Review of Bistro 21

Uncommonly outstanding bistro in Durham 
I have no idea where I heard about this restaurant, but as a family we have dined here many times, usually for occasions since the place feels genuinely special. It is housed in a 15th Century converted farmhouse, and the main dining room is dark and intimate, beneath vauted ceilings. The menu is very seasonal so I can't comment on the current array of food available, but judging from the fact that this place serves the best chedder cheese souffles and confit of duck I have ever eaten (beating anywhere in London hands down) I would expect all dishes to be perfect. The puddings on offer are unctious, including rich sticky toffee puddings and one of the best creme brulees around. The quality of the food and the hugely friendly staff make this a gem in an area not exactly renowned for its range of top-end restaurants.
