The new food court in Eldon Square has been causing quite a buzz, and it can be hard to choose which new restaurant to dine at. We were excited to be invited to the VIP night for Thai restaurant Chaophraya. One of our favourite cuisines, and with a rooftop terrace to boot, were we in forContinue reading “Chaophraya, intu Eldon Square”

House of Tides, Newcastle
Ever since House of Tides opened on the Quayside I’ve wanted to visit. Then they got a Michelin star and I was desperate to go. MrJ, knowing me so well, booked a table as a surprise for our 5 year wedding anniversary (how have we been married for that long?). I didn’t intend to blog about it,Continue reading “House of Tides, Newcastle”
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 restaurantsContinue reading “5 Alternatives to Chain Restaurants in Newcastle”
Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill
We’ve loved the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse at Hotel Indigo for as long as this blog has been going. In fact, they were the first restaurant to ever approach us about doing a food review. (You can read it here if you like, now that’s digging way back into the archives of 2012!) So, when theyContinue reading “Marco Pierre White Steakhouse & Grill”
Cabana
Cabana recently got in touch to invite us to try their new restaurant that has opened just next to The Gate in Newcastle. With new restaurants popping up all the time in the city centre, does this one stand out from the crowd? We were running soooooooooo late for our dinner reservation at 7pm. WeContinue reading “Cabana”
St Sushi – Delivered
So, we know we’ve already written a blog post on St Sushi before, but we wanted to write another one about their takeaway service. It was a Saturday evening and pre-baby that meant 99% of the time that we’d be in a restaurant. We’re still getting to grips with Life With Baby and although weContinue reading “St Sushi – Delivered”
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 LeazesContinue reading “Les Petits Choux”
Afternoon Tea at The Great British Cupcakery
It was my birthday a few weeks ago, and what is a birthday without cake? Well, nothing (in my books!), so a friend and I booked to go and have afternoon tea at The Great British Cupcakery in Newcastle, which is just by the Quayside. I’d never visited before, but I follow them on InstagramContinue reading “Afternoon Tea at The Great British Cupcakery”
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, timesContinue reading “Dabbawal”
St Sushi
When we lived in Chengdu, there was this amazing Japanese restaurant that served the most delicious noodle broths. The restaurant was tiny, only having about 10 seats and diners sat all along a long table. The waiters would ask you millions of questions in Chinese about everything about how you’d like your egg cooked toContinue reading “St Sushi”
