Kafeneon in Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle classic, been great year after year

Visited Newcastle to see a friend the recent bank holiday weekend and he recommended Kafeneon. The food was great quality, very reasonable prices and prompt service. Would recommend and revisit

Gorgeous Greek restaurant. We ordered The Original Meze Platter which was gorgeous and plenty for two people. Would visit again!

Another more than satisfying visit to one of our favourite restaurants. HappyHours menu was great value and as always the cocktails were amazing. Would definitely recommend 👍

The chicken souvlaki was wonderful and the service was great. The staff was friendly and the music was great!

Great food, friendly and efficient service.

Been around for ages, always busy and for good reason. Excellent service, consistently fantastic food at great prices

Loved it! Food fab, service great and prices fab

Delicious! We chanced on a visit while spending one night in Newcastle. Really good and filling food. Staff were great. Reasonable prices. Would recommend. Have a gf free menu.

Goid foid, goid atmosphere, goid service. Surprisingly busy for a Wednesday night. Will return.

Beautiful experience with lovely meal. Authentic Greek food. Greek salad is the best!

Absolutely delicious and friendly staff. Will be back.

Mi esposa y yo tuvimos el plato de mezze con un lado de papas fritas Halumi y todo fue fantástico. Somos un gran fan de esta cocina y esto fue de los mejores que hemos probado, especialmente las souvlaki y patatas fritas Halumi. El servicio fue atento y amable sin ser demasiado. Los cócteles tenían buena relación calidad-precio. Gastamos mucho menos de lo que lo haríamos en nuestro local y ambos acordamos que kafeneon era mejor en promedio. Sin duda volvería de nuevo si estuviéramos de vuelta en Newcastle

Food was lovely and it’s in a great spot

Lovely little restaurant. The food is delicious, and you get generous portions. The dining area & toilets are spotless, and the staff are friendly and attentive. £80 for 2 starters, 3 main courses & 6 drinks.

Great food great staff and really good prices. My favourite restaurant in Newcastle

El servicio era maravilloso: el camarero mezcló los pedidos, pero se reparó inmediatamente - no hay problema. Perfecto. Pero la comida estaba seca y salada. No volveríamos ni recomendaríamos este restaurante

Buen restaurante griego independiente amable , el personal toda la comida muy atenta era de un buen nivel y abundante precio muy razonable

Amazing food great staff. Fixed menu great value. Definitely worth a return visit next time in Newcastle.

Gorgeous food,it's been ages since we were at this restaurant and the atmosphere is great.

Lovely authentic Greek food. Lovely atmosphere and staff too.

On a visit to Newcastle to deliver some training. This was a super choice for dining. Could tell from the minute I walked through the door that it would be a good experience…and it was.

Este lugar ha sido consistentemente genial durante años. Noche con amigos antes de un concierto, el servicio y las bebidas eran el lugar y la comida era tan buena. Opté por compartir platos con un poco de todo, y estaba todo tan fresco y sabroso. Volverá la defo y lo recomiendo a cualquiera!

Super friendly treatment very delicious food

Greek hospitality at its best in the heart of Newcastle. Generoud portions of very tasty food. Stefado and kleftiko stood out as mains and the honey & walnut cake was the perfect dessert. Special thanks to Nina for the first-class service. Looking forward to our next visit.

Reservamos la cena para 16 de nosotros, ya que uno de nuestros encantadores colegas / amigos nos estaba dejando. Había enviado pre-órdenes para ayudar con el servicio. Tuvimos un joven encantador sirviendo nuestros platos, que en realidad me dio las gracias por enumerar todo para él, ya que había hecho las cosas mucho más fáciles para él. Desafortunadamente no entendí su nombre. También había 2 señoritas, Connie e Izzy, que sonrieron todo el tiempo que estuvimos allí. Eran tan encantadores, atentos sin ser demasiado y eran tan acogedores y amables. La comida, como siempre, era deliciosa y los precios eran muy razonables también. Todos disfrutamos mucho en nuestra habitación en el primer piso, que siempre es una ventaja para conseguir para números más grandes. Genial, gracias a todos.

We were recommended here by a local couple we met in a hotel bar. I'm glad they told us as it was absolutely spot on, great food and great staff

Lovely place. Tasty food, nice surroundings, and friendly staff.

Amazing staff and the food was delicious 😋

Amazing food and very friendly staff. Haven't been here since 2000 and I can honestly say the food is still just as delicious. Recommend booking as very popular

Absolutely gorgeous food... so tasty... staff were amazing!! Highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👌👌

Superb food at a decent price, wait staff were attentive and had personality, would recommend,

Okay so the food and service was good and efficient BUT and this is a personal one concerning our main course, we had the meze platter: having had this numerous times in Cyprus, Greece and the UK this is the first time it has all come at once on the same plate, thus you don't want to take your time over the food for fear of parts of it going cold, more difficult to share between two of us being all on the one plate. Can understand why the chef / restaurant does this as I believe the kitchen was on a different floor so it would be easier / safer / better for the staff for food in one go. Don't get me wrong the food was tasty but it was down to the presentation, this is one of those marmite moments for us.

