Kaltur Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Ordered a good selection of dishes - and it was quite expensive at over £80. But looking forward to giving it a try. Unfortunately was totally disappointed. Firstly it was nearly cold - can’t have been kept warm in insulated bags at all. Then most the dishes were overly greasy. All the tempura is meant to be really light - this wasn’t. Heavy and greasy unfortunately. My boys usually LOVE tempura prawns and wouldn’t eat these. The bravas sauce was not pleasant at all. A really odd taste. The same taste was prevalent in the pork cheeks - which were also not particularly nice. The croquettas were fairly good on the flip side. Overall - completely underwhelmed and with the choice of restaurants out there we won’t be going back. Sorry - but make more effort in your food!

Greasy, congealed, poor quality - it all went into the bin. The ribs were just fat, no meat at all. Predictably once I sent them an email to advise that we were disappointed with the food, I got an aggressive email immediately stating I must be wrong as no one else had complained - so clearly fault was mine!

We frequently visit Spain and really enjoy tapas. Well, these two restaurants serve the best tapas outside Spain. We visited 4th November, just prior to the England lockdown. I must say, safety was paramount in the the restaurant. The food is mostly imported and really authentic. The chefs are so skilled and put a great twist on each dish. And the wine list....well that’s just as good. Friendly staff, good food and superb wine. Well you just have to give it a visit.

We went here on a friends recommendation and I'm so pleased we did. It was one of the nicest meals out I've had in a while. The staff were lovely and accommodating. I would definitely recommend going here because you won't be disappointed.

Food was faultless. Loved the tapas. But did feel the venue lacked social distancing measures due to the confined space.

He querido visitar este lugar en mucho tiempo y finalmente fui. El personal fue excelente y atento y el menú parece delicioso. ¡Sin embargo decepcionante sobre todo! ! ¡Pedimos la fuente de jamón ibérico que a los 15 hubiéramos esperado que nos diera un poco de sorpresa! Era un plato con esquejes de han. El pilnpil de gambas no estaba chisporroteando como esperábamos, no sabía a ajo. ¡Pigsbcheek! Pimienta deliciosa y patata bravo ok. El postre fue el más divertido, eran cortes de rosquilla, muy simple, estaba destinado a venir con salsa de chocolate, ¡pero obtuvimos agua marrón! Gastamos 150, lo cual nos pareció caro para lo que teníamos. No iría en segundo plano

Absolutamente excepcional, ¡posiblemente la mejor experiencia de restaurante de mi vida! El servicio fue impecable, no podrían haber hecho más por ti. Los platos se sacaron cuando estaban listos y se puede ver cómo se cocinan en la cocina abierta. El chef nos vio mirando y trajo unas croquetas gratis a nuestra mesa, ¡las mejores croquetas de nuestras vidas! El tamaño de las porciones es excelente y tiene un precio razonable, 68 por 5 tapas, 2 vasos grandes de sangría, postre y 10% de cargo por servicio. Definitivamente volveremos pronto.

Buena comida, una de las mejores tapas que he probado en el Reino Unido. Lo único que lo estropeó fue la factura. Fui un lunes a comer fuera para ayudar, se agregó un cargo por servicio del 10% a la factura antes de cualquier otro descuento. Significó que pagué 10 extra por una comida de 50. Eso dolió un poco. ? Siempre me encanta dejar una buena propina pero esa debería ser mi elección. Sigue siendo un buen lugar para comer no menos.

En general, tengo sentimientos encontrados sobre nuestra visita a Kaltur. En general, la comida y la relación calidad-precio eran bastante decentes y tan buenas como la mayoría de los restaurantes españoles que visito en Manchester con regularidad.Lo que me preocupó fue la gran velocidad con la que se sacaron los platos y fue abrumadora. Una buena comida de tapas debe ser escalonada en lugar de simplemente tirarla de una sola vez. También cuestiono el orden en que se llevaron los platos con platos fríos al final, que nunca antes había comido. . . . siempre son platos calientes al final. . . . Solo puedo pensar que olvidaron nuestro pedido y solo se acordaron tarde.Un poco de servicio condescendiente cuando pedí que me llevaran algunos platos y los mantuvieran calientes y el camarero dijo que esto es tapas y así es como viene. . . . He comido en todo el mundo y he vivido en España, así que sé muy bien cómo funcionan las tapas, gracias.

