Quilliam Brothers

Quilliam Brothers has been at the top of my ‘must-visit’ places for some time now. It’s a teahouse with a very European, continental feel, and a home cinema in the basement. Located close to the Hancock Museum, it’s in a prime location for students, and extremely popular, judging by the queues sometimes waiting to be seated. Luckily,Continue reading “Quilliam Brothers”

The Botanist

The Botanist is the newest, sleekest eating and drinking establishment in the city centre, and it doesn’t get much more central by overlooking Grey’s Monument. I’d visited when it first opened for a press day with work, and gushed about how cool the interior looked. When their 50% January voucher appeared, I knew it hadContinue reading “The Botanist”

Juicy January Deals

It’s that time of year again! Hello, Newcastle Restaurant Week from the 19th-25th of January ! It’s a great opportunity to try a new restaurant or visit an old favourite for a bargain price. This year, more restaurants than ever have got involved to offer £10 or £15 set menus. We’re struggling to choose where toContinue reading “Juicy January Deals”

Let There Be Crumbs

My best friends are my girl cousins. We love to get together when we can, and since we’re now dotted around the country, it’s usually reserved for Christmas time and family events. Since we all grew up in South Shields, our usual meeting place is Minchellas by the sea front. However, this time I thoughtContinue reading “Let There Be Crumbs”

List: Afternoon Tea

I’ve been getting a lot of visitors to this blog looking for the best places for afternoon tea in the North East. I haven’t reviewed many places, but there are so many great afternoon tea destinations. I’ve listed them here, and if you have a favourite that isn’t on, just leave a message in theContinue reading “List: Afternoon Tea”

The Fox Hole

It was Saturday night, and I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’m always surprised with how early the dark nights roll in during the winter months. As we turned off the A1 and headed towards Piercebridge we were enveloped in fog and we were starting to wonder if we were somehow lost, althoughContinue reading “The Fox Hole”

Revolution

I work just around the corner from Revolution in Newcastle, so when they got in touch and asked whether we wanted to try their new menu, I immediately said yes, and booked us a date for that week. I love the interior of Revolution. If it wasn’t a bar/restaurant it would make a great placeContinue reading “Revolution”

La Petite Creperie

UPDATE: La Petite Creperie is now closed in the Grainger Market. You’ll find them at the Newcastle Quayside Sunday Market, as well as pop-up street food events across the North East. We love La Petite Creperie – a delicious crepes and galettes shop in the Grainger Market run by two Julien and Fred. I wentContinue reading “La Petite Creperie”

Haveli

It was a cold, wet and windy evening as we drove to Haveli. To make it worse, traffic was terrible. I knew we were going to arrive later than our booked reservation. I gave them a quick call. A friendly voice greeted me on the other end and said “no problem”. When we arrived, theContinue reading “Haveli”

Allard’s Lounge

One thing I love about the blogsphere is that if you ask for recommendations, you get a ton! When I asked for suggestions for dining in Tynemouth, two fellow food bloggers Taste of the North and Sugar Rushed recommended the same place – Allard’s Lounge. Well, if both of them recommended it, it must beContinue reading “Allard’s Lounge”
