Restaurants in Newcastle upon Tyne

Peace & Loaf restaurant

Booking a birthday meal for a carnivore (with an intolerance to various nuts,) and three vegetarians (one of whom can't have dairy, and one of whom can't have dairy, soy or gluten) felt like an impossible challenge - but the team at Peace & Loaf were brilliant!The chefs adapted the long tasting menu for all of our requirements. The presentation was exquisite, and the dishes varied and beautifully cooked.We were made so welcome, and had a really lovely evening. The staff were attentive, and talked us through each dish - happy to answer our questions about interesting herbs and flavours.It was a expensive treat for us - but we felt it was excellent value for money, and well worth splashing out on, for a special occasion.Vegetarian options: They have separate vegetarian tasting menus - both long and short. (We had the long menu - and left almost 3 hours later, having barely noticed the time pass!)Dietary restrictions: As above - with advance notice, they were able to cope with nut, dairy, soy and gluten intolerances without a fuss. We each got the dish intended for us without any confusion every time.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has relatively flat access but is on three levels, with steps. There are tables on the ground floor - but I didn't spot a wheelchair accessible loo... The other loos are up 2 flights of stairs. Definitely worth checking before you come.

Sohe Restaurant

A brilliant restaurant located in the heart of Jesmond - an atmospheric suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne. A special place to sit and dine with a brilliant menu. Food quality is amazing and the service is excellent! Sohe is now a regular dining spot for me! Get it booked! ?

The Broad Chare

Our first visit to The B-road Chare after reading positive reviews - we were very impressed. The food was exceptional - the choice of drinks is impressive - the service was very friendly and efficient - great atmosphere - large beer garden - will definitely be returning .

Aneesa's Buffet Restaurant

Incredible restaurant! We had a very warm welcome by both the waiter and the manager. The manager was so friendly, funny, and eager to show us how the buffet worked. The food was of a sit-down restaurant standard, if not better. Truly authentic Asian food, plenty of spice - and lots of Asian customers - always a very good sign for authentic cuisine! My partner and I are on holiday in Newcastle all the way from Kent, and I'm sure we'll be back, even if just to sample to delights once again of Aneesa's buffet.While we were there, there were 4 birthday parties where the staff made a wonderful effort with happy birthday playing through the speakers, and coming out with a chocolate cake for each birthday-haver, complete with candles, which I noticed the manager re-lit for a girl who didn't get a chance to blow them out. Such attention to detail, manager even took photos of the families at the end.Truly a family, friendly atmosphere. The ONLY complaint I'd have is that it was a little loud in there, and I'm noise sensitive. But that is no poor reflection on the restaurant - merely a sign of how very popular they are there!Would give more than 5 stars if I could :)

Old George Inn

Lovely pub. We’ve been travelling around and found this pub more comfortable with better food than many. Scott was also great and ensured we were happy. We definitely recommend the 1kg chicken wings and the garlic dough balls (these dishes plus a chips kept two big eaters happy).Pints are a little more expensive than other places we’ve been but don’t let it deter you. It’s currently around 5-5.7 pound for a pint depending on the beer.Edit: came back the next day for pizzas and to try the pizza dough balls. All were fantastic! Particularly recommend the Bombay Chicken pizza. This has become a favourite spot for us.

Porterhouse Butcher and Grill

Great food and great location situated within the Fenwicks food court. Starters were amazing and the overall quality of food was fantastic. Steaks were served very rare unfortunately when asked for medium rare, thankfully very well rested so still really enjoyed and suspect it was more of a mix up rather than incorrect cooking. Really helpful and friendly staff, great food and great location will definitely return.

Beirut Lounge Newcastle

Excellent food, excellent service and reasonable prices. We went here on a Friday evening and chose from a great selection of Lebanese options and even tried local Lebanese beer.

Pani's Cafe

Loved this place! Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and very friendly service. Took my son who was returning to Newcastle University. He had the calamari and I had bruschetta to start. For main we went for he malloredus cun sartizzu and fregola ortu. Despite decent portion sizes there were no left overs! Will definitely go back!

Alsham Restaurant

Came here on a whim and was blown away by the hospitality & food. There was so much choice, the portions were generous and the flavours were fantastic. As a vegetarian there were loads of great options. We all thoroughly enjoyed the meal and also loved the coffee! Will definitely be coming back.

