The Broad Chare is a renovated pub in Newcastle upon Tyne, featuring an oak bar, painted brick walls, and stripped wood floors. Under the ownership of former pro-golfer James Close, it has been transformed into a renowned restaurant with rooms. The establishment offers a 15-course menu that includes locally sourced ingredients and dishes like Lindisfarne oyster poached at 62 degrees and pork tacos. The pub seamlessly blends traditional British pub ambiance with innovative culinary experiences.
Hear me out. Get yourself the Halibut and a cherry Liefmans belgian beer and you'll have a great time. The beer was more toward a sparkling wine than a beer and it paired amazingly with the fish which was cooked to perfection. We also had the rump steak burger which was good value for money and again cooked perfectly but nothing amazing. Deserts were also good but not needed. For atmosphere and staff it's an easy5/5.

Little bit of a gushy review but I can hands down say this is my absolute favourite place to eat in town! My partner and I have been frequently in the past few years and have never been served anything less than perfection! Service is absolutely outstanding with knowledgeable and attentive staff and the food……superlative! Fish dishes; fresh, well balanced and delicious and oh my word the lamb sharing main 🤤 just make sure you don’t eat for 24 hours beforehand if you want to finish it (although the staff are very happy to wrap up for you too). All in all, outstanding! Can’t wait for my next outing to The Broad Chare 😊

Walking around quayside me and Mrs decided to stop for a beer and a few bar snacks. Looking at the snack menu and the beer on offer I knew we had come to the right place. We decided on scotch eggs, pork pie and monkfish cheeks, all of which came fairly quickly and were all beautiful. Special mention for the tartare sauce with the monkfish cheeks. Great friendly staff have to be mentioned as well. We rounded things off by buying gift vouchers for family members for Xmas these vouchers cover several restaurant partners. Thank you Broad Chare

Absolutely wonderful experience here. Staff attentive but relaxed, great vibe & fantastic food. High recommend. Wish I’d taken more photos. This was the Butchers Steak in green peppercorn sauce! Delicious 🙏

Absolute best Sunday roast I've had since moving up here a year ago. We ordered the veggie roast which came with bubble and squeak; pork belly and the beef. Everything was flavoured beautifully and the roast potatoes were incredible. Definitely coming back

Pros: Good selection of beers, scotch egg, haggis on toast is an interesting take. Cons: Too pricey for what they offer. Fish cake was too dry, only mediocre at best. "Grilled calf liver" wasn't grilled, but pan fried (though it was delicious, nevertheless). Green leaves in the salad weren't properly washed, you could see the dirt on some of them. Attention to detail was lacking, overall ("luxury soap" bottle in the toilet was refilled with some cheap washing liquid that you can hardly rinse off, etc.). Michelin list brought us here, but I regretted the visit. I hope this was a one off incident, and they are doing better generally.

Amazing food and service - the bar snacks (monkfish cheeks and cauliflower fritters pictured) and roasts (topside of beef and pork belly) were exceptional!

Calf liver was really good and tasty, but the portion size should be bigger for a main. It’s only two slices of liver and the rest is kale and mash.

Restaurant
Nestled in the Ouseburn Valley, Cook House is a charming bistro housed in two converted shipping containers. Run by Anna Hedworth, also known as the Grazer, this casual eatery offers a delightful menu for breakfast and lunch on weekdays. The cozy interior features eggshell-blue patio furniture and a wood-burning chimney, creating a homely atmosphere.
We visited the Cook house about a month ago. My missus and I are both vegetarian, so we tried pretty much everything off the menu, as they serve small plates. The food was fantastic, really tasty and full of goodness. It’s really nice to have some veggie dishes that are a bit different from everywhere else, made with fresh ingredients, and Paack full of flavour. We went for lunch and it wasn’t too busy when we arrived, it’s highly recommended. Although getting a pram up upstairs was a bit tricky, but one of the waiters helped us. We will definitely be back.

The food is undeniably well cooked, well thought out, nicely presented and I believe locally sourced. There's not much info on the menu I could see though (other than a bakery) advising where the chicken, beef or veg is from, so you just have to go the assumption it is? For me the price point/portion sizes are out of whack, in July 2025 it was £11 for the 2 croquettes pictured. The chicken salad at the same price had the most meagre portion of chicken I have ever seen, it would have equated to a single thigh or a third of a chicken breast. Cookhouse have done incredibly well from their humble origins, all credit to them but I won't be returning as it is overpricing its dishes in my opinion.

