El Greco
60 Hope Street, Crook, Durham, DL15 9HU
Since El Greco literally translates as 'The Greek', this is a piece of information that will easily help you to decide what the menu is going to be about but wait here's some more trivia for the arty types. It's also the name of the renowned painter from the Renaissance era whose paintings are believed to contain some of the best known depictions of the sky in Western art. At a more immediate level, equally exemplary work is displayed by the kitchen as evident in starters of sautéed mushrooms in cream sauce on toasted bread and prawn saganaki. Pay heed to delicious pasta and risotto courses like tagliatelle alle langoustine and alla cacciatore, while those with meaty fixations could try the pork escalope in white wine and fillet steak with cream and pepper sauce.Since El Greco literally translates as 'The Greek', this is a piece of information that will easily help you to decide what the menu is going to be about but wait here's some more trivia for the arty types.

Overall El Greco emphasises on comfort food and even the desserts follow suit with choices like tiramisu and freshly made cheesecake of the day with a variety of sauces.

REVIEWS OF El Greco
John (1 August 2009)
We had lunch there on Saturday, four adults plus one small child. Restaurant is very well done out - light, airy and atmospheric. Owner-chef is friendly and helpful. We had 'meze' followed by 'moussaka', all excellent. Ouzo is very good and the wine list is short but good. This place deserves support.
