Allard's Lounge in North Tyneside

Lovely food, staff very attentive helpful professional. Can't wait to go back, Tapas delicious...

Usually just have coffee during the day. Recent low numbers have resulted in only half the cafe being closed, which doesn't look good. Tapas is good.

Brilliant atmosphere and great food and great staff

Nice staff. Food also nice but not hot. Got a slice of cake from the display counter(£4) . So old and hard you could use it to successfully coat a nuclear bunker. We actually bent the fork trying to break it apart. Took it back, got a refund. However we noted that they placed it back in the display counter. for some other poor customer. Ps hot drinks are cold..... buyer beware😭

Lovely new tapas menu. We come here often and we were served by Clementina for the first time who provided a great service. Very friendly and efficient. Nice chilled environment.

A little too expensive for the quality of food received. Example - a cold flatbread with raw cabbage, a few splodges of curry mayonnaise and a handful of shredded cold chicken was around £15 :-(

We came as a family to Allards Tynemouth this evening for my sister’s birthday and we had the most wonderful night! We were served by the lovely Jack B who was so gracious and attentive and he made my sister’s birthday really special. Brilliant food and even better service. Thank you team Allards and Jack!

Great food. Service in bar area was extremely slow at clearing tables however we didn't experience it, only an observation. Would we go back? Yes possibly into the restaurant side next time.

10/10 food, atmosphere, price and dog friendly, can’t complain!

Visted this evening food tasteless very over priced as part of restaurant week it was 2 courses for£15.00 was till we got bill they added extra £6.00 for burgers not at all value for money house wine and house larger tasteless will not be returning

Love having a spot of lunch here. The staff are friendly and the food is good value. They let dogs into one side of the restaurant which is great.

Clementina was great and the food was lovely. We had tapas and a few beers on a Thursday evening. One of us had fish and chips which looked good too.

Plenty of empty tables but a 25 minute wait to order a meal, food was good but quantity over presentation. But overall an enjoyable evening

Great place to meet up with an ex colleague and real friend after several years. Great location, good service & nice food.

Stopped for lunch and a coffee. Lovely.

This place is NOT dog friendly. It has 2 areas, one where dogs are not allowed and another where they are. We were asked to leave, as our dog barked a couple of times. The waitresses were lovely, the owner was not. There are plenty of other dog friendly establishments in Tynemouth - so maybe don’t advertise as dog friendly because you are not.

Clementina was the best host, recommended the best choices on menu and was so amazing with us....thank you

Great food, perfect atmosphere and impeccable service from Clementina. I highly recommend.

Had breakfast here,very enjoyable, and plenty of it. It was quite a big place and it was nice and clean. Staff is very friendly.

there is delicious vegan food here! we had the burger, a pizza, arancini and cauliflower wings (the wings were particularly great). Great for a late dinner after a long day exploring the area :) We were so hungry and the food was so tasty we didn’t get any pictures :P Great service too!

Lovely bar/restaurant in the village. Good service and good Happy hour deals on food on weekdays. Pizzas were very tasty.

My mam wanted to bring the family out for dinner and we decided to come when the specials were on with the kids. The meal and drinks order was taken and after the drinks were dropped off, it was another 40 mins until the food arrived at our table! There was some food delivered to us by mistake but apart from that we were not spoken too or acknowledged by staff until our food finally arrived. We could see/ hear staff complaining about customers returning food where we were sat and they all passed the milk around between themselves to be smelt which my 3yr old was served in a large glass filled with ice! The bill come and was incorrect, as the meal deal drinks were coke instead of 2 glasses of wine. Also £10 service charge was applied where we did not think this was fair due to the lack of service and only having ‘2 chefs’ in the kitchen. You can’t expect customers to come in for specials and have them wait 45mins for food! Nothing special about that!

We recently visited this tapas restaurant and had a delightful experience. The staff, especially Clementina, were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to a warm and welcoming vibe. As for the food, I highly recommend trying the halloumi with honey—it’s the perfect balance of salty and sweet, and absolutely delicious. The squid was also a standout, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Every dish was fresh and beautifully presented. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy great tapas in a lovely setting.

Great food, very friendly staff!

Breakfast look like the left over food that comes of the plate of another customer. Staff had their laugh at the back when I complained. Half a tomato cost £1:50. It’s the type of breakfast you choose your item. Carry on laughing at me. You don’t have my custom anymore.

Most of the food I got was great. And the pints were good as well. I got the beef brisket tacos and the burger sliders. Both very nice. However I did pay £7.50 for some chips that were bland and dry and just worth even £2 nevermind £7.50 I tried my mate's short rib croquettes and they were also very good. The chips were a massive let down.

