One of the good things about the Riverside Stadium (stylish look and good facilities aside) is that it's located near to quite a few eateries! There's the Brasserie Hudson Quay, which is great dining with a picturesque view of the quay. Romantic, if you're out with your SO. Suitable for large groups looking for a tasty bite post-match, The Six Medals is a hugely popular choice. They do simple fare, but exceptionally well, and offer a bright and vibrant atmosphere.

If the Riverside has inspired you to have your dinner by the waterfront - then just take a 5 minute stroll to Brasserie Hudson Quay - maybe not a place to crash with all the boys but if you want a special ending to the day, then this place gets by recommendation. The Curing House and Meze Lounge are about a 15 minute walk away from the stadium, but they really are worth the effort - the two best restaurants in Middlesborough offer wonderful food in picturesque surroundings.
