The best restaurants in Newcastle upon Tyne North East

Visited 09/11/24. This is a lovely place to eat. The staff were extremely friendly. We had to wait a while for our table, but our server explained that it was unusually busy and that the drinks we ordered while we waited were now on the house... as were the small aperitifs they served us shortly after. The food was delicious, and I do mean all of it, even the ingredients I normally wouldn't touch with a barge pole. We had a lovely meal, and the staff were extremely considerate and knowledgeable of my partner's coeliac condition. The issue began once we got home when, shortly before bed may partner started being violently ill. She's coeliac as I said, so sometimes this does happen even in the most careful of kitchens, unfortunate but understandable cross-contamination - or so I thought. Not an hour later I was also violently ill, and our condition continued in to much of the following day. If I was to guess, I think the issue was the "That Chicken Pie", which was the only dish we both had. We ordered off the Set Menu (50% cheaper than the usual Saturday menu) which normally isn't available on Saturday, but due to a typo on their website, we believed was available (they let us order from it without batting an eye - as I said, really lovely people and fantastic service). That dish isn't available on the tasting menu used on Saturdays so if there was a complication, I imagine that's where it was.

For the love of god fix the aircon in here. The temperature is not safe for your hard-working staff.

What a gem of a place! Lovely service and great selection of sandwich fillings. One Iggy's Smokey Cokey and one Local Hero. They also have a selection of cakes including some from Cake Stories.

Not a coffee only shop. Visited on a Tuesday morning, did not recognise the young lady behind the counter so no reason to believe she would recognise me. We have frequently called in over the last couple of years. There were a couple of free tables but we're told they were not serving "coffee only". I suppose they would rather have people eating breakfast, understandable but rather a short term outlook. Next week the place may be empty and they would love my business but they will not be seeing us again. Good luck if that is your policy.

Great prices for such a high quality of food. Burgers and fries are always top notch, also comes with a good selection of sauces and dips. Desserts look great, and there's always a great special on the menu.

Had the breakfast menu veggie tacos. Very yummy especially the hash browns. Good for if you want something a bit different to the usual breakfast/brunch places. Food was cooked well and fresh.

A very relaxed and delicious lunch with a friend. Would definitely return. Service couldn't have been better

Lovely food, will be ordering again

Whilst the food is tasty, the service has let this place down. We’ve been before, hence we know that the food is good. However, we tried to go recently and we were told of a 40 minute despite there being an empty table. After waiting for 10 minutes, we were told that the card machine doesn’t work and we must have cash. The head waitress was rude, and made us feel like we weren’t wanted in the restaurant. Chilli Padi up the road has much better customer service to match the tasty food. Make the walk up the road, it’s worth it!

Fantastic small cafe with a small but varied menu for all your cafe wants. With a great looking interior and small outdoor section, the service was friendly and warm with a calming atmosphere for a bite to eat. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a light lunch and a place to chat.

By far the best deli in town. Really tasty food, lots of options to select from, fast and polite service. Also, as a coffee addict who spends way too much money for good coffee, I strongly endorse their cappuccino.

New menu, good fresh food. Great staff

Lovely meal and great friendly staff

I eat A LOT of Asian food, have done for over 40 years in many countries and I can tell you that this place is special. The whole experience was delightful. Highly recommended.

Unreal fish and chips worth travelling for