Booked for 5 of us at 10.30am on a busy Sunday for breakfast. It was busy but not not hectic and we were immediately informed there would be a 30 - 40 minute wait for food.We didnt mind that too much as we chatted. When the food arrived however I have to say it was very poor. I ordered Avocado on sourdough with poached eggs. It came on a plain piece of thin sliced bread which was burned. There was hardly any avocado and abour 8 half mushrooms. Two others in our group had eggs benedict, these arrived on a cold untoasted white muffin . I asked the waitress why they werent toasted and she said she didnt know they were meant to be and would mention to chef and we heard no more about it. One of our group had pancakes and the other Shashuka which were fine. We regularly visit Allards on the Quay at North Shields and the food there is far better. At £86 it was pretty expensive for the quality of food and sadly we wont visit again.

Very nice restaurant that you can also go with children after 5 o'clock 😁

Excellent service from the moment we were seating even though it was a busy Saturday night in August. Clementina looked after us all night and couldn’t have been more attentive—first class!!! Excellent food softly delivered

Walked in at 8.30pm on a busy night, looking to eat. Refused a table by the inexplicably rude "manager" because the kitchen had closed. Please update your online service hours. And maybe think about some staff training?

Half empty restaurant but it took about 30 mins to place the order and another 30 for the fries. Out of dough so we couldn’t get pizzas either:/

Fantastic food and service, lovely staff

Hands down the worst roast dinner I’ve ever had delivered, you physically cannot get roast potatoes wrong on a Sunday roast like it’s a lot harder to make bad then make good, and they were rock hard, still frozen in my opinion. 17 pounds and the portion size was tiny, I push anyone to go tobey carvery etc, it was dreadful, seen more meat on my big toe

Nice to be back,always a nice greeting from the staff,home from home

Once again amazing value tapers deal food lovely and amazing service from Jonathan even remembered our names when we arrived and the wine we liked to drink. He is a amazing at his customer service 😍

Great atmosphere a really chilled vibe. The tapas meal deal is a winner 4 tapas and 2 wines who can complain for less than £25 and the food was delish. The waiter Jonathan was really helpful and knowledgeable about the food and gave a good recommendation.

Had a fantastic meal. Food was delicious. Serves (Tori and Clementine) were very and helpful and provided outstanding service.

For a gastro pub, the service and food was no better than Wetherspoon's which is a lot cheaper. We had to wait a couple of minutes for a table despite the inside being mostly empty and the waitress at the bar talking to the person behind it. The attention to detail needs to improve.

Great food and lovely staff. We came for breakfast and had the stories. You could build your own sandwich. We had black pudding, beans and bacon. The Stornoway black pudding was the best we'd tasted. We also had poached eggs, mushrooms and smoked salmon. The portions were generous. Served by a great waitress, Clementina who was very patient answering our questions. Highly recommend!

We were reccomended by our BnB to go here for breakfast, so we did. I had the BYO Brekkie Stottie with Pineapple Juice and Green Tea. All super tasty, the place is very chill yet boujix and the service is spot on, they really look after you there. P.s we booked and I highly reccomend you do that as it is really poppular.

We went for the Tapas deal and added some extras. Always fabulous food and never left hungry. Great start to our holiday before heading to the airport tomorrow 😀

Great Tapas , friendly staff , all round nice restaurant 😊

Stopped for some breakfast while it rained and very friendly staff menu items not availability but I had a great Shatushka and coffee very yummy.

It's a decent place if you want to sit and chat. Service is average, food is certainly not 'gastro' but it's alright. The environment is nice and doesn't tend to feel too busy even when it's full.

Good place to go for Good food ect and a lovely atmosphere. xxxx

We were visiting the area and called in for an early evening meal. The staff welcomed us with genuine warmth and the reasonably priced food was out of this world...we. WILL be back

Bacon on eggs benedict so hard, knife couldn't cut through, told staff who told kitchen, didn't seem interested

Well looked after by Clementina as usual. Excellent Tapas, one of the best bars in Tynemouth. From a personal perspective it’s the best of the 3 Allard’s sites.

This is our 3rd time at Allards. As always the staff was nice and friendly. However we had a long wait for the food to arrive. This was put right by the manager offering us a free drink each. We love the tapas here but two of the dishes were salty- the paella extremely salty, so much so we had to send it back. Again I cannot fault the service as it was taken off the bill. However the overall experience was definitely not as good as we have had.

Mussels was not nice,it did not taste fresh,the server asked the kitchen and they informed her that they were fresh. I didn't like the salty cod croquette. As a result of this, I left most of the food on the plates. The thick chips,sour dough bread and ice caramel coffee were lovely. Food was expensive.

