Cafe Andaluz Newcastle in Newcastle upon Tyne

Lovely meal. We booked a table in advance, 2pm on a Saturday, pleased we did it was very busy. We were taken upstairs where it was really pleasant, very smart with a lovely calm atmosphere. There are great venue of Grey Street in Newcastle and the Theatre Royal. Our garlic bread was literally 2 mins behind the mains and they knocked it off the bill without us asking. Very friendly and attentive service. Definitely go back

The staff are very professional, knowledgeable & helpful. Ajay in particular was fantastic. Food is really tasty & fresh.

Lunchtime this time, very busy again, but again great food, good service from nice staff. Thoroughly recommended again.

Excellent from the minute you walk in, The general manager has really mastered perfection from the service, knowledge, to the presentation and taste. Highly recommend, we will be returning

3rd visit and consistently great food, had better tapas here than some of the places we've been to in Spain. Very friendly service, had a laugh when we couldn't work out how to pronounce one of the tapas and apparently neither could the server, not the end of the world. Would definitely return.

Spanish tapas all dishes served together so some cold when we got to them good place for quick food at weekend

Great food and friendly staff Lovely restaurant

We visited this fantastic restaurant for lunch. We had a variety of excellent Tapas and very good wine. Although not inexpensive I did feel the lunch was good value. Would definitely return next time we are in Newcastle.

Outstanding food and service coupled with in keeping interior decor and a great location - all at Cafe Andaluz in Newcastle. Highly recommended for a high quality taste of Spanish tapas.

Lovely 1st visit & very impressed. Tasty tapas & nice wine . Nice atmosphere & great service & staff lovely too . Beautiful inside . We will be back thank you x

Good for brunch. We had the Spanish breakfast

Pleasant surprise - like being in Andalusia! Fabulous decor, very authentic. Didn’t go the usual English breakfast route (although it is on offer as well as eggs Benedict, smashed avocado on toast etc), but went for Pan Catalan and croquettes- delicious. Husband tried a sausage and bacon sandwich (8/10 would have been a 9/10 but bun was toasted and he doesn’t like it toasted). Staff are very attentive and friendly.

Beautiful decor and amazing service

We loved this tapas restaurant. Central location in Newcastle, friendly, super-efficient staff, delicious food and buzzing atmosphere.

Love the decor - very Moorish Tapas delicious and reasonably priced - very moreish Service excellent with friendly but professional staff

We dined mid-afternoon with some friends. The welcome was warm and courteous, and we were shown quickly to our table. Although the restaurant was very busy, service was good, and all dishes ordered came at the same time which was lovely. The food was very tasty, served hot and portions were just enough for a Tapas. Prices are on a par with any popular city centre restaurant , we found the bill was about right for what we had. All in all a very good dining experience.

High quality food and wine. Friendly staff

Had a great experience for my birthday here with my fiancé and decided to bring my two closest friends today. The service was so slow we ran out of drinks and 20 minutes later we weren’t even offered anything further. Our table was full of empty plates 30 minutes after eating. The one waitress was lovely and she really tried but my friends found it incredibly disappointing.

Great place for food and drink Will be back

Beautiful authentic restaurant. Staff friendly and efficient. Food and coffee absolutely fabulous. I have been here a few times now and the excellent quality of the food and service is consistent.

Fantastic. I have travelled from Washington 3 times now to have lunch there. Never disappoints.

First visit this afternoon to use a Christmas gift voucher. Food was amazing and the staff went above and beyond to make sure my food was safe for me to eat due to my tomatoe allergy. 5* Service. We will be back for another visit soon.

Great restaurant. Dined on a Sunday and made use of their brilliant offer. Excellent food and fast service. Highly recommend

Been here a couple times now. Food always comes quick and is amazingly good, and the portions feel very fair for the price. A wide variety of different dishes, and even options for picky eaters. Only complaint would be the tip that comes added onto the bill, which implies that the staff aren't getting paid as much as they ought to be.

Just called in of chance,got a table food came a little slow as the waitress did point out,Big table in ,Food arrived,squid over cooked ,Beef slices steak cold, and the lamb tagine just warm.other tapas ordered chicken and honey hot, paella, hot too.Been in loads of times had great and hot food .but not this time.Waitress,by the way was great .think the chef needs to be putting hot tapas out .not cold. Sorry.😯very Disapponted.😯

Great food, reasonable prices & excellent customer service front waiting staff especially Lydia who's a credit to the place. Highly recommended for tapas & will certainly return soon

Beautiful Spanish themed restaurant in the heart of Newcastle City Centre

What a gem! Great find, last to leave but staff were wonderful. The building is just gorgeous. Thank you.

