From
burger and fries with the kids, to a cordon bleu meal in a top restaurant
- from a quiet drink in a traditional pub, to a loud as your eardrums
can stand experience in a heaving fun pub - if you want an evening out
eating or drinking, then Newcastle city centre has the lot.
If you are looking for a meal that is quick and simple, then the usual
burger, chicken, and pizza franchises are represented, as well as traditional
fish & chip restaurants, and fast food takeaways. But if you want
something more formal, then many types and nationalities of cuisine are
on offer in the city.
Chinese
restaurants are mainly concentrated in Stowell Street, Newcastle's China
Town, and with fifteen outlets varying in style and price there is bound
to be something to suit everyone. However, there are a number of other
Chinese restaurants around the city which are also worth a visit, such
as the highly regarded Waterside Palace in Forth Banks.
Many of the city's Italian restaurants are to be found in the Quayside
and Dean Street areas, although once again there are others elsewhere.
The whole spectrum is covered, from inexpensive pizzerias like Don Vito's,
to more upmarket cuisine in restaurants like the Ristorante Roma.
There
are many Indian restaurants covering all the varying traditions of sub-continental
cuisine. Among the most highly rated are Sachin's in Forth Banks (a little
difficult to find, but worth the effort), and Asha Raval, and Vujon in
Queen Street just behind the Quayside.
Many other tastes are catered for with restaurants serving food from
Mongolia, Japan, Mexico, America, Spain, Greece, Thailand, France, and
of course Britain, and others specialising in such things as seafood and
vegetarian food.
There are a number of bistros, brasseries, diners, and cafes, offering
everything from a cup of cappuccino to a three-course dinner. Most of
the city's pubs also serve food, some just at lunchtime, and some all
day, many having fairly extensive menus which offer much more than simple
snacks. |
