Fuego Mediterranean Wine Bar and Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

This restaurant was recommended to us by many friends who said it was wonderful so we decided to go for a birthday treat and we were not disappointed. Because it was a special occasion we were given a lovely table in a nice and quiet part of the restaurant. It was very busy but the service was amazing, the staff were lovely , friendly and very professional. The food , we tried lots of Tapas dishes and they were simply fabulous. This is an amazing restaurant and we will certainly be visiting again

Stumbled upon this restaurant when looking for lunch in town. Food was absolutely amazing and service was excellent. Highly recommend

Regularly visit Fuego as they serve honestly the best pizzas I’ve had in my life, especially pollo! All alternative food and drink we’ve had are outstanding and for a restaurant to keep this up on a regular basis is impressive. Food and most drinks are very well priced for their quality and the atmosphere is relaxing and friendly. Staff are more than happy to help and always go out of their way to make the experience special every time. For example, Jackie on our last visit was very sociable and offered my sibling a complimentary glass of Prosecco to celebrate her special occasion. It really is a hidden gem tucked in the back of Fenwick Foodhall but definitely somewhere you need to try.

Lovely atmosphere and great cocktails. We had a lovely break from shopping with a chilled Aperol Spritz (recommended) and some tapas. Perfect break and can't wait to do it again (including gf toast for me!). Staff were very attentive and helpful.

Great tapas. Very authentic. Lovely service from both waitresses. My only complaint is lack of white Spanish wines on the menu as there are obviously so many excellent ones that would pair perfectly with tapas.

A favourite haunt but a disappointing visit this time. They forgot one order then, when questioned, said all food was prepared fresh so there would be waiting times. This would be right except the forgotten dish was a cold Mediterranean platter and the rest of us had hot food. We’d finished our meals by the time the platter arrived. The lovely Maitre ‘d asked if everything was ok, so we were honest about our disappointment and she apologised and offered us free desserts. Good customer service, except when the bill arrived she’d only given 2 out of 6 free desserts and taken the platter off the bill. Most of us wouldn’t have bothered with desserts until they’d been offered as a goodwill gesture. So, disappointing l, especially as I had family up from London and told them this was going to be a real treat.

I always enjoy my visits here and the Prosecco is lovely. The place is amazingly clean and good service is always provided.

I visited Fuegos with family and it was my first experience of tapas, it certainly won’t be my last, it was absolutely delicious. The king prawns were my favourite but I tried lots off the menu and they were all so nice. The belly pork was melt in your mouth and the sea bass was the best I have tasted. The service was amazing. The food was quick to arrive and all the staff were very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended. ,

We love this place and as it was included in the Newcastle January restaurant week it would have been rude not to visit with friends. After being shown to the table the drinks order was taken quickly by a very attentive waiter who was able to answer questions we had about some of the dishes on the special menu. The drinks arrived promptly and the food order taken. My wife and one of our friends had pizza and both of them said they were amazing and my wife felt the portion size was very generous. Our other friend and I had the 3 tapas. I had a lamb dish in a very fine pastry which was really tasty as was the seabass and you can't go wrong with Potato's Bravas. A really great meal on a Friday afternoon and got the weekend off to a great start.

Nice varied menu, charcuterie board was a highlight. All very good quality food and attentive service in a nice setting. Will be back again

4 of us booked a table for 28th December and had a lovely time which was made brilliant by the excellent service from Jacqui (not sure about the spelling). We had stayed at our table for 2 hours and because they had another booking she asked if we would mind moving to a different seat and she was lovely about it. Food was very tasty as was the wine but maybe a little expensive but the atmosphere in the restaurant makes it worth it. Ian

Impromptu lunch whilst shopping in Newcastle. Tapas style and really tasty. Crab Tortilla with a very refreshing courgette &apple salad and calamari with spicy broccoli stems. Fresh bread tin too. Friendly staff as well. Sit at the bar if you can.