Miller & Carter Newcastle

Came for an evening meal with my girlfriend. First time here, and it was amazing!!Really enjoyed the food!I had the 120z sirloin steak (medium), and it was delicious. Can't believe I've waited so long to come!The Mrs was really impressed as well. We both had 3 courses, and it was a good amount of food but not too much to feel overly full! Highly recommend visiting.

Twenty Twenty Bar Newcastle

I went here for my birthday this year and had the loveliest time.We were in a bigger group (around 20 of us) and had cocktails and pizza - the pizzas were so so yummy, I couldn’t recommend them enough. The cocktails were also really tasty and strong, and there was a nice variety to choose from. Our servers were really helpful and attentive, as well as patient (trying to figure out the bill with 20 people was a nightmare).The table next to us were being really rowdy (I think it was a stag do) and they were quickly told to be quiet, which I really appreciated!Overall the food and service were great and I’ll definitely be back!

Turtle Bay Newcastle

Very amazing food, atmosphere, and drinks, Beth was amazing wirh the bottomless brunch service, and so is Dan, lush experience 10/10Vegetarian options: Things like island brunch bowl etc where its more chickpeas,’plantain wtc and has no jerk meat

Chez Mal Brasserie & Bar

The bistro is on the first floor (stairs or lift) and traditionally decorated with dark wood, heavy silverware, mirrors and quirky art. On Sunday, there's a chef's table to start; soup and a good array of fish, meats and vegetable salads. Special mention for the marinated salmon and a spicy hummous. Roast beef was plentiful, tender and properly pink; the accompanyiong vegetables were all delicious: roasties with rosemary, chantenay carrots, perfectly (ie barely) cooked shredded cabbage and sticky roast parsnips. None of us, however, was impressed with the giant, dry Yorkshires, ubiquitous on a Sunday roast these days. I wish chefs would get over size and concentrate on a pud which has both crispness and a squidgy bit at the bottom. Two small ones are much more welcome than a giant puffball. One of the party chose black sea bass which she said was excellent. We couldn't manage desserts but indulged in some cocktails in the adjacent bar. Drinks prices are typical for a 4* hotel on the river - £12 for a glass of Lanson champagne, similar for a 250ml serving of a decent Rioja. Cocktails are around £12. Terrific service by Tessie and colleagues who were attentive but not intrusive.

Three Bulls Heads

A real gem of a pub the beer is great with a vast choice prices are good and the atmosphere is lovely ,clean tidy and well kept a staff are really friendly a real credit to the management and staff .

Fat Hippo Newcastle

I was at Newcastle Fat Hippo for a relatives birthday. I was the first one there and had the most amazing greeting from George and Freddie. They were so welcoming and friendly, I can’t remember the last time I received such a fantastic welcome.As expected the service and the food was amazing thanks for a great visit would absolutely recommend.They do a great food range and I also noticed they had a special menu for anyone with allergies

Black Garter

Booked table to watch nufc v psg champions league match, the service was top rank and the staff were great. The atmosphere of the bar was the best I've seen in Newcastle.

COOP Chicken House

Really nice place, takes a good while for the food to arrive but that's because it is cooked fresh and is consequently delicious. The menu looked expensive but because the main course came with sides we ended up with a very good value meal for three. Lots of original sauces and seasonings. Really liked it, will come back.

The Falcon's Nest

Such a lovely place to eat! Service is great, everyone who works here is lovely! Food is divine every time, we had steak, would seriously recommend the beef dripping sauce, chefs kiss. They always accommodate my mums restrictive dietary requirements also which is a huge bonus for us.Special mention to Alex who served us, and always Natalie whos fab too. Thank you guys xxx

Ottoman Turkish Restaurant

3 of us had a fantastic meal this evening which also great value. The food was excellent, and the service friendly with a great sense of humour. I would highly recommend.

Las Iguanas - Newcastle

I had an amazing time at Las Iguanas celebrating my friends birthday. What truly set this place apart was the exceptional service provided by our waitress, Jordan. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. Thanks to Jordan and the entire staff for a fantastic night!

Mantra Thai Dining Restaurant

Service was excellent. Cocktails were good. Some of the food was good but some weren’t great considering the price. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for a meal out!

Café 21, Fenwick

Very tasty smoked salmon and crab starter. Pollock dish lovely and so was vegan cheeseburger. Earl grey ice cream could have been stronger flavoured, almon cake delicious. Waitresses very attentive and efficient.

