Hibou Blanc in Newcastle upon Tyne

Such a lovely bar made extra special by the staff who are first class. I've had a few old Fashioned's here at different times, usually made by a lad called Calvin I think. Always made to the same great standard. Best in Newcastle for me.

Lovely place tucked away, great bar and separate restaurant, had the 2 course Sunday lunch was perfect!

My wife and I made a reservation here after hearing a lot of good reviews. It was early on a Saturday evening. Hibou Blanc is divided into two separate parts - the larger area being the bar, which was heaving, even at this early hour. The restaurant is a smaller area, a little apart from the clamour of the bar. The lighting in both parts is low but the tables in the restaurant have atmospheric downlighting and the whole place has a private club style to it, with comfortable seating at the tables and Chesterfield couches in the bar. The atmosphere is therefore pleasant but there is noise from the bar and lots of hubbub from the neighbouring tables. The service was excellent. Several staff attended our table and answered questions about the food and drinks. Empty plates were quickly replaced with full ones and the staff were quick to offer help. Max was mostly at our table and he was great. The food is on the pricey end of the spectrum and we had a little of a mixed bag, though mostly good. The dishes are all well presented. My mackerel arriving in an enjoyable sauce and a side of dough bread and my wife's venison terrine looking very appealing. Both dishes were nice. My main was the fish of the day - trout and this is where my only disappointment with Hibou Blanc lies. The portion of trout - not an expensive or rare fish was tiny and the potatoes seemed undercooked to me. Thankfully, my better half had splashed out and ordered the lobster which came with some chips, she shared with me. Her lobster did look and taste very nice though and ther was enough of a portion for her. Enough to pass on some delicious chips to me. She thought the lobster was nice too. The desserts were the most enjoyable course. Though I am not usually one to eat dessert, the dark chocolate mousse with cherries and cream was delicious. My wife ordered the Almond Financier - which to our surprise and relief had nothing to do with spreadsheets or large financial operations. Both were very enjoyable.. One other thing that was great was the cocktails. We had 'Old Fashioned's - a very tasty blend of orange and Maker's Mark bourbon. Possibly the best version of this, I have ever had. It was slightly cheaper and tastier than the one I had just enjoyed at Mother Mercy's, which we had been to previous to this. We had a caraffe of Sauvignon Blanc and the final bill added to around £75 each with an automatically added service gratuity.

Great Sunday lunch, excellent quality but most of all the excellent customer service skills and hospitality from Matt thanks

Cant comment on food but drinks are great . The place has a great vibe and plays some great tunes.

Great atmosphere, great food PLUS dog friendly 👍

I recently dined at Hiblou Blanc and overall it was a really nice experience. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. That said, I was disappointed with a communication issue. I had specifically signed up for the steak night and informed all my guests about the offer. Two days before our reservation I found out that steak night had been moved from Thursday to Wednesday and no one informed me. As soon as I noticed the change, I called the restaurant. The waiter I spoke with said he would talk to the head chef and that it shouldn’t be a problem to match the original offer. He promised to call me back the next day. However, no one contacted me, so I called again. This time a different waiter answered and while I was on the phone, he spoke to the head chef. All I could hear was "no" from the chef and I was told they couldn’t do anything about the change. I’m currently 8 months pregnant so I didn’t want the stress of cancelling last minute and finding another place so I decided to keep the Thursday booking. This was quite frustrating as I feel they should have honoured the offer for tables that were specifically booked for steak night. It’s not fair to change an advertised event without notifying customers. We could have made other plans had we known earlier.

We visited on a Sunday for my partners birthday , so we had the the three course Sunday lunch deal, which cost £32, the baked cheese souffle was excellent as were the venison scotch eggs, we then both had the lamb which was cooked to our choice, and it was absolutely delicious, desserts were chocolate brownie, again very good and the strawberries and ice cream, which i chose as I'm not really a dessert person was good but presentation wasn't great for a high end restaurant, after a strawberry spritz cocktail and redbull the bill was around £82. the staff were lovely and very attentive but not intrusive, would return for a special occasion.