Book as it's very popular Been twice now - both times spot on Food and service is worth experiencing It's very much a tapas experience- try a sharer board

Went to Fuego because we couldn’t get into Pani’s. The atmosphere is good. The food was good, Anett’s service was great. It’s not cheap but it is good. Shuts at 7 so last admissions are around 6pm

Staff are friendly and welcoming, food recommendations were excellent and the atmosphere is lovely. we had the sharing platter and the broccoli salad which i’ve tried to recreate at home and sadly failed. definitely worth a visit even if you visit just for this even if you aren’t going to fenwicks

Booked here for a quick pre theatre meal. The tapas menu suited nicely. Food arrived when ready and was uniformly excellent! We thought that the service was attentive and thoughtful. An interesting drinks offering too: flight of sparkling wines, anyone?

Came here as a party of 5 for a business lunch. Service was discrete and efficient, food was very tasty, all in a bustling restaurant next to a shopping area. Would visit again.

I’m not one to be caught by pretentious hype, but thought I’d see what the fuss is about. Ate 5 tapas dishes, which were just minuscule potions. Ended up having time get a pizza to share afterwards as we were starving. Food we had was...

Superb once again. We always feel very welcome here and the food is fabulous. Gorgeous menu with lots to choose from. Our favourite in Newcastle.

We ate here a couple of weeks ago at lunch time the food was lovely BUT we felt very pressured to finish and go. We went just as they had opened and I would say the whole time we were there maybe 4 tables were...

Perfect lunch spot when shopping in town. Service great, food faultless and lovely atmosphere. A little pricey for lunch but quality of food worth it. My favourite tapas dishes are the courgette and apple salad, meatballs, ham croquettes and the pork belly pinxos. Totally recommend...

Good quality food and friendly service. We booked a table as it was a Saturday but I think you may be able to walk in at less busy times. I had pizza which was lovely and my husband had 3 tapas dishes which were lovely...

Amazing food and wine, the pizzas are incredible as were all the tapas items we tried. Visited here originally in December while on a weekend break from Scotland and it was top of our list when we came back this past weekend. Service attentive and...

I am a regular visitor to this bar when in the city. I usually have a glass of wine before heading home. Today at 1545 I visited and was instantly made to feel unwelcome by a male member of staff I haven’t met before. He...

Great service, good wines and the most perfect tapas. The best I’ve had outside Spain. Can’t wait to come back.

This is about my 4th visit and I have never been disappointed. 7 ladies celebrated a retirement with lunch. Very courteous staff, and patient given the chatter! All the tapas choices were excellent, the food was presented well and tasted wonderful. Didn't feel rushed at...

When a colleague recommended this I was sceptical as it’s located in a food hall, but it was fabulous. Great server and great food. Sit at the high benches for a decadent lunch with a glass of chilled rose, not to be missed.

10/10 - this restaurant is the perfect venue for a tasty and interesting meal! Service is excellent, food stunning and all wrapped up in pleasant surroundings. Tapas - superb!! Give it a try!

The good thing about this place is that they make good service, great food and a nice atmosphere all seem so effortless. Yet many other venues struggle to get even one of those aspects correct. So, we had a sharing platter, Visually very impressive but...

My husband and I visited Fuego with the intention of having one drink. We were served by the lovely Jamie, who was just a lovely soul. Resulted in us staying for a few more drinks. The service provided by Jamie was warm and genuine. An...

Had a lovely meal and wine here on a recent visit to Newcastle. Great pizza and tapas, and the service was brilliant too. Highly recommend.

Such fabulous food, fresh, amazing quality and the waiter was so attentive and helpful. Children’s menu was such good value. Fantastic Christmas treat!

What a lovely experience from start to finish. Our first visit for lunch with a friend after hearing many good reports. Delicious food, loved the tapas style dishes. Despite some of smaller sizes of the dishes, most were very filling and we feel we ordered...

Delicious tapas, fab watermelon cocktail but also excellent service. I had stated when booking that it was my Mum’s birthday but sadly that wasn’t acknowledged. We still enjoyed our lunch.

Cannot applaud our lunch experience highly enough. A really classy and cool atmosphere. Superb attentive and efficient service. A menu to die for. Particularly good for vegetarians. Tapas dishes were to die for. Lovely drinks too. A real treat in this fantastic store.

I have been here a couple of times, and recently went for lunch with my friend in the middle of a day out shopping. The meals are a Spanish tapas style, which is a lovely change so we ordered a few different dishes to share....