¡Uno de mis restaurantes favoritos en Newcastle! Suelo ir a la sucursal de Dean Street, ya sea solo o con amigos porque siento que estoy tomando auténticas tapas en Sevilla. Recomiendo encarecidamente el chorizo, la berenjena y la merluza, ¡y siempre tengo los churros! Manuel es excelente en su trabajo y el servicio es fantástico (saben exactamente cómo escalonar la comida para que no comas demasiado a la vez). Grandes vinos también. ¡No puedo recomendar lo suficiente!

Nunca he tenido una gran experiencia en Newcastle con tapas en el pasado, sin embargo, solo he estado en La Tasca, que no califiqué. Después de que mi señora se entusiasmara con Kaltur, decidí reservar una mesa para nosotros dos. Nos recibió lo que parecía ser un pequeño comedor, pero nos sentamos en la zona de la planta baja que está escondida de la vista de la calle. El ambiente del lugar rezuma clase con una decoración minimalista pero sofisticada que fomenta una experiencia relajante. Una vez sentados abajo, inmediatamente nos atendió el excelente Jacob, que estuvo atento y maravilloso durante toda la noche. La Sra. Y yo decidimos pedir 7 platos para compartir, siendo estos; El paté de perdiz, queso manchego y azul, calamares fritos, langostinos al ajillo, chorizo, costillas de cerdo a fuego lento y cordero. Nuestros platos llegaron en pares de 2 y todos se sirvieron muy rápidamente. El tamaño de cada una de las tapas es más grande que el que he tenido en España y perfecto para compartir. Elegir un punto culminante es increíblemente difícil ya que cada plato era increíble y cocinado a la perfección. El chorizo es sin duda el mejor que he probado, mientras que el paté de perdiz era absolutamente divino. Anteriormente, solo había probado una gamba una vez cuando tenía 5 años, lo que provocó que me ahogara y, por lo tanto, desarrollara un odio todopoderoso hacia los pequeños crustáceos acuáticos. Sin embargo, ansioso por complacer a mi único, me sumergí con cierta inquietud solo para ser recibido con una agradable sorpresa: mi intolerancia desapareció para siempre sin que se repitiera la asfixia, ¡AQUÍ AQUÍ! Lo mismo puede decirse de los calamares fritos, excepto que esta fue la primera vez que intenté, nuevamente, ¡impresionar a la joya sentada frente a mí! Convertido - abosulety! Me parece un testimonio de la calidad de la cocina y el uso fantástico de los ingredientes que un restaurante puede convertir lo que parece ser una criatura totalmente desagradable en un bocado maravillosamente equilibrado. Combinamos nuestra comida con el vino Albarino, que fue un acompañamiento perfecto para nuestro pedido. Para resumir, Kaltur es la mejor experiencia para salir a comer que he tenido en la ciudad durante años y ¡sin duda volveré! Ps, un saludo extra para Jacob: ¡fuiste un camarero fantástico y eres un mérito para el lugar!

We have been here a few times and always enjoyed the food , however after lockdown we thought we would book for a lunch . The restaurant was adhering to social distancing so there was not too many in as it is a relatively small place . We opted for a selection of tapas dishes and a bottle of wine to wash it down . Although the food was decent ,the service took ages, the potato bravas was served first and the last dish (which was the charcuterie) was served about 45 mins later ! The bill was £85 for 2 of us for lunch which was a bit steep for a lunch . Nice food but let down a bit by the service.

Mi pareja y yo probamos este lugar anoche y es instantáneamente nuestro nuevo favorito.Pequeños y acogedores, pero nos sentimos perfectamente seguros desde el punto de vista del distanciamiento social.El camarero era amable, educado, divertido y nada agobiante. Maridaba con un vino perfecto para nuestros platos pequeños.La selección de quesos y embutidos fue excepcional al igual que el cordero teriyaki y la merluza.Volveremos muy pronto.

Visited as part of the Eat Out to Help Out campaign on a Wednesday evening.Very impressed by the friendliness of the 2 waiters, such a lovely little setting as well.The extensive wine list didnt disappoint and we went for a white rioja which was a perfect accompaniment.We ordered the patatas bravas, pork cheek, chorizo, padron peppers, croquettes and the tempura hake. Everything seemed really Spanish, portions were bigger than some of the other comments on here would indicate. The batter on the hake was slightly thicker than I'd expect for tempura, croquettes were my favourite.We ended on a very large portion of churros with chocolate sauce, just maybe needed a scoop of ice cream.Was more expensive than most other tapas restaurants in Newcastle but was well worth it!

