When we saw the tapas prices, we thought it was quite expensive, but having ordered and tasted it, the food was very good and worth what we paid. Every dish we had tasted very good, so I wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

We visited Allards, Tynemouth on a busy Friday night. I’d made a mess of the booking- oh dear! Clementina was absolutely fantastic. She sorted the. issue I’d made and found us a great table. She then looked after us for the evening and ensured we had a great time. Thank you Clementina!

We booked for lunch time tapas - I would recommend booking as it gets busy. Despite being busy it was comfortable and felt safe with decent distancing and safety measures. My nine-year-old son, wife and I ordered eight tapas, a flatbread and chips. It was way too much - but that’s okay, because they package up your left overs to take home. I couldn’t possibly try to single out any one dish, as every one was more beautifully tasty than the last. Okay, I will try: * Patatas Bravas are very spicy, in a wonderful, creamy Marsala sauce * The scallops are beautiful, but the black-pudding crumble it comes with us to die for * There are large lumps of steak on the flatbread which are melt-in-the-mouth delicious * Paella - just yes. We had the seafood and the meat ones.

Visited yesterday with my wife and dog Had a Collingwood pizza, which was a lovely thin crispy base pizza with meat toppings. Was really great, only downside was we went in at 2:30ish and hqad to pay full price. Only £5.95 after 3 The wife had a CBA wrap, consisting of an amazingly well filled wrap of chicken bacon and avocado, woth side of chips. Cant fault the serive received, and they even provided a dog bowl of water and a small jar of snacks for the pooch. Lovely atmosphere, and decor.

Wanted to go somewhere for lunch with my dog. I got a beef brisket sandwich and it was very, very tasty. However, a little bit disappointed as although part of the place is for dogs, my dog wasn’t even allowed on my knee. The waitress told me to put him on the floor and was very apologetic-even said to me that she didn’t agree with it as it was a dog friendly place!

Visitamos Tynemouth a principios de año y nos detuvimos en Allards para el brunch. Mi salmón ahumado, espinacas y aguacate sobre tostadas fue sacado y era salmón (sin fumar), espinacas y aguacate negro. Si un miembro del personal se molestara en comprobar que nuestras comidas estaban bien, iba a llamar la atención sobre el aguacate, ya que era claramente inadecuado para comer. Pero nunca nos registramos y una comida sencilla fue decepcionante. El baño de señoras dejaba mucho que desear también.

Hoy estuve en Allards para el desayuno y las comidas eran increíbles, pero lo que lo hizo más especial fue el personal, entré en contacto con Sophie y Pandy. Ambos muy conocedores, amables, accesibles y dirían personalmente que necesitan ser agradecidos y serían la razón principal por la que regresaría. El único fallo sería el inodoro no practicado: mientras usa el urinario, puede ver a las personas que usan el retrete a través de la puerta.

Después de un largo paseo, mi compañero y yo fuimos a allards. Me senté con mi perro pequeño en mi rodilla. El gerente se me acercó y me pidió que la bajara para proteger las fundas del asiento (el perro había estado sobre mi rodilla, NO el asiento). Hice lo que me pidió y, en consecuencia, el perro lloró todo el rato. No me habría importado mucho si mi compañero no hubiera estado en el bar en el proceso de gastar 50 platos en x 5 tapas, que no eran más que aceptables. La hostilidad del gerente contaminó el tiempo que pasamos allí. No "perro amigable" en absoluto. Comida - media.

Popped in for Breakfast which was nice and quite different from the normal fayre. Coffee was delicious and the prices very reasonable. Only disappointment was the tables are quite close and we ended up next to a family with whining a brat and they were so middle class that they were trying to negotiate with a spoiled kid ! No fault of the restaurant but they need more space between tables as sharing breakfast with other peoples kids is not my thing.

Went for lunch, but on arriving at 11.40am we were told the lunch menu wasn't available til around 12.10pm. That was fine, but we were disappointed to find that when we ordered coffees to put us on until the lunch menu was available, a particularly unhelpful lad at the bar said we couldn't start a 'tab' - he said we had to pay for the coffees then come back and pay again for lunch! Not impressed at all! More impressed by subsequent service and food.

Just returning home after a visit to Newcastle to visit my parents, during which we booked Allards Lounge in Tynemouth. An excellent establishment just around the corner from my patents house. We were looked after by Pandy during our visit and could not have been happier. The whole family opted for a large selection of delicious Tapas washed down with a couple of bottles of wine. Was especially impressed with their chicken wings....which were canny massive! Equally impressed with all the other dishes and the home made cakes.

As we were at the coast we decided we wanted fish and chips for lunch. Unfortunately our favourite restaurant, Longsands fish kitchen, was fully booked we decided to try Allards as it had a welcoming exterior. Upon entering the building and decor was lovely, however the food was not! We ordered 3 fish and chips. When it arrived, it looked rather appetizing however upon eating, the fish and batter was soggy and some of the chips were quite hard. The tartare sauce just tasted of mayonnaise. At £9.75 each, we were very dissapointed and won't be returning.

My Son and his new Wife had just returned from honeymoon and this was meant to be a special meal before they return to work 2moro! To be honest I would have enjoyed a KFC more Sorry but true!

