If you like Greek food (and even if you don?!) you will love Kaminaki. The food is superb and as good if not better than any I have eaten in Greece. The staff are very welcoming and always look after you. This restaurant is now my favourite place to eat and the prices are amazingly cheap for such excellent quality food. Highly recommended!
Kaminaki Greek Taverna – Stockton-On-TeesExcellent venue with great food and spot on service. Although it's bit out of the way the venue and atmosphere made the drive worthwhile. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Headlam Hall Hotel – DarlingtonKrimo's is the longest established restaurant in Hartlepool since opening in 1985. The food is a mix of Mediterranean and North African cuisine. We have been going for years and never, ever been disappointed.
Krimo’s Restaurant – HartlepoolPortofino is a Bistro-Pizzeria on the Historic Quay. The food is simple but good and the prices very competitive. Happy hour is very good value for money
Portofino – HartlepoolBest Indian food you will get! I have been to a few but this food will take some beating.
Dilshad Tandoori Restaurant – HartlepoolGo here all the time and every time the food and service is always excellent.
Red Lion The – HartlepoolA friendly pub with a nice atmosphere. Food was fresh and tasty.
The Blue Bells – BillinghamWe have eaten here on two separate occasions, booking is definiately recommended as it is a very popular local venue. On both occasions the food was to a very high standard and we thorough enjoyed ourselves. Try the Lamb Henry it is superb.
Fighting Cocks The – DarlingtonFantastic, food is fantastic, everything 5 stars
Hamilton Russell Arms – Stockton-On-TeesAmazing place! the staff are with you before you reach the door. Wonderful ambience and fantastic, fresh healthy food served by people who seem to care. Great menu structure with sharing platters of hors d oeuvres and flexible pricing structure for main courses. Wish she was on our doorstep! p.s must try the pudds
Cafe Lilli – Stockton-On-TeesThe jug has turned into a quieter atmosphere, with a New Orleans tint menu. A new cuisine for my wife and I, but thoroughly enjoyable none the less. Certainly recommended in the city itself if you are looking for a good meal!!
The Big Jug – DurhamJust simply the best place to eat in Stockton. Menu is fab, meals are good in size and they do REAL chips.
Hamilton Russell Arms – Stockton-On-TeesUnlike any other boring English/ Italian/Indian or whatever style restaurant. Ochis offers something different and the cocktails must be the best. Theme Nights are great with a limbo competition!!!!!!!!!!
Ochis Caribbean Restaurant – DarlingtonFun restaurant for parties, the staff are very accomodating and friendly.
Tia’s – DurhamWent for happy hour. Although busy we were served very quickly. The food was very nice and it seemed a friendly place.
Tia’s – DurhamVery clean and bright establishment. Decor looked more like a fast food joint to me, but nice food, good service and clean environment.
Tia’s – DurhamThe restaurant is very nice and clean, the service is excellent and food was really tasty. Portions are just right. Wine is expensive and restaurant should be more spacious.
