The city centre restaurant with a city centre buzz. Smart but not stuffy, sleek but not pretentious, fun but not gimmicky, it’s about eating good food in comfortably stylish surroundings.
	A French country bistro on the edge of Durham, the restaurant is in the servants’ wing of an 18th century villa. The style is light and uncluttered, the menu full of classic, bistro-style dishes.
	A grand house with contemporary style, a leafy setting near the heart of the city. With 40 well-designed rooms in a richly historic building, Jesmond Dene House Hotel offers understated luxury and rather good food.
	Perky coffees, wicked pastries, perfect salads and comforting lunches. Café 21 at Fenwick brings a fresh new look to in-store eating.
