Tango Durham

You're on Saddler Street, that cobbled stretch between the cathedral and the river where Durham gets properly lively. Tango's the kind of place that's always rammed—partly because word got out that they actually know what they're doing with a burger. The menu's reassuringly short, which is never a bad sign. Expect beef that tastes like beef, buns that don't fall apart halfway through, and toppings that matter. It's the sort of spot where you'll see everyone from students to office workers queuing for lunch, all happy to wait because they know what's coming.
