Foodie Blogger Charlotte Kidd's Top Restaurant Week Picks
One of our favourite local foodie bloggers Charlotte Kidd gives us her top picks for Newcastle Restaurant Week!
If NE1 Restaurant Week isn’t the best week for all the “North East Foodies” out there, I don’t know what is! Even if you’re not a major Foodie; it’s the perfect reason to taste Newcastle’s various cuisine in places you normally wouldn’t venture to. Whether the week lands on a celebration for you or not, this is the ideal excuse to make the week a celebration with all the following offers!
1. Kaltur – 2 Course Lunch for £15
Firstly, if you haven’t heard of this place; where have you been? The new addition to Newcastle’s dining scene brings delicious, authentic tapas (finally!) with staff that ooze with passion. I’ve visited already and was blown away. My next visit is coming up but, I wouldn’t be surprised if I went again during Restaurant Week!
Kaltur went straight into my “Top 5 Places to Eat” and I urge everyone to visit. Make sure to try the Chorizo cooked in Cider. In fact, try everything!
2. Zucchini – 2 Courses for £10 or 3 Courses for £15
Again, another brilliant addition to the dining scene in Newcastle. We have really been spoiled so far in 2017 when it comes to good quality food!
Zucchini is a pasta bar which serves hand rolled, fresh egg pasta made daily. Finally, a restaurant that takes full advantage of making their own freshly made pasta in the city! I’ve been here 3 times since it first opened and I’ve never been disappointed. Don’t worry, fresh doesn’t mean expensive, Zucchini offers several dishes at a very generous price. I’m working my way around the menu too. If you like Italian food, make sure you visit Zucchini.
3. Lola Jeans – 2 Burgers for £15
Best burgers in Newcastle hands down. There, I said it. You can all stop arguing. I’ve tried a lot of burgers across the city and nothing compares to Lola’s for me! Their Restaurant Week deal of 2 Burgers for £15 is not one to be missed! The burgers are juicy, cooked just right and have brilliant fillings. They won “Battle of The Burger 2017” and there is a reason for that. Go try their burgers and you’ll understand.
4. Dobson & Parnell - 3 Course Lunch or 2 Course Early Dinner for £15
One of the triplets from Andy Cook; Dobson & Parnell lands in more of the “fine dining” styled restaurant. If you’re into a plate full of food; this one isn’t for you. With a balance of flavour and presentation you won’t be disappointed vising here. I’m really impressed with what is on offer for their Restaurant Week menu as they have a good range of dishes.
5. Saltwater Fish Company - 2 Courses for £10 or 3 Courses for £15
One of Terry Laybourne’s many restaurants; Saltwater Fish Company. If you’re after fresh fish and seafood; this one is for you! Located in Fenwick Food Hall you can see your dish being prepared for you which is great if you’re nosey like me. They serve up fresh, excellent quality fish which will leave you feeling satisfied.
Thank you for reading and I hope you take full advantage of the best week in the city!
