Mivesi The Marketplace, Alnwick, Northumberland - 01665 606947
Relatively new to the Alnwick dining scene and located where Louis Steakhouse once was, Mivesi has quickly become a favourite. Beautifully presented, modern Indian food is what you'll find here along with a friendly and warm welcome from your host Amina. Her husband will be beavering away in the kitchen preparing some of the most flavourful, authentic food on offer in the County. We particularly enjoyed the modern take on the classic dishes and the home-made deserts, including two types of delicious rice pudding! Mivesi offers an English Cafe downstairs and an Indian restaurant upstairs, along with a takeaway service that's very highly recommended! You can even bring along your own alcohol with no corkage fee!

The Treehouse Restaurant is not your average place to eat, which comes at a price, but if you're looking for a dining experience with a difference then look no further. The restaurant is set within the world's largest Treehouse, one of the Alnwick Garden's many attractions. There is a large roaring fire in the centre of the room and many trees growing through the floors, which is certainly a talking point. Food served here is all "locally inspired" and always features fish, seafood and organic meats from Northumberland's fine land. Lunches are served seven days a week and there is an a la carte menu on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening. A Sunday lunch menu is also available with fixed prices for two and three course meals. You do not need to have paid entrance to the Garden in order to dine at the Treehouse, however booking is recommended at peak times. You can read a full in-depth review from our latest visit over on the Your Northumberland Guide Blog.

Somewhat of a gastronomic curiosity, at first glance Grannies appears to be a crowded shop almost overflowing with weird and wonderful boxes, jars and sweets. See past this though and you will find a Cafe that celebrates it's local area in the best possible way, by offering it's finest produce at a reasonable price. From sandwiches to Northumberland cheeses, Craster smoked salmon to local ice cream, it's all found here. Downstairs in the cellar there is a seating area to discover all that this wonderful little place has to offer.

Fast becoming Alnwick's best hidden treasure, The Strawberry Lounge is located down an alleyway off Narrowgate. Don't let this put you off though, some of the finest treasures are to be found off the beaten track, the entrance to the alley is usually marked with an oversized wooden bear. Also known as a smoothie bar, this Cafe has wonderfully friendly staff and is especially well known for it's simply delicious home-made scones and top quality coffee. Make hunting the Strawberry Lounge down one of your top priorities!

Set in the Marketplace, the Lunchbox does exactly what it says on the tin. If you're after a quick bite or a tasty freshly made sandwich without any particular frills this is the place to go.

The Plough Hotel, Bar & restaurant Bondgate Without, Alnwick, Northumberland - 01665 602 395

A self-titled Boutique Hotel, The Plough has become a popular place to have a drink and a bar meal. It does have a lovely fine dining restaurant, but for me it is at it's best as a pleasant place for a relaxed drink in it's stylish bar area, or just to sit outside with a bar meal and watch the world go by.

A hugely popular and lively pub venue in Alnwick. The Oddfellows Arms has become a great success because of it's characterful décor and friendly staff. Food is also served here, but you should definitely pop in for at least a drink while you're in Alnwick.

Not necessarily for the faint hearted, the Tanners Arms is a bit of a local Pub, but you will find a friendly welcome here. It is a small place, not much larger than a living room and operates around it's Jukebox, which is a rocker's haven. Visit their website.

Bright and modern, this is a good place to have a drink and a bite to eat. It can most easily be compared to a J D Wetherspoons for an idea of it's quality and decor, clean and simple.
