9 Altars

9 Altars Café is situated on the banks of the River Wear and in the shadow of Durham Cathedral. A wonderful place to stop and unwind whether you want a quick snack, coffee or even to share a bottle of wine with friends. Our heated outdoor terrace sits amongst the trees of the riverbanks and offers beautiful views across the water.

However it is not all location, location, location, 9 Altars is also famous for its massive selection of sandwiches and snacks, our huge variety of teas and coffees and our Durham Brewery real ale - so come and visit us and enjoy the kind of service only an independent family-run business can offer.
