Square Meal Review of Bistro 21 Durham ?

This lovely converted farmhouse is one of Terry Laybourne’s mini group of restaurants in the North East, which also includes Jesmond Dene in Newcastle. It boasts a vaulted cellar bar & a rustic, beamed dining room set round an enclosed courtyard. The kitchen delivers a wide range of flavours, from crispy duck spring rolls with plum sauce to fillet of sea bream with cherry tomato salad & tempura soft shell crab, with the specials board carrying a raft of extras (French onion soup, or roast suckling pig with braised cabbage & apple sauce, say). Desserts reflect seasonal changes, with warming winter sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce proving a particular winner. Good value set lunch, too. ‘In an area without a huge choice of restaurants it is an oasis of quality cooking,’ says one fan.

    Myself , my Wife, and two friends dined at bistro21 on thursday the 19th of March, and I can honestly say that it was a pleasuree to be there. The service was excellent, and the food was spectacular. I had never tried scallops so I was a bit unsure about them, but I really enjoyed them. My fillet steak was cooked to perfection, as was my Wife's and our friends, ant the desert was to die for. Well done all at bistro21, we shall definately be back again.