Wonderfully thought-out menu with locally and internationally farmed and foraged produce. Interesting flavour combinations with both Asian and Mediterranean influences. Fresh ingredients and the quality speaks for itself. The Menu is created daily and the selection is guaranteed to please any palate.

We had an exceptional lunch out on the terrace, enjoying the last of the summer sun. What a great place, attentive but chill service, and great food across the board. Fresh, light salads with great flavour throughout. The chocolate terrine to finish was a delight.

Came here with my parents to celebrate my graduation and had the nicest time! The food and drinks were both interesting and delicious, my favourites were the tempura cauliflower starter and the clarified Bloody Mary which was completly clear in colour! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great quality while pretty casual dinner.

Expensive but it is fine dining Food was delicious, home baked bread to start was a nice touch. Service brilliant Service charge added to bill Would recommend However portions are small think you need 3 courses to ensure you don't leave hungry.

Modern British restaurant
House of Tides is a renowned restaurant located in a remote 19th-century drovers inn, now transformed into a destination restaurant with rooms. The dining room is filled with natural light and features exposed beams, creating an inviting atmosphere for savoring gourmet British cuisine and tasting menus. The chef, James Close, showcases his culinary expertise by sourcing local ingredients and offering a 15-course menu that takes diners on a global gastronomic journey.
Absolutely incredible service and atmosphere from one of Newcastle's few Michelin starred restaurants (one of the others being its sister- Solstice, both by Kenny Atkinson). The staff were attentive and passionate about the food, restaurant and city. The building itself is full of olden charm and allows the vibe to be high-end but unpretentious. The drinks/wine list was long and plentiful with the option to add a pairing to your tasting menu. The menu itself was fresh, delicious, seasonal and without fault. We opted for the extra course of langoustine and scallop agnlotti which was incredible. My other favourite dish would be the ceviche which was also plated beautifully. On the whole, exceptional and I'll most definitely be heading back or to Solstice when I'm next back in the motherland.

I came with my parents for my birthday and firstly the staff were super accommodating to my mums food preferences which are admittedly quite confusing. They were also super attentive and friendly. Our cocktails were lovely and the food was incredible with generous portions. They packed up all our leftovers very neatly in a bag, didn’t rush us and made our time special. I especially thought the chicken dish was delicious and my mum loved the mandolin dessert. Obviously on the pricey side but worth a visit for a treat. The pictures don’t show all the courses, just a few.

Fancy food rather than fine dining. So incredibly disappointing. Off to a very bad start when 3 seperate staff approached our table to ask if we'd like to order. Another 2 came and asked if we wanted drinks! We ordered a drink and waited - and waited - finally the waitress appeared and went to the wrong table. Then wandered around and went back to the bar. We waited! Eventually with drinks the food came. We had the tasting menu - only it wasn't a tasting menu - a roast chicken dinner or steak (at an extra £50). The first few courses were tasty but nothing extraordinary. Then the Tatar and confit egg - well - a hard boiled egg! It was replaced with apologies but for this kind of money it just wasn't good enough. The evening was saved by Conor - the Irish waiter. Knowledgeable, funny and very good at his job. We were given a discount and a free drink. I would say we had a good time in spite of the place rather than because of it. Could not recommend it on any level. Apparently it had a Michelin Star - once... It's definitely slipped since then.

I have been looking forward to coming here for years. Having worked hospitality and eaten at a lot Michelin restaurants around the world, I had great expectations. You go to restaurants like this for the experience - it’s about the ‘theatre’ - the attention to detail of the wait staff/service, the menu/food/flavours and of course the ambience. While the food was lovely and the staff were friendly - I felt the restaurant doesn’t know what it is. I left feeling that it was a nice dinner - but not to the level that it sells itself as. Service - there was a lack of attention to detail. For instance, we had to top our own water up, we had to ask what the dishes were that we were being served and no one thought about giving us our coats at the end of the night - we had to ask several staff. The prices paid at a restaurant like this, you just can’t switch off - which sadly happened on this Saturday night. Any other restaurant I wouldn’t care - but a Michelin restaurant I expect more. Food - was lovely and very tasty. There were no flavours or combinations that I thought were life changing. There was no amuse-bouche - but the cod and beef were nice. The flavours of the cabbage side with the beef was the most memorable. The wine list was fine - however it is served to you on an iPad which did kind of ruin the ambience of the dinner to look and scroll on an iPad. Ambience - lovely old building - but again I felt there were simple wins that were missed. Staff didn’t split the tables up, so while the restaurant was only half full, they sat us all next to each other and left half of it empty which was odd. The music was also random. Billy Joel, modern pop and not what I would call background music. Lastly, these restaurants tend to be for special occasion destinations. For us it was our 11 year anniversary. When you tell staff they usually make a fuss, or plate your desert with happy anniversary written in chocolate or something random. While it may feel naff - it is important to remember that restaurants like this specialise in ‘special occasion’ dinning. Again, even while knowing it was our anniversary I couldn’t help feeling a bit unloved because nothing was done to make us feel special at all. Not a big deal, but again this is not a normal restaurant, which is reflected in its price. And then the bill came out with a £59 tip automatically put on it (15%). A bit excessive - I wouldn’t normally mind paying it if the service was great - but it was ordinary. I paid it anyway - but I did leave the night with a bad taste in my mouth. So yeah all in all disappointing. If this was a restaurant like 21 - I wouldn’t haven’t have felt the same way - however I wouldn’t have just blowing £450 on a dinner for two.