First visit and I was impressed. I've had tapas before in Spain and the food here compared favourably. We were a party of 4 and between us we shared several dishes, all of which were fantastic. Two of us shared a bottle of Merlot which was head and shoulders above what we've had elsewhere for more money.

Great atmosphere, great food and service was top notch, young lad called henrik served us and was brilliant. Would recommend the Patatas bravas and the gambas

Best food in town, don't miss it !!

Cacophonous row in every inch meaning you have to shout at each other, stale starter bread (asking for a replacement just got us a funny look), the waiter seemed in the middle of a good book and was bored and unattentive. The food was OK, not good, just passable, with some being so uninspired a child could have done it. A dull and disappointing experience.

Beautiful food and reasonably priced. We had three tapas each and a dessert for £20 each

Great quality and choice of dishes. Always great service from friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Also do lovely breakfasts.

Excellent experience, 5/5. We order off the ALC, some highlights were the anchovies, croquettes, creamy mushrooms and chicken skewers. Also very attentive and friendly service from all staff, thanks so much

Food was overall good. Portion is just enough for one person. The ambience of the place is really relaxing just a place if you're looking to step out after a hectic day. The staff are very warm and helpful.

Fantastic meal, staff were attentive and a great atmosphere.

Great food, and really vibrant atmosphere. The lamb tagine is particularly good. So nice to be able to order several tapas plates and share them. Exactly what we wanted. Desserts were lovely too! (We had the raspberry sorbet and the cheesecake and shared).

Trip to theatre and booked a table at this restaurant. Second time we have been there. Arrived 20 minutes early but that was not a problem, despite it being very busy, and we're seated straight away. Made our order and pretty soon the dishes started to arrive. The food was brilliant. I'd ordered an asparagus with cheese dish (can't recall the name) but it was absolutely superb. All the food was great, and the service very friendly and attentive. There was a very loud group (only two couples but sounded like more, alcohol will do that.) This was managed by aplomb and discretion by the staff. We tried the blue wine, which tasted like wine (!) but was just blue. Deserts were excellent also. Only one concern, the tables (for 2) are a bit small and there was some difficulty getting all the dishes on. Small quibble that does not distract from the brilliant meal. Highly recommend.

Great tapas place to dine in, friendly and great environment

Went last night as part of Newcastle Restaurant week. The atmosphere, staff and food were all amazing A special thank you to our waiter Paul who was friendly, polite and made us feel unrushed and welcome

There is a discount for booking in advance in January. The paella is delicious.

Really enjoyed our Restaurant Week deal here - it was a steal!

When we visited, there was an issue with a broken alarm that made it very noisy. The portions were quite small for the prices, and overall, it wasn’t a pleasant experience for breakfast—it definitely didn’t feel satisfying.

Loved the service and the decor - however food was very mid:(

First rate all-round, love the place

Loved our impromptu visit. Warmly welcomed, great house Rioja, service and food ( Lamb tagine superb). Shellfish intolerance well respected.

Beautiful food, beautiful restaurant with a lovely vibe. Can’t wait to return and try a few more dishes… we ordered a jug of Sangria, which was good too. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Came here for breakfast and was blown away with how amazing the service and the food was.Friendly staff tended to our every need and did not disappoint in the slightest with the coffee or the breakfast. Poached egg with avocado on toast was beautiful with the tastiest sausage and bacon on the side. Would come back here in a heartbeat, a must if you’re in Newcastle.

Nice restaurant where you can eat well, a bit more expensive but it is worth it

We dined for breakfast here and the food and service was bang on. Good tasting food and nice friendly service. I'd suggest adding a sauce on the breakfast I purchased.

We have never been disappointed with the service or the food. I think it's the best tapas in town.

Absolutely cracking eatery. Alongside ten other work associates we chose to have our Xmas scran-up here, several nights prior to the big day. We all opted for the special Festive Menu: bread/olives, three tapas choices and dessert. Our orders were banged out in quick time and barely a crumb was left afterwards. I fired back three of the easy to drink House Lager which kept the brain relatively intact. My spend was about £50 which represented very decent value for money. Service was friendly and efficient and whilst the place wasn't packed, trade was good for a Thursday night.