Had an excellent graduation celebration here, delicious tapas, wonderful service, buzzing atmosphere… would certainly come again when in Newcastle! Thankyou

Great fresh food, tapas and Mediterranean based cuisine that really gives some good flavours and cocktails and drinks are lovely always go if I want tapas

Didn’t know quite what to expect after having returned cautiously to dining out with trepidation after a year of lockdown and returning to the north east to live after 20 years away. I can honestly say this is one of the nicest pizzas we’ve experienced...

Delightful venue, slap bang in the middle of Fenwick food court. Amazing choice of food, cooked to perfection. Some of the best cocktails I have tasted, served by some magnificent staff. A perfect place to have a break from shopping, without a doubt a place...

After a pretty tough day ( I know, I know it’s all relative ) Fred and I decided we needed something to eat at tea time. Fred suggested Fuego situated at the back of Fenwicks food hall. It’s the first time in my life I’ve...

Pre pandemic we visited this place quite regularly and loved it. So as soon as it opened we booked for a meal with a couple of friends. We certainly were not disappointed. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The service was spot on and the...

Sensational! Throughout lockdown we have had so many takeouts however this one stands out a mile. Service exceptional, food amazing and they even threw in a free cake for my wife’s birthday which was a lovely touch. Thanks Fuego Fenwicks @ Newcastle, see you next...

Recently went for a meal with my wife before going to see Tenet at the cinema. First shared meal we each ordered was not to our satisfaction (a first there) but staff noticed our grimaces. Then offered each of us an alternative which was gratefully...

I am not one to gush about service, as I think we all hope and expect friendly staff and nice food when we go out, which sadly is not always the case. However on a visit to Fuego inside Fenwick Newcastle on Bank Holiday Monday...

Siempre un lugar agradable para cenar.A menudo paso a tomar una copa y picar algo en el bar y, de vez en cuando, para comer.El servicio es siempre amable, aunque todavía siento que es un poco aleatorio, la primera bebida llegó muy rápido, la segunda pareció olvidarse, no es un gran problema tener que recordarles, pero es la diferencia de bueno a muy bueno.Servicio de comida comida similar pero muy buena, siempre se ve y sabe muy bien.

Pedimos la opción Fuego at Home durante el cierre para celebrar mi cumpleaños. Optamos por el menú de tapas vegetarianas y agregamos algunas guarniciones adicionales. El pedido y la recogida fueron organizados y sencillos. La comida venía muy bien empaquetada y etiquetada. Fue absolutamente delicioso y lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

El único problema con este lugar es que no puedo reservar de lunes a viernes en agosto.¡Tan popular es este lugar que todo el mundo se muere por aprovechar la oferta de agosto y yo no puedo!Un poco más caro que los bares de tapas normales y a menudo se quedan sin cosas, pero vale la pena el dinero extra.Las croquetas de cangrejo son para morirse y, lamentablemente, esto es algo que a menudo se les acaba.A pesar de no poder reservar durante la oferta, iré más tarde esta semana y visité el viernes pasado.

Qué gran lugar para comer. Me las arreglé para adelantarme a la multitud y reservar una mesa para 5 el martes pasado, lo que significaba que podíamos aprovechar el programa Eat out to Help Out. Pasamos una tarde fabulosa. El servicio fue impecable de principio a fin y la comida fue aún mejor. Pedimos una variedad de tapas, además de una pizza margherita y masa madre de queso con ajo, demasiado (¡pensamos!) Para un almuerzo tardío. ¡Basta decir que no quedaba ni un trozo cuando terminamos! Absolutamente delicioso, todo. Destacan el brócoli carbonizado, la ensalada de guisantes, panceta y manchego y las gambas al ajillo. En realidad, todo era precioso, incluido el vino tinto a una temperatura ambiente perfecta.Fuego irradia un ambiente vibrante pero relajado con excelente comida y bebidas. ¿Hazte un favor y no te lo pierdas?Cajón de arriba

Hice varias visitas a fuego, sigue volviendo por más. Excelentes tapas y bebidas mediterráneas, el menú se mejora regularmente y siempre da la bienvenida a nuevos gustos en el menú. Perfecto para grupos grandes ya que los platos pequeños están pensados para compartir. El personal siempre es amable y atento. Se recomienda reservar ya que es muy popular

Tuvimos una muy cálida bienvenida después del encierro. Las mesas estaban bien espaciadas, se ofreció desinfectante. Hay un menú limitado pero con una buena selección de pizzas y tapas.Elegimos la cesta de pan y 3 tapas. Las patatas bravas venían en una sabrosa salsa de tomate, el brócoli estaba carbonizado y venía con salsa y nueces, también tuvimos una ensalada de manzana y calabacín con queso de cabra. Todo fue muy satisfactorio. El vino por copa era una opción de tinto, blanco o rosado, teníamos el tinto.El personal fue muy amable y profesional.

