R unning from Monday 7 to Sunday May 13, Restaurant Week celebrates Middlesbrough’s diverse restaurant scene, where flavours from around the world are available right on our doorstop. With a variety of special menus, limited edition dishes and fantastic prices, Restaurant Week is the perfect opportunity to sample what the town has to offer. Amongst the many choices available, diners can enjoy finest ‘Frenglish’ at Bistrot Pierre or great Greek at Great; parmos at Al Forno and The Oven or sustainable seafood at Fellinis. Sixteen restaurants are taking part in this year’s event, including newcomers Turtle Bay as well as firm favourites like The Curing House and Baker Street Kitchen. For the first time since it began, this year’s event will also include a non-food offer from Lane 7 to complete your night – a specially priced drink and WATERSIDE BRASSERIE BISTROT PIERRE bowling package that’s perfect for pre- or post-meal fun. Middlesbrough’s restaurant scene has gone from strength to strength over the past few years, with the wealth of choices and quality of offers firmly positioning it as the dining destination of the Tees Valley. Restaurant Week has been created to promote Middlesbrough’s restaurant scene and celebrate local talent in the hospitality industry, helping restaurants to attract new custom and giving foodies the opportunity to sample the best of what’s on offer for a fraction of the regular price! Though global flavours are represented, many of the restaurants taking part in this year’s Restaurant Week support local food growers and producers and are listed on the Growing Middlesbrough directory. Diners will be able to enjoy their meal with the knowledge that they are supporting the local food economy in more ways than one.
