Best Romantic Restaurants in Waldridge

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.

Absolutely outstanding our waitress Millie was wonderful. The food was outstanding the chef came over and had a conversation with us. All the stay were amazing lots of banter and laughs Restaurant was lovely especially with the Xmas tree up aswell We had a window seat so the views were brilliant Even down to the ladies toilets Fantastic evening

Food very good and well presented.Staff friendly and attentive. Restaurant cold when we arrived just on opening and did not really warm up even with fire on. Would not prevent us going back.

This is some of the best food in Newcastle. My Dover sole was slightly over but the other dishes were on point. Great service and the ambience is always lively which I love, can’t wait to go back.

Regular visitors here and it never disappoints. Food is amazing and the staff really helpful. Highly recommend the Beef Massamam curry and my wife always gets the Star of Siam special rice