We were looking for somewhere new to try so we gave this place a shot. Really great place with very friendly staff! We had some tapas to share... Prawns, Rump steak and Potatos all very delicious especially the prawns. We also had a pizza to share, lovely crisp base just how I like it with quality toppings. My favourite part was the desserts... Churros and Portugese Custard Tarte, wow! Amazing. Will definitely be back for more!

The other half quickly jumped into this restaurant before I had a chance to blink. Lunchtime today so it was quite busy. Table for two and the staff very fantastic. A great team effort and happy smiling crew. We were served by a young Spanish lady and she explained everything on the menu. It needed to be explained . Food and drinks were served within 5/10 minutes and the portions were perfectly proportioned. Calamari a la Plancha was so tasty. Chickory salad.Fritto Misto. Patatas Bravas. A lovely change without leaving the country.

Why go to Fortnum and Mason in London when you can go to Fuego? Great staff, excellent food (I had a thin crust ‘blonde’ pizza) and a good range of quality wines by the glass.

Regular customer - like the food tho a tad pricey. Bright & buzzy. The bar is a source of routine annoyance however - for me and other customers I see having the same problem. It’s a bar and there is a by-the-glass wine chiller to use too. However you cannot take a seat at the bar without permission because they are being reserved for people who want to eat. The restaurant is practically empty but bookings being taken to eat at the bar. Raising this with staff got a haughty response. Every risk of Fuego getting too big for its boots.

My two friends and I had lunch at Fuego inside Fenwick last Thursday. We were seated on the high stools at the bar. It was only noon so quiet. We paid £10 corkage so we could chose a bottle of wine to drink from the wine dept. next to it as this is much better value and a lot more choice. We ordered garlic sour dough which at £7 was reasonably priced. We also ordered a small charcuterie board and a small cheese board both at £9. The charcuterie board was ok but we were very disappointed with the cheese. The portions were tiny. The cheese that was sliced was so thin it was transparent. There was a bit of very hard salty cheese which was difficult to cut. We did mention our disappointment to the server about the cost/portion size and said it was because all of the cheeses were expensive. We suggested they server lower cost cheese and give a bit more cheese! The crab croquettes were tasty but tiny and overpriced at £8.50. Then a 10% service charge is added automatically to the bill which we find annoying. We are still deciding if we would go back to Fuego as we felt a bit ripped off with prices compared to the portion sizes.

Have had lunch here several times and always enjoyed the experience, nice atmosphere,quality food, good service and always looked forward to a return visit.Never a reason to moan until yesterday. I love crab so ordered croquettes, three arrived smaller than golf balls for £9 ( that’s £3 each) absolutely tasteless!! I did ask if they were “ bought” in but was assured made on premises,mmmm. My advice don’t waste your money on this dish.

Nice staff and good food.. Its just a shame it does not stay open after Fenwick closes and as such it felt rushed...

Every Thursday when I am at home we visit Fuego for lunch, a bottle of Prosecco and some tapas sets us up for an afternoon of shopping then a visit to a couple of bars and evening meal.The food at Fuego is always excellent and the menus do vary, the staff are attentive without being in your face. We always have a great experience here and will continue using Fuego for as long as their standards remain high.

A lovely meal here was enjoyed by all. As usual the service was excellent. We all had pizzas and cocktails which were delicious

Started our Christmas shopping at the end of November, and decided to stop off at Fuego in Fenwicks. We had eaten here before, and always found it extremely tasty. We both started with the King Prawn Pinxos and then shared a vegetable board. We shared a churros, all washed down with a glass of merlot each and finished with a Latte and a cappuccino. My bill came to £49.60 + a service charge of £4.96. which I was assured went to the staff. The food was very tasty and fresh. I have to say the ambience and atmosphere was superb, even at 7.00pm . The staff were efficient and friendly, and all in all the restaurant is a lovely place to dine.