Khai Khai (খাই খাই) Indian Restaurant Newcastle Upon Tyne

We had curry at three different Indian restaurants last week and Khai Khai was by far the best. Very rich and flavorful. Especially the buckwheat curry we had was spectacular. Not too salty or bland, it was creamy and bringing out the natural flavor out of buckwheat to the fullest.I was surprised to find a 10% service charge added to my bill though. I wish they informed us or made it optional.

ARLO Bistro & Cafe

Went last night for the small plates deal. The service was friendly and the staff very attentive. We found it to be extremely good value for the money and the food absolutely delicious. Each plate was so tasty and full of flavour. It’s the best meal out I’ve had for years. Keep up the good work.

Akenside Traders

Became our local during our stay in Newcastle. Partly because it was at the bottom of all the hills that city has but mostly because the atmosphere was excellent, the beer great and the staff were good banter. If you're Quayside, go there.

Silk Room Restaurant & Champagne Room

This spot is great for a night out. The food is amazing and would definitely recommend the lamb. Amazing service and hospitality shown by the staff. Will be back soon

Khan's Restaurant

The best Indian food I've ever eaten in my life! Myself and my Australian boyfriend absolutely loved every single bite! Highly recommend! Lovely staff & good service. My boyfriend wants to go there for dinner every single night now!

Caspian Restaurant Turkish Cuisine

This restaurant is a little gem in Newcastle so pleased I came across it , the food is amazing has to be one of the best Turkish cuisine in Newcastle the food is just mouth watering to say the least, the chef Mo and the staff are friendly and helpful recommending great choices of food can’t wait to go back would definitely recommend you won’t be disappointed great place with amazing food and great friendly atmosphere.

Red Mezze

Beautiful food, a real gem in the city. Lovely friendly staff and very nice decor. A range of people eating here from a large group to people eating on their own. Everyone catered for.

The Brandling Arms

We had a lovely afternoon at Brandling Arms for my baby shower. The function room itself is situated upstairs and private from the main pub/restaurant. The buffet food was perfect, exactly what we'd hoped for and had many compliments from my friends. Kai serving us was very polite and helpful! It was lovely to have a member of staff purely allocated to us and a private bar (so not having to go downstairs to purchase drinks). We would not hesitate in using Brandling Arms again for a future event and would recommend it to our friends and family.

Shell

Took my rover 25 here for a quick top up fantastic service and fantastic fuel I topped up with the extra special fuel and boy did it do wonders for the old girl. She was like a little rocket when I pulled out that forecourt

Shell

Costa Coffee

It's my local coffee store,and the warm welcome is apertizing,those kids work really hard,and just ware on earth can you get a flavour like Costas.a Wiltshire ham toastie + a large Capocheno,ask for it xtra hot .

McDonald's

Me and Mum popped in for a late evening snack before we headed to our hotel for the night. The place was very clean and the staff that were on were friendly, the place wasn't busy at all so there wasn't many staff about on the floor. The toilets were clean. The food was good and nothing on our order was missed which was nice to see, especially when sometimes things can be missed off.

Shell

A very handy spot for online shopping (e.g. Amazon) pick-ups and returns. Large selection of soft drinks plus Starbucks coffee machine and selection of fresh sandwiches plus other food. Some essentials (e.g. milk and bread) but due to it's size there's not as wide a selection as you'd find in most petrol stations run by one the big supermarkets, though the staff are always very friendly. Newly refurbished.

McDonald's

It is a standard McDonald's, the staff here are friendly. I have had 3 episodes where I have ordered stuff in the drive through and got home to find out there is stuff missing from my order. I wrote a formal complaint and was sent a voucher for a small fries haha for the missing £3 burger. It does make me double check everything before I drive away. Other than this the service is ok.

McDonald's

Food was the same.as every other McDonald's, service pretty poor miserable customer service assistant on the till. Atmosphere terrible, 10 year olds vaping whilst we were eating with our child, nothing said about it.

McDonald's

Absolutely loved my experience at the McDonald's on Granger Street in Newcastle! The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, making my order exactly as I wanted it. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable dining environment. The food was delicious and served quickly, hitting the spot perfectly. I can't wait to visit again and indulge in their tasty offerings. Highly recommend this location for a satisfying meal!

McDonald's

I went to the drive through after the Newcastle match (Man City, Caraboa Cup) and the staff were very friendly and the food was just what I wanted. In fact, I think it was the best service I have ever had at a McDonalds drive through. Both windows 10/10.

