Bistro 21, Aykley Heads House, Durham

A rustic Gallic farmhouse charm is apparent in this bistro style restaurant on the outskirts of Durham. Pine floors and furnishings and white washed walls complete the look but the food and drink on offer is far more urbane. After sampling a Bellini from the cocktail menu you could kick off your meal with crab and whisky soup with butter-poached langoustine. Braised Moroccan lamb shoulder with chermoula, fruit and nut couscous and fennel and blood orange salad could follow after. It’s a return to home comforts for desserts with traditional teatime treats such as steamed apple and cinnamon sponge with rum-soaked raisins and custard on offer. There is also a separate vegetarian menu and many wines are available by the glass and carafe.