Great atmosphere! Great food! Service excellent! Special shout out to Cole, his customer service was exceptional! We will be back!!

Really looking forward to this visit for Sunday lunch. Our first visit, very impressed with the bar area and good service. The restaurant is impressive , service friendly and efficient however the meal was ok but nothing better than you might get in a decent pub. A soufflé starter was tasty but a bit “ stodgy” not light and “ fluffy” as expected. Main meal one beef and one “chewy” lamb for the price a bit disappointing . The sweet was Stilton with a hardnondescript tart with walnut on the top. This restaurant charge a bit of a luxurious price but!!

Paid a return visit to Hibou Blanc today, as it swiftly became my go-to when having a meal in town. Never had a bad course, let alone a bad meal here. The decor and layout are fab, the staff are all brilliant, and the value for money is excellent. We chose from both the set lunch menu and the a la carte today. From the set, we chose Fillet of torched mackerel, Polenta terrine and Knickerbocker glory , while from the a la carte we had english pea and watercress soup, from the steak menu 10oz dry aged ribeye steak, and for dessert blueberry financier. Add a couple of fantastic cocktails, and you have two very satisfied diners! For such a good meal to come in under £90 is pretty good these days. The little touches in the food make it an interesting experience, and everything is perfectly cooked. The range of drinks is really good, too. Our waitress today was Grace, who was an absolute delight. The staff here are all spot on, and Grace was chatty and friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and really added to the visit. All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant, and that's without even touching on the history of the building...!

I thought it was going to be boujee but it was super classy. You could spend a lot of time appreciating the architecture and design at the bar. It’s been fitted out very well. I felt like I was stepping back into the 1920s. The restaurant week menu was great. The salmon, coley and apricot frangipane tart were an absolute bargain at £25. It was all so tasty and you could watch the chefs at work.

Gift voucher ‘treated as cash’ ‘not available on any special days ie Valentine’s Day/ Mother’s Day’. Who knew restaurant week is a special day. I was gifted a voucher from my dad at Xmas, sadly he passed away 7 weeks ago. We went to hibou to use the voucher and also support businesses impacted by protests. The meal was emotional for me given the circumstances. I was restaurant week. A couple sat next to us also have a voucher for more money which they mentioned and the manager said I would suggest you look at a la carte given the value as we don’t carry over any unspent from a voucher which in their case was over £100. On paying the bill we presented the voucher to be told it’s not valid on restaurant week menu and had we told them they would have said we have to eat from a la carte, different to what I overheard being explain to the other couple, not you cannot use it more value wise choose from the other menu. When I asked about exclusions I was told we cannot list every ‘day’ on the voucher. I did get tearful as the voucher/meal was attributed to my father. I explained the reason I was emotional and she said I will check with manager, she returned and manager had said no it cannot be used. I have to say this experience has tarnish my experience and the thought of going for a meal and using the voucher. The manager did not come over to speak to us, very disappointed. Be very careful if buying vouchers as clearly there are various caveats despite the voucher ‘ to be treated as cash’

I called in with my Fiancée and Mini-Daschund while on a walk— it’s great it’s so dog-friendly! We were warmly greeted by Michael (security) on arrival, and also by staff as we were seated. The place is beautiful, and had a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with good background music. We were looking to try something new and were expertly advised by the team (Cole and Calvin), who were happy to take the time to make sure we found cocktails and bar food to suit our tastes— they didn’t disappoint! What struck us the most was the team-work, enthusiasm and a genuine effort to make sure guests were happy— we made sure we fed this back to Ben (Manager). A fantastic Saturday afternoon— thank you! We’ll be back!

Absolutely fabulous time in hibou. Me and my girlfriend got served by the bartender called Cole. He was absolutely brilliant, and served great drinks. We enjoyed our time and hope to come back soon. The atmosphere was amazing, especially with the music choice.

