Time Banhmi
Just a quick little post. So, I had lunch at Vietnamese cafe Time Banhmi the other day and it was fantastic. It’s on Grainger Street, just a short walk from Monument Metro station, and it’s the perfect place to stop for lunch if you like Asian cuisine. I’m actually kicking myself that it took me this long toContinue reading “Time Banhmi”
River Bar
We were kindly invited to visit River Bar in Washington which has just had a major refurbishment. However, as always, are thoughts are completely our own about the experience we had! It was Easter Monday. The sun was shining, and we’d just finished a long walk from our home to Newcastle Quayside when we hoppedContinue reading “River Bar”
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”
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”
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”
Scalini’s (Jesmond)
Thank you to Laura, our fantastic guest blogger, for this review of the newly refurbished Scalini’s in Jesmond. We were delighted when Scalini’s in Jesmond invited us to go along and see their refurbished restaurant and sample some new dishes from their menu. An Italian restaurant on Osbourne Road surrounded by swanky bars, it’s aContinue reading “Scalini’s (Jesmond)”
The Butterfly Cabinet
After a morning spent segwaying for my sister’s birthday, we decided to head up to The Butterfly Cabinet in Heaton for brunch/lunch. My sister had been a couple of times before and really liked the place, and we thought we would give it a try! The first thing I noticed was the quirky interior, andContinue reading “The Butterfly Cabinet”
Mannaza
One wet night as we trundled through Newcastle city centre to meet up with some friends for dinner, we passed this little Korean BBQ place. We stared through the windows to see a bustling restaurant packed to the brim, with everyone eating delicious, warm food that was steaming from their bowls. It looked so comforting.Continue reading “Mannaza”
Shark Club – Wing Wednesday
Our friend Dan happily wrote about his recent chicken wings experience with MrJ. Enjoy! I’ll tell you straight off, me and wings had a big fall out several years back when I made the fatal error of trying some cheap microwave chicken wings from Iceland. Why, you ask? All I can say is: student. Broke.Continue reading “Shark Club – Wing Wednesday”