My partner and I were looking forward to a date evening for the first time since lockdown and maybe this resulted in high expectations. The food was quite a disappointment. The pil pil prawns (£9.50), which I know from Spanish holidays should taste deliciously flavourful and garlicky only tasted.... vaguely fishy. They were also totally overpriced with 7 of them on a few bits of bread. The “aioli” on the patatas bravas, almost definitely came from a squeezy bottle. The atmosphere of this place was wonderful, casual and romantic, and the service was attentive and smooth. But we won’t be coming back because of the totally overpriced, bland and unfortunately disappointing food. **** atmosphere and service, ** food

Food was decent, but just hugely overpriced for what was pretty average Spanish food. No better than other, much cheaper Spanish restaurants in Newcastle.

We booked this restaurant not really knowing what to expect and we were really pleased with the experience.This was our first real weekend away as a couple as Covid had got in the way, so it was very special for us. A mix up with our booking meant we had to wait for a table, but that wasn't a problem as we ordered wine and olives whilst we waited. Covid meant strict distancing and cleaning, which was followed. The meal was delicious, staff very friendly and courteous. We would definitely go again whenever we visit Newcastle.

Food is amazing and of very high standard but it is pricey - you get what you pay for though! The staff are so welcoming and friendly too.

We dropped in without a reservation and got a good table. The service was great, proposed a lot of different tapas which we took and they all tasted very good. Also, the wine that they proposed was great. Overall a great place to eat.

We went to the Dean Street branch for Sunday lunch we were very disappointed when we were the only people at the restaurant we were made to feel very welcome but there was no atmosphere as we were the only people there I must admit I was very disappointed with the Sunday lunch we received I would like to go again on an evening and try the Tapas but I would not recommend Sunday lunch

Booked online and Manuel confirmed back promptly. Turned up on the dot and had the place to myself. Tuesday lunchtime is gonna be the new Friday! Had a cold Manzanilla sherry with some complimentary nibbles...Then some bread with tomato, calamari Andalusia, black pudding then squid on mash. Amazing flavour, textures and contrasts. Review can’t do it justice.Will visit my new foodie friends again soon!Rob

Because of a mix up with the booking we were given a table at the Dean Street restaurant and a round of drinks on the house, which was very generous. The food was really good as was the service. I'm going again next week to the restaurant in High Bridge!

I'm not really sure how much more is needed after the total. Nice atmosphere. Good wine. Brilliant foot. 100% will return

we booked into the dean street restaurant and were a little disappointed when we were set up on a table to sit side by side as there wasnt the room to sit opposite eachother and there was a smelly drain issue on the other table. we asked to have a table at the high market restaurant and we were moved straight away so we had a little walk up, this was not a downside to the experience. Both places had a lovely atmosphere,the staff were second to none and the food was really good. we will be visiting againonly real issue was our eyes were bigger than our belly and we struggled to finish everything

Visité el Kaltur original en algunas ocasiones, el nuevo restaurante igualmente bueno.Atractivo peculiar diseño y ambiente. Fantástico personal muy bien informado y atento.Teníamos menú fijo, pero la elección de tapas se ve genial, pero es fácil pedir demasiado.La comida es excelente.Ve allí !

We ate at the Dean Street restaurant during Newcastle Restaurant Week.The town and restaurant were very busy but that didn't detract from the great service and wonderful food. The iberico Pork was arguably, the best we've ever tasted.We were recommended the restaurant by the owner of a small restaurant in Washington and we weren't disappointed. we'll definitely be back

We’ve had quite a lot of visits to Kaltur now and it never fails to deliver! The food is absolutely delicious and there is always a few new things to try. The atmosphere is always relaxed and cosy and the staff are excellent, friendly and efficient. Some of the best wine Iv ever tried also with a selection of prices to suit everyone. You’ve got to try this place! Our favourite place in Newcastle by far!

We booked a table for Newcastle Restaurant week, and was a great option.The restaurant at Dean Street is cosy and cool, with an open kitchen that allows you to see how your meal is cooked (fantastic extraction system, we left the restaurant without any food smell on us)-The food was lovely,Spanish ingredients and flavours with a modern twist, It´s not a typical Spanish restaurant in UK, Is the kind of restaurant you can find in any city of Spain. Kind staff, energetic atmosphere, great wine list and hih quality ingredients and authentic Spanish flavours. I couldn´t ask for more. Thank you for a lovely night

My friend and I decided to give this restaurant a 'go' on one of regular evenings out. From start to finish it was disappointing. We start with their booking system: utter chaos, and on arrival they claimed to have no booking for me. Well I definitely booked. Eventually they found a table, we were left to stew! No serve, no menus, no wrest fro a drink etc. We, eventually, had to wander over to the bar to order drinks and get menus. We ordered, only to be told (a it late by that point) that dishes would arrive when the KITCHEN (not us note, the kitchen) were ready. Inevitably the main course arrived To make matters worse the small table meant that everything was crowded in. As for the food, well it was good although I thought there age of minute nouvelle cuisine dishes were long gone. Overall? We'll never go there again, neither would I recommend any friends to go: quite the opposite and it's a place to be avoided.

