The first Sunderland Restaurant Week of 2025 is set to take place across the city on March 15-23.
Special £10, £15 and £20 deals will be available at old favourites and new venues, with organiser Sunderland BID – which this time round is partnering with Sunderland City Council – encouraging people to use the week to turn eating out into an experience.
As part of the event, people are being encouraged to download the Sunderland City app, which is full of ideas for other activities to do before or after you’ve eaten.
Favourites such as Angelo’s, Asiana, My Delhi and Spent Grain are already on board for the event – as are Rumour Has It, The Engine Room, The Botanist, and ENFES.
Other city centre venues including Koji, NOBODY and Mexico 70 have also signed up to take part, as have Wendy’s Place and Esquires.
Sunderland’s largest food and drink hubs are supporting Restaurant Week too – with STACK Seaburn’s Acropolis and Soju and Goji serving up a range of offers. Food outlets at Sheepfold Stables have also got behind the week – including Vito’s Osteria, Scream for Pizza, and Deep North.
Food businesses on the north side of the river have signed up in force too, including House of Zen, Marina Vista, Yard Nine, These Things Happen, Goa, The Mad Hatter, Tarantino’s, and Grand Hotel.
To take advantage of the offers, visit sunderlandbid.co.uk/restaurant-week and download the discount vouchers.
Sharon Appleby, chief executive of Sunderland BID, said: “Sunderland has seen huge growth in the number of places we now have to eat and drink. That, coupled with the sheer variety of cuisines on offer, is undoubtedly why Sunderland Restaurant Week is so popular. This is a real opportunity for people to use the week to make an occasion of dining out at a price that won’t break the bank.”
Cllr Beth Jones, portfolio holder for communities, culture and tourism at Sunderland City Council, added: “Sunderland is fortunate to have a fantastic selection of restaurants. With even more exciting new venues opening across the city, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Restaurant Week is a brilliant opportunity to explore new dining spots, grab a great deal, and show support for our incredible local food and drink businesses.”