Beautiful bar with a great atmosphere, only downside was a rude member of staff! We had the pleasure to pay Hibou Blanc a visit on Saturday night, they had a great selection of drinks with the majority of staff being helpful and accommodating. The only let down was a rather rude, young, dark haired gentleman who kept giving my husband back chat, snarky remarks and sarcastic answers. Such a shame as it did put a dampener on our previously pleasant night. Overall, a nice bar to visit if you get the chance but avoid the bloke with a goatee if you can!😂

Visited in a Thursday to celebrate our son’s graduation which coincided with Steak night. Excellent cocktails, fish starters and enjoyed well cooked steaks and some of the best chips we’ve had for a while. Excellent meal and service, thank you

Had an absolutely fabulous meal and the staff and service were both excellent! I also have to mention that the sauvignon blanc was lovely which is a rarity, as most places dont sell a decent one. My only negative point is that people were allowed to smoke just outside the restaurant entrance doors, and the smells of the cigarettes drifted inside (door open, which we did ask to be closed, but for whatever reason was not/could not be done). This was unpleasant for us as non smokers, and did somewhat tarnish the experience. If the smoking issue was addressed I would be giving a full 5 stars.

Just been to this place. What a fabulous venue. Was a bit worried about price before but fantastic venue beautiful staff who know the business and not bad price at all. Class venue get yourself there as soon as you can. Service of the highest order. Well done all.

We booked a table in the bar area we were looked after by Grace who was fantastic she looked after us very well …the Sunday Lunch was very tasty our only negative would be we all ordered lamb and you only got 2 small slices.. the vegetables roasties and Yorkshire pudding delicious 😋 Good atmosphere and good live music ..we will definitely go back

Excellent food and service, the set price menu is great value, nice club type atmosphere and good wine list, the cocktails were great as well.

Amazing food equally amazing staff. Was a pleasure

Come here everytime I go to town, staff are amazing and are on the ball, drinks are all top quality, vibe is brilliant as well with it being so close to the big market you don't get any knackaz In, well maybe the odd knob head but you get them everywhere

Lovely city centre bar. The staff are polite, warm and friendly. It’s a 10 out of 10 from me👍🏻

Went for a birthday celebration for Sunday lunch which was lovely. Service was great really attentive and friendly which makes it worth paying the service charge on the bill. The interior is beautiful quite a oldly vibe but with very obvious modern touches which is so nice to see a restaurant with a little bit of thought into it. The food was delicious!! The cheese soufflé was the best of menu for starters, really flavoursome. We also got the prawn cocktail which was again, tasty but there was more lettuce to prawn ratio. We then all got the Sunday Roast (Beef.) Both way the meat was cooked was perfect and I would 100% recommend getting the vegetable sides especially the cheesy leek and peas!! Large homemade Yorkshire puddings also. Drinks were served quickly and I got a raspberry daiquiri mocktail which isn’t on the menu but costs £6 for reference.

Beautiful Sunday lunch and wonderful customer service from the staff. Food was piping hot when served and the place has a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

A favourite place for the bar and food

We booked for Mother’s Day Sunday lunch. Online Sunday lunch was priced at £28 for two courses, and no mention of a Mother’s Day lunch price. When we arrived at the venue, I was shocked to see a Mother’s Day Sunday lunch price of £35 for two courses. Why is this not made available to see on their website. We booked the Sunday lunch thinking the two courses was £28, not £35. Although the food was good, had I known they had put £7 on a Sunday lunch just for Mother’s Day, and not advertised this online, I would have booked another venue who did not add to the their prices just at the venue

My favourite place for Roast dinner, could not fault it, delicious.

Excellent people - the staff here are the very best.

From the moment we walked in I could tell the service was poor. Stood at the podium waiting to get seated, no eye contact, no good evening how can we help, 3 staff passed us by. Sat at the table asked immediately what we’d like to drink, I asked for a moment, waited 15 mins to be asked again ended up flagging someone down. Clumsy service. Not a single smile from our waitress. The food itself was full of flavour but the presentation was very poor , we had the chateaubriand , supposed to be silver service, that was a joke I think. The interior is dated, terrible table decor and a lovely view of the happy shopper over the road If people aren’t returning here the food isn’t to blame, there was nothing that would make me return, I wonder if Branches in Jesmond could show your staff how it’s done? Might be a good place for your next team building excursion Food establishments have moved on you need to catch up!