McDonald's

There was a massive queue at the drive in, so we parked and I went in and ordered. This move proved to be a masterstroke of strategy and fortune. The food was ready quickly considering how busy the restaurant was at that moment. The food was fresh and correct which was a bonus.

Jashn Restaurant

Always amazing!This is the best Indian restaurant in the world. I’ve been coming here for 12 years and keep coming back, the food is unbelievably delicious and healthy, the atmosphere is wonderful and the staff amazing!Ten stars!!!

Butterfly Cabinet

I had been told to try here by a number of people and I am glad that I tried had to wait to be sat at a table but well worth the wait. I went for the business breakfast which was excellent my wife had poached eggs on brown toast which hit the spot these were washed down with the breakfast tea. Great service from all the staff we will be back.

wagamama newcastle

First time at this chain, lovely staff and great food. They did warn that the meals would be ready at different times, I was waiting for mine while my partner had finished theirs, which is not a huge deal but not ideal as well so there you go.

Kamal Restaurant

Food always absolutely delicious. Staff always friendly and very efficient. Try it for yourself and see.Kid-friendliness: Staff always there to help and will always remember you and your name.

One Kitchen & Social

Honestly I come here on a regular for my iced coffee and the staff are fantastic, kind and welcoming. Sometimes on a weekend I will get myself some food and honestly it is some of the nicest food I have ever had, highly recommend the chicken parm burger, elite taste buds only. Love working next door to them.

PedallingSquares

We all had different dishes for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and the food was lovely. We are from South London and cycling enthusiasts, so was a great visit to see all the cycling memorabilia and the bike workshop was good to see.Dietary restrictions: They had gluten free cake which I thought was good as I often don't see them in regular place's

Costa Coffee

I visit this branch daily on my way to work and the staff are so lovely! The service is always great and there is a nice, welcoming atmosphere. It's great to sit in too, with seating upstairs and a warm, homely-feel decor. Overall, great store and even better staff!

Pret A Manger

such friendly and fast service, eating in facilities are a little dated and the whole place could probably do with a refurb however can’t fault the service and

The Collingwood Arms

Just moved to the area and decided to try the nearest watering hole - what a treat! Fabulous pint(s) of TT Landlord, lovely glass of Sauvignon blanc served by brilliant efficient staff, can’t wait to return.

Starbucks Coffee

I always get a matcha frappe which never disappoints. The only reason for 4 stars is that this Starbucks does not accept the rewards app which is really annoying considering it has the best location out of all the Starbucks in town. However, the staff are always sweet and it has a really nice layout for social and work coffee dates. I am yet to buy food here but I’ve never had an issue with an order.

Greggs

Great location and plenty of parking available. We regularly go for breakfast. You can't beat a bacon and sausage sandwich and a hot chocolate. Great staff, always impressive how many orders they manage to handle. Highly recommended!

Costa Coffee

I never normally do reviews for places but this costa is amazing. As a newcastle uni student I'm in here quite a lot to do work, the atmosphere isn't either chaotic or dead and although it gets quite busy at times the staff are always lovely.

Zapatista Burrito Bar

IMO the best place in Newcastle for Tex Mex food. Whether it's a burrito or a quesadilla, it's always nice and tasty. They make it fresh to order so you can have it exactly as you want too, and there is plenty of choice for ingredients. The pulled pork is a particular favourite of mine, it's always seasoned well and juicy rather than dry. Topped off with their creamy Monterey Jack cheese and any combo is a winner.

Greggs

Best bakery on the planet, no ifs buts or maybes, no probably or any of that nonsense just take it from me & many millions more that up & down the country & the rest of the world, this is simply No1, Numaro Uno, The OG The G.O.A.T just THE end of story.By the way, any Americans, Canadians, Ausies reading this, get back to your country & get the word out about GREGGS not GR, EGGS Greggs... " watch the You Tube video if you don't understand "

Happy Cherry Chinese Takeaway

Had my first ever munchy box last night what can I say absolutely repulsive there were several bought for a family party and there was not 2 the same very disappointed when you find fish fingers onion rings and chips for £16 so I say don't

House of Tides

Enjoyed a wonderful meal in here on Saturday. Worth every penny. The food and service was exceptional. Highly recommend to anyone wanting an informal but very special night out.

21

We had the 5 course seasonal menu with accompanying wine flight which was all delicious. The chef was also able to substitute or modify some dishes to cater for allergies in the party. Service was all excellent and the whole meal was nicely paced with breaks where needed. We also opted for the optional cheese course with port.

