ChezGiven 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) Was me Dad's birthday the other day and i am back in Newcastle for a few days this weekend, going to the match etc and wanted to take the folks out somewhere good on saturday night (feeling guilty, not seen them since last christmas). Would any of you fine people like to recommend somewhere good? I know the place at the top of the Baltic is meant to be good but i reckon that'll be fully booked. Any suggestions?

Guest alex Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 What kind of thing? The one at the Live Theatre is nice btw, but I think that's the same people as Cafe 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good food, good wine, good service, not too bothered about price. Also not too full of young uns (ages are late 50s and early 60's). Cafe 21, on the quayside??

Was just about to post something similar. We could have all made our suggestions, then he could have turned his nose up at them for being 'plebby'. Think you're right about the one at the Baltic Chez, it always used to be booked way in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 36081 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 If you do a search for Restaurants and his user name you'll probably get some decent recommendations tbf to him, as I reckon he's pretty particular about his dining from the fucking SIZE of him.

The Fish 9313 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Francescas in Jesmond used to be great, dunno what it's like now. Living Room is nice, but exspensive, Bar Luga does some nice food.... apart from that Est Est Est, La Tasca and that curry place on Pudding Shair.. can't remember it's name.

Francesca's is still spot on, but you still can't book and just have to queue. Est, Est, Est is just another chain-type place imo.

JawD 31 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The one I usually recommend is La Riviera opposite Buffalo Joes on the quayside. Great food, great wines, good service and good atmosphere. Not the cheapest but its worth paying the little extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 36081 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Rockafella is nice and has the added bonus of having Hell's Kitchen on on a loop on a telly in the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The Baltic is nice and I thought the food at Appartment was excellent but of course your in a busy bar so you get the noise from that. Paradiso above Popolo is excellent and the new one next door (Seco) should be good as it's owned by the same family but I've never ate there. If you like Chinese, Mandalay in Jesmond is superb. The Black Door is supposed to be good and they now have on at the Biscuit Factory too. The Barn Again have now moved to Jesmond but they used to be good at the biscuit factory too. I really like Azuri for an Italian. Oh and Malmaison was one of the best meals I've ever had when I went there. We spent a small fortune on wine too all of which was superb.