I chose a beetroot and chilli sandwich with chips, there was no onion marmalade in the sandwich and the chilli was no where to be found. When speaking to the waiter he said that the kitchen staff have done this before and never had any complaints. The carrot and orange cake was so dry that it nearly broke the plate when cutting it, they said sometimes these can become stale when left in the display cabinet. We were offered a refund for the cake, but I can ensure you I wouldn’t go there again.

Lovely food, fresh and piping hot. Plenty of vegan/Veggie choice. Nice cocktails.

This is a lovely place with a nice relaxed and chilled atmosphere. The food is delicious and the cocktails are divine. The staff are welcoming, especially our waitress Christie, who is always extremely helpful and friendly.

Always our first choice go-to bar & restaurant in Tynemouth. We've never had a bad experience or meal here. Coctails are fab. Food choice & quality is phenomenal :) Staff are brilliant!

Great food and service, it's always busy which is a sign that it's a decent place to visit. The recommendations by the staff were spot on, we are going to have to return to try the rest of the menu.

We booked for tapas. Nice place but first mistake was forgotten drink. No apology after having to request it again. We had 2 rounds of tapas and asked for dessert menu at 9pm to be told "no sorry, kitchens closed" we should hve been informed of this beforehand. Left disappointed. Not cheap to eat here and won't be back. Service very poor.

Super welcoming atmosphere. Great varied selection of food on offer. Really helpful staff, particularly Christiana who was very helpful on my visit today. Definitely recommend.

Having visited Allards for coffee since it opened, we have never had a tapas lunch. Fortunately we were allowed to sit in the dining area and not be subjected to the horrible yellow walls of the coffee half. We were greeted by Amy who gave us some guidance about what, and how many tapas to order. She suggested 4 or 5 and 4 turned out to be ample. The drinks came quickly and it was not long before the food arrived. It was hot and tasty and did the job. The choice of deserts is limited, but reasonably priced compared to elsewhere. An altogether satisfactory visit to add to our rota of regular weekly lunchtime outings.

Just wanted to thank the staff for the excellent service clementine was lovely Food is lovely to every time we have been to the tynemouth restraunt is spot on. Thanks Terri scott

Breakfast was luvlee and so was michelle

Absolutely stunning 🤩 Came to Allards for an impromptu birthday meal and although not a first time here, was still surprised and impressed with the warm welcome and service received from all members of staff. A particular server Michelle provided excellent service and conversation over the menu, it is because of Michelle we will be back again very soon to try recommend dishes. Thank you!!

Memories, my husband and I go to Allards tynemouth every week for breakfast, always well presented and well prepared, staff efficient and service good it always amazes us that the staff are always smiling and helpful,but for myself Allards is full of memories, in 1956 I was 15 yrs old and joined the staff of Allards Grocery and provision store to work in the office above the shop, the shop itself was remarkable all fresh food cheese ,butter, bacon, all served they way you wanted , I loved working there, Allards tynemouth today the decor is beautiful, well thought out looks after there customers well a pleasure to go there, I am now 82 yrs of age and very happy to still be going to Allards tynemouth Trish

Fantastic place with lovely staff very friendly people

Tried this place today and wish I hadn’t not cheap by all means and our meals were absolutely shocking!! I got the chicken flatbread and for £13.95 I was expecting the works to be honest, was aware it didn’t come with chips but described it come with lots of salad so thought it would of been full to the brim. What I got looked like leftovers! I was absolutely starving and also left starving my grandparents got the stew with dumplings described as coming with seasonal veg, well if that’s what you call a few chopped up carrots in and the bowl it come in was a tapas dish! Honestly don’t waste your money going here twelve 25 a few doors up blows these out the watch really don’t know how anybody can justify the prices they’re charging for this rubbish!

Beautiful venue, staff were polite and service was efficient. But my Moroccan chicken flatbread was a total disappointment. Not cheap at £13.95. Look at the photo, does not meet the description on the menu at all. Way too much dressing and not much else, still looking for the chicken. 6 of us got this and we all thought the same.same thing, no offer of a complimentary drink despite our complaints

Got classic burger with chips and a hot drink, burger was poor quality meat and lacked seasoning, it was unfortunately pretty tasteless, won't be going back.

We broke down outside Allards Lounge and had to wait for the RAC We went into the bar and they provided hot drinks and biscuits while we waited. All the staff were so lovely and really helpful. We will definitely go back and have a meal next time. Lovely people

The coffee is out of this world smooth and creamy excellent toast fantastic sour dough plenty of jam and butter placed on the quay side loverly location fantastic little find

Havnt had the pleasure of visiting yet.. But properiors josh and family stayed at my Airbnb in Blackpool and left it in clean exceptional condition...and were polite and friendly which obviously reflects in their own business...

