Loire Valley native Greg Bureau’s “reliable, welcoming and brilliant value” neighbourhood staple, where the “authentic” bistro-style cooking means it “really is like being in France”. As per France, you’re “not expected to rush a meal” and a recent refurb’ has added more joy in the form of a flashy glass balcony.

“More restaurant than bistro but certainly very, very French” (think escargots and “delicious, old-school” sauces) – Greg Bureau's stalwart re-emerged in summer 2021 after a total refit adding more seating, an airier contemporary look and – best of all – a two-storey roof terrace.

A “perfect, archetypally French restaurant, with all the classical touches, from the staff to the ambiance” – Greg Bureau’s bistro is “as fun as it is authentic”. “After several visits, it’s still a surprise to find a place with such a French feel in the heart of a Northumbrian town!”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
