Lovely restaurant with limited menu which is great as it means everything is uber fresh and made with care!We’ve eaten here at least 10 times and every time it’s been top notch!

We had spotted the restaurant last year on a day trip and having seen the menus and the reviews, we booked well in advance for a long weekend stay and birthday dinner. The staff were friendly, helpful and well informed, the wine list was very good and the short menu offered enough choices. The food was truly excellent - a combination of classic European and modern takes on it - using the best of British seasonal and local produce. A dinner we will be still be talking about in another 10 years. The restaurant is on Bridge Street which has great speciality shops and other places to eat and drink - a real lovely little enclave - with the historic artchitecture on a warm sunny weekend in September, it feels more like the Dordogne than the Borders!

We have been fortunate to eat at Audela on a number of recent visits to Berwick. Having eaten at many restaurants in this country and abroad I think that Audela is exceptional. Craig and Sarah know what they are doing - small menu, sensible number of covers and food so well executed that it puts other so called fine dining establishments to shame. How refreshing in the present obsession with tasting menus to find starters (scallops and wood pigeon) and main courses (fillet of beef and beetroot tarts tatin) so beautifully prepared with such an excellent balance of flavours. Absolutely stunning meal thank you.

The Good Food Guide is always my first resource to consult when I’m looking for good eats in an area that I don’t know well. It’s what led us to Audela on our last trip to this part of coastal Northumberland. And it was the first place we booked for this latest trip. We came on a Sunday, when they offer a different menu from other days of the week – one majoring on traditional roasts. But, before we get to the roasts, there’s starters to consider. There’s only three on this fixed price menu. So, a twice baked leek and local cheese soufflé. Light and tasty. The other starter was an exceptionally well made Parmesan flavoured risotto. You’d be hard pushed to find one as good as this in most Italian restaurants. And it comes topped with long braised venison haunch. Either of these elements would be lovely in their own right but together, they were one of the best things I’ve put in my mouth this year. For mains, we both ordered the roast beef. There was chicken and pork also on offer, as well as a couple of dishes to suit those who are not omnivores. It’s a generous serving of meat and comes with spuds, roast and mashed, and an excellent crispy Yorkshire pudding. But it was the variety of vegetable accompaniments that set this apart from most Sunday roasts. There’s carrots, parsnips, turnip, mashed swede, roast red onion, red cabbage and white cabbage. All of them perfectly cooked and, in itself, that takes some skill in the kitchen. And let’s not forget the really good gravy and horseradish sauce. Pretty much the Sunday roast from which legends are made. Only one of us wanted dessert. Advertised as treacle tart, but it wasn’t. It was, however, a light as a feather treacle sponge, served warm and with a blob of ice cream on the side. Yes, I’d rather have had a traditional treacle tart but that’s a bit of a quibble. We finished with good espresso and house made chocolate. Service from the two front of house staff was first rate – friendly, engaging and entirely on the ball. They seemed to actually be enjoying their job – and that’s not always a given in restaurants these days.
Compliments to the chef. A smaller menu offered but everything cooked to perfection and great choices on offer. Look forward to my next visit. Friendly staff and great service.

Googled best restaurants in Berwick as only in the area for one night and picked Audela, we can certainly see why. The food, service and setting were wonderful. A small but perfectly thought out menu accompanied by an excellent wine list. The halibut was cooked to perfection and the treacle tart rounded the meal off. Very knowledgable and attentive staff makes this a gem of restaurant.

My wife and I eat at Audela perhaps 2 or 3 times a year and without exception it's always fantastic.Yes, it's probably the most expensive place to eat in Berwick, but not only is it a proper 'occasion' to eat there, the food is fabulously prepared, presented and served. The interior of the restaurant is also just lovely and it has a nice vibe - plus, it's dog friendly.Ingredients are fresh and locally sourced, while the drinks menu features a good range of wine, fizz, spirits and beer. The vegetables in particular are always great. The portion sizes are perfectly pitched such that three courses are just perfect without feeling you've over indulged.I'm vegetarian and while the menu is limited the choices are always delicious - the twice baked soufflé is fantastic plus it's always worth having a chat to see if Craig, the chef can rustle something else up for you.And should the treacle tart be on the desert menu, just make sure you leave some space for it. It's the best thing ever. In fact start with the treacle tart and work backwards :-)Finally, you've got The Barrels and The Curfew just a few metres away should you fancy a good pint plus a walk around the walls to burn it all off.Vegetarian options: There are always a couple of vegetarian options on the menu though Vegan is limited. However, it's always worth chatting to the staff to explain your requirements and they will be happy to make something to order is they can.

We joined our friends for the last leg of their Northumbria Coastal Path walk ending in Berwick upon Tweed. We agreed we needed to celebrate at a good restaurant and a little joint research came up with Audela. We were not disappointed! A tight well chosen menu, good supporting wines along with attentive and jolly service resulted in a meal not to forget. The pork belly starter followed by the Halibut main, a good cheese selection and the banoffee dessert were simply excellent and a stand out meal for me (but I also sampled the pea & mint risotto starter & the beef main which were also delicious). Thank you Audela for setting us up for a great night - job more than well done (& sorry we were rather late leaving!) ???

The best meal i have had in 20 years. Lucky enough to have eaten in some of the top restaurants in the uk and this was as good or better than them all. Three of us had nearly the whole set menu which consisted of three chooses starter main and desert. All were perfect english local sourced food and cooking at its best.. The restaurant has been going for 11 years and has a regular clientele , so book to avoid being disappointed.
