I am pleased to tell you that they have 3 other restaurants in the region - Bistro 21 (Durham) and 2 Cafe 21s (Newcastle Quayside and Ponteland) The place where Brasserie 21 used to be is an italian restaurant, looks quite nice - excellent location. If you are interested in meeting Peter Reed, I have seen him on many occasions at Luicianos - the best lasagne in Sunderland.
