Boquerones
On Heaton Road, a bustling street full of up-and-coming foodies, you’ll find Boquerones, Heaton’s first and only Spanish restaurant which brings the best of traditional and modern tapas to the North East. Their freshly-made dishes are created using premium ingredients and well-known Spanish specialties such as Manchego cheese, Serrano ham and padron peppers – and you can pair a bottle of their Spanish wine or fruity sangria to your small plates.

Côte
Flavours and seasonality are the cornerstones of the menu at Côte Newcastle, and following a recent refurbishment, you won’t find finer French-inspired cuisine anywhere else. Start your day off right with a croque monsieur or a freshly-baked croissant, or book a table in the evening and enjoy the classic French onion soup, moules frites, Côte de boeuf or squash taboulé – make sure you leave room for a dessert, because the crème brûlée is a must! cote.co.uk
