Rebel in Newcastle upon Tyne

Excellent food and service. A bit out of the way but worth the walk. Tasting menu was just right and cocktails were just right!

Wonderful food with a relaxed atmosphere. Service was very friendly and welcoming! Wonderful evening. We’ll be back

A great restaurant for a special occasion. A wonderful tasting menu with superb flavours. They catered well for a food intolerance (which we informed them about in good time). The pace of the evening and pauses between courses was spot on and the service was friendly and cheerful. A relaxed atmosphere to enjoy great food and wine.

Went to Rebel tonight for my birthday meal and was completely blown away. Service was so kind, friendly and attentive, Food was stunning and so much thought and attention had clearly gone into each course. Also loved the relaxed, informal vibe of Rebel, accompanied by a banging playlist! Can’t wait to return soon, thanks guys!

I feel for them on this as they really tried and the food was fantastic - but unfortunately there was a catalogue of issues. When we turned up they’d lost our booking, this was quickly rectified but then they’d ran out of the scallop course, and then ran out of the cheese course. Not what you expect from a fine dining experience.

What a great place. Staff were fantastic, food was brilliant and wine pairing definitely worth it. Would definitely recommend a visit. Enjoy..!

Had a great meal there last night. A bit out of the way but worth finding. Young team on service and in the kitchen had everything well organised and pace of the meal was good. A few influences from around the world. Food was very tasty and well presented. For the price point you get more than you pay. Thanks all and hope to be back soon

Absolutely loved our evening here, everything was faultless! Lovely relaxed atmosphere, and the service food and wine were all 10/10, one of the best value tasting menus in Newcastle :)

Wonderful restaurant, relaxed atmosphere, impeccable service with a selection of very interesting wines ! Definitely recommend !

The tasting lunchtime menus was stupendous. Stand out dishes were venison wrapped in beetroot, beignet and English Brie. We had the wine flight too and loved all the wines. Rhubarb and ginger martini was very good too. Service was excellent friendly and informal. Definitely won’t be my last visit.

If you love great dining experiences, this is one not to miss. Every dish was surprising and exciting. The wine pairing matched the food excellently whilst being independently interesting. The service was impeccable, despite our booking being a big table with a few dietary requirements. I've been to a few Michelin Stars, including a 3 star venue, and this was easily up to the same level. If you want to treat a loved one (or just yourself) run, don't walk!

The experience in Rebel is definitely the journey of story telling. Rebel tells you the story what is home sweet home. You don’t need to know too much because it will ..Happy , relax and you are home to relax. Of course the environment could be better and they will I am sure… Was it over price ? For cerebration is good to spoil yourself and another special half . £90 Pairing with the wine it was bring you to heaven like. For daily of course expensive, that’s why they have half menu £45 too for lunch. because you are dare to go there every month. I had been Rebel 5 times since 2022. All for special occasions.

Beautiful 10 course tasting menu - exquisitely presented, in very relaxed surroundings

Amazing tasting menu experience - on par with Michelin stars I've been to. Wine pairings were very well thought out and interesting. Service was perfect and friendly. All dietary requirements catered to. The malt and fig dessert is seared into my memory forever.

Had an amazing birthday meal tonight at Rebel, the food and hospitality was fantastic, so many different courses to choose from, it's hard to say which one was the best! Thank you so much team Rebel.

This wasn't just a meal but an experience to remember. Truly remarkable food and service with a welcoming atmosphere.

A great meal food and service were both amazing! ♥️

We had the Taster Menu with the wine pairing and really enjoyed it. The staff were great and explained each dish and also about the matching wines. The service was top notch. Really recommended.

I had such an amazing experience at Rebel! My family and I celebrated our Mother’s 70th birthday here, and the staff made it a truly special event. The food was phenomenal, the staff were attentive and created such a friendly relaxed atmosphere. It was an evening to cherish. Thank you Rebel.

What an amazing place! The food is extraordinary, the service exemplary and the vibe brilliant. The staff couldn't have done more to make our evening for our mums birthday any better. You have to try this lovely restaurant! Really interesting flavours accompanied with a brilliantly thought through wine flight and the best people. Everybody in our group had the most amazing time coooooing and ooooooing through every course which is presented beautifully and described masterfully by the staff. If there's one place I would go next on a foodie adventure it's is definitely Rebel!

Such a great experience. Loved everything.

Rebel did not hit the heights we expected for £90 a head. The service was fine except for not being able to identify which dishes were vegetarian which is fairly crucial when you have a vegetarian. Some very average dishes, some nice dishes. I would say if this was £50/60 a head that would be more suitable. Atmosphere was good.

