La Tasca has collected the Restaurant of the Year title at the ninth annual City of Durham Retail Awards
The restaurant, based on Saddler Street in Durham, fought off 12 competitors to be named the best place to eat in the city.
La Tasca chief executive Simon Wilkinson said: “This is a fantastic accolade to have under our belt and it’s great to see the staff recognised and celebrated for all their hard work. We aim to provide the most authentic Spanish dining experience we can and (we have) further investment planned across a number of sites nationwide in the New Year.”
