Reviews in Jesmond

With out doubt bruge restaurant in jesmond in newcastle is one of the best value and fantastic little places to eat. We live in Washington about 10miles from this restaurant and we have eat at bruges every 3 weeks it is so so good , When ever we have friends come and visit this is with out doubt our favourite places to take them for food. The restaurant has a great cosy feel but also the buzz of a great place to be , with excellent waiting staff and a great chef it is with out doubt the best value for money for a great meal and great night out . Oh one more thing i have to say is the friends who live locally that we have taken to bruges now take there friends there to what more can be said from colin elrick

Been going to Francesca's for over 15 years now and will be hopefully for another 15+ years! The food is great and portions are very generous to say the least! The staff are friendly and great with kids. Only downside is how busy it is at peak times. Best time to eat without having to wait is bang on 12.00 lunchtime or 5.00pm. Friday and Saturday nights are very very busy and you can expect to wait at least an hour - but with a glass of wine (or a few) and some good chat the time soon flies by! I live 15 miles from the restaurant and still I eat there with my family at least 2 or 3 times a month and can highly recommend the place 100%!!!

A nicely small restaurant, means your food arrives on your table hot, rather than sitting under heat lamps for ages and arriving tepid, as it does so often in big places. We've been twice, it is always booked up, and has a nice atmosphere, they are not trying too hard! We like it here!

Food is not very good, the chef complicates every dish and tends to spoil it. The bar however is modern and relaxed.More student orientated for younger people but still a pleasent atmosphere and great value for drinks.

Have been going to Francescas since francesca was born it is very authentic but Toni is a miss. The food is the best and very good value the staff are great and mostly authentic Italians with style and personality Soprattutto Francesca era squisito/a I Think

Not what i expected really gone downhill!

Good range of beers. Good night out.

went with gf and other couple. food portions were impressive but Id rather pay more money for less food if it has quality. The food was average and thats only because I was in a good mood when I went there. Ive been to worse Italian restaurants for sure, but Ive also been to much better ones in the Newcastle area

Six of us went on a Saturday night. We began with a drink at the welcoming bar, before being shown to our large table by the maitre d. The atmosphere was superb, with a jazz group fronted by an attractive female singer entertaining us throughout the evening. This restaurant is new, but feels warm and inviting. Our food was good especially the mezze starter, but the atmosphere, service and jazz would have made the visit worthwhile anyway. Our attentive Polish waitress was tireless and patient, which we remembered when the tips were calculated! Considering how many bottles of wine we consumed the bill wasn't bad. We'll definitely visit again - we were told by another party that the Sunday lunch was worth the trip.

I was in Newcastle for just one night and ate at Scalinis with a mate. If I didn't live 250 miles away I would be eating there every week! Excellent in every respect.

IT WAS GOOD FOOD BUT POOR PORTION SIZES

We had our wedding reception here and our guests said it was the best wedding meal they'd had! Service was fab and we were made to feel very welcome/ special. Well worth a visit.

i enjoyed this restaurant very much

As said in the write up one of the best restaurants in town. The food was fantastic. The Deco is stunning, Browns and creams.. Fantastic canapés offered with pre dinner drinks def worth a visit

hard to fault

When I moved house I've got to say I was having serious withdrawal symptoms from my usual Friday night Chinese, but since I discovered Eastern Meadow... I would recommend the deep fried crispy beef and if you're sharing the 1/4 duck is the ideal accompaniment. The portions are more than adequate - in fact it takes care of breakfast the morning after. Yes, its a little more expensive but its well worth it and the guy who takes the orders is great - you just want to take him home!!! Plus, if you're extra nice to him (or spend more than £15) you get free prawn crackers and sometimes he chucks in a fortune cookie or two for good measure. So if you're feel hungry and can't be bothered to cook or want to satisfy your taste buds just call in to see our Chinese friend (that? if I haven? taken him home) or give him a ring as they do deliveries aswell. Enjoy!!!

A great, lively pub with better than most food for choice and quality. Drinks are reasonable, atmosphere is good with pool tables and juke box. Can be chocka but all in all, a good egg.

This takeaway is in High Heaton I know the number off my head (I don? even know my wife? number) I go there all the time the food is of very high quality and quantity, they are not tight! they are averaged priced, compared to some other places and i would highly recommend them!