Afternoon tea booked. It was excellent. Food was amazing great quality we were very full!! Super friendly staff well trained informed and extremely helpful. They took our coats and umbrellas etc Surroundings are beautiful it’s gorgeous inside very high end. We weren’t counting the cost we were just looking forward to a great day and we had one. The bill was very very worthwhile and great value for our experience - thank you

Superb meal for Christmas with family They really are excellent when it comes to allergies as one of the party is celiac and the looked after us superbly

Fantastic experience at Hibou Blanc! The staff were truly outstanding, providing excellent service. Amy, the manager, stood out with her exceptional kindness. The venue itself is stunning, creating a welcoming atmosphere that enhances the overall experience. I highly recommend this bar.

Booked for a birthday lunch,requested certain drinks for arrival ..they were there along with a birthday card from them to my wife.This set the bar high straight away for us the staff were so attentive the food was absolutely amazing..fillet steak,venison perfect.the atmosphere was really warm and inviting we could of spent all afternoon there.The cocktail bar a menu was a brilliant experience and loved the lay out.thankyou so much we will be back.

Didn't try the food amazing place

Visited the bar and restaurant on many occasions and have always had great food, drinks and service. 👍

Booked through open table. Got covid, couldn't cancel through open table, it said we needed to call up. Called up a number of times nobody answered... Left a voicemail in the end. Answer phone message said to cancel booking via open table which isn't possible. Charged £ 10 pp for the privilege. Classy! Avoid.

Do not go to Hibou Blanc for food as the food was awful 🤮 I ordered Ribeye steak and fries in peppercorn sauce and the whole steak was pure grizzle. 2 course = £27 and 3 courses = £30. When asked how food was I informed waitress that it was inedible so she said she would reduce meal from a 3 course to a 2 course price! and therefore £3 off total!!! Absolutely disgusting compensation! Please see photo and video. Pudding was tasteless apart from jar cherries, had shards of filo pastry instead of honeycomb which looks great but is tasteless and awful texture. Place would be good to have drinks only.

Bar meal,beautiful, cocktails are fab

Absolutely superb meal.Great surroundings very comfortable Attentive unobtrusive staff. Catered superbly for someone who is gluten free, very professional

Took staff for our Christmas night out last night. First time I've been but fantastic open central bar layout which you don't see very often. Beer taps were lower than the bar rather than on top of it to keep the open feel but not sure that really works as the barman was virtually on his knees when pouring pints. Very minor thing but obviously didn't detract from what was a an excellent experience all round. The large bar area was very busy but the service was excellent, with no waiting at all. The atmosphere was vibrant, particularly with it being the Thursday before Christmas. After a few drinks sitting at one of the many high tables we went through to the separate dining area which was also fairly busy. The service in here was also excellent as was the food which surpassed all expectations, from duck leg in lentils to traditional Christmas dinner served in a contemporary style. I've had many twice baked cheese souffles but the one I had last night was fabulous & surpassed them. For my desert I had milk chocolate ganache, which was also excellent. All in all, a fabulous night, excellent food, served by very attentive & organised staff which couldn't be faulted. I will definitely be going back! Merry Christmas everyone!

Outstanding service in beautifully decorated private dining room. The staff here will go out of their way to make sure you’re looked after! The food was excellent, if you’re looking for the premier private dining experience in Newcastle for either business lunches, birthdays or party’s Hibou is the best spot in town.

Love the bar here. Came on a Sunday on the run up to Christmas. They had a live singer on singing all the Christmas classics. The atmosphere was fantastic, really got us into the festive spirit.

