Best Healthy Restaurants in Houghton-Le-Spring

Another great luck at Gino’s. We also stayed at the hotel. The service from all staff was first class. Thank you and see you all again soon.

This was our first time for lunch but it didn’t disappoint. Excellent food, plenty of different dishes to choose from, not your traditional Sunday lunch which was refreshing. The staff are wonderful so good with my 90 year old mum so much so she asked for us to book afternoon tea for her birthday. The shop is a delight, difficult to resist. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Tucked away close to Newcastle's thousand-year-old castle, the French Quarter is a gem that provides a memorable dining experience. It offers a harmonious blend of exceptional food, warm service, and an inviting ambience. The menu is thoughtfully curated, with French-inspired dishes that highlight a perfect marriage of flavours and freshness. On my visit, I began with an exquisite Rillettes de Porc with some off-menu toasted bread. I followed this with an indulgent Bœuf Bourguignon accompanied by a tangy Gratin Dauphinois and fresh Haricot Vert. The staff were an absolute delight—attentive, friendly, and passionate about their work. They were happy to make recommendations, explaining food combinations with detail and enthusiasm. Every interaction felt personal, adding an extra layer of warmth to my visit. The restaurant offered subtle touches of a French bistro, a cosy yet sophisticated charm. It's perfect for both intimate dinners and lively group get-togethers. It's not budget dining, but the quality of the food, impeccable service, and overall experience justify the cost. Portions are generous, and each dish feels crafted with care. Whether you're a fan of French cuisine or just looking for a memorable culinary experience, the French Quarter delivers on all fronts. I will certainly return.

This was one of the best dinning experience I've ever had absolutely brilliant 😄

Outstanding as always. Great service, incredible food and beautiful ambience
