Best Bistros in Sunderland

We really enjoyed our evening at The Courtyard, and the welcome, the food and the service were all excellent - and also very good value The attractive building is new (purpose built) and has some interesting quirky features; there is a good sized car park and it is also on a regular bus route to & from Morpeth . . . My own seat was slightly squashed in, but that did not detract from our enjoyment. I really appreciated being able to choose from a selection of small plates, rather than a daunting "main course" which would have been far too big for me to finish. All the food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious - sadly we had no space left for dessert . . . We also appreciated the choice of no-alcohol drinks, including a sparkling wine, We are already planning our next visit. Thank you so much to ALL the staff, both front of house and those in the kitchen!

A dining experience at Bouchon Bistrot is always top notch. The ambience/decor is lovely, stylish, cosy. The service is perfect and the food is always delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommend

Food was very good as was the service and ambience within the restaurant. Would recommend and we would return when next visiting in Newcastle. Shame there is no Cote in Glasgow city centre now.

Bistro Italiano is one of the best places to eat in Durham City. Open on a Sunday, lots of choices in the menu, plenty of wine choices and lovely, friendly staff

Was a great experience,we would definitely visit again