Fantastic meal, it was quiet (Friday afternoon) but the food and staff were excellent. Good selection of whiskeys and a couple of cracking beers. Recommended.

Very expensive but nothing exceptional about the food. The main course of Sea Bream was very salty and the waitress said she would let the kitchen know!!! It was a special occasion as it was a wedding anniversary which we stated at the time of booking however no attempt was made to make us feel special.

First time visiting house of tides and will unfortunately be the last. Visited as a group of 4 as a celebration on a Friday night. We asked to have a drink downstairs first, there was absolutely no atmosphere downstairs and it was not a cosy or welcoming vibe. The waitress also told us the bar were unable to do two of the cocktails we asked for, despite a chilli margarita being a pretty standard drink these days. When we went upstairs we were not welcomed or asked if it was our first time dining at the restaurant etc. Simply “are you ready to order?” Which took us all by surprise as we had booked a tasting menu so didn’t think we would need to. It was explained that we could upgrade the main course and that’s what we could order, we were also informed that they didn’t have the main course of pheasant available and it would instead be pork. Quite disappointing that a Michelin stared restaurant didn’t have one of their main courses available on a Friday 7pm sitting. The food was presented well, but tasted average and didn’t feel ground breaking, service was alright but didn’t feel smooth or confident, certainly not Michelin level. There isn’t much atmosphere in the restaurant and the toilets give the vibe of a standard cafe and not a Michelin stared restaurant. We had made a note on the booking that the night was a celebration, there was a congratulatory card hidden at the back of our table, a nice touch, however there was spelling error which was just written over, you would think at a Michelin stared restaurant a new card would have been used instead. It’s a little thing, but you would expect better! The bill came to over £800 and everyone left absolutely starving, with cereal and toast required when we got home!! Overall a very, very expensive and disappointing visit. It’s a shame to leave a negative review but when prices are this high you do expect better.

Feels like you’re paying for the name rather than the food. The tasting menu felt very uninspired and rather standard.

Modern British restaurant
Nestled on Jesmond Road, Peace & Loaf is a sleek and modern British restaurant known for its creative and artfully crafted cuisine. Helmed by chef patron Dave Coulson, a former Masterchef: The Professionals finalist, the restaurant offers a fast-changing menu that showcases locally sourced ingredients. With an attractive dining room and relatively affordable prices, it's an ideal choice for those seeking fine dining on a moderate budget.
Fellow entrepreneur and Chef owner Dave Coulson runs a sublime restaurant that is absolutely perfect for a dining experience. Great service from the entire team who were all very friendly and happy in their work. Wine pairing and champagne by the glass were perfect accompaniments to the amazing seasonal tasting menu which was incredible. The design of the restaurant itself was also perfect being spacious while being intimate too and with a very cool and contemporary design. The only downside with Dave is that he supports ManU and not Newcastle! Apart from that he’s a cracking guy and an inspiring entrepreneur who runs one of the best fine dining restaurants in Newcastle.

We had the tasting menu, which is out of our price range but it was a treat, and what a treat! Food is incredible. The creativity and thought that goes into each dish is genius. They use quite nostalgic flavours but in a way you have not seen before. The staff are so passionate, knowledgeable and friendly. They set the chilled out atmosphere, mixed with a cracking playlist. Overall it does not disappoint and well worth saving up for

We visited after receiving a gift voucher for our wedding so we booked peace and love and wow it did not disappoint. We love a tasting menu and this is by far the best one we have done. The food was incredible and there wasn’t one dish we didn’t enjoy. Our server was amazing I didn’t catch her name but we couldn’t believe it when at the end she said she was only her second week in. We thought she had been there for years because of how knowledgeable she was. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting an amazing experience and great food!