Beautiful food , but the service was subpar at best , waited 40 mins between the starter snacks and the 2nd course , only reason it ended up arriving was cause of complaint. Was informed was because of "miscommunication to the kitchen" if this admittedly very talented kitchen wishes to achieve a michelin rosette or star it needs to improve in this regard. Lovely food but overall very disappointing service (we had a round of drinks removed from our bill for the bad service) without asking!

A superb tasting menu with a fantastic British wine pairing to go alongside. Easily one of the top restaurants in the North East. I will look forward to returning soon!

An absolutely fantastic dining experience! As a self proclaimed ‘foodie’ and more importantly eater this was a treat. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Excellent at every turn. Our sommelier (who happens to be the co-owner) was so knowledgeable and friendly. The service was great and we felt well treated. Go here! Immediately!

Really great food, really great drinks, really great service. Michelin Star level.

Great Food! Well worth trying on special occasions. 👍 - 10 courses that were beautiful and tasted incredible. - Friendly and relaxed service 👎 - The wine menu: At restaurants I base my wine choices off Vivino reviews and there wasn't a bottle of red under £50 rated over 3.5* so I just stuck to beer. - The music was a little all over the place without a set ambience but we rather enjoyed it.

Amazing food couldn't fault it and great service as well. Definitely an experience to cherish and remember. It's a whole night's activity. Lasts over 2 hours (10 dish evening tasting course). Great place for a date night as well if you want to splash out.

Amazing meal. Couldn't fault it. Loved every dish. Drinks were lovely, especially the cocktails. The food was exceptional and it felt like good value for money. Would definitely come back. Thanks for a great meal.

Beautifully decorated and very calming atmosphere. The menu is planned with thoughts and very well executed. The front of the house are very knowledgeable and take pride of their work and what they serve. Well done to you all. Can’t wait for the next visit.

Second visit to this hidden gem. First visit was for dinner and second visit was for lunch. My wife and i travelled from Chester-le-Street to Heaton. On both occasions we opted for the 10 course tasting menu, the latest menu we tried was Rebel's summer menu. Both menus were absolutely fanstastic, expertly designed, cleaverly constructed, each course an explosion of flavour and every dish looked beautiful, indeed very artistic. The chef Lindsay (owner) and his team delivered exactly what we expected. We will definitely be back for a 3rd time and more..... We were very lucky on both occasions to be looked after front of house by Rosey (owner). Rosey is an expert at what she does, very knowledgeable, and absolutely 100% cares about customer service. Its not just the food here that makes it a great day/night out, its the ambience that they create. The decor, lighting and music are just so very perfect. We fully recommend visiting this restaurant. Thank you very much to the team at Rebel. Gav & Liz

Absolutely outstanding! One of the best dining experiences we’ve had for a long time. From the intricately thought out menu to the beautiful British wine pairings. One of us had the vegetarian option and there was just as much care and attention that had gone into the dishes. Everything was perfect, can’t wait to go back to try another seasonal menu. Thank you to the whole Rebel team!

Absolutely amazing fine dining experience! Every detail was perfectly executed- a lot of thought, expertise and love gone into this menu/food. Would highly recommend!

One of our favourite meals ever - amazing food, beautifully presented. Special mention to the sommelier who was superb - she was as creative pairing the wines as the chef was creating the food! The (English) wines were really interesting and well paired and she talked us through them with real passion and knowledge. It really added a huge amount to the meal. Thank you!

Been to this place a fair few times from the greedy gannet to picking up Sunday dinners during lockdown! always had a great experience until now … The food itself was very full of flavour and presented fantastically in their usual style, however a few of main dishes were served barely warm and both the pork and venison were just luke warm. (Other tables also brought this to their attention) The waitress sits us down and explains the drink menu, The drinks menu has quite a large selection of wines but only 3 non alcoholic drinks, not excluding coffee, please add Coke or something similar to the menu it’s not that much of a ask! We made the reservation for 2 people, but then changed it to 4 but unfortunately 2 of the guest dropped out earlier in the day but I called and give them notice and their response was “Thank you for letting us know, and we look forward to seeing you soon” no mentions of cancellation policy’s that was until the bill came and without any prior notice they added and additional £80 cancellation fee to the bill. Now I don’t mind having a small cancellation fee but £80 is surely over the top without explaining the policy until the end. The final nail in the coffin was one of the owner’s personal conduct. when she explained the bill and the many empty chairs in the restaurant and simply walked away when questioned about the cancellation policy charge. I simply paid and left and won’t be back! Wish I had just cancelled the whole evening and saved myself £250 My advise if you’re looking for something similar I would book a table at Peace and Loaf it’s cheaper and you get more value for money!

Fabulous place. We had the tasting menu, everything was perfect.. We’ll definitely be back to try a different menu. Nice atmosphere with great staff.

