graduation Celebrations
in durham
We’re delighted to welcome graduates, families and friends from across the UK and around the world to Brasserie Quartier. Join us at Brasserie Quartier for relaxed French-inspired dining in the heart of the city, with our usual brunch, lunch and dinner menus.
Brasserie Quartier is an independent, family-run French brasserie in the heart of Durham city centre - a short walk from Durham Cathedral, the colleges, and the Market Place.
Graduation season is one of our favourite times of year, and we'd love to be part of yours.
Whether you're joining us for brunch after the morning ceremony, a long and relaxed celebratory lunch, or an evening of French-inspired dining with the people who matter most — we serve our full menus throughout graduation week, at our usual prices.
Our full menus are served throughout graduation week at our usual prices — no set menus, no occasion surcharges. Just great food, French wine, and the kind of atmosphere worth celebrating in.
