Fine Dining In Newcastle |

Newcastle and fine
dining are two terms that many would not think to put
together, these however, are the people who will be missing
out on the range of fine dining experiences Newcastle
has to offer.
Although no longer the proud owner of a Michelin star, Cafe 21 [map] continues its tradition of top quality food. Located close
to the Quayside, you'll find this chic little bistro has
a great menu that encompasses all colours of the culinary
spectrum, from vegetarians to committed carnivores. Expect
to find dishes like terrine of ham knuckle and foie gras
with pease pudding, and peppered venison steak with wild
mushrooms & celeriac, on the menu, as well as some
seriously tasty treats for dessert, all served with an
air of cosmopolitan sophistication.
As you would expect from a restaurant called the Fisherman's
Lodge [map],
seafood takes a starring role on the menu. But fish and
other sea based finds are not the only foods to grace
this menu as meat and vegetarian dishes also feature.
Built amidst the greenery of Jesmond Dene, this slightly
out of town eatery serves exciting modern British creations
worthy of a discerning palate.
The Quayside location of Malmaison [map] offers terrific views of the Millennium Bridge and Baltic
Centre but you shouldn't let that distract you from what
the restaurant has to offer. Inside you'll find Malmaison’s
decor sumptuous but sophisticated, while the menu boasts
French-influenced culinary combinations that are both
contemporary and simple.
Treacle Moon [map] is the uniquely named Quayside eatery popular with couples
wanting an intimate dining experience. The award-winning
menu draws from “French classical cuisine tempered
with flavours of the Orient” and includes dishes
such as Monkfish wrapped in Parma Ham with New Potatoes
and Saffron sauce, and Rich Dark Bittersweet Chocolate
Tart with Clotted Cream.
Meanwhile at The Rooftop Restaurant [map] on the Gateshead side of the quay, you may find yourself
with the dilemma of deciding which is finer, the food
or the spectacular views. The restaurant is located on
the sixth floor of the Baltic Art Gallery giving
great views across the city, while the menu offers the
height of contemporary dining from the famed McCoy kitchen.
As you might expect, you’ll almost certainly need
to book well in advance to enjoy this dining experience!