We visited the Dean Street restaurant. The food was ok, but we waited over 30 mins to order even drinks, and then longer still for food, only for one of the mains to be apparently ‘forgotten’ with the chefs leaving the restaurant before we had to ask if the food was coming. To top off the experience, they had the cheek to add on a 10% service charge to our full price bill with not so much as an apology. I had looked forward for a long time to eating here but I won’t be returning.

We dropped into here after tasting some of their wines,at another venue. A very small gluten free menu produced in a mixed kitchen but I had no issues. Tasty food helpful staff but not sure I would visit again as such a limited menu for me

I’ll start with the positives: friendly staff, the food that arrived was delicious, and the prices were reasonable, particularly the wine list. The venue was clean and well presented. When we were settled our order was taken promptly.

We got the seat of our choice by the window and the time flew as we ate tapas style and watched people hurrying by on a wet night in High Bridge. The food was great quality and though some if the menu was familiar it all had a little twist that made it surprisingly different. The staff were hugely attentive and made our visit one we’ll look to repeat.

I could not rate this restaurant any higher, the visit was excellent, both the front of house staff and the chef made the experience fantastic right from the start, they were polite, friendly and more than happy to take the time to talk and help with the menu.

The Dean St restaurant is a total disappointment from start to finish. Whilst waiting for friends to arrive I sat at the bar for 10 minutes without anyone really even acknowledging my existence. Finally I was forced to go to the till to get a drink. I was be-grudgingly recommended a glass of Rioja at the rather expensive price of £6 per glass (and there is no way that it was a large glass). We were seated and had to wait a further 15 minutes before anyone took the drinks order. Following the grumpy bar mans advise I ordered a bottle of the "amazing" Rioja whilst my fiends were given a limited choice of other wines to order. Another 15 minutes and everyone has their drinks except myself who is informed that "they are still looking for that elusive bottle of wine" that they recommended. Finally I was forced to order wine by the glass as no other option appeared to be available. We all ordered various tapas dishes off the menu only to find 10 minutes later that 3 of them were no longer available (Saturday night 8.45pm????). The garlic prawns were totally un seasoned and lacked any flavour of garlic or lemon, the blackpudding salad thing my friend had would not fill up a pigeon and the chorizo tapas was a plate of chorizo cut into chunks. My friends had 3 over priced deserts that came to about £30 that were barely on par with something you could buy in the freezer section of Heron foods. In conclusion I had 3 or 4 prawns in olive oil, one piece of chorizo, one mouthful of a bit of cake and some glasses of wine I didn't want for the handsome sum of £60. This place is a complete joke.

Recommendation from a colleague at work. Didn't disappoint. Brilliant all over. Tapas style food with fantastic authenticity. We had numerous dishes and loved them all. Wine list is extensive and excellent.

This is one of the worst food experiences in Newcastle. Firstly it is massively over priced. You don't mind paying for quality but sadly it was not value for money. The food was salty, greasy, cold and all disappointing. It was served in cold bowls with cold side plates.

Booked for 8 of us on a Friday night. Table was downstairs in a 'nook' down some stairs which made it feel nice and private. Our waiter was really nice and patient with us as we took ages to decide and was really knowledgeable as we had 1 vegan, 1 nut allergy & 1 pregnant. We ordered 2 each and 2x mixed meats/cheese platters and finished them all. The chef was really accommodating and separated out the nuts from dishes so we could add it and the nut allergy could eat them. The pistachio cake was a good finish. We had paid a £80 deposit beforehand and this was taken off the bill. Without drinks food was about £28 each which was reasonable. Would return again.

We called in here on spec on a Saturday afternoon, although rather small restaurant we thought we would have a good chance of a table as it was two of us . We hit on lucky and managed to get a table , however I would recommend that book . The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable and recommended a very good wine to complement our food order . We had a selection of tapas dishes and every one was excellent. A must try restaurant in the heart of the city .