What a great experience. "Feast of the palate!!" Stunning culinary experience ...presentation, service ....I really felt so special. The food was stunning. The tasting menu had no number ...after 6 I just stopped at the number...I was amazed by the stunning flavors and textures created. It is a surprise that you do not have a Michelin star, but you deserve it. It is not stuffy or pretentious at all and the entire staff is very genuine and kind. I will tell all my friends and will definitely visit again. Thank you all for a wonderful and truly unforgettable experience.

We had traveled down from the North West and choose Peace & Loaf for a birthday treat. From the moment we stepped in, we were made to feel at home. The service was second to none, and the food was unbelievable. It was a first for us enjoying this kind of food experience, and they've certainly set the bar high.

What a little gem! It was a perfect evening. Our party had the vegetarian and meat tasting menus, and everyone left satisfied and happy. There were a few delightful surprises (what exactly was “egg and chips” going to be?), but the food remained unpretentious. It looked stunning and tasted even better. With fantastic service and great company to top it off, what more could you ask for.

Dobson and Parnell is a sophisticated dining venue located in a well-known Quayside address. The restaurant offers British and European dishes along with clever cocktails, creating a buzzy vibe. It is known for its excellent cuisine, including optional five-course and seven-course tasting menus. The establishment has received numerous awards, reflecting its high quality and extends to its extensive wine list.
Visited here for the first time on restaurant week. We had it eyeballed for a while, and we certainly weren't disappointed. Welcoming staff, friendly table service, and no long waits in between courses. The food was absolutely delicious, well presented, plenty of it and there were empty plates from us 😋 Enjoyed the whole experience, clean and tidy, lovely relaxed atmosphere This place deserves all 5 stars, and wouldn't hesitate to go back or recommend to others. Reasonably priced, for the quality of the dishes on offer 👌 👏

The one thing that surprised was how quiet it was, granted it was Thursday lunch time but in my opinion the 2/3 course set lunch menu offers excellent value for money in a restaurant with a special atmosphere. Well worth a visit and combining with a walk along the quayside. FYI the creamy pic was creamed goats cheese with beetroot and candied nuts, truly delicious.

Wow! This place fully deserves all the awards it has received. We had a late Friday evening booking (9.30pm) so it was quieter than earlier in the evening but the whole experience was fantastic! Very friendly service, unbelievably delicious food, great selection of wines, beers and cocktails. The menu was really varied and it was hard not to order every starter, main and dessert. Very good value for what we enjoyed - if this restaurant was in London the prices would have been double! All this capped off by the small excellent touch that they have heating for stored coats so you literally leave with a warm glow! Highly, highly recommended and congratulations to the whole D&P team!

Found this restaurant with really good reviews on internet and decided to give it a try. The place has a lovely modern atmosphere and loved the lighting design on the place with a bunch of floating bulbs. We when on the 28 of December so they were serving the Christmas set menu. I look for the description on the page but was not available any more. Both of the started we chose where quite good the beef tartar 10/10. For the next course I got the duck Wellington, it was really disappointed by a raw chewy duck. after sending the dish back I was corner to order the fish dish since “it was the faster to be prepared” with a curry sauce, nothing especial. For the service after I send the dish back (that I did in the must respectful manner) change so much, it looked like they didn’t wanna to come back to us and the restaurant was probably at half capacity. There was one young waiter with a nice attitude that I’ll aplaude his service. Maybe the tiredness of the end of the season didn’t help. I’ll come back to try the a la cart menu.

Fantastic Quayside eatery serving contemporary food in a relaxed setting. Beautiful dining room designed by the restaurant namesakes. Great choice of delicious starters, main and desserts. Friendly and efficient service and laid back atmosphere. The quality, presentation and menu choices were all superb. Check the website for promotions, fixed price menus and offers - we took advantage of restaurant week and cocktails and were not disappointed. Would definitely recommend.

Me and my girlfriend visited in October for my 30th birthday. Immediately the level of customer service we received on arrival was 10/10 and continued throughout the whole time we were there, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere matched it. The guy who was looking after us was a credit to the restaurant and even made me a complimentary cocktail as it was my birthday. A beautiful place I can't wait to visit again.

I had a virgin exp voucher so i put it towards a three course meal with fizz for 2 at dobson parnell. Booked on IG as I had 0 reply on phone and email. Arrived at 12 and all really good, never been before so did not know what to expect. They took our coats and took us to our table. Explained the menu, opened the fizz and took our orders. The food we ordered (see images) was delicious, seriously impressed. Really tasty, had never tasted anything like it before. You can see why it is michelin worthy. I also like the desighn of the resturant too. Staff are really attentive.
