Plaza Café & Bistro in Newcastle upon Tyne

This is a nice find, lovely place

Great food and drink and fantastic service from all of the lovely staff. Definitely will return.

Good service good coffee, however Halloween Decorations are terrible. For a family area they are not in any way appropriate.

Lovely place to visit with good quality of food and service from attentive staff, however, the music is overbearing and diminishes what could and should be a relaxing and sociable experience. On my visit (11/10/24) it felt like a live concert with food! Pity. A.Perkins

I was here recently, the food was good, but not worth the prices they asked for. The staff needs more training with customer service some staff came across as if they didn't care. We pre booked a table when we arrived nobody knows about it got told to take a table, and didn't get told whether to order from the counter or at the table. To make matters worse I went to the toilet and looked as if it didn't get cleaned often, empty toilet rolls and paper on the ground, and sticky floors.

Service was poor. A real lack of enthusiasm and quality of service

Good food, friendly staff - all good

Went for a light lunch on a chilly Monday in September. Delighted with good quality, tasty and well priced food. Good portions. Comfortable restaurant but will be better environment when nearby shops are let out. Will definitely return!

I’ve had a mix of dining experiences here. First time we were quite obviously forgot about and waited a very long time for breakfast (a while after ordering we were asked if everything was okay and if still needed to order… we said we ordered a while ago and within 5 minutes the food was brought out) however when food arrived it was top quality. I’ve also been when service was fab but the food was so dry and disappointing - the chip butty, I wouldn’t order that again. Great that it’s dog friendly, if I need somewhere to go with the dogs I’d keep here in mind.

Lovely food in the sun with family and the dog

Called into plaza today and one of the Black cherry and white chocolate scones I was never one for scones but must admit I’m converted fantastic compliment to the person who makes them

The location was nice, the staff were lovely, but I thought it was slightly overpriced. Whilst the sandwich I had was perfectly nice, it didn't live up to its billing as "The Italian Stallion". The fries that came with it were *slightly* soggy / undercooked, but still fine.

Just returned from a fabulous Baby Shower for my daughter at the Plaza cafe and bistro. The food was amazing, the venue perfect and the staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Helping with the setting up of the event and providing a friendly and professional service throughout. Would recommend this venue 100% Thank you to you all.

Friend introduced me to this place, the food and cakes are excellent service to staff very friendly have been back a few times now and never disappointed.

Food was decent, but the service wasn't what we expected. The lady who served us was quite abrasive. We didn't feel particularly welcome. Apparently items on the breakfast can't be substituted or removed "because it's too much hassle" - however they are happy for you to add additional items for a cost! The food itself was nice but we just got the feeling we weren't welcomed and other customers seemed to get a more warm reception from observations.

We visit here regularly for both food and coffees. We often come a few hours and do some work. It’s a great atmosphere to sit in and we are never hurried out. The food is always excellent and the staff are always friendly and cheerful. The breakfast dishes are our favourites. Reasonably priced and plenty of options. We will continue our weekly visits, thanks to the staff for making it a lovely comfortable place to be!

Absolutely lovely food , drink, and service definitely going back.

Love this place. Beautiful food, staff and atmosphere. Great place to go when the sun makes an appearance. Good outside seating area with table service.

Breakfast on a Saturday, waited too long . Food cold must have been standing. No fresh fruit on the healthy breakfast bowl, so disappointing.

I've had the pleasure of visiting the Plaza multiple times and each time it never seizes to amaze me. The food is always top notch no matter what my children and I order and the friendliness of the staff is unmatched. I would highly recommend to anyone to pay it a visit as you will not be disappointed

First time I've been, called for brunch very impressed Sat inside very cosy ,staff friendly also prices were OK Also good outdoor seating and service. We'll worth a call 📞

Great place to pop in and do some work! ...WiFi the biz and Great wine

Brilliant service and great food. Stumbled upon this and I will definitely be going back.

Really lovely atmosphere, gorgeous food, and you can bring your dog, which is a plus.

Friendly staff, lovely hot fresh food!

Nice place for a drink in the evening

This is a local of mine, and I thoroughly recommend it to everyone, the food is amazing as well as the team of staff there!

So happy we found this place. Been for lunch and breakfast now and we love it. Food and coffees are lovely and the staff are absolutely wonderful! Dog friendly too which is always a plus!

Lovely place, friendly staff and yummy food

We always enjoyed a friendly welcome especially when we brought one of our dogs. Pizzas are great. One thing we miss after moving out the area.

