As four stand-out restaurants spanning the region enjoy the spotlight this Wednesday following news of their Michelin star success, three other city favourites have reason of their own to celebrate.
The annual Michelin Guide announcement brought good news for Hjem in Northumberland, The House of Tides in Newcastle and The Raby Hunt near Darlington which all have retained their prestigious stars - two in the case of the latter - while the region has now added an extra one.
Despite being open just nine months, Pine in Northumberland now has been awarded a Michelin star too, it was announced on Wednesday, while there is further good food news for the local food scene.