We had a very pleasant evening here. Food was good chairs a little uncomfortable. We could have done without the explanation of what tapas is and how much to order - surely it’s not uncommon to have eaten tapas before?

Went to celebrate a friends birthday, we booked over a week in advance and we were really excited after hearing good things about how it’s “authentic Spanish experience”. When we arrived it was absolutely freezing cold, I had to put my coat on it was so bad. It wasn’t really busy, yet the waiters took a long time to acknowledge us and bring menus over. I worked in hospitality for ten years, and appreciate that sometimes when waiting on tables you just don’t wanna chat, however the guy serving us was rude, patronising and made us feel so unwelcome.

I had wanted to try this place for a long time because I’d heard really good things but I found it very disappointing. Don’t get me wrong, the food was of good quality but I found it very pretentious. The restaurant was freezing, the dishes were pricey and the waiters were not very attentive. For example, we ordered the octopus which was £13 - expensive for a tapas dish, if you ask me - and when it came, it certainly wasn’t value for money. If you’re wanting great tapas, I’d recommend El Torero because it is far more reasonably priced, the staff are very attentive and the restaurant has a brilliant atmosphere. I won’t be returning to Kaltur, unfortunately.

The place was absolutely freezing; one small oil filled radiator slung under some tables meant that most guests were shivering, complaining and wearing their coats.

Thank you to Manuel (Sorry if I’ve spelt it wrong) for being so awesome. Made the delicious food even better!!

Recommended by my son, a student in Newcastle, as a tapas restaurant to take him to for dinner, I didn’t think it would be too expensive. Well, at £55 a head for the three of us, including a well earned 10% service charge, it was high quality restaurant prices; but it was worth it!

I had the Chorizo to start with which was a large portion compared to normal servings

We visited the new Kaltur in Dean Street before the Theatre. It was surprising and superb! We didn’t know it was there and walked past but they let us have a table that was booked as were leaving early for the show. All the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Sometimes tapas can be the same but not here. We chose four and each were unlike anything we had had before. The calamari and cod were particularly good. Although we could have been late, they hurried to get the pistachio cake dessert for us.and we were on time! All washed down with a nice Ribero del Douro.

Ok so the environment is lovely, looks nice and relaxing, however after walking in and being told we have no longer than 1 hour, then after asking if they do gluten free and getting looked at like I have 2 heads, then being told she will ask the chef and not even acknowledging me after he said no to gluten-free I have to say this never normally happens but we actually walked out I have never felt this abnormal in a long time didn't realise asking for gluten-free food was that bad.

Original concept! Goed eten en prima bediening. Great Spanish wine cart. Good environment to have dinner!

Paid a visit here and was £13 for my Sunday lunch on dean street, place was empty, I now know why, watery gravy in a jug, hard potatoes, hard carrots, meat was only good thing, but was little amount, son had chorizo which was ok for £6 and patatas braves and potatoes were hard, sauces a bit bland, I will let you judge for yourself, won’t return.

We visited the High Bridge restaurant after an afternoon shopping. We were quickly settled at a lovely table and given the menu. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Drinks quickly arrived, the wine and special cocktail both fantastic. Then came a stream of beautiful dishes all of which were so tasty and cooked to perfection. Dad and daughter shared a beautiful dessert and we paid the bill which I thought was excellent value for the quality of food, drink and service we received. As with all tapas meals not everything arrives at the same time but that is part of the experience and there was no delay with anything. This was our first visit but certainly won’t be the last.

Came here for a surprise meal for a friends birthday. The food was good but this is not a cheap place, and portions were quite small. Would recommend the sharing platters, nice way to try a few things. Drinks also quite pricey, £5 for a pint of beer and £3 for a lime and soda.

This place is up there with the best Spanish places I have visited. Great menu that changes often.

We opted for some bread and Obrisada starter and then the Presa Pork, Patatas braves and tempura Cod between two of us. It was plenty and very very tasty.

We visited after recommendation by my niece and her husband. This was a family lunch prior to a visit to the theatre. I very nearly cancelled our booking after reading some of the poor reviews on Trip Adviser. I can only say to those people giving such bad reviews is that they must have been to a different restaurant to the one we visited. The food was amazing and the service was second to none. Our waiter was attentive and helpful with his knowledge of the menu and unlike the person who does not like to leave a tip we were not only quite happy to pay the service charge but left a further tip. Let us hope that the people who make derogatory comments don’t ever find themselves having to serve the general public. We will definitely be returning next time we are in Newcastle and would advise anyone who has not been to Kaltur to try it for themselves

Visited for our 10 year wedding anniversary, service and food were excellent. Pre odered pre drink of Cava for arrival due to anniversary, Thought it may have been a nice touch to offer as complimentary drink given the special occasion but did not take away the excellent meal/wine and service we received. will def be going back.

