The setting of Love Lily Tearoom is so enviable. The floor-to-ceiling windows look out over Roker Beach in Sunderland and there's something just so delightful in settling down here for breakfast, brunch or lunch after a walk full of sea air.

Kracklin, Newcastle
With a name that invokes the memory of my favourite part of a pork joint, I felt compelled to eat here. Crackling done right is an experience, an experience far removed from the pork scratchings that occupy good bar space and are left to gather dust. It's salt, it's fat, it's everything bad for you, … Continue reading Kracklin, Newcastle
Tapas Revolution
We were invited to review another new restaurant in Grey's Quarter in Eldon Square. This time it was Tapas Revolution. I took along my trusty foodie friend and we settled down for a night of tapas and chat. Tapas Revolution is a relatively new 'chain' restaurant in the UK with seven restaurants (including the one … Continue reading Tapas Revolution
Smashburger
Is anyone else losing track of what new restaurants have opened in the Eldon Square or Metrocentre food courts? And with so many to choose from, sometimes it can be hard to decide which one is worth your time. We got invited along to Smashburger to try their burgers and popped in for lunch this … Continue reading Smashburger

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 to … Continue reading Time Banhmi
5 Alternatives to Chain Restaurants in Newcastle
When confronted with choosing a place for dinner, it's so easy to just end up at a chain restaurant - even if that wasn't your intention! Why? They are reliable, there is usually something on the menu to please everyone, and they are everywhere. But we're lucky in Newcastle to have lots of independent restaurants … Continue reading 5 Alternatives to Chain Restaurants in Newcastle
BALTIC Kitchen
One of my favourite things to do when it's sunny is to go for a walk along the Quayside. Pair that with stopping for lunch somewhere and that's the icing on the cake! We hadn't been to the BALTIC in actual years, so decided to be cultured and view some of the exhibitions (and go … Continue reading BALTIC Kitchen
Les Petits Choux
I first heard about this adorable little café after reading Cloud In A Teacup's post, and knew that when I next had an opportunity for lunch in Newcastle city centre that this would be at the top of my list. It's a tiny little place (just behind Barker and Stonehouse, near St James' Park, on Leazes … Continue reading Les Petits Choux
Dabbawal
We were invited for an evening of fun Indian dining at Dabbawal. This is how we got on... Before I started dating my husband, I never really ate Indian food. If I got a takeaway it would always be Chinese, and I'd never go to an Indian restaurant over an Italian restaurant. Now though, times … Continue reading Dabbawal
