DON'T BELIEVE THE FALSE HYPE OF THE POSITIVE REVIEWS! The location is the only good thing here. Had thee worst fry in this place, never mind the fact it's an absolute rip off at something like £8.50. You get 3 slices of toast, the tiniest slice of soda bread, the stingiest little pot of beans I've ever seen, 1 trimmed poached egg, 1 bacon, 1 sausage & no potato bread & I believe the 2 halves of a tomato are more to try and take the bare look of the plate but it does not. Also they messed up my order so ended up basically having beans on cold toast (more like BEAN on toast) while I waited for the bacon.

We were in Newcastle for the weekend in January and had been recommended this little gem, we were not disappointed. We had to sit outside because it was so busy…we were given hot water bottles to keep us warm..so nice. Definitely a place to visit if you’re in the area!

My wife and I attended the retro wine tasting yesterday evening. I can honestly say it was alot better than i anticipated as our knowledge of wine is minimal. The info given by the kind lady was very interesting and the wine served with each course complimented the food perfectly. The food was sublime from start to finish as were all the staff. We have already recommended it to family and friends and urge everybody near and far to contact or call in and get booked in for the next night. The people you'll meet on the night are brilliant. It was a great laugh from start to finish. Well done.

It's certainly very different from your normal Coffee shop but they have a great menu and great for people who are Vegans and Vegetarians. They also do Gluten Free Foods and have a good children's menu. Very quick service and some of their products are available to purchase. Each table is cleaned and disinfected before customers are allowed to sit down. They also have a great Range of Scones Traybakes Cakes and Buns. Our only disappointment was that they don't serve Decaffeinated Earl Grey Tea. Definitely worth a visit when you are in Newcastle.

Olive Bizarre is a fantastic place to visit. It is clean, a great view and the food is exceptional.

This place deserves more than 5 stars!! Came here for a belated special birthday lunch and had a wonderful vegetarian meal. There were great menu choices with separate children and veggie/vegan menus and I struggled to choose as spoilt for choice. In the end I went for the Korean cauliflower and chargrilled celeriac, with both being delicious. Don't really see celeriac on menus and there was a Cajun roasted version on the main menu, which I was pleased my son chose so could have a taste. My son's pumpkin soup of the day was delicious as was my husband's prawn and salmon dishes. My daughter ate from the children's menu and declared her garlic bread being some of the best she has tasted and the kitchen kindly did a meat free Sunday roast, which she loved. I was too full for pudding but did have a taste of what everyone else went for. Service throughout was fantastic. Great to find somewhere so nice with a varied menu and suitable for the whole family.
