Fine dining restaurants Hjem, House of Tides and Raby Hunt have been named in a list of the very best in the UK.
The North East's Michelin star trailblazers have made the new edition of Harden’s Best UK Restaurants, the prestigious annual guide which is based upon thousands of diners' reviews.
And amongst the praise in the guide's top 100 list is the claim that a meal at Kenny Atkinson's Quayside establisment is worth a trip to Newcastle alone.
