Having visited Graphite about a month ago we were super excited to visit again, oh what a mistake the menu had changed and so had the quality of the food. We were extremely disappointed, I have since found out the previous chefs have left and this is obviously the reason. We would certainly not return.

At the heart of my recent dining experience was an exquisite selection of dishes that left an indelible mark on my palate. The meal commenced with the Chicken Spring Rolls and the Burger. Each bite of the spring rolls was a revelation, featuring the perfect crunch and a filling that was both flavourful and satisfying. The burger, on the other hand, was a masterpiece of culinary craftsmanship, featuring a juicy patty enveloped by a fresh brioche bun, complemented by just the right amount of fries. What elevated the meal further was the exceptional service provided by the knowledgeable ladies who attended to us. They expertly explained each dish, enhancing our dining experience by making it not just about food but also about learning and appreciation. The meal concluded on a high note with the Chocolate Nemesis and Custard Tart. The Chocolate Nemesis was a decadent treat, rich and velvety, while the Custard Tart featured a silky smooth custard encased in a buttery, crisp pastry. Both desserts showcased exquisite craftsmanship and a deep understanding of flavour balance, making them unforgettable. From start to finish, the evening was flawless. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the allure, creating the perfect setting for what was truly a memorable meal. I highly recommend this dining experience to anyone seeking culinary delights without a single fault. The Chicken Spring Rolls and Burger are must-tries, and the desserts a perfect ending to a perfect dining experience.

Today we came to Graphite for work reasons, although it may not seem like it (lol) and we received a 10 out of 10 attention, with excellent service, very delicious food, and customer service that has impressed me a lot and has made me day, and that's coming from someone who's been a waiter for a long time. I am very grateful to the fellow waiter who served my colleague and me, always attentive to us, these types of workers are those who make customers return again and again, keep it because there are few of them. Thank you very much for everything, we will see you soon for sure :)

Food was great, service was very good. Waiting staff were very pleasant.I would go back but my pet hate is when a chef tells you how you should eat something. I wanted venison Med Well and was told the chef will only cook pink. I am a chef myself and cooking med well venison is 5 minutes extra to remove blood without any toughness happening. My 4* is just for the arrogance of the chef.

Lunch on a Saturday. Sat down just after opening. Food was really good, the short rib donut was beautiful. Fishcake was great, a good spiced carrot soup and a spiced riced pudding. Good service and good price. Now it was very popular with families and the amount of young children and babies took the noise level to very high. However the food was so good, that I would revisit even with the playground level of noise from the small people!

Absolutely excellent. We have recently come from Monart in Wexford where they have a Michelin recommended kitchen. The food at Graphite was far superior to this. We got the satay spring rolls, gin cured salmon, braised beef donut, beef tartare and the patron peppers. Cooked perfectly, expertly plated with superb touches such a the salt crystal pile for the patron peppers and daikon/mooli sheets which just added crunch and freshness as well as beautiful presentation. Mains- we got the monkfish and venison. Monkfish was glossy and juicy with wonderful little plump pickled mussels. The venison was cooked pink, soft and succulent with moreish celeriac fondant and a really smooth and creamy celeriac puree. Everything tasted so intense and wonderful. I would really recommend to anyone wanting the best of what Newcastle has to offer. Top class cooking. Please open in Belfast!

Service was fantastic sadly I left hungry despite a price tag of 125LB Dinner for 2: We enjoyed 1 of the two small plates (beef tartare🤤); however, the salmon was a bit bland. Moved onto entrees in which the duck*****and monkfish**** were delicious… added on 3 sides (2 overpriced salads) and delicious carrots/miso/dukkah. For desert we had a delicious almond polenta cake etc. please enjoy if you want to spend a lot of $ Would give <4* but that would be offensive

Started with the ham hock starter and the satay chicken spring rolls - so delicious. Had the roast beef and roast lamb for main course. Both meals were outstanding and couldn't get enough of them. Laoise was a perfect waitress and was very helpful and kind. Sorry - didn't take any pictures as food was too delicious. If you're lucky enough to get the rhubarb dessert you must. I would say that's the best dessert I've ever had. Compliments to the chef and the team.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 James from Manchester.

Simply put the worst sausage roll I have ever had! Very restricted choice of fare, no menu, a very pale shadow of the Picnic of days gone by. We travelled a good distance to visit as we had great memories but sadly we will not be back...
