Here’s our latest roundup of new openings from over the past few weeks in the city, from Detroit-style pizzas to classic Indian dishes with a modern twist and ice cream-filled croissants.
1. RIO Brazilian Steakhouse, Low Row
RIO has been one of the biggest new openings with years of anticipation for its eat-all-you can meat and salad offering. It opened to much fanfare this month after a £500,00 refurbishment of the former Halo / Bid Bigalows site in Low Row. For the non-meat eaters, you can also just do the unlimited salad bar, with an a la carte menu also available. | Sunderland Echo