On arrival at Kaltur, we acknowledged the waiter as we joined our friends but did not expect to have to ask various waiters 3 times to be served for drinks, especially that it was a hot evening and we were gasping for a drink. Eventually the drinks came and food orders taken; however, one friend was served one dish and nothing else arrived so she ate the entire dish on her own and still waited before any other dishes came out, defeating the idea of going out for a meal together. It was very piece meal with the service; staff could more welcoming, and food. It is only a small restaurant and it was not full so this lack of organisation could not even be justified.

Found this little gem and would recommend everyone try this place. Lovely service. Lovely atmosphere. Amazing food. I wish I had this on my doorstep. Genuine Spanish chefs cooking right in front of you. checkitout

After hearing about this from friends, I finally found time with the kids to get in here for lunch. With only one table full when we came at 1.30pm on a Saturday, it filled up within the next 30 mins to almost full.

My friends took me to the new Dean Street Branch- and although they were satisfied with the food they were not that thrilled with the service. I am afraid that I have to concur. Orders were forgotten about and everything seemed a little slow and chaotic. They assured me that it was quite different in the other original Branch, though. I could enjoy myself nevertheless-and it was simply great to be with these friends whom i hadn't seen for some time-the Tyranny of Distance governing the gulf between Hong Kong and Newcastle and all that.The tapas themselves were good when they arrived, especially the tempura style fish and the aubergines platter.

Had a gorgeous lunch here. Every dish was beautifully presented and so very tasty. Generous portions and each dish surprised and delighted us when it appeared on our table, we could not wait to taste each one. Great service and extremely knowledgeable about the origins of the dishes and the wines. Thank you so much.

Visited the Dean Street restaurant and it exceeded my expectations. Having read reviews of rude & arrogant staff I was pleased to find the waiters courteous & pleasant. Open kitchen & all the chefs were also welcoming. All the food was very authentic & INCREDIBLE. Couldn’t fault a single dish we had (and we shared everything as it all comes as it is ready - very traditionally Spanish tapas style). Wine was lovely if a little pricey. The atmosphere was great & reminded us of being in a tapas bar in Barcelona. Definitely not one to miss!

Firstly we have visited the Highbridge Restaurant several times and really enjoyed it. However, this visit to the new Dean St restaurant was disappointing. Primarily this was due to the rude and arrogant staff who would do well to remember that some people in Newcastle can speak Spanish and understand your snarky comments. Food was just ok, nothing special.

Min mand og jeg spiste der en søndag som de eneste. Vi bestilte noget fra dagens specialiteter, men fik at vide, at de ikke var til at få. Jeg fik en ret med svinekød og min mand en med lam. Vi fik først oliven, som var fantastiske og en dejlig rødvin. Da maden kom, tænkte vi at det lignede noget, der var varmet i mikrobølgeovnen. Min ret smagte ok, men min mands smagte mærkeligt. Han skulle have ladet være med at spise det. Næste aften kastede han op og blev ved hele natten. Næste dag var jeg ude et øjeblik og fandt ham besvimet på gulvet, da jeg komme hjem. Han kom på sygehuset med svær maveforgiftning og var indlagt et døgn. Det ødelagde vores ferie.

Ottima cucina iberica in questo piccolo ristorante, gemma nascosta di Newcastle. Il titolare (italiano) importa vino, olio, carne, etc... direttamente dalla Spagna.

Visited last weekend, which is our 3rd time at Kaltur. Great food, great wine, competent staff and all very reasonably priced. Cannot wait to go back.

I was looking forward to enjoy a nice evening of Spanish food and drink on my Birthday, which was ruined by incompetent staff not properly creating the reservation. I had given them my Name and mobile number, so thought no more of it. Only until tonight did I realise they have two restaurants in Newcastle the first one said no second one said no but we can 'squeeze you in', aboherent service and no sorry, I DO NOT WANT to be squeezed in like a second class diner. If this is how they manage the reservations, one can only assume the mess they would make by actually taking food orders. Avoid.

Fantastic service, we were greeted warmly and kept happy the whole evening.