Fantastic meal, thoroughly enjoyed the food, with only a couple of exceptions. The menu really felt like it brought out the best of otherwise simple ingredients. The service was great as well. The drinks menu could've had a few more non-wine options, but it was okay. Will surely be coming back.

Loved it! The food was delicious and the service was great. Its a tasting menu, but not the biggest one I have had, so if you have a big appetite it may not be enough, however I found it perfect for me. Would definitely recommend.

This place is amazing. Food is fantastic and its a nice to have such a great restaurant in Heaton. All the food was full of flavour and the lady that served us was very happy and really looked after us well. Myself and my mam ate ate there on Saturday lunchtime and it was nice to have the option to eat at this kind of restaurant during the day. It was a wonderful experience also. We will be back and can highly recommend to anyone. Presentation of food was great also. Well done.

Nice corner, good atmosphere, food was generally tasty. My main dish was far too salty though, and the tiramisu was pretty flavourless. Nice menu and some tasty dishes with good vegetarian options, but the portions were inadequate. Even three courses didn't really fill me up, the main courses are just too small, only as big as a small starter elsewhere. I'm not a big guy but it was just not enough food. A final minor gripe, they do not sell wine by the glass, so I had to choose beer, as my partner was driving and it was of course a week night. Expect to pay £25pp plus drinks. Three stars, but with a few little tweaks it would sail to five.

Incredible food. Even better service.

Faultless. Very interesting dishes, some of the best I've ever had.

Had the most amazing tasting menu with wine pairing tonight at Rebel-a real hidden gem -puts many so called Michelin contenders to shame at a reasonable price. Love it! We will definitely be back. Bill & Anna

The best up and coming restaurant in Newcastle. The food was absolutely amazing, I wasn’t a fan of fish and they were more than happy to accommodate with partial vegetarian dishes. I’d definitely recommend the addition of the potato course! The service was fantastic, wonderful attentive staff who made sure we were looked after. If you’re looking for a true fine-dining experience in Newcastle, with locally sourced produce at fantastic value, this is the restaurant for you. Will absolutely be back again.

Highly recommend for anyone who loves good food. Brilliant atmosphere, top quality service and the chef’s set menu is perhaps the best in Newcastle.

This was my first experience of a tasting menu and I genuinely wasn't sure how I'd enjoy it. We arrived at Rebel Which is a discreet shop front on Heaton Road. Entering we found a warm pleasant, laid back little restaurant, with chunky tables, and welcoming staff. The concept is simple. You don't order anything except drinks. I had a lovely rose and my partner had a cracking little bottle of craft beer. The server, ours was a really pleasant lad called Jack, brings out a tiny little beautiful piece of food, tells you what it is, says enjoy, and leaves you to eat it. In all we had 9 I think, or 10 courses. The service was exceptional and slick. A work of art appeared, a professional explanation and then everything was whiskey away. Like stage management. The food. I'm not going to lie. Some of it I really didn't like the taste of. But isn't that the point, and it's subjective. It was like visiting a food art gallery where I could see the talent and skill. But wouldn't have it hanging on my wall. The mushroom turned out to be a small pot of warm liquid. Absolutely gorgeous and teamed up with fresh butter and warm sour dough. The pork was melt in the mouth beautiful and the blackberry was a round of sweetness tartness that finished the meal off beautifully. Pastry was so crisp and thin you'd think elves had made it and the caramelised beetroot on the venison was paper thin . " how've they got it like that?" I asked my boyfriend. It was a fantastic evening. Different tastes and textures to explore. Questions to ask Annie and Alex the ever attentive servers( who answered all my ridiculous questions with knowledge and prifessionalism). Immaculate toilets (always important) clean cutlery and a really chilled laid back vibe. I wasn't expecting to enjoy the evening, I thought I'd need a sandwich when I got home but I had a great time and felt like I'd eaten. I'll definitely go back to see what little works of art they serve up on their next menu. Definitely try this if you haven't before go with somone you like. Or yourself ! Because you'll be there a couple of hours and it's worth taking the time to enjoy it all.

We had a fantastic meal here, amazing and creative food, attentive and friendly service in a lovely and warm environment. The food was such a treat, small plates that were packed with flavour and adventure, loved every one of them. The char siu pork took top spot for me, followed closely by the bass with a smoked crust, both utterly delicious! The slight disappointment was only getting one cheese with the optional cheese plate, I would’ve expected a variety of 2-3 cheeses but it was a very nice cheese in the end. All in all, Rebel offers an inventive, fine dining experience at a very reasonable price . It’s well worth a visit! Grab a table while they’re still easy to book.

