The eatery, at Summerhouse, has reopened after being given an extended and redeveloped kitchen, as well as the building of a new restaurant entrance.
There are also glass walls allowing diners to view chef and owner James Close and his team prepare their food.
The Raby Hunt made culinary history last autumn when Michelin awarded the former 200-year-old drovers’ inn a second prestigious star, a first for either a North East-based chef or restaurant.
Mr Close, 37, said: “This is the first time The Raby Hunt has been closed since taking it on seven years ago.
“Having gained a second Michelin star last autumn, the time was right to invest and put The Raby Hunt on not just the UK’s good food map, but the world’s.”
He added: “We want to make The Raby Hunt more unique than it already is, and ensure our guests experience an even greater ‘wow’ factor when they dine with us.
“This has been a major investment for us, but I am confident it has moved The Raby Hunt up another step.”
Mr Close is the current Good Food Guide Chef of the Year and has recently been nominated in the Chefs’ Chef of the Year category in the Estrella Damm National Restaurant Awards 2017.