A Fathers Day Sunday lunch for us with the family.....Pleasant surroundings and the place is tastefully decorated.After ordering, a random bowl of chips appeared and sat on the table for 10-15 minutes until a member of staff arrived to take it away, the staff then debated among themselves how it had came to be there near the bar area.Once the main courses arrived, one of our party was left without hers. On asking, this took some time to arrive, by which time the rest of us had finished. Spoilt things a bit, but the food was nice.The errant meal was deducted from the bill as were the drinks, which was appreciated, but all in all, as there weren't that many people in the place at the time, it was hard to understand how such simple mistakes could've been made in the first place.Perhaps different on another day.....

We have always loved this place but our visit yesterday was very disappointing. Although the place wasn't full it was fairly busy. Service was slow and not the best. The waiter spilt one of our coffees into the saucer and actually said 'oh sorry'. He did nothing to mop it up or to help us do so. But the food was the truly disappointing aspect. We had fish and chips which were bland, tasteless with the batter on the fish barely cooked at all. We won't be going back for food.

The menu has a good selection and so good that everything is listed as "dairy free" or " gluten free" etc. For someone like me who is dairy free, eating out can be a challenge so this made it so much easier to choose without bothering the server with endless questions! Will definitely be back here again and would recommend.

We visited Allard's last night, 25th February for my birthday night out. Very much looking forward to it as have always had very positive experiences in the past with breakfasts and lunch. Unfortunately last night was different. Three of us had the sirloin steak, one rare, medium and well done. The other had the meat platter. All three steaks were cooked to order however, they were all extremely tough and served in high sided plates that made it even more difficult. The meat platter came to the table burnt black. The service was lacking, staff just hanging around the bar. My husband waited 20 minutes for his beer, he ended up going to the bar to get it himself. The bill came to £126 which we would have normally been more than happy to have paid, but feel we have thrown our money away. Very very disappointing birthday meal.

She really welcomed us and made us feel welcome. Ordered drinks and food no problem - they had ran out of a few dishes but nothing major but this was due to it being very very busy! (Was a lovely day.) anyway, food came and it was just fantastic! Potatas bravas is just unreal - flatbread is amazing! Always recommend this over a popular tapas bar down the road - always say to come to allards instead! Will be back!

I used to visit allards regularly as it was small, different and certainly quirky. The menu has not changed much, but hey have extended the restaurant.It is busier than ever and the ambiance has changed.Proper tables have replaced small stools and odd chairs.While it's still nice and the food is ok, it's not the same, and the originality has gone.Staff are friendly but not very prompt and service can be a bit slow.On the plus side it's still nice on a sunny day and it's dog friendly which is a big plus!I'd not advise people not to give it aGo however as everywhere has off days and I used to love this place. The menu is a bit different to usual tapas but also serves bar food which is good. Price is good especially for location, and decor remains lovely. I guess all in all it's average compared to what I would have previously rated it and in comparison to other restaurants and bars nearby.

Tried the new restaurant for food, first and last time we would eat here. Cramped table, really poor service and the food wasnt great, when it all eventually got to us.

Called in here with friends over the weekend and decided to try the afternoon tea. The food was super and looked and tasted great. Sadly, it was the service that let it down! We waited ages to give a drinks order, then the wrong drinks came (took a while to then get the right drinks) and the service was rather clumsy. Staff didn't know what was included with the afternoon tea and what hot drinks were included, so it was a bit of gamble but definitely paid off. The atmosphere was nice, comfortable setting and overall a pleasant visit. I would return again and hope the serving staff are on slightly better form!

Atmosphere great, decor plush. The menu was interesting and we all chose breakfast meals BUT the food took 20 minutes (for poached eggs etc not a full cooked meal) and the food wasn't that hot. Disappointing but the friends we were with said they've never waited that long. Dogs also allowed in 'bar' part so useful for dog walkers.

Visited Allards the other had a steak and I requested it cooked medium rare and it arrived covered in blood, I was massively disappointed. Also I felt the waiter was being very blunt with me, not the high levels of service I expected. On top of this I felt my house lager tasted very flat and just like any ordinary lager. Will not be visiting again any time soon

Me and my Girlfriend came here for some lunch with my sister who was visiting from Leeds.We had four tapas and one of the sharing breads whilst my sister ordered the fish and chips.All our food was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The surroundings too were chic and relaxing, and the staff were quite friendly.Would definitely recommend anyone come here for lunch or dinner.

I went to Allards with my family for a meal to celebrate a birthday. I had a chicken burger and it was amazing, I feel as though this was great value for money. The decor gives the restaurant a nice atmosphere, and our waitress, Ellen was exceptionally polite.

We have been here twice this week, once fir breakfast and once for lunchThe menus for both sittings are very good and inventive. Unfortunately the poached eggs I had for breakfast were hard boiled and for some strange reason a toasted tea cake arrived with a garnish if ocean shoots!That said the rest of the party were happy with the foodThe lunchtime menu is extensive and the flat breads with Gorgonzola, pear and pecan nuts and salmon with cream cheese pesto and capers were well receivedThe staff are all very polite and engaging, particularly Pandy who served us on both occasionsA love,y comfortable place to dine and relax, child friendly too!
