The best restaurants in North Tyneside North East

We went on my birthday as a family. We had two boys aged 12 and 10 years old and three adults. We opted for a starter each and a main course each. The steak I had was very tender and just right for how I had ordered it. It had a nice salad with it and I had a side of chips to go with it. It was very tasty. The other adults enjoyed their choices and the boys liked their choices too. The food arrived hot and tasty in a reasonable time. Great experience.

The meals were as expected, chips were outstanding, lasagne was very good, the stotie bread specials were average. Service was ok but not very attentive. Difficult to move due to proximity of next table. Disappointed overall.

Fantastic breakfast, excellent catering for gluten free. High standards. Excellent customer service. Thank you. We'll be back.

Visiting the Salt House for Sunday Lunch with family and friends was the best choice made. There was a very warm and friendly welcome from the staff on entering the restaurant and, this carried on throughout the whole time we were there. A great atmosphere within the restaurant, along with a menu to suit a variety of peoples tastes and cooked to perfection went down a treat. The restaurant was busy but, we never felt rushed and food was delivered in a timely manner. We will certainly be returning and thanks goes to the hosts Mark and Shelley and, of course their hard working staff for making our experience one of the best we have had as a group.

Visited this afternoon to have a coffee to warm up having walked from Whitley Bay. Found the staff friendly and efficient. The mince pies were delicious as we're the drinks. Highly recommended!

This is a great bakers. High quality cakes and pastries with delicious bread. Worth a visit. Staff lovely too. Currently to seating as some refurbishment going on.

Great little spot with lovely food and great service, would recommend as one of the best eats i've tried so far in north shields. Will be back with a bottle of wine next time since it's BYOB

We are constantly impressed with No Fret. We brought some visiting friends here for lunch and they were equally impressed. Three of us had the burrito and all of us commented on how fantastic it was. Our friends even went and ordered more food including the Welsh Rarebit. Curious as to what was in it (they’re Polish) the owner gladly explained the ingredients which made the experience even better.

Great little place, hosted my sisters 60th birthday, was a great night

A nice small cafe serving excellent coffee/tea and a handsome scone. The tables are arranged in an open square room in a functional way so it couldn't be described as cosy. But it's a pleasant enough place with very friendly staff. A little off the beaten track for Whitley Bay centre, but if you're in the area, it's worth stopping off.

Booked Whitley Bay Vineyard for a 50th birthday gathering for family and friends. Was perfect venue. Great food on very impressive grazing table. Really friendly and helpful bar staff. Management could not have been more helpful in the booking. Guests thought venue was lovely. Would highly recommend. Excellent.

After reading previous reviews about Thirteen we turned up today for lunch after a walk along the coast . We had coffee , chicken panini and avocado on sour dough . Lovely people , excellent food at a very reasonable price . Thank you Thirteen , we will be back .

Beware as Google maps told us it was closed on Saturdays but it is open. It's a lovely bright space, comfortable for hours of chat without feeling you should leave! Good menu choices. Coffee was good. Friendly service. A great find!

Have used The Kitchen many times but tried the Sunday Lunch for the first time last weekend. As we live near we collected rather than use the delivery service. The meals were cooked to perfection, nice and hot, fresh veg, crispy Yorkies and loads of meat, we had one chicken meal and one beef meal. Meat was tasty and lean. We were very impressed and will definitely be using again for Sunday Lunch

as the name implies it is a dog-friendly cafe for humans, they do an all-day breakfast and sandwiches also cakes, for dogs they do various dog treats and ice cream. they will also organise a doggie birthday party, ask them for details. there is a playpen for dogs