There's always a fear when you book even a favourite for a group Christmas meal that a wheel will come off: new chef serves bullet-hard sprouts, thinks creme brulee should really be burnt, presents a symphony in brown over three courses... So our 16-strong party was delighted with our superb three-course Christmas lunch at Hibou Blanc, held at last year's price of £30 (£27 for two courses). We selected our choices in advance but there was no rush to eat and the servings were fresh and hot with not a sprout in sight! Lots of choice - eg. twice baked cheese soufflé, terrine en croute, smoked salmon, mushroom velouté; roast turkey with root veg; hake with a seafood broth, fish cakes, duck; xmas pud through to nectarine sorbet and cheeses (no extra charges). Several said it was the best xmas meal we'd had as a group and are wanting to book for 2024. Service was discreet but friendly.

The restaurant provides a pleasant atmosphere and excellent service. The food is delicious, although the menu selection is a bit limited. The dessert options, however, are a standout with a delightful variety.

Wow! An absolutely beautiful bar/restaurant. Amazing decor and lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Guy playing the piano and singing…. Wonderful! We had three courses plus oysters. The double baked cheese soufflé is to die for…. Mmmmmm! Sunday lunch was gorgeous and meat was tender too. Veggies and potatoes etc really nice. Only let down was the giant Yorkshire pudding which was hard and dry. I absolutely love Yorkshire puddings but that part was a little bit of a let down. Otherwise, gorgeous.

Lovely cosy spot in town. Food is top level and service is impeccable.

Lovely looking pub. But the poor staff were run of their feet. Needed more staff and stock. I'm not in a hurry to go back

Lovely restaurant service first class, food very nice. The only problem is the temperature it was very cold.The heating needs sorting!

Lovely food, great service but the restaurant was freezing. We did get a change of table by a lovely woman, with an electric heater next to the table. But come on sort your heating out

Lovely Sunday lunch in a beautiful building

A celebratory meal, booked for post grad ceremony. Not locals, first visit. Initially booked my son wanted a decent, dog friendly restaurant. In the end, we were dog free and were able to switch from car to restaurant easily. Friendly greeting, lovely surroundings & ambience. Staff were all very nice. Coats taken & hung. Shown to our seats. Water offered and brought. Menu explained. (Surprised to find we had booked on a steak night and all ended up ordering steak). Drinks order taken, took a while to arrive. Food (we only had mains), we all agreed, was beautiful. 5 steaks (ribeye & fillets), with various sides. There were no negatives at all on the food. I’ve marked down 1 point for a number of things: Drinks arrived with one short, it wasn’t missing, just needed to be delivered to the table, but instead of bringing it straight away, our food order was taken (we seemed to have waited quite a while to place that too). Drink was delivered by someone else a few minutes later. Food took an age to arrive. Hubby ordered a 2nd wine, non chilled (erm, last glass poured, new bottle in chiller). We had booked for 6pm, although hubby & 1 were staying over, the others had a 2hr drive home. It took almost the 2 hours just to have drinks & a main. I popped to the loo, decor in keeping with the restaurant, but absolutely freezing! No time for desserts, bill requested. Now, I didn’t book the table and we clearly aren’t regulars, and in part, I will take some blame for lack of observation, however, there was no mention of the service charge (most establishments do draw your attention to it). As a result, not only did I pay the bill, but I also left a cash tip! Again, no “you do know there was a service charge?” Just thanked me 🙈 as I said, I’m the fool, but it’s the little things that stop this from being 5/5

One of the restaurants lesser known as dog friendly! Dogs are welcome in the bar area, and are given water bowls. Great food and prime location 😊😊

Phenomenal. I have zero criticism, everything was perfect from walking through the door. Pricing could be increased and it would still be worth it. Really looking forward to visiting again

I love this place. I don't know why. I just do. I'd move in if they'd let me. I'd be no trouble, just watch the goings on of High Bridge and the Bee Hive. Canny posh.

Sunday afternoon. Drinks only. Never been in before. Not quite sure what I was expecting but it's very nice. Big bar in middle of room. Booths and hight tables. Well posh.

My husband and I visited the restaurant after watching a review on TikTok, I was concerned about some of the negative reviews I had seen on TripAdvisor but I was willing to decide for myself. It vastly surpassed my expectations; from the starters to mains...

