Akarsu Turkish Restaurant & Grill

Excellent food!
Great selection of food, stylish interior, and (on the whole) very friendly staff.
The waiter who initially took our order did, kinda, throw/slam the drinks on to the table, but we presumed he was just having a bad time due to the pack of drunken, cackling middle-aged women he had the unfortunate pleasure of serving.

What a fab time we have had! From

Cafédral Durham

1 First floor, Owengate, Durham

I visited this cafè for the first time, yesterday 25.2.2026. It wasn’t pre-planned or one that I’d reviewed online first but from the outside, it looked too good to walk by.
It had a nice little seating area by the front street, which may be nice if the streets weren’t so busy with passers-by.
After 1.5 flights of stairs, I found the main cafè. The decor throughout the building seemed quite bohemian to me. Various green leafed plants, mirrors (helping to create an impression of space) and also a variety of ceiling lights.

I loved it. I’d probably picked the busiest time, there was no music being played, just the ambient sounds of people talking at their tables.

The place was cosy to a point. I didn’t feel totally relaxed tbh, maybe that’s due to being alone and not in company maybe.

Very much stop-gap place and not the vibe for relaxing with your friends most of the afternoon.

Staff were attentive and seemed organised. So I ordered some food. Nothing major, just a fruit scone with jam & clotted cream (had to be done) and followed with a mixed fruit smoothie.

Everything was delicious but I had a limited time in Durham so it was time to go.

Definitely worth a visit again. Maybe go earlier and try a breakfast possibly.

Excellent choice of dishes.
Food was well prepared and hot, and VERY tasty.
Reasonable value with a main course averaging around the £15 mark. (November 2025)

This was my second visit.
The first was for Sunday lunch.

I would go again, and my wife (very discerning) echoes that sentiment. High praise indeed!

The only way to describe Ravello's food is perfect! We went a few weeks ago, the food, the service and the atmosphere was fantastic. There was 7 of us and we many of the starters, the few that stood out were the mussels, the black pudding stack and the calamari rings. All of the starters were excellent! The mains were once again outstanding the steaks were cooked to perfection. The pasta's were delicious especially the carbonara! The prawns that were on the surf and turf were incredible. The desserts were delicious as well. We all had a great evening and would definitely recommend a visit!

La Spada Ristorante

We had a lovely family celebration here this week. There was a wide selection of dishes on the menu and the 7 of us all had different ones, but they were all delicious.Although they were freshly made, the dishes arrived quickly - brought by friendly and helpful staff.
There was also a good choice of desserts- again they were real treats.
The portions were a good size for our meals and the total cost was very reasonable.
The restaurant was comfortable and spacious and we will definitely visit it again next time we, are in the area.
Thank you La Spada for a wonderful evening.

We went here for my husbands 40th Birthday. From the start the service was impeccable and the staff were very good with our dog Ozzy getting him water and checking in etc. Its brilliant such a lovely restaurant accomodates dogs in their own little area of the resturant. The food was absolutely stunning. We had scallops and lamb belly to start and both had lamp rump for main and chocolate fondant for dessert. Best food weve had in longer than we can remember. Im 6 months pregnant and needed all meat well done with no pink which wasnt a problem and the chef/staff even hand picked desserts for me which were suitable and let me choose from the lunch menu to accommodate my needs with my pregnancy. 100% recommend this place to anyone it was a faultless evening.

When next in Durham will defo go back. My husband would probably mark pricing at 4/5, but that's because he's a Yorkshireman.

Caroline and team did such an amazing job making our baby shower so special, from fantastic food, great service and such a cute venue, allowing us to treat it like home! We had several guests with allergies/dietary requirements and they were very accommodating providing them with alternatives. Besides the baby shower we love coming regularly with a great variety of food for all dietary preferences, and they're dog friendly too!

Great choice of beers and ciders, many of which you'll struggle to find anywhere else in this area. Nice stop-off if your using the Rail station. This is a proper pub without the TV & slot machines, just good beer and good talk. Friendly, and knowledgeable host. No food as such but they do a nice line in Scotch eggs, keeping it simple, all about the beer and the company. Selfie-queens stay away, it's not for you.
