Rio Brazilian Steakhouse

A specialist city steak restaurant and bar on the prestigious Quayside that elevates the steakhouse experience with premium cuts and expert preparation. Open for both lunch and dinner with extended weekend hours, Tomahawk focuses on delivering exceptional beef alongside a sophisticated bar program. The restaurant's prime location and commitment to quality have made it a go-to destination for steak lovers seeking both excellent food and a refined dining atmosphere in Newcastle's restaurant quarter.

A beloved local institution serving authentic Pakistani and Indian cuisine in generous buffet style. Aneesa's has built its reputation on home-style cooking that feels like being invited to a family feast - aromatic curries, tender tandoor meats, and fresh naan bread that keeps diners coming back for more. The welcoming atmosphere and excellent value make it a neighborhood favorite where the focus is purely on good food, good value, and that warm hospitality that makes everyone feel at home.

Part wine bar, part restaurant with a big-hearted "everybody welcome" attitude. Inspired by neighborhood bars found in France and Italy, offering interesting wines, charcuterie, and crowd-pleasing dishes full of punchy flavors. It's an after-work drinks spot and supper-with-friends place where "an hour spins into several without anyone noticing." Open evenings Tuesday to Friday, all day Saturday, and closes late.

A proper pub that shouldn't exist anymore, but thankfully does. This Michelin Bib Gourmand winner (every year since 2011!) perfectly captures everything we've lost and found again - well-kept ales, honest food, genuine warmth, and that increasingly rare feeling of being somewhere that actually cares. Born from a partnership between Terry Laybourne's 21 Hospitality and Live Theatre, it's where outstanding gastropub food meets authentic pub atmosphere, creating something both timeless and special.