The visit to the Spanish tapas restaurant was a delightful experience. The interior decor captured the essence of Spain, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The group sampled six tapas dishes along with a shared platter, all of which were well-prepared and flavorful, leaving everyone satisfied. The staff provided attentive and proactive service, ensuring the table was well taken care of throughout the meal. While the pricing was on the higher side, it was justified by the quality of the food and the overall experience. A great spot for authentic Spanish cuisine and a worthwhile indulgence.

We went in to have a typical Spanish coffee with milk, they don't even know what it is and they kicked us out for being Spanish.

Amazing service from both team members Leon and Laura, I know it can be tough dealing with large groups but they did amazing, Leon was so happy to serve us all and went out of his way to ensure we were happy.

This will be my second review as I did as promised and retuned to try the tapas menu. Part of a large group of 20 people out for a Xmas meal. We were seated upstairs which was just perfect, beautifully decorated and much less frantic than the downstairs restaurant and bar. We all had the £29.99 Xmas menu (3 tapas dishes and a desert plus bread and olives). The food was amazing. So tasty and surprisingly filling. There are plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options which kept everyone in our party happy. The waiting staff were excellent, very friendly and kept us right on what we had ordered. They really made the night. Our table was booked for 19:30 and I left at 10’ with some of our party still chatting away. We never felt rushed or on a conveyor belt despite it being a busy Saturday night. Other places could learn from this. Highly recommend and I can’t wait to go back.

The food was exceptional Absolutely loved it

Had a 3 tapas meal for £20. Calamari, meatballs and patatas bravas. Nice food, good service at a very busy time. Would go back.

Quite expensive but great food!

Love this place, food is excellent,

Beautiful restaurant with very good tapas. Well priced with a great pre theatre offer. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great tapas selection and the food was very tasty. We loved the mushroom gratin, chicken with chimichurri sauce and the seafood mix. Would recommend getting 3 dishes per person. Nice setting and prices are decent. The sangria was good too.

First visit great food and service staff so friendly will be going again

Amazing food and Great atmosphere. Already can't wait to go back. The mulled wine was lovely for a Christmas visit.

Lidia served us, we had the 3 tapas lunchtime deal. Atmosphere was good and will definitely be back.

Visited for the first time while Christmas shopping with my adult son. Greeted and sat right away. Food absolutely delicious and generous portions. Staff were attentive and friendly. Will definitely return. The nicest tapas we’ve ever had.

Visitamos el sábado 16 de noviembre que reservamos nuestra mesa para 2 para 5. 30 cuando llegamos era extremadamente ocupado, pero con un ambiente cálido y vibrante Chris a su llegada era maravilloso muy amable nos sentó en nuestra mesa y el personal nos habló a través del menú mi hija pidió un cóctel y yo tenía vino pedimos varios platos todos absolutamente deliciosos el servicio en este momento pico era fantástico Alan y su equipo trabajan muy duro para hacer la visita de todos la mejor experiencia No puedo esperar para volver una y otra vez un ENORME Gracias a Alan y Chris en general tuvimos una gran noche

Absolutely top quality food, service, and atmosphere! Big praise for all of the staff , superb. Highly recommend a visit.

If every restaurant had this service and staff everything would be great. People run like crazy. Very tasty food

The waiting staff were too attentive and didn't seem to be aware we had already ordered, which led to confusion, we had to double check our order was placed. Which it had been, however some of the ingredients were missing from our dish. The manager dealt with the matter very well and checked we were happy with the result. The decor was very appealing. The food was tasty. We called in without a reservation on a Saturday afternoon and found it very busy and noisy but we managed to sit at the bar. Next time I would choose a quieter time so we could sit at a table. The menu was extensive and the staff were helpful.

Lovely pre theatre meal, excellent choice and quick service.

Vine para una comida previa al concierto y fue encantador. Todo estaba muy caliente, rápido y muy sabroso. Ambos pedimos las tres tapas y nos sorprendió lo grandes que eran las porciones. Mi hija luchó por terminar el suyo. El personal era muy atento y el lugar tenía un zumbido encantador al respecto. Sin duda volveré y disfrutar de algunos cócteles como tuve que conducir!

We had the most delicious lunch here with a great selection of food. All the dishes were flavourful and the waiters were attentive and lovely. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also great, however it does get busy so I recommend booking your table. Would definitely recommend.

