Best Bistros in Maltby

Party of 2, we booked very late and were a few minutes late owing to a typically tardy train. On arrival, service was prompt and we were shown to our table in what was a busy (though by no means very loud) restaurant. I had the steak baguette with frites and my sister went for a pasta dish that was surprisngly plentiful given it was from the light mains menu which was apparently excellent. I asked my steak to be done to medium well done and I may as well have asked for perfection because that was what was delivered. I've been a few times now and never had a bad experience, even during peak demand. The setting is great, the food is invariably great, the staff are lovely, and you are not deafened by music. Is it my favourite restaurant in Newcastle? Yes it is.

Another enjoyable visit to the Fat Badger . The food was exemplary as always and the staff are a credit to the organisation . We also booked into the hotel for a 1 night stay as we were going to the theatre and my wife and I really enjoy the cleanliness and comfort . We are already planning our next visit to the Hotel and Fat Badger .

From the initial booking the service was great. Lovely friendly staff. The food was delicious and lots of it ! Would definitely recommend a Sunday lunch here

Bistro Italiano is one of the best places to eat in Durham City. Open on a Sunday, lots of choices in the menu, plenty of wine choices and lovely, friendly staff

We went for lunch on Saturday myself & a friend. They had a wedding happening at the same time, so it was quite noisy, but that was fine by us, you would expect that. The young lady who served us was brilliant. She was under a lot of pressure what with wedding guests & diners, but she coped beautifully. A lovely setting, lovely food, and we were well taken care of by our waitress .