Friendly staff quick service good food lots of choice. Even for vegetarian and vegan folk. Clean and tidy. Been a few times now always good here

Regular customers here now with the family +/- 🐕 Excellent food, service & atmosphere ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You simply must come to the Plaza! A delicious serving of fresh baked treats, fantastic food, great atmosphere, and top notch service. The staff are so lovely and friendly it feels like you’re popping to a friend’s house for dinner. If you’re looking for a bite to eat I cannot recommend this place more. My favourite restaurant on the Great Park! I will 100% be back for more x

Absolutely adore coming here - food is always delicious, staff is always welcoming and a good time is always had!!

An absolutely brilliant cafe. Excellent food, very good prices and the service is outstanding. I highly highly recommended you check it out.

They made my bday extra special..

Nice lunch with the family. Reasonably priced.

Great food great staff. Lovely place to go for a bite to eat.

Lovely local bistro, friendly staff. Dog friendly!

Had a delicious breakfast here on Sunday. Food was served quick, hot and it was really, really tasty. Can't wait to come back on Saturday to try the lunch menu. Perfect venue not just for local residents but as a stop off for anyone travelling along the A1. *****

Visited twice now and both times we've had a great experience. The staff are lovely, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is relaxing.

Absolutely love breakfast here! Staff are always so welcoming and friendly, the food is gorgeous and the coffee is great too.

Friendly welcoming staff with a real community feel about it we regularly enjoy food and drinks here with it being kid, dog and family friendly everyone is welcome there is a lovely outdoor heated area too. One of our favourites is Goats cheese and caramelised onion pizza but we have too many favourites to mention - choices for the kids is great too and if you haven’t got time to stay then they have take out too can’t recommend we are very lucky to have this little gem in our estate x

I'm not the most regular visitor, but have been quite a few times since opening. A very welcome addition to the area, just the right distance from home to walk, so guilt free cake or scone. Food is excellent with ample portions, not huge menu, but variety is good well prepared and presented , staff friendly and helpful. There is also an alcohol licence if you fancy a beer or glass of wine.

Visited today with a friend for lunch. Lovely friendly staff and good food. My husband loved the cheese and onion scones I took home for him. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Food was good for the price paid especially the milkshakes. Kids and dog friendly, seen dogs inside the cafe which not many places allow. There's a big space outside with outdoor sitting.

Wide variety of food and drinks on offer, with great service and a welcoming atmosphere.

Strong coffee, excellent service with awning and heater both sorted just for me. It was a rainy afternoon so no one else outside but with awning down and heater on it was a great coffee stop near the end of my ride.

Excellent Halloween party for the kids. Staff were so welcoming and helpful. Food was great. Kids (and mums) had the best time!

What a little gem. Lovely welcoming, cosy atmosphere. Staff lovely. Reasonable prices. Our new local favourite.

Had coffee soft drink and cake. Will be back for a meal soon.

Very very expensive but great food and service, and a great location

My friend and I visited the Plaza Cafe & Bistro with our babies. The staff were so welcoming and there was plenty of room for our push chairs. I really dislike cafes where the coffee is not up to standard but this is not one of them. The coffee was brilliant and well made. The food was well priced and delicious. I can’t wait to visit again. I feel like this will become a go to cafe where staff will take the time to get to know their regular customers.

Overall disappointed. To be honest, I think it's a great place for local residents to hang out with a glass of something & kids to run around

Excellent food and service. Had to wait a little for food being prepared fresh from scratch, and it was totally worth it.

Amazing service by an employee named poppy. Would go again.

Great food. Professional service. Lovely place to chill with a pint and cake or a relaxing lunch. 😃

Great palce to hang out with really lovely service - shout out to Jesen and Nathan! Food was good but could probably so with some salt and pepper to garnish (or something on the table for customers to do that themselves). Otherwise drinks were perfect :)

Visited this week and was very impressed. Love the vibe inside, very rustic and cosy. The service was brilliant, had a right laugh with the server (sorry, I didn't get your name) as we had him back and forth for a few things. All in all, a lovely place and amazing addition to Great Park! Can't wait to pop round and try out the beer garden at some point.

A lovely friendly bistro with great coffee and breakfast option. A lovely touch of a free Birthday treat for our friend Thank you we will be back soon

I visited here for the first time this weekend and it was superb. Such amazing coffee, food & service. I felt so comfortable and can't wait to make this my go-to new place.

Really lovely food, friendly staff, lovely and clean
