Fodor's Expert Review 21

A Newcastle classic, this sleek, modern bistro is a local favorite for romantic dinners as the warm wood, leather banquettes, and crisp white table linens lend a polished look. The menu focuses on contemporary, flavor-packed versions of classic British food, such as terrine of Northumbrian venison with celeriac and apple salad or fillet of smoked haddock with wholegrain mustard sauce. Save space for dessert, including year-round Christmas pudding.
