Best Casual Restaurants in Gateshead

Booked for an 80th birthday celebration and were delighted to be the first family group to have the Christmas Fayre 2024. It was excellent- good food and great value and the festive decorations were beautiful. Staff were attentive and friendly and we will most certainly be back !

We have visited D&P a few times now and will keep returning, we enjoyed our meals. A great menu to choose from and always very helpful when catering for my daughter who is gluten, lactose and dairy free. Food was great again and delivered by a great team.

One of the nicest meals I've eaten out. Service was second to none, no long waits, drinks topped up before being empty, nothing was too much. The quality of the food was nothing like I've experienced before, tremendous!

We were running late and they were very accommodating and made us feel really relaxed. Lovely food and excellent service!

Tucked away close to Newcastle's thousand-year-old castle, the French Quarter is a gem that provides a memorable dining experience. It offers a harmonious blend of exceptional food, warm service, and an inviting ambience. The menu is thoughtfully curated, with French-inspired dishes that highlight a perfect marriage of flavours and freshness. On my visit, I began with an exquisite Rillettes de Porc with some off-menu toasted bread. I followed this with an indulgent Bœuf Bourguignon accompanied by a tangy Gratin Dauphinois and fresh Haricot Vert. The staff were an absolute delight—attentive, friendly, and passionate about their work. They were happy to make recommendations, explaining food combinations with detail and enthusiasm. Every interaction felt personal, adding an extra layer of warmth to my visit. The restaurant offered subtle touches of a French bistro, a cosy yet sophisticated charm. It's perfect for both intimate dinners and lively group get-togethers. It's not budget dining, but the quality of the food, impeccable service, and overall experience justify the cost. Portions are generous, and each dish feels crafted with care. Whether you're a fan of French cuisine or just looking for a memorable culinary experience, the French Quarter delivers on all fronts. I will certainly return.
