Newcastle Restaurants

Newcastle has a wide choice of restaurants varying from top quality International restaurants to all the famous fast food brands. Every type of cuisine is on offer ranging from Chinese, Indian, Italian, Thai, Mexican, Greek, Spanish, French and of course British. If you are out with the family for a day you will not have far to look to keep the children happy as there are plenty of burger bars and fish and chip bars of a very high quality.

Newcastle has it's very own Chinatown and they are mainly based in Stowell Street with about 15 restaurants all offering a high standard of food and service. Although the restaurants can vary in decor and price there will be something to suit every taste. The Chinese restaurants of course are not all situated in this area and there are many others dotted throughout the city which are well worth visiting most notable being Waterside Palace situated in Forth Banks.

The same can be said for the many Italian restaurants throughout the city. Although many of them are in the Quayside area there are also many others in the city centre. If you are on a budget why not try the pizzeria Don Vito's or for a more intimate evening out the Ristorante Roma is highly recommended.

Indian restaurants worth noting are Sachins, Asha Raval, and Vujon, and they are all within walking distance of the city centre .Again they all cater for the varied types of cooking for that region.

Newcastle is a very cool, cosmopolitan city and this is evidenced by the number of bistros, cafes and brasseries where you can sit and enjoy one of the many types of coffee on order or enjoy a very nice meal or snack in relaxed surroundings. The city is also famous for it's pubs and many of them offer "pub grub" to a very high standard and at a very reasonable price. Having lunch or dinner in these establishments can be very satisfying, especially if you have ordered a pint of the famous Newcastle Brown Ale with your food. This drink is very famous throughout the North East and has been brewed in the city for many years.
