Located south of Newcastle upon Tyne, Durham is an ancient city with myriad historical sites and conserved buildings, over 600 of which are listed. Both Durham Cathedral and the Norman-era Durham Castle are a UNESCO world heritage site, the 13th-century Crook Hall is the ideal place for wandering round blooming gardens and getting lost in the maze, and Durham University, one of the oldest in the country, hosts botanical gardens and museums exhibiting global artefacts.

But it is the food, and the range of it, that draws us to this magical city. One can dine in country estates and five-star hotels, late-night bars and fine-dining establishments, casual cafes and intimate pubs, and sample myriad international flavours. While there is no lack of chain eateries (no hate, they’re great in a pinch), why not try some of the many independent and local restaurants in Durham, from Turkish to Italian, Indian to Thai, and classic British. Whether you are looking for somewhere to eat for a romantic date night, a big birthday bash, a family lunch, or a quick in-between-meetings bite, Durham has you covered. And don’t forget, you can make your search for your perfect place to eat in Durham easier by using our toggles on the left. Happy (hungry) hunting!