My wife and I had heard good things about this place for some time so, in the middle of last week, we decided to try it for a fairly early evening meal. The result was slightly difficult to review as it contained some really good stuff yet some parts that were less than impressive.

Recommended by a friend to try this place and did not disappoint. A small and cosy venu with a lovely atmosphere. We booked last minute and we're sat at the bar. We weren't sure what this would be like but it actually added to the experience sitting in view of the open kitchen.

In for lunch on a Saturday and we were the only people there. Come on Geordies you are missing out. Food was excellent and service was fast (as you might expect with no one else there). The whitebait and the baby calamari were superb, everything else was good and the patatas bravas were terrific. Would highly recommend the place.

Came here late May with some Spanish colleagues after a recommendation from one of them. Fantastic & authentic cuisine. Good service and good value. It's cosy decor really makes it.

Loved it. Great service, very relaxed. Great food . House red was lovely. Staff were very friendly but not in your face. Would definitely go back

Rugby Weekend , 4 friends. We wanted to sit out drink a glass of nice wine and eat a few side dishes and found it very hard to find somewhere that was willing to accommodate us. We found Kaltur accidentally but what a find. Warning:Tapas comes "as its cooked" and this is a one person kitchen. We had a couple of bottles of Tempranillo Gallinita Ciega and 8 Tapas which was plenty of food for us. The Iberico Ham and Wild Boar plates were the most interesting but all was very tasty and we spent a couple of hours in the place. Very good service from the waiter who gave us plenty of advice on what was interesting to order. Service charge is added automatically to the bill and it came out at £35 per head which is good value but probably a little expensive by UK standards.

Delicious authentic yet modern Spanish food with a delicious selection of wines and sherry. Something for every palate!

Excellent food!!!! We hadn't been here before, staff very good in helping us make a choice of dishes. Everything we had was beautiful. Glass of white wine - also lovely.

We visited on a Saturday evening with friends, the staff were really helpful advising what and how much to order. The food was terrific and the atmosphere is great in a very intimate setting

Love the atmosphere of this little place. The staff are very friendly and food beautifully cooked.

This morning, after searching somewhere new for breakfast in Newcastle, I found Kaltur. Staff were very attentive, and the ambience was relaxed. The decor is light and modern. Some works are ongoing downstairs, presumably to extend the seating area. This in no way interferes with the seated area at ground level.

we went as a group of 5 to the Dean St branch last night and had a great time...food and wine were uniformly to a high standard with the tapas a couple of notches above the competition. a larger group gave the opportunity to give the menu a thorough seeing to and highlights were the croquettes, chorizo in cider, their take on the staple patatas bravas and a magnificent brioche with creme anglais.

A very good experience overall, most of the dishes were very tasty and well executed, high quality ingredients used. Service good and friendly waiter, some of the seasoning was off and the mashed potato was horrible, didn't like the automatically added service charge. Would visit again and beats all the chains round the corner. Small dishes but good value overall.

A wonderful pm at the new Dean Street Kaltur on Saturday 18th May. Quite a small restaurant, the downstairs room not yet open, but busy with a friendly and buzzy atmosphere. Four of us drinking and dining. Sherry, Cava, the day’s special white wine and a Rioja Baja all delicious. We had loads of tapas dishes, all fantastic with special mention of the tempura cod, the suckling pig, the courgette cannelloni and the seared tuna. Wonderful flavours, I just wish that more restaurants employed such skilled chefs. Congratulations to you all, I can’t wait to return.

Tried the new Dean street for lunchtime tapas on Friday 17th may. Hopeless service, poor food. Two of us wont be back

Modest sized and interesting menu.

Really charming little restaurant, we are lucky to have it in Newcastle. It is more expensive than usual however the quality and charm is unlike no other. We had a lovely window seat which was great to people watch on high bridge, we were there at 7:30 on a Saturday night (booking is a must) and we had a bottle of cava, patatas bravas, ciabatta with tomato and cheese, a slow roasted pork dish and chorizo which was the best ever! All very yummy and the service was fantastic.

We visited Kaltur on a Thursday evening without booking. The restaurant is very small but we managed to get a spot in front of the window, which was fine albeit a bit challenging when sharing tapas!

We visited Kaltur with friends on a Saturday evening. When we arrived, the restaurant was packed, so we were glad we’d booked a table. The restaurant is cosy, with a relaxed vibe, and the staff were more than happy to offer their recommendations on wine and dishes from the menu.