It is the first time I have been here, and the food was just OK. I didnt really want to say anything as our waitress was amazing her name is Grace. She came and offered us free desserts, anything we wanted, we ordered creme brulee and chocolate fondant. I must say the creme brulee was the best I have ever had it was amazing. I loved the service so I will be back.

I have visited this restaurant twice recently once for afternoon tea which was on a special offer and again for lunch with friends. The afternoon tea was exceptional better than some of the major hotels in Newcastle and I'd happily have paid full price for...

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch for my mams birthday. Staff were amazing and food was perfect, will be back!

We have attended for many Sunday and week day lunches over past few years. Disappointed today at lack of customer service, no leadership, inexperienced servers. Too many cutbacks. Eg no bread with soup or soufflé unless you want to pay £5 ! Extra. No thank...

Asked to leave our table after 2 hours, they should have told us when we booked. It was our special catch up and we like a leisurely lunch we had no time for coffees and cocktails, they moved us into the bar where we couldnt hear ourselves talk.. Not amused at all !!? Bad service.

Lovely food but overpriced when you don’t get the full fine dining experience that you pay for! The waitress is clearly not happy in her job! Poured the first glass of wine, no taste testing! Then it was put in an ice bucket for us...

Only had drinks this time,but the cocktails were excellent and a charming restaurant and bar with superb service. It is a joy to find somewhere so unique in a very busy noisy area outside. Must go again. Also the food is very well prepared and presented and exceptionally well priced.

We went on Friday night to be shown to our table and told immediately we had 4 and a half minutes to order as last order for food was 9pm. The waitress was very unfriendly, didn't smile at all. We ordered quickly and when she...

Awful service - shown to our table by a very unfriendly un- smiling waitress who told us we had 4 and a half minutes to order, then brought the wine and just proceeded to pour it into the glasses without asking if either of us wanted to try it. She then told us we needed to be finished by 10.30! She literally took plates away as soon as my friend put her cutlery down. Appalling attitude. Food and wine were nice. Music was wrong for the venue. The night was saved by a young waitress called Grace who was lovely, really friendly, offered us more drinks, recommended a couple of other bars to go to afterwards. If Grace had served us all evening we may have had a better impression of the restaurant but as it stands we will not be returning.

The restaurant was so lovely bit dark but gave it a nice romantic feel really good good yes on the expensive side but well worth it staff great

A really delightful place for Sunday lunch. The food was excellent and well presented. The lamb was served as I liked, pink, but there was the option to have it well done. A good selection of vegetables and a huge yorkshire pudding Service was impeccable. I highly recommend it.

Great service!! Great Staff. I could not recommend anywhere else!!! Especially service form Kasia!!

The fish was excellent and the elegant dining room was fantastic.

Fab find. Been raving about it to anyone who would listen. Definitely worth a visit if out in town

A regular visitor to this fabulous restaurant. Great food, Sunday lunch. Great service and clean loo !,

We had a delicious meal! Staff were very attentive, the starter of cheese soufflé was up there with one of the best I’ve had, and this sounds ridiculous but the sour dough bread basket was the best bread I can actually remember eating in my...

Elegant restaurant with great bar. Cocktails were great and food was amazing. Amy made us feel welcome and couldn’t fault the service - all round winner

Our second visit to Hibou Blanc and again a wonderful experience. The food as always delicious and well presented. The staff are all excellent + after our meal we moved on to the excellent bar which has some nice cocktails. A place well worth visiting

Recently visited Hibou Blanc for a celebratory lunch with friends after a decidedly mediocre lunch during the lockdown that discouraged me from returning. I'm glad we did as the French bistro-style food was good and the servers were informed and welcoming. I would now welcome suggestions to return and dine again.

Four of us enjoyed the lunchtime special. Delicious food and great service. Good choices on the menu. And good value. We all had the cheese soufflé starter. Fab. Main course choices and dessert choices also really good.

Second time visiting and they did not let us down. We recalled our first visit being excellent hence booking again and our second visit was even better. Amy and Grace in particular were superb, so friendly and provided excellent service and food. Keep up the...