What an amazing place. Really tastefully decorated, very friendly and knowledgeable staff and simply delicious food. We will be going back!

Best food I've ever had, exquisite and the service so friendly and helpful

Reserve now. Read later. The restaurant's design is simple, stylish and chic. The food is top level, creative and a true delight. The waiters are professional, knowledgable and attentive. The menu doesn't give many details away so neither will I, but a full description is given when each course is served. With a few surprise courses, a lovely drinks pairing (not just wine - beer and cider are paired too) and a great value set menu at £50 (£57 including potato and cheese) this has been my favourite way to spend an evening out in 2022 so far. The menu is seasonal, which is more than enough excuse to come at least 4 times a year.

Had an amazing meal here with family recently. The food was beautiful and delicious. Highly recommended.

Wonderful fine dining experience and lovely relaxed vibe. Thanks for a special evening to all at Rebel.

Amazing food with a lot of variety in flavour and texture. We also had the wine pairings which worked brilliantly. The individual portions are small as to be expected but there were several dishes, including some unlisted on the menu, which meant we left feeling full and very satisfied. Can't recommend enough!

We had a fantastic evening, lovely food and lovely staff. Thank you so much

We were a bit nervous given the surroundings but Rebel is lovely inside, tasting menu and drinks pairing were brilliant as were the cocktails. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and the whole experience was great value for money. Will definitely be back soon

Tastebud extravaganza! we were all blown away by our meal at Rebel. It was an incredible food experience. So many new and interesting foods to try. Little pieces of cooked pine cones, decorated our starter along with beautiful purple chive flowers. Sea Buckthorn puree, a stunning colour and taste adorned the mackerel. It was like Christmas, you didn't know what exciting delight was going to come out next. The lamb melted in our mouths, the "Marsh mallow" was like taking a bite out of a sweet, juicy cloud, the pigs cheeks had an amazing depth of flavour. There are many things I discovered that they didn't tell us. The chefs smoke the fish themselves on the premises, the vast majority of the food is organic, locally sourced, seasonal and sustainably produced. Every detail is made from scratch. This is a fabulous place and we can't wait to go back.

From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed and looked after by all the staff. The setting feels cozy and somewhere I'd consider going to relax and experience great food after a long week. Every course had me wanting more. The flavours were paired perfectly and each dish felt like a piece of art. I am looking very forward to coming again.

One of the best local restaurants around. Great food laid back vibe. Contemporary feel. Seriously good value for money.

First time visit to this relatively new restaurant near to Heaton Park in Newcastle. Astonishing flavours and experience for both the carnivore and the vegetarian. Cleverly constructed small plates combine to make this tasting menu sing in complete harmony. I was blessed by the mushrooms on toast and sublime (and veggie) marshmallow, both absolute triumphs.

Amazing food, particularly for the price we paid. Gorgeous interior and lovely, friendly service. Will be back!

Managed to book a table after reading about the opening in the Chronicle, little gem of a restaurant tucked away in Heaton with a set menu for a set price. Great flavours and textures definitely worth a visit. The service was outstanding quick to assist and answer dumb questions or offer their suggestions on the right beverage to accompany the meal.

Excellent quality food, professionally served in comfortable surroundings. Always a warm welcome from the lovely Rosie! Looking forward to coming back! ❤️

First things first - please note that you can't pay cash; it has to be by card. Next - note that it is a fixed menu. It is not cheap so do not expect to pay as if it were a fast food restaurant. The location is tricky to find if you are not familiar with Newcastle. Street parking is plentiful. The ambience is good in the restaurant. It was full on our visit - a Tuesday evening. Quirky drinks menu and though not extensive was reasonably well covered. Food portions are as would be expected for a taster menu - thus not huge. Food presentation was excellent. Food flavours were varied and enjoyable. Fish, lamb and pork were the main parcels - all quite tasty. The rhubarb & custard dessert a high point. Will we go again? Probably, but will wait for the summer change of menu.

Go there now. Immense wine list and amazing food.

Excellent dining experience. Beautifully presented food and fantastic tastes. Highly recommended. Can't wait to go again!

Beautiful meal, great staff and an incredible experience- an absolute hidden gem! Would definitely recommend

Amazing staff who are super personable, delicious food presented beautifully, both meat and vegetarian options equally thought through. Couldn’t recommend more for the price! Plus amazing natural wines!!

This was one of the best meals I have ever had for the price. Beautiful atmosphere, great staff and excellent food. They went the extra mile to serve for my allergies and every dish was delicious. Would 100% recommend!

Welcoming Professional Talented Delicious Would definitely go back 100%

Amazing food and wine in a beautiful restaurant with a lovely neighbourhood feel. Will definitely be back!
