About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Kid-friendly
Romantic

Durham is rich with history and we wanted to make sure we captured that in our restaurant. The restaurant features illustrations by the amazingly talented Lizzie Mary-Cullen who has paid homage to the beautiful cathedral by painting onto a glass frame - a modern interpretation of the cathedral's stained glass wrapped around the staircase. LED rods illuminating the roof, wooden wall paneling, and grand chandeliers (both old and modern) make sure the building achieves the trickiest of tricky tasks of being both historical and cutting edge.

A good meal. Servers were pleasant and efficient. We were sat near the kitchen area so the ambience took a bit of a knock, but it wasn’t to too much of a hardship. Recommended.

DON'T GO THERE!! I had to give a minimum of 1 star in order to leave a review, but we actually walked out without eating due to a disgustingly rude woman on the front reception who was aggressive, sarcastic, vicious and a rude bully who has a horrendous manner of treating and speaking to customers. Before that experience we had gone there for a long time! It's a shame how 1 bad employee can ruin everything.

Had a great family meal with attendees ranging from pre teens through to 50s and we had a great time. The wine was a little light, but, otherwise it was a super mix of good food and location.

Really easy to book on line, very efficient staff and good food that was value for money. Our only criticism was that we were sitting near the door which didn’t seem to shut properly and that we were cold.

Our meal was terrible in Durham, they could learn a lot from other Zizzi’s we have visited. The skinny pizza’s were hard and tasteless and the pasta dish which was supposed to be in a cream sauce was swimming in water. Would not visit again.

It was the staff who made the evening for us, attentive and fun without being over the top. Food was great, sitting downstairs much better than upstairs.

I think the food was overpriced for what it is was. I waited a very long time for my main course after my starter. Almost and hour. I was not impressed however the waitress was very nice