Pleased To Meet You

We did not eat here. Great venue for a family celebration. We were in the downstairs room. Good access for bar and restrooms. Excellent atmosphere for private uninterrupted party. Loved the rustic style and helpful staff.

Jollibee Newcastle

?Great fried chicken. Gravy was good and full of flavour. Food served hot and quickly. Tables clean. Patient, friendly staff.?The Rice portion is too small.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible

Moti Jheel

Excellent service from Riz at moti jheel. Really good quality takeaway , flavours in the curry were excellent , really recommend this takeaway for quality and value

Free Trade Inn

Looks can be deceiving. Went to meet up with some friends and what a treat. I would suggest a traditional style pub with little in the ways of airs and graces, just a welcoming atmosphere with a great feeling. Difficult to put your finger in it but the staff were efficient and happy to see me, I think!The juke box was an interesting feature as was the curving bar that displayed a wide offering of cask beers, cider and fruit things! Each to their own. Dog friendly with a constant number of humans at the bar I would suggest waiting for the pub quiz on the Wednesday.Venturing outside 2 very pleasant seating areas with the one across the road offering one of the best views down the quayside in to the city. Top photo opportunity when the sun was setting over the town.To top off the night there was a mobile pizza van from Scream for Pizza and whilst I did not partake this evening they my fav with the associated restaurant up there. Appears that they offer a beer and pizza combo, match made in heaven.A definite revisit soon with some more friends.

Pizzeria Italia Newcastle

Amazing pizzas!!! We had the special Margarita with saffron and chicken, and Dolce Vita.The staff were very friendly and helpful. The dessert was also superb ??Highly

A great little deli and cafe with home made cakes, good coffee and lovely friendly service. We stopped on our way South, tried a cheese scone, a delicious lamb and mint pastie and an almond biscuit-all delicious so we stopped on our way back up North too!

Riverview Bakery

Bought cakes & pies to takeaway.Place was absolutely packed and everyone seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere their food & beverages.Everything was beautiful presented loads to chose from something for everyone and a good selection of vegetarian foods.Staff were very curteous and pleasant didn't wait long to be served place was spotlessly clean and of course the added bonus of free parking.Vegetarian options: Quiche is absolutely gorgeous.Parking: Always a bonus when you can park free.

1771 Club House

Went to 1771 today for Sunday lunch. Ordered the beef, came with seasonal veg, mash, roasters, stuffing and a humongous Yorkshire, swimming in gorgeous gravy. My partner had the chicken Kiev which was amazing, a huge piece of chicken which just melted in the mouth. Homemade chips came with it which were crispy and tasty. Definitely recommend 1771, the staff are so attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is lovely. 10/10Parking: Large car park outsideKid-friendliness: Highchairs available

Mimi's Ice Cream Emporium

My workmate and myself stopped in for milkshakes today and were very impressed! The salted caramel that I chose was incredible. The service was great, too! We'll absolutely be coming back.

Dhillons Fish Inn

Fabulous fish and chips. Light crisp batter and perfect fluffy chips. Generous portions so I shared with dad. Thank you for your friendly service. I thoroughly recommend Throckley Dhillons.

Caffè Nero

Nice café with friendly staff. Of course the coffee is good. The place can be quite busy and is next to a rather busy street, but still a great place to kick back and enjoy a coffee and a chat with friends.

Greggs

They used to be an affordable place to eat but the price increases just make it less and less so.Wheelchair accessibility: If there is no queue you will have no issues with wheelchair access.

Greggs

Been going to this Greggs weekly over last two years for me breakfast bun morning mood-setting. It's a tiny store but it's a great store.Special props to Jane, Lukas and Bailey – consistently provide happy and effective service that counts! Absolute dream team. Definitely deserve an award for outstanding service.

Costa Coffee

Had a lovely visit to this costa today. I’m a frequent Costa user and had to leave a review today after Curtis made my coffee the best I’ve ever had it!! Thank you

Capheaton Village Tearoom

Glorious tea room in the old village hall. Good selection of homemade cakes to eat inside the hall or outside on the picnic tables.Really popular with cyclists at the weekend.

Newton Park

This is our 2nd visit here, we're not locals. The menu is very vast & great value, I must say the steak & Ruddles ale pie is very tasty. We even had the ultimate big candymania to share afterwards. The staff were very friendly & there are lots of tables so you do not need to book most of the time.
