted the order was received but never sent out why would a regular customer lie about 18.50 and go through all that trouble? Do not order here, happens a lot apparently. Terrible food, terrible customer service.

Lovely setting & very tasty food (breakfast). Very attentive & service with a smile. Would definitely recommend & will return to try lunch at some point!

Absolutely fantastic food, best sea bass dish I have ever had. Very welcoming staff and great atmosphere. Will be back very very soon.

So I’ll start with a positive …. We booked a table after visiting previously where the food and service was excellent. We brought some friends and on arrival were shown promptly to our table. The restaurant was busy and had a lovely buzzy feel however …….. we waited nearly half an hour to be asked if we’d like drinks, we ordered a bottle of red and a chilled bottle of white. They arrived 10 minutes later … with no glasses. We waited another 10 minutes for the glasses to arrive after having to ask the rather abrupt waitress … the glasses had clearly just come out of the dishwasher as they were red hot so had to wait another 15 mins for them to cool so we could pour our wine. Our starters were nice but the main courses … I ordered the lobster tortellini from the specials board …. What arrived was a seafood ravioli which was so salty I couldn’t eat it. The pollo alla crème was rubbery and not nice. To be fair, when the waitress asked if our meals were ok and I said about my pasta, without hesitation she said she’d take it off the bill. We were so disappointed as we’d really looked forward to it after a previous great experience - not likely to return sadly

Where to start as I’m lost for words to be honest. This is hands down the worst food experience we’ve ever had! Both starters and main courses were poor quality and not as described on the menu. Frozen prawns and gamberoni had no taste. The ‘flat’ steak was like shoe leather (and very little of it) and the chips seemed to have been reheated and fried in really old oil. The chicken was very dry with some tinned tomatoes thrown on top of it… no sign of cheese or cream as promised on the menu. No hint of ant Italian herbs or garlic either. Just awful. Served with 2v small boiled potatoes and frozen veg. We paid £45 and were robbed. Just can’t believe we fell for the great reviews. I suppose everyone has different quality standards and we won’t ever return.