Superb lunch time menu highly recommend 2 x drinks 6 x tapas all for £56 including discretionary tip which would of paid anyway as service & quality of tapas was very good.Tapas sized portions generous with pleasant surroundings will definitely return. Location all within a couple hundred yards from Metro idea location close to the theatre

Fantastic service, great food (and we probably had over a dozen different dishes across six of us - all delicious), a nice buzz but not madly noisy. 100% recommend Cafe Andaluz for tapas joy.

Nice and vibrant setting, tried their mixita paella 🥘. Very tasteful and fulls easily 2-3 people.

Visitamos para una cena del domingo por la tarde y aprovechamos de las 3 tapas y el postre por £ 23. 95 trato, que es una buena relación calidad-precio. Desafortunadamente, a medida que nuestras bebidas llegaron, el miembro del personal derramó una bebida que mojó 2 / 4 de la fiesta y no ofreció ninguna disculpa real, aparte de movernos a una nueva mesa seca y reemplazar la bebida que se derramó - que no era ideal, dado que teníamos planes en Newcastle después de la comida. La comida era buena, especialmente las patatas gratinadas, las gambas rebozadas y el pollo rebozado con miel. La única excepción fue la pichana a la parilla, las tiras de 'steak' eran pequeñas, masticables y tan buenas como frías y deben ser la peor relación calidad-precio en el menú a £ 11. 95 o un suplemento de £ 3 en la oferta del domingo.

Absolutamente increíble comida y encantador restaurante a un precio razonable y recomiendo encarecidamente. Gran saludo a Grace que fue fantástico

Laura and team are the best!! We love it here and food always good!! Thank you!!

Absolutely outstanding! The food was phenomenal, and the customer service was second to none. What an amazing culinary experience. Fantastic atmosphere. If you're in Newcastle, this is an absolute "must" to visit. Loved it!

Great little find in the centre of Newcastle, very authentic feeling Spanish resturant with a warm atmosphere, tapas was very nice , all fresh tasting and served with a smile! You won't be dissoppointed!

all paella were not gluten-free. No gf toast for starters.

Ordered a selection of tapas via Deliveroo. Receipt showed time order left the cafe but didn’t get to us for another 35-40 minutes. Sat down to a selection of warm tapas which was upsetting as never eaten with Cafe Andaluz. This was to try food before booking table in restaurant but now disheartened. Very disappointing and in my opinion orders should not be delivered by electric bike. I’m sure it’s not the restaurants fault but they should be aware of how their food is delivered.

Great cafe/restaurant. Spanish Tapas- fab choice. Quality of food amazing. Decor and atmosphere is also great. Will definitely return.

Loved our tapas here, staff great and good views from upstairs window seating

Always good food, fast & friendly service and a great atmosphere

Well worth spending your coin here. A great range of tapas, not too little, not too much and caters for non-carnivores. Desserts were also lovely, especially the brulé and sticky toffee puddings. Soz, no pictures as I was eager to get stuck in which says it all really

Lovely food and service.popped in for eats before home.decor lovely ,and tapas tasty and well presented. It was a really enjoyable afternoon.

Great food and amazing service despite the restaurant being very busy! We would definitely come back before a concert/show again

Too crowded, not enough space between tables. When the pushy waitress tried to up sell the bottle of wine I had chosen to a similar bottle £8 more expensive the die was cast. Food ok. Nothing bad, nothing great. No reason to return. There are other establishments in Newcastle that offer better food and genuinely nice service for less money.

The wet product is particularly delicious, 1️⃣ squatting for meals and drinking 3️⃣ water, the elixir is delicious.

I’ve been here a few times now and it never disappoints- great food and service :)

Nice selection of tapas. Good cocktails.

Brilliant place ! Food & drinks were amazing!

Best Tapas by far in town now. Every dish was so delicious. Good service too and reasonably price. Definitely going back. The lamb is a must!!!!

Excellent food. Friendly service.

We had a booking for 10 on a busy Saturday lunchtime. Once ordered, the food arrived quickly. The tapas portions were a good size and were very filling (we had 5 dishes between 2 people). I had the Calamari which was cooked perfectly and the Baked Mushrooms which was absolutely gorgeous! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and the service from staff was great.

Lovely Tapas, will go again next time we're in Newcastle. Goats Cheese, Andaluz salad, meat balls, battered chicken and calamari we're all great. Everything we had was lovely.
