After a long day shopping me and my mother decided to dine at the Inshanghai Buffet. It was quite a trek to get down to the restaurant which is located next to the river, but when we arrived we were greated by a polite waiter. The restaurant was quite busy but the young man showed us to our seats straight away and took our beverage orders, telling us to help ourselves.
The food is what you would expect from a typical Chinese restaurant. Being a buffet you expect the food to become cold after a while of being out, this is a downside to the majority of buffets. Despite the temperature of the food, it was still of good quality. The egg foo yung is a personal favourite. Read the rest of this entry »

A great place for lunch is the Fat Buddha in the new Millennium Square area. It is what is now commonly known as Asian fusion restaurant featuring dishes from Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Korea and China. The décor is very well done, particularly the glass walkway and booths upstairs.
The lunch menu is a selection of popular dishes from the much more extensive evening menu but still offers loads of choice. My party consisted of 2 adults and 3 children aged 14, 5 and 10 months. Read the rest of this entry »

I love La Spaghettata!
It’s great if you want a cheap and cheerful meal that tastes nice! The vegetarian lasagna is lovely and the garlic bread with tomato is fab! There’s a help yourself salad bar too. (my favourite part of the meal is getting my bowl of salad with the lovely dressing!)
If you are going for something to eat before a good night out, then La Spaghettata is the place to go, provided you go early, the queue can get ridiculous. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re looking for a cheap (arguably microwaved), pseudo-Italian eatery, La Spaghettata is for you. Obviously subjective, but for me ‘eating out’ should be a chilled-out, mellow and personal experience. At La Spaghettata, you are treated to an extremely limited menu of anglo-italian food (confusingly enough, food cooked by Italians to cater for the common British perception of what Italian food is supposed to taste like), a MILE long queue - yes it is popular, but cheap stodge so what do you expect.

I was looking for a quick bite to eat and decided to try Pizza Express in Durham, a rather large chain of restaurants, up and down the country, boasting over 300 across the UK. It was lunch time and it was quite busy with say 10 tables filled.
When me and my partner first entered the restaurant there was no-one to greet us, and we got the feeling that everyone was looking at us, this was a shame as it does make you feel quite uncomfterable. A chirpy young lady soon showed us to our seats, a stupidly small table which was no bigger than 3 foot wide. Read the rest of this entry »

Eat Out In Durham is a website all about giving you the view point of people that actually go to restaurants and out for meals in Durham City. Rather than a food critic who is there to pick fault with everything. In the coming weeks there will be more and more reviews of restaurants published and we would love to get some writers who eat out regularly to start posting. Read the rest of this entry »
