South Tyneside is home to many great restaurants but we have also seen many leave the borough.
Everyone has their favourite “all-time restaurant” so we asked readers via the Shields Gazette Facebook page for their choice.
A special shout out to The Scarlet Coat, D'Ambrosie's, Casa Rosa, Friar Tucks, and The Joy King - all restaurants were mentioned but we don’t have pictures of them.
Take a look at the best South Tyneside restaurants of all time, according to Shields Gazette readers.
