Newcastle Restaurant Week Returns
The incredibly popular Newcastle Restaurant Week is back for 2022, and we’ve picked our favourite places where you can dine out at a discount
Monday: Cafe Andaluz – three tapas for £15 at lunchtime, or bread and olives, three tapas and a dessert for £20 in the evening
Start as you mean to go on at the new tapas restaurant and bar, Cafe Andaluz, who bring a taste of Spain to Grey Street. Beat the Monday blues with three tempting tapas dishes – think patatas bravas, gambas pil pil king prawns and sautéed chorizo with black pudding in a spicy tomato sauce. For dessert, it has to be the churros with hot chocolate dipping sauce.
Tuesday: Tomahawk Steakhouse – enjoy three courses for £15
On Tuesday, head to Tomahawk Steakhouse on the Quayside to enjoy three courses for just £15. Starters include curried parsnip soup, black pudding croquettes, smoked paprika dusted squid and the house nachos, whilst their eight-ounce rump steak is a must for the main. Finish off with a chocolate fondant or a white chocolate rice pudding.
Wednesday: The Muddler – three small plates for £15
For your mid-week meal head to The Muddler for a selection of delicious pan-Asian dishes. From teriyaki chicken to bulgogi pork belly, steamed prawn dumplings and mixed vegetable spring rolls, there is something to satisfy everyone’s tastebuds.
Thursday: Blackfriars Restaurant – three courses for £20 during the day and two courses for £20 in the evening
For a special lunchtime deal, head to Blackfriars, the award-winning restaurant where you can sample dishes such as Northumbrian ham terrine followed by lightly-roasted cod with a potato and cheese mousse. If you’re making the most of their three-course offer, they’ll be serving sticky toffee pudding, plum crumble, chocolate delice and a selection of cheeses, crackers and chutneys for you to indulge in.
Friday: Hibou Blanc – two courses for £10 or three for £15
Start the weekend off in style with a table at Hibou Blanc where you can enjoy a delicious meal and a glass of wine or two. Treat yourself to the terrine of locally-shot game followed by the beef rump cap with smoked mash, fine beans and bourguignon sauce. To top off a fabulous evening, finish with a crêpe suzette – or for something a little lighter, the compote of orchard fruits with a gingerbread crumb and créme anglaise.
Saturday: Khai Khai – one small plate, main dish and side for £20
Spice up your Saturday night with a visit to Khai Khai. The popular Indian restaurant has not only hosted a bunch of famous guests, but their food is full of flavour and packs a punch. Select one of the four small dishes to start, followed by a heritage dish such as Kashmiri lamb, old Delhi butter chicken, three green saag aloo, or chicken pepper roast, each served with either basmati rice or a plain naan and black lentils to share.
Sunday: Horticulture – two brunch dishes for £15, or a three-course meal for £20
End your week on a high with a brunch at Horticulture. This renowned Newcastle hot-spot is offering diners a selection of their favourite brunch dishes, including the shloumi and the sweet potato hash bowls, when you dine during Restaurant Week. If dinner is more your scene then head here in the evening for a three-course meal which is sure to tantalise your tastebuds.
