McCoys at The Cleveland Tontine Description
When the McCoy brothers bought the Tontine in 1976 it was in a terrible tumbledown state, but despite that disadvantage they were soon awarded "Restaurant of the Year" courtesy of Egon Ronay, a huge accolade for a Northern restaurant in those days!
Since then it has gone from strength to strength, winning almost every award in the book, but, most importantly, sending generations of happy diners home, either from its more informal bistro and snug, or from the main restaurant.
They describe the restaurant as 'Slightly faded elegance is the thought here - bit like a bordello, in fact. Chandeliered, gilded and fenestrated with wooden louvres the room twinkles at night and is heated by candle.'
Dishes in the restaurant could include chicken liver terrine with tomato chutney and brioche bread or king scallops with caviar, beurre blanc and sweet onion purée to begin with. Followed by marinated corn fed chicken with buttered spinach, white bean and ham puree and mushroom jus or fillet steak with wild mushroom sauce.
Leave room though for puddings - chocolate marquise, sticky toffee pudding, crème brûlée or cheese.

Your Reviews of McCoys at The Cleveland Tontine
Martin & Carolyn Herring (11 June 2009)
We have spent many a night eating at the Tontine, something we look forward to each time we book. The staff are always friendly and happy to assist. The atmosphere is relaxed and the surroundings are cosy. The menu is extensive, but we tend to stick with our favourites as they never fail to deliver every time. The seafood pancake is piping hot and full of flavour, the steaks are cooked to perfection. We must admit we sometimes struggle to find room for the desserts and you have just got to as they are 'to die for' - a culinary delight. The food is consistently magnificent and that is why it is our No. 1 restaurant. We have tried lots of other restaurants in the area but they just fail to come up to The Cleveland Tontine's very high standards of service and quality cuisine. We look forward to our next visit, very soon.

It's taken over 30 years for us to get there, we were students at Teeside Poly 76-79 but far too expensive for a student, but worth the wait. We ate at the bistro today - seven of us with different tastes and appetites - and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Very relaxed atmosphere and informal service, which is a good thing in my books - we left relaxed, comfortable and very well fed. All food was beautifully presented and tasted divine and as we are very far from being students now - good value for money.