Fantastic portions and really tasty food and good service.

A lovely independent Greek restaurant in Central Newcastle. We had a mid afternoon late lunch on a Sunday. The two course deal was great value and they certainly did not skimp on portion sizes! Great friendly service and a good buzzy atmosphere! I'd definitely go back!

Lovely catch up lunch, Food was delicious and portions where a good size, Main courses start from £14,, TOO FULL for any desserts

Found this lovey little place on an overnight stay, litlle did we know there was a tea time special available. The staff were fantastic and helpful, we hadnt booked so didnt expect to be seated as it was busy. We did get a seat ordered drinks and food and staff are a credit to the resturant. The food was fresh tasty and plentiful, and I want to return to try something else. It was the nicest food Id had in a long time, thank you x

delicious food, great atmosphere and friendly staff

Amazing food!!! Lovely staff, lovely place.

Fab restaurant! Not a place for alcohol, but didn't matter

Where do I start . Food is absolutely brilliant with a great menu , service is second to none amd the place really feels Greek........ been going for years

Lovely restaurant, my starter of Honey Halloumi bites was delicious, I was a little disappointed with the lamb burger and wish I'd gone for the Gyros because it was a bit bland and there was way too much salad, the churros were fantastic and the whole meal was really good value.

Food was fantastic... Will definitely return !

We had the best meal here. The staff were lovely, especially the guy at the till! Our food was delicious, and the portions were very generous! We also loved the cocktails. We will definitely be back soon!

Another meal at the fabulous Kafeneon , food never disappoints especially the meze sharing platter . Welcomed by the lovely Daniel and his friendly staff 💕can’t recommend this place enough , have been going over 15 years so that in itself speaks volumes 💕 if you in Newcastle and want a lovely meal then pay this gem of a place a visit 💕

Gorgeous food and very lovely staff. All the dishes were perfect, great house wine and tasty cocktails. Very reasonably priced too.

Always loved this place. Went on Saturday and it was obviously a busy service and our table wasn’t ready (the last booking were nursing their last glasses of wine) but the staff were so apologetic about it and worked to get us another table as soon as they could. You could see they genuinely cared about the customer service. You can’t always control everything and things will sometimes go wrong but you can control how you handle that and that was the difference here.

As far a Greek food is concerned in Newcastle this is one of the best places to get food. It's fresh and authentic. The cost of the food is reasonable too. If your looking for a place to take a date or family. You really cannot go wrong.

Called today for lunch. Staff were very welcoming and could not do enough for you. Lovely service. Hubby had the two course lunch special stifado and dips to start which was very nice. I opted for the chicken giros and chips it was quite salty and the chips were quite cold. Will choose something else if I went again.

In Newcastle? After some traditional Greek cuisine? If so this is the only place to go. Nipped in for lunch. Had the spicy brufetta which was light, tasty and refreshing. I would also highly recommend the cheese and honey. Opted for the beef stifado for mains. This was truly amazing. Beef was so tender, and lots of it wrapped into a tasteful sauce. Accompanied with rice, bread and salad. A feast and so delicious. Service matched the food. Great. Attentive and friendly. Mythos beer to wash it down. Came in at just over £20 so great value. Highly recommended. Don't walk by without entering. Five stars.

Amazing food, staff, and prices. We didn't book and came in at 5:30pm hoping to get some grub! We were welcomed in, and everyone was lovely. My partner said his starter was possibly one of the best he's ever had.

Absolutely buzzing on a Tuesday- only Kafeneon! Great pricing, attentive staff and amazing food. What’s not to love. 💖

Once again superb food and excellent service which is what we have received every visit to this lovely restaurant This place is excellent vale and always a pleasure to visit

My daughter loves this place and so do the adults! Thanks for making this place special! I dont need to add pictures the other 2000 diners speak for themselves! Thanks for the birthday cake its the little touches make it all so worthwhile

Great authentic food. Visited during restaurant week which was great value

It’s been a few years since I have been to this restaurant. Decided to take advantage of restaurant week in Newcastle. Decided to give Kafeneon a go and we weren’t disappointed. The service was great and the food was really tasty. Could not fault the place.

Very nice Greek restaurant. Definitely recommended

Opa! Great food for a great price, I love the pastitsio and the sharing mezze starter is a must! Definitely coming back

Such a lovely atmosphere and place! Nice to go and share dishes. Highlight was the orange cake for dessert - incredible!

Staff were so friendly and accommodating when I managed to mess up my own order!! Food was absolutely delicious, would definitely go again!

Just such a fantastic experience. Super friendly staff, amazing food and good service. Only downside is we waited for a little while for the food, but it was well worth the wait! The meal size was excellent!

Went for restaurant week but have been several times outside of that - truly one of my favourite places! Cheap food, friendly staff and great drinks plus you always know the music will be good. Always clean and well presented, we never feel rushed or unattended. Can't wait to go again!

A newcastle institution you really can't go wrong with a meal here. Happy hour is a fab deal, some nice wine and delicious food

Had the 2 courses for £16. Each course came quickly. Dishes prepared well and satisfying. Beers were £4.50.

