The best restaurants in North East

An amazing restaurant indeed with great ambience, perfect for any kind of dinner. Great hospitality.

ere allowed to bring our own fizz and they set the table with birthday decs and Prosecco glasses. Also put a candle in her dessert and sang happy birthday. Food was delicious as well. Definitely recommend

Probably the best sushi I have had outside of Japan. An unassuming little place with no alcohol license but with customers packed in tightly because they know this place is a gem. So many places these days over-do the sushi with garnishes, sauces etc. knowing that they’re destined for instagram. Instead this place serves sushi as it should be; simply fish and rice with the flavours and quality of ingredients doing the talking. The menu is great with a selection of fish rarely seen in other sushi restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic food, lovely selection for vegans and veggies and gluten free. Lovely staff. Will definitely visiting again when I'm out and about in mbro

Unreal pints, even more unreal staff. A must visit if you are in the Newcastle area. Truly something spectacular, I’m doubtful I’ll ever see such a place while I’m still alive!

Amazing food, lovely welcoming staff and great service. The food was 10/10 and the decor was beautiful. Will definitely be going again soon.

We sailed the Panama itinerary on our recent cruise and enjoyed every minute of it despite my nearly losing my left hand middle finger due to the heat swelling it so much my titanium ring had to be cut off with a diamond rotary cutter. My wife and I loved the slides, go carts, virtual gaming experience, spa, and most of the excursions. The entertainment shows were fab and the resident Temperature Band was top class with a fab singer. The dining options were very good and we used 5 of the specialty dining options with only one disappointment at the Italian Onda by Scarpatti restaurant where we both chose veal that was inedible, tough and sinewy, it let the ship down completely! We have booked for the new Viva next year in July around the Med, hope it's Italian is much better! Of the excursions, the best were in the more civilised areas of Mexico and the United States, the others took too long to reach by either coach, boat or truck and then we had no time left to enjoy the place we were going to before we had to get back on the transport to get back to the ship! We would suggest the cruise directors make sure better information is given out in future giving distance and times to reach the destination points. Our stateroom attendant was excellent and our stateroom was very comfortable with an adequate balcony. I got stuck in the middle of the fast slide due to wearing a rash vest and had to get out through an escape hatch, but went on it again without the vest and all went well. Sun loungers and sun umbrellas were plenty on the decks, and waiter Services were good. Overall a great hiday cruise, loved San Francisco stay at the end of the cruise too.

Very friendly service and good food. Sweet Petite brings a bit of class to the High Street in Sunderland city centre. I hole they do well.

Highly recommend the food as its hot fresh and delicious. Creamy chicken was lush, mixed grill and lamb casserole also out of this world. Sweet treats were moreish.

Top quality Turkish food and impeccable service! We even got to sample some of the new menu which sounds great! You won’t be disappointed. 10/10 experience!

I had scrambled egg and bacon, with toast and two Cappuccino’s it was excellent and they were very polite. Nothing was a bother

We arrived at the last minute but Nancy was kind enough to still serve us we had tea and cakes which were fantastic. (Most excellent as my husband says.) Danish apple cake and ginger and sweet potato cake. The café is clean, inviting, interesting with an array of any cake/dessert you could possibly fancy. We didn't even have time to look at the furniture and other arty items so will have to go again when we come back on holiday. Nancy is so nice and hospitable.

Massive selection of the best tea. But you can get a great coffee too. Lovely food and cakes as well. Welcoming staff. Highly recommend - there’s nothing else like it in Newcastle or Gateshead.

Lovely overnight stay. Beautiful room with complimentary toiletries. We had our evening meal and breakfast, both of an incredibly high standard. The best burgers to be had! Friendly, attentive staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Not our first stay here and it won’t be our last. Thank you!

This place is a totally fantastic! Do not miss out on the 'Kipper in a Bun'. I wavered, and thought to maybe have a 'Banger in a Bun' although was so glad I went with the Kipper. Perfectly cooked Kippers, Lemon mayonnaise, in a soft white roll eaten on the beach was just divine. Wife's comments were 'That was Lush!'. Great friendly service and all locally sourced delicious produce. Even the coffee was from Holly Island! All in a free car park!
