Harden's survey result
Summary
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.
Summary
With its “superb classic bistro dishes” – “probably the best French cuisine in the area” – Loire Valley-born Greg Bureau’s long-standing venue “feels like stepping into France”. It’s a “brilliant-value, ideal neighbourhood restaurant”, and a “recent makeover is a bonus”, adding a “fabulous glass balcony”.
Summary
“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.
Summary
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!”.
