Restaurants near Angel of the North

We took our two children for an early evening dinner and felt comfortable and welcome. Food was outstanding, the Sunday lunch was delicious, meat as so tender and lots of it. Lovely atmosphere.

This was an excellent lunch. The only difficulty was parking which is nothing to do with Cote

21 is a real gem of a restaurant. The food is fabulous and there's a lovely atmosphere. Although it was busy, the noise from other diners was not intrusive and there were plenty of staff to ensure you were well looked after. On that note, the staff are an absolute credit to the restaurant; friendly, chatty and smiley, whilst still being professional. They were attentive, without being intrusive, which is a real skill to master. Every member of staff from front of house reception, waiting staff, sommelier and bar staff, helped to make our visit a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Not sure why I haven't been here before, perhaps I thought it might be a little too formal but that's my mistake as it's not in the slightest bit stuffy, quite the opposite. I may have lost out on a wonderful place and some fantastic food over the years because of a misconception, but I plan on rectifying that error by going back as often as I can from now on.

Lovely lunch with friends today. Service was excellent with someone who clearly enjoyed his job and explained the menu for us. Food was good and nobody minded us lounging over coffee/tea. Highly recommend and dog friendly too!

Fantastic meal, fantastic customer service, really lovely atmosphere, will definitely be going back.
