Joanne Akarsu, left, and Bethany Kay outside the Rib N Reef restaurant in Durham Picture: SARAH CALDECOTT A COUNTY Durham family has just opened their latest venture, transforming a former fashion shop into a brand new high end steak and seafood restaurant. After more than five months, and one national lockdown, the former Psyche in Durham City has been left barely recognisable as the family-run Rib N Reef opened this week. Owned by Durham family, Joanne and Cengiz Akarsu, and managed by daughter Bethany Kay, the restaurant has been among the highly-anticipated names to come to the city. It comes as a string of independents including The Curious Mr Fox, The Butcher s Deli and Stirks Steakhouse in Belmont have opened across Durham in the past few weeks.
Brand new Durham City venues to look forward to which are opening soon Pictures: SARAH CALDECOTT THERE is a lot to look forward to over the next few weeks as six new venues in Durham City are set to open their doors very soon. From a brand new steak and seafood restaurant to a cafe-style restaurant opening in the former Esquires Coffee unit, new names are set to open from next month. It comes as the region moved towards normality last week as food and drink venues were given the go ahead to reopen outdoors. It is hoped that by the time the new venues are ready to open, the next step of the Government s roadmap out of restrictions will be completed.
Rib N Reef to open in former Psyche shop in Durham City Picture: GOOGLE A BRAND new steak and seafood restaurant will open in Durham City Centre - with the owners of the venue likely to be a familiar face to some. Expected to be the first of its kind for Durham, Rib N Reef will open in the former Psyche store in Silver Street later this year. Spearheaded by Joanne and Cengiz Akarsu, who have run the Akarsu Turkish Restaurant and Grill on Silver Street since 2016, the restaurant will be set over the three floors. Revealing their plans, Mrs Akarsu told The Northern Echo that the new venture will offer an experience not found in Durham, as they said they were aiming to open on May 21.