Kaltur provides a creative range of tapas dishes which are lovely to look at (I have to admit it was their Instagram feed that made us go there) and even lovelier to eat. We enjoyed a charcuterie board of Iberico meats, chorizo braised in cider paired with creamy puréed parsnips, and a caramelised apple and goat’s cheese mille-feuille which was a revelation—it had a light honeyed sweetness that balanced the cheese perfectly and that made me want to lick the bowl clean. The two man team cooking and serving the food were passionate and rightly proud of their heritage and the food and wine they were providing. When I was torn between two desserts and asked our server which he would recommend, he looked genuinely torn too. He then said he had a lifelong love of the dessert from the specials board, torrijas—brioche soaked in milk infused with citrus and cinnamon and served with cinnamon ice cream and an impossibly thin chocolate biscuit. It was every bit as good as it sounds. They’re opening a larger space in Dean Street soon and I’d come back to Newcastle just to have this experience again.

As a resident of Newcastle and someone who I keen to try new places I was really looking forward to my meal as many people had recommended this restaurant. Unfortunately it did not live up to the expectation. For a restaurant in the ‘expensive’ range it certainly did not live up to this billing. The food was largely bland and comparable to the Tapas chain in Newcastle called Tapas Revolution which is a much cheaper option for a very similar standard of food. Such a shame and unfortunately won’t be returning as there are much better options in Newcastle for this price range

Having had an early lunch we weren't overly hungry and just could not decide on what to eat. We wandered round for a couple of hours, eventually ordering at one place, but when we were told that one of the dishes wasn't available, decided to move on. After finding a magazine review on-line we found ourselves back at Kaltur, somewhere we had liked the look of a couple of hours earlier, but had decided against as it had some tins off sardines on one of the shelves in the window. It turns out Kaltur is an importer of Spanish goods. So glad we overcame our problem with the tins of sardines. Sat at two stools overlooking the chefs and asked them to cook whatever they thought we should have. What a great evening. Fantastic wine, knowledgeable, interested staff and delicious food. Will definitely return.

Food was tasteless, bland with no seasoning. One of our dishes didnt arrive but we werent bothered as the food we had already ate was tasteless. We did complain. We were drinking our wine when the waitress asked if we would move off our table so someone else could sit at it. We had only been in for 50 minutes. what a cheek. We told her no. They asked us to come back another time - no chance

A cosy gem, delicious selection of tapas artistically presented. Flavours to die for. Need the book even mid week

Top quality ingredients, excellent cooking and well seasoned, exactly to my taste. The atmosphere is nice and the staff pleasant. I was very happy!

What a fantastic restaurant, great food , great service . My wife and I visited here early February for a night out . We were very impressed with the food and service . I would definitely recommend for fabulous Spanish comida

Must’ve very popular because we couldn’t get a table on the Thursday night and only managed to get one Friday night if we we finished before 7 o’clock as it was pre-booked.This suited us fine and we thoroughly enjoyed our food and wine experience.The staff were very friendly and I would definitely recommend a visit.

Stopped here for pre theatre tapas. They were fully booked when we went in but because we had to be away before the performance started they managed to give us a pre booked table as long as we left in time for them to set up in time again. The food and wine were brilliant. The atmosphere has a great buzz and the staff were exceptional. We will definitely be back!

Having read a review saying they hadn’t “stopped thinking about the slow cooked cod” - I can only agree but for other reasons! The portion size for the price charged is completely outrageous and it wasn’t the best I’d tasted either. The bread we were served with our meal was so dry it was inedible and having explained this to the waiter he did nothing about it. The whole meal was expensive considering what you receive in portion size. Wouldn’t want to return.

One of my favourite places to eat; the food is great and the atmosphere is fantastic and very relaxed. However- 40 minutes trying to get a menu and order a dessert or even a couple more drinks is a little too relaxed. Spoiled the evening because we had to leave for taxi before we’d had chance to finish our meal. Not a cheap night out so the service needs to be better, in my opinion.

The food was stunning. I have not stopped thinking about the slow cooked cod and the prawn ravioli with manchego. I would have come back the next day and eaten it again if I could. We also had an Oaked white wine I had not tried before and it was excellent. I love this place and think it is one of the best restaurants in Newcastle.

Fuimos un día a comer y otro a cenar y no sabría decir que estuvo mejor, ambas comidas excepcionales. A pesar de estar en Newcastle todos los productos son españoles. Es un restaurante pequeñito con la cocina abierta, muy buen ambiente y comida exquisita.
