A Newcastle classic, this sleek, modern bistro is a local favorite for romantic dinners as the warm wood, leather banquettes, and crisp white table linens lend a polished look. The menu focuses on contemporary, flavor-packed versions of classic British food, such as terrine of Northumbrian venison with celeriac and apple salad or fillet of smoked haddock with wholegrain mustard sauce. Save space for dessert, including year-round Christmas pudding.

This lavish 14th-century castle with turrets and battlements offers an elegant fine-dining experience. Choose from an excellent five-course prix-fixe menu of traditional English dishes with hints of Asian influence—perhaps the mutton served with miso broth and lobster wonton, or the halibut with samphire and razor clams. There's also a lighter (and cheaper) snack menu, and they do a lavish afternoon tea. The baronial dining room is romantic, with little candlelit alcoves draped in rich fabric. If you're really taken with the place, rooms start at around £55 per night. Langley Castle is 6 miles west of Hexham.

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—North Shields mussels with pale ale and garlic cream, for instance, or slow-braised potted rabbit with Durham butter. There's also the odd international influence, such as the Wood Shed burger with smoked bacon in a toasted pretzel bun. The Potting Shed bar, part of the treehouse complex, is a great option for predinner drinks.

This friendly, simply decorated Indian restaurant specializes in dishes from the Kerala region, with an outstanding vegetarian selection, as well as meaty dishes like jagajili (lightly battered and fried chicken cubes with spices and onions) and vadakara roast beef with ginger and garlic. A shared dosa (light-as-a-feather flatbreads stuffed with vegetables or curried potatoes) is the ideal way to mop up the last of those heavenly sauces.

Excellent seafood and indulgent desserts are the specialties at this popular bistro, but there are steaks and a few veggie options on the menu as well. Order the fishcakes with buttered spinach or the jumbo shrimp grilled Tandoori style (with a hint of Indian spice), and save room for the Knickerbocker Glory, an old-fashioned concoction of ice cream, sponge cake, fruit, and chocolate, served in a tall glass. The restaurant is a 20-minute walk north of the city center.

The snug bar and restaurant of this remote, peaceful, 17th-century pub make an excellent place to dine. Fine local meat goes into its famous savory pies; take your pick from wild boar and duckling pie or maybe a plate of Whitby scampi with chips. The unfussy menu also features such staples as fish-and-chips or lasagna with garlic bread. Two cottages are available for rent. The inn is on the north side of Haltwhistle on B6318.

Aside from the labored pun-of-a-name, this fine restaurant, in the upscale suburb of Jesmond, hits all the right notes, with chef Dave Coulson serving up delicious, flavor-packed, and beautifully presented dishes. The interior is colorful and airy, and the waitstaff is friendly and attentive, though a little over-eager; you might struggle to catch your breath between servings of bread, drinks, endless amuse-bouches, and regular courses. Try the sumptuously spicy tandoori monkfish, served with chickpeas, yogurt, and coriander; it comes with a bonus monkfish skewer on the side.

Located near Corbridge Roman Town and the best deli for miles around, this place is filled with all manner of local produce, as well as specialty foods from small-time artisans across Europe. Try the delicious but alarmingly colored Delfts Blauw cheese from Holland; its almost fluorescent blue hue is entirely natural. It also serves delicious housemade soups and sandwiches.

This colorful and inviting restaurant, where diners are "shaded" indoors by a faux cherry blossom tree, mainly serves Thai food, but the menu is also scattered with Japanese, Chinese, and Indonesian dishes. A rather dizzying trip around Asia can take you from Thai green curry to sizzling Mongolian lamb to Japanese teriyaki beef, as well as some less familiar dishes like cod fillet wrapped in banana leaves and served with chili and lime. This place is a local favorite, so make reservations if you're coming on a weekend.

The only branch of this super-cool mini-chain outside London, Rasa serves surprisingly authentic, exceptionally delicious Indian cuisine. The menu is short, focusing entirely on specialties from India's Kerala region; meat is used sparingly, but there are plenty of fish and vegetarian options. Try the kappayum meenum vevichathu, which mixes king fish and tamarind in a spicy, fragrant sauce, or the chemmeen masala, prawns prepared with a tangy tomato and chili reduction. A shared dosa is the ideal way to mop up the last of those heavenly sauces—they're light-as-a-feather flatbreads, stuffed with vegetables or curried potatoes.

At this convivial restaurant, cheerful raspberry walls and unfussy walnut furnishings create a nicely laid-back vibe that complements the excellent food. The menu focuses on ultra-traditional flavors made with organic, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. Some dishes are likely to baffle anyone from outside the region; you might find pan haggarty (a classic Northumberland specialty made with cheese, onions, and potatoes), or clapshot (a Scottish favorite made with swede, turnips, potatoes, and beef dripping) alongside mains of cottage (minced beef) pie, cod with spicy sausage, or rib-eye steak with fat chips. There's not much choice for non-carnivores, but let them know in advance and the chef can prepare an extra vegetarian option.