Aug. 2023 Edit… our first visit was fabulous, our second visit was even better and a shout out to Amy and Grace who both provided excellent service 💕 We visited here for a birthday, a little impromptu and last minute booking. The service, food, cocktail choices all excellent. Well worth visiting and made a birthday that extra bit more special.

I doubt very much you will find a better 3 course lunch in Newcastle for the price. Wine list is decent as well but choice could be slightly better, however, chosen wine was moderately priced and good. Highly recommended and they allow dogs as well.

Had a lovely time at Hibou Blanc for Newcastle Restaurant Week. We ordered: Leeks Vinaigrette (the pickled mustard seeds on top were particularly delightful) Cheese Souffle (light, fluffy and packed with cheddar goodness) Fishcake Pork Shoulder with Caponata and Rainbow Chard (my favourite dish of the evening) Chocolate pound cake (the cherries on top were boozy and fun) Almond Financier with apricots (the pleasant surprise of the evening!) Service was jovial, attentive and speedy and both Ashleigh and I left feeling very satisfied!

An absolute culinary delight, the food tasted sublime and the service was first class.

We have visited this restaurant several times and we always have a lovely experience! Service is attentive, but unobtrusive. Decent wine list. Food - starters and mains are always great, but the last few times we have been the dessert has been a bit of...

A great restaurant and stylish bar, with the entrance tucked away on High Bridge Street. Arriving on a very damp evening, we were delighted to find that the restaurant staff offered to hang our coats - much better than having to hang a soggy garment on the back of your chair and then lean back on it! These little things matter... The restaurant was very busy, but service was still good. The food really was excellent, perfectly cooked and packed full of flavour (read some of my other reviews, you'll find I have no problem calling out restaurants that deliver poor service, food, or both...). If you want a great meal in excellent surroundings, give Hibou Blanc a try...

I booked Hibou Blanc for my daughters graduation for 13 people. This was undoubtedly one of the best places we have been, the food was outstanding as was the room and the setting. The service was fantastic, there was absolutely no negatives at all. Everyone...

Nuostabi vieta, aptarnavimas, viskas labai patiko.

Went to Hibou Blanc today for lunch, and just wow! It was very quiet, fairly standard for a rainy Wednesday, though it filled up before we left. Situated on High Bridge, with an entrance on the Bigg Market, it's central, but not in-your-face. Nice decor...

Great food. I’d recommend the lobster. Amazing service too.

Great meal at Hibou Blanc. I chose from the early bird menu as fancied more on there, nothing to do with the value for money :)…My wife ate from the premium menu … and throw in an oyster side dish as well while you’re at...

My self and my partner Have just had the most wonderful lunch together Fabulous food and excellent service Would highly recommend this restaurant For lunch £28 for 3 most heavenly dishes A real fined for us Thanks Chris webb

Wow, what a spectacular place - the staff, the decor, the unbelievable cocktails and the exquisite food! There aren't enough amazing describing words available to help me put into words the experience that is HIBOU BLANC! We have now ate here numerous times, lunch, dinner,...

Ambiance of restaurant totally spoilt as it was used as a thoroughfare to the toilets by people in the Bigg Market. Service and food decidedly average. First and final visit unfortunately

My favourite cocktails in Newcastle! Service is always impeccable, decor out of this world and the outside terrace in summer is a winner! Enjoyed gorgeous food in the sun!

My daughter took me for my xxth birthday. Never been before. What a wonderful experience. A welcome birthday card was a nice touch. The food was excellent with one of the best steaks I have ever had. I'm definitely coming back.

Lovely service from the Irish lady, food was brilliant. Can't believe this is in Newcastle, when you're inside it would feel like in central London. The only downfall hence why the 4* would be the music, it was only ourselves in at the time but the music was not really for the place, maybe for a club/bar but not for the standard of this restaurant. I would come back again for a nice glass of red.

Poor service and ignored by staff, several other people just walked up and got severed before us, the male member of staff was too busy trying to look good in front of the women, sad really, we ended just walking out after trying to get...