The best Greek restaurant in Newcastle! The food is beautiful and the staff are lovely. We've been many times before and have always had such a fantastic experience. Looking forward to visiting again in the future, and would highly recommend to everyone.

Service was quick and polite. It was busy which is always a good sign. Food was excellent. Loved it.

Been here so many times. I've taken family friends and partners here, it never fails. Staff are so efficient and friendly. Food is superb always, never had a bad meal.

We loved this place. We will be back again soon. Food excellent. Staff are too

What a lovely place to go for a meal in Newcastle, beautiful building with phenomenal food & excellent friendly service

Food was amazing, and the Happy hour menu was spot on

Lovely place and staff, food was amazing!!

Good Greek food, very friendly staff. Been here twice already in 5 months.

Always fantastic! Been here a few times and can’t fault it. Lovely and quirky inside the venue and really makes you feel like your on holiday. The food is always spot on, very tasty! And the staff are fantastic, every member of staff is lovely. Great, friendly service!

We had our works Christmas get together here and the food was perfect and the service was also perfect.

This Greek style restaurant exudes warmth and welcome. Classic Greek dishes exquisitively and lovingly prepared to satisfy the English palate. With an extensive imaginative cocktail menus to boot in cosy warm surroundings. A visit to Newcastle should always include a visit here for lunch or dinner.

Consistently great restaurant, friendly staff, great atmosphere and authentic food. Also allergy friendly!

Hi, Visited here on a busy Sunday Afternoon party of two called on spec and was lucky enough to get table what more can I say but absolutely excellent the staff were super (especially the manager) the restaurant has a lovely ambiance the food and drinks were superb and really good value we left very full and very happy we will definitely be back.

Exceptional food, well presented. Staff and service friendly and excellent. Highly recommended.

First time at kafeneon will definitely return

Delicious food!! We nipped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon, seated straight away and had lovely service. Atmosphere was nice and staff were lovely. Food was amazing!!! We ordered the chicken gyros and the Greek club pitta toastie. Huge portions and was so tasty. Super cheap too! Highly reccomend

The food and service was exceptional.

I’ve been here loads of times and can’t fault the food or service. Was part of a group of 15 for a late lunch. Service was great we all got our food at the same time. Not rushed and was very relaxed. The lunchtime deal is great value. £15.95 for a starter and main. I had Saganaki and chicken souvlaki. This comes with chips though I opted for none. One thing to note is accessibility. There is not much room to manoeuvre upstairs and there are steps to the toilet so bear this in mind if you have these needs

We turned up as a family of five after a graduation ceremony without a booking, and they were incredibly graceful in accommodating us. We had the floor to ourselves, the service was outstanding and the food was so good even the fussy toddler enjoyed it! I am writing this review a day later and still thinking about the it... we'll be back!

I have been coming here as a visitor to Newcastle for 10 years. Not very often. But, over that 10 years this Greek restaurant has remained a place I would always trust. The food is great. The service is efficient and friendly. The value is excellent. I used to live in Germany where there was a local Greek restaurant. And Kafeneon reminds me of that. I know what I will order. I know I will like it. I know I will be welcome. I know I will leave happy. I know I will return. What more can I ask for? Pork Souvlaki...

I went a year ago and used to be a massive fan of their gyros and fresh handcut chips, we just revisited tonight and the food has went very downhill the chicken has drastically changed to what seems like ready made frozen chicken and the chips are also now just frozen fries. The service wasn't amazing either I was asked why I left a prawn and once our orders were taken we were pretty much ignored won't be returning.

I highly recommend the food in this place, high quality and reasonable price. Staff were nice and welcoming too.

Had a really lovely lunch here today Fabulous food and a really cute cozy place

Been coming to Cafe Neon for a few year's now and the food and service is outstanding.

We went here on a Tuesday night for pre theatre food. It was lovely and cosy, staff very attentive and food very reasonable. Generous portions. I had the halloumi and tsatsviki starter, followed by chicken skewers. My partner had beef stifado. Everything was delicious, would definitely return!

My favourite Greek restaurant in Newcastle! Great vibes, lovely drinks and delicious food! Staff are nice too! Really feels authentic.

Great service but food not a 5 star. Early-bird menu good value.

Very good starters. It was a little bit cold in the bathroom.

A warm friendly, independent restaurant offering genuine tasty Greek food. Loved the Baklava. Hope to return soon. Thankyou

We popped in for lunch not realising how popular this gorgeous restaurant is - very lucky to get a table - great food and great service highly recommend

Great greek food. I had the chicken souvlaki, and it was delicious!

Lovely Greek cuisine, my souvlaki was just about as good as any I've had in my many years visiting Greece

I love how it feels so authentic here, food was delicious and Staff were absolutely lush ❤️ Personal fav : deep fried feta Saganaki

Been a few times alway good. Great service

Love this place. Lovely food and good service

Nice restauraunt with authentic and delicious food, manager squeezed us in during a busy period, but we were served and fed quickly.
