The Northeast Restaurants

Make sure to sample fine local meats and produce. Look for restaurants that serve game from the Kielder Forest, local lamb from the hillsides, salmon and trout from the rivers, and shellfish, crab, and oysters from the coast. Outside the cities, the region lags somewhat behind other parts of England in terms of good places to eat, although there are special spots to be found. Aside from the ubiquitous chains, the best bets are often small country pubs that serve the traditional, hearty fare associated with the region. Don't wait until 9 pm to have dinner, though, or you may have a hard time finding a place that’s still serving.

    For a fresh seafood lunch, nothing beats this no-frills trailer just south of Bamburgh. Freshly caught langoustines, lobster, scallops, monkfish, king prawns, crab, and squid are grilled on-site and served with fries or bread and garlic butter. For a quick and easy snack, choose between the Fishy Fries, slathered in a delicious smoked haddock and cheese sauce, and the Scallop and Bacon Roll.

    This upmarket yet great value Indian restaurant has been a Newcastle favorite for the best part of four decades, and it's easy to see why. Head chef Kulmeet Arora, better known as Bob, serves up freshly prepared Punjabi cuisine using the finest ground herbs and spices. Meat eaters will savor delicious dishes like garlic chili king prawns, medium-spicy murgh makhani (butter chicken), and delicious machi Kashmiri (monkfish and cashew curry), while vegetarians will enjoy the selection of channa (chickpea), daal (lentil) and paneer (cheese) based dishes.

  • 3. The Treehouse

    $

    The treetop location may sound gimmicky, but the effect at this extraordinary restaurant is quite magical and unexpectedly romantic, especially when the place is lit up at night. Here, an enormous complex of buildings spreads out over more than 550 square meters, with a roaring log fire at its center and furniture made from fallen branches; the kitchen serves excellent, decent-value modern British fare. You might find Craster kipper pate on toasted ciabatta on the menu, or North Shields mussels with pale ale and garlic cream. There's also the odd international influence, like the tofu katsu curry with Asian salad. The Potting Shed bar, part of the treehouse complex, is a great option for pre-dinner drinks.