Located within the food hall in Fenwicks dept store .We often pop in here after our shopping spree ,such a good atmosphere and it’s so popular,couple of times we’ve had to wait a little while to get a seat .But that’s ok.We normally have a couple of drinks sitting at the bar area and maybe some olives and bread hummus if we fancy a snackthey have a good choice if you just fancy a snack ,also there is a seating area to enjoy a full meal ,once again very good choice and really nicely cooked food .Staff are great ,so friendly and very attentive,they look after the customers so well.

Food is always consistent and high quality. Great atmosphere and they cater well for kids. Can’t wait to return!

On the day me and my friend visited, Fenwicks had some massive sale going on and the store was very busy as was the restaurant so it was vibrant (I.e. noisy) Nevertheless the staff were reasonably attentive and the food was perfectly fine. So pleased the table was reserved in advance though...

Lovely bustling atmosphere and a great place for a catch up with friends. Lovely cocktails and tapas. Service was a little slow but was simply down to the fact the staff were rushed off their feet.

A pre-show meal without booking was dealt with by the maitre 'd very professionally. The merlot was a lovely glass of wine to mull over the menu. For the first time, I had a Pizza Blanca (made with bechamel sauce instead of tomate base) and I'm a convert - it was so tasty (Pizza Tonno).

Its a typical in house cafe, the tables are very close, you have little choice but to overhear conversations from ghose sitting either side. The Grand sharing board in nice enough, mix of meats, a couple of cheese and a few pickled veg. You need to order bread as and extra. At £21.00 it is not the best value. They also bang on an extra 10% service charge. You don't get outstanding service to warrant the charge. We'll not be rushing back...

We've been eating in Fuego now since it opened, however ashamed to say we've never tried their pizzas! Until recently... now it's our go-to-place for a good pizza (especially the bianco pizzas with béchamel sauce) that are so tasty with fresh & unusual ingredients. Try the mushroom with truffle oil, or tuna with manchego and black olives - you won't be disappointed. Great service from the staff and excellent wine choices.

We never realised how amazing the food court within Fenwick’s is! We found this lovely little tapas restaurant, it had a homely feel, with pleasant waiting staff, the menu had a good range to choose from! It was delicious food, served in a good time frame. Would definitely return!

Lovely place for a relaxed lunch of tapas and a glass of wine. All the dishes we had were beautifully cooked and the staff helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend.

Whether it be a weekday, early evening or weekend this place is always thriving with a great atmosphere and menu.

The food hall in Fenwick’s has been an excellent addition to Newcastle food scene.

Busy busy busy but was found seating by unfazed and pleasant Maitre D. Good attentive service by waiter with superb roasted Cod and chickpeas and prawn Spanish omelette. Lovely bread and charcuterie starter. Worth the money and will return soon.

Visited many times and always had a super lunch. Continually change the tapas menu and the sharing platters with a bread basket excellent. Good choice of wines. Although in Fenwicks food department it goes not feel as if you are in a store and has a great atmosphere.

Stopped for lunch after shopping. Sat at bar and all staff friendly and knowledgeable. Ordered tapas and pizza and was plenty. Good selection on drinks and very reasonable

Regularly dine here with my four-year old child.

Absolutely fabulous, as always! We opted for a selection of tapas and a pizza....all were delicious. Service was great, organised and friendly!

This place is a favourite. From the host to the waiting staff, the service is immaculate. The food is always first class and the cocktails are strong!! We are making it an annual date. Went last night and the bill was £130 for three of us, which included six passion fruit cocktails. Well worth a visit but BOOK!

Popped in here having an hour to spare while in Newcastle. Was not expecting it to be so good!

Visited on Restaurant Week and really enjoyed the food and service. Nice chic atmosphere too.

Really chilled place to go and enjoy pizza or tapas style food. I do think certain tapas food items are better than others but overall very good!

Girls shopping trip started here with a glass of prosecco and some vegetarian small plates. Great selection, fabulous and friendly service, a great way to begin an afternoon of shopping.

Surprised to find this gem in Fenwicks department store Newcastle last weekend. We felt like we were back in selfridges in London. Superb quality tapas and wine and the place had a great vibe. Great place to spend a couple of hours.

