Welcome
The North East Restaurant Awards 2009, in association with the Gourmet Society, was the biggest the region has ever seen. This year's high profile event was hosted at the Sage on Tuesday 10th February 2009, with winners being chosen by the public and the overall Restaurant of the Year decided by a panel of industry experts and celebrity judges.
