Stu Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Going to Newcastle with my girlfriend for a couple of nights in the middle of February (midweek rather than weekend). Any tips for things to do (aside from the obvious stuff) or good places to eat in the centre/on the Quayside? Had a look for a Newcastle thread but the last one was a good few years old - apologies if there is one on the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 If you like Tapas, El Torero is a great Spanish restuarant near the Quayside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 House of Tides on the Quayside is Michelin star level depending on how much you're willing to pay, if you go midweek since you mentioned that I think you can get a relatively cheap tasting menu, that's what we did. Dabbawal is good for curry, and +1 for the tapas place above. Been a couple of years since I lived there tho, sad to see Solano's Peruvian has since shut down. Tho not surprising as we were the only people in it at 7pm on a Thursday when we went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 If you like Italians then my favourite is Babuchios, very decent. Phone ahead for a reservation just to be safe. Ive lived 15 minutes away for the past year but truthfully all I do in the centre is get absolutely smashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Sports Direct put on a lovely spread. Cheap as chips as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good place for scran. Head of Steam is pretty good also from a tapas/pub grub type place. Their beer tapas, where they pair types of beers with each order is worth a try. Closer to the the shopping area, the Three Bulls Head is a cracking boozer anaw. My favourite thing about Newcastle is if you're on a nip, they always ask if you want a double.

HoBNob Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 There's a place called bijoux which does three trebles for £5.95 from Monday to Thursday, £18 and you're set for the rest of the night. I don't even like the place that much but it's a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Forth Hotel, the Newcastle Tap both central and the Hop and Cleaver and Record Cafe on Quayside. All good beer and food places. But the best thing is, there are so many. Just wander about and make mistakes before stumbling on some good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