Place is usually very busy so called in slightly earlier for lunch , so no problem getting a table . Staff have good knowledge of dishes and provided suggestions. Ordered sharing platter , chicken on hummus and meatballs with a selection of breads , flavours were amazing. Lovely place and fantastic food . Would definitely recommend.

Family visit to the university open day and a quick tour around town. Picked this out purely by chance from trip adviser

Want to feel like you are on holiday then call for a great experience eating authentic pizza or tapas and sipping Prosecco right in the middle of Fenwicks Department Store - our go to place for something special when we are shopped out - in fact I would go as a destination never mind the shopping! Not cheap but very tasty

Visited here for lunch on bank holiday Monday. It was very busy but we only had a short wait before being seated. I have to commend Stef (manageress) on her customer service. We got chatting about how long we have been married- more years than I care to remember- next thing Stef appears with a candle to make our lunch more special. We opted for Pizza and both were excellent and they also have a good selection of wine by the glass. It was though the customer service and attention that made the difference. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

We visited on a Friday afternoon. Restaurant pretty busy but luckily a table was free. Mostly Tapas which, although we hadn't sought out a tapas bar fitted the bill unbelievably well. We chose 6 plates, the ubiquitos patatas bravas, a broad bean hummus, crab balls, meatballs sardines and a lovely broccoli salady dish with Morrocan inspired dressing. Bottle of spanish white wine. No puuding as we were absolutely stuffed.

Well greeted and served, excellent gambas, steak and charred broccoli tapas. Pizzas good but a little wet? Need more oven time? Only let down..they’d run out of lamb chops- basic error especially when there’s a butcher 30 ft away. Overall good experience, house Rosé was cracking.

We enjoyed a scrumptious sharing platter with meat, cheese and veggies. The bread was a perfect accompaniment and we drank much needed coffee! The produce is well prepared but it’s quality is second to none, which means it can be enjoyed in its simplicity with great flavour. We’ll be back! Thank you

Great for meals. I love it in here. There isn't a bad dish on the menu. Pizzas are outstanding. Try the "Pino" Some great tapas on offer too. Pork belly is succulent. Service is spot on. You cannot go wrong.

We first visited Fuego during restaurant week in Jan, I’ll be honest the food we chose wasn’t to our liking. There was an elderly couple sat next to us, whose food looked amazing...it’s always the case, but it spurred us on for a revisit.

Visited here on Saturday , we arrived around 12.30 and the place was buzzing with people queuing for a table.

I’ve been here so many times and honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a bad meal, recommend the grand sharing platter , padron peppers, mozzarella sour dough garlic bread ...great drinks menu, very reasonable prices and kids love the food too. Staff are so lovely and great with the children. This place is such an asset to fenwick department store.

this is the first time we have visited Fuego, but no doubt we will be back. We had finished our Sunday shopping and decided to give the restaurant a try. We both had a large house rose' to start, and it £5 per glass was exceptionally good value. We then ordered housebaked bread, and a shared vegetable board, both delicious. We finished with a coffee each and our bill including the wine came to £37.51. and we thought it was well worth it. The staff were efficient, and friendly, the restaurant had a nice lunch time ambience. All in all a good experience.

Ate here whilst visiting Newcastle, I had researched restaurants before I had arrived and I had booked here before we left for Newcastle.

One of my favourite places for lunch in Newcastle. The food is consistently of high quality, and the menu changes often enough not to get boring. Portions are usually (though not always) reasonably generous, and the staff are friendly.

We went for lunch and from arrival to leaving the service was excellent. Was great to be able to buy wine by the glass of better wines. We had the grand platter to share the salad with truffle dressing was a revelation. We also had a pizza with a few tapas all excellent. We will definitely come back.

We had an impromptu lunch at Fuego last Sunday. We had not booked so waited perhaps 10 mins for a table.

Great lunch on a snowy Friday afternoon. My partner and I shared a ricotta and onion rosso pizza and a large vegetarian sharing platter ( delicious) this was accompanied by an Italian Montepulciano wine and ended with the sharing of a tiramisu ( due to running out of Portuguese tart) and coffee. Our friend tried the chorizo pizza and creme brûlée. We all agreed it was a pleasant relaxing triumph.