Called in for a breakfast. Good variety.

This is the second time we have been for breakfast in recent weeks, the food was tasty and presented well, Michelle was our waitress and her service was perfect with a warm friendly welcome, attention to detail on orders she couldn’t be more helpful. Would 100% recommend breakfast and coffee.

We came to Allard's Lounge while visiting our son at University. Our dog was welcomed and a lovely waitress brought her a bowl of water. Not all the tapas we wanted were available, but everything we did order was fantastic. The tacos were my favourite, my husband loved the squid and my son's favourite was the arancini. Great music too. Highly recommend.

My partner and I met friends in Tynemouth for drinks before visiting Allards on a Sunday evening at 6pm. We had a booking but were told there would be a wait of 30 minutes due to being busy. In the end the wait was over 60 minutes. We were offered a complimentary drink but when the food arrived we were well pleased. There was plenty of choice of tapas. We were very pleased with the result offer menu at £24.95 for 4 tapas and two drinks. We didn’t mind the wait and had a very good evening. Great background music playing. We will be back.

Lunch with the girls for food and wine. Jonathan was absolutly faultless what a waiter. He is an asset to any business xxxxx

Wow! I visited today with my sister-in-law and our babies. At first I was unsure whether we’d be welcome as it looked rather posh and we both had our prams. We were looked after by Michelle and honestly she was amazing! She made us feel...

Fabulous day service by Jonathan was amazing he was so efficient and very friendly food was out of this world . Definitely will be back .

Food gorgeous and the service was excellent. We've been before and will be back. Lovely atmosphere. Served be Michelle and Fay. No photos too busy enjoying x

Didn't get the chance to try the food got into the restaurant at 11.30 to be told it's now the lunch menu sat at the table for 15 minutes to be told nothing could be ordered until 12, better service at better restaurants

First of all, this review is for Allard's in Monkseaton. I've had to put this review under the Tynemouth Allards's, as I couldn't see the Monkseaton one listed on Trip Advisor. The absolute downside to eating here is the extremely LOUD music! We literally couldn't...

Went for breakfast and the food was really nice. Had 4 items with a drink and the price was reasonable as well. Definitely go again.

One of the worst meals I've ever had. Prawn thermador. Plastic prawns on untoastd bread covered in a tasteless sauce. Patatas bravas. Un fried cubes of spud, chewey, almost toffee ish In in texture in the most sickly untomatoey sauce. Vile. Meat paella. Tasted of jazzed up batcheors savory rice. Salt cod balls. OK.

We both ordered croque monseur with truffle chips, which was really tasty and generously portioned. Friendly and attentive service from Jonny made our lunch even more enjoyable.

Great breakfast including porridge pictured.

The majority of the tapas is good. However. The chicken bon bons - I'm not actually sure what they are, they are rock hard balls that taste like old sage stuffing. The menu advertises 'feta and rocket salad' as a side. I ordered this and...

We have had many great times at Allards but this was not one of them. The Lemon Chicken Bon Bons did not taste of anything and looked very lonely in the dish with just 2 of them - for the price I would have expected...

A beautiful bar in the centre of Tynemouth. Easy to access by public transport and public parking available across the road. The staff were brilliant when we visited, couldn't do enough to help us or ensure our stay was comfortable. Disappointed in the food. Allard's used to be my go to place for comfort food. The pricing is reasonable and they run deals through the week for food and drinks. Sadly in recent years the food has just slowly went down hill. They still offer a lot of the same dishes but they're just not what they once were. Twice now I've been and ordered the same dish with dietary requirements and been given it with said food item included. The staff were happy to change this, can't fault it, but it's just really put me off going there in future. Brilliant for drinks, can't fault the place but the food isn't the best Tynemouth has to offer. Dogs are allowed in the main bar but not the restaurant area!

Very hood drop in on spec. Dog welcomed in bar area. Food fair service good

Very good relaxed place for breakfast.

Food was hugely overpriced with different prices for one drink all over the restaurant. More important, after having a salad.I came down with noravirus. Its the only place I'd been so must have been from someone in the kitchen .won't visit again £40 for a,salad a fries with a couple of drinks for a standard place?

Treated my husband to lunch out. We shared 4 tapas - sliders, patatas bravas, salt and chilli chicken and pulled beef tacos. All were delicious. It was quiet on a very wet, miserable winter Tuesday but cosy inside. Staff were nice and service prompt.
