Restaurants in Newcastle City Centre

Great food, service a little slow, but they were really busy, which is always a good sign. Looking forward to returning soon.

This is my fourth visit to Boccquerones in 5 months as I keep taking people there for a treat as I just know they will love it. This visit for lunch was a birthday gift for my friend. She is vegetarian and occasionally eats fish so I knew she’d like it as Boquerones has such a great range of vegetarian tapas. Really friendly and helpful service, our server helped steer us to the aubergine (really enjoyable) so we didn’t end up with too much bread. All the food was gorgeous but particular mentions must go to the baked feta and the mushrooms in the blue cheese, parsley, cream and white wine sauce. Needless to say my friend loved it. Another plus point of this local gem is they do an excellent range of wine by the glass which comes in handy when one of you drinks red and the other white. I had a lovely Albariño the quality of which you don’t often see by the glass. Came to £90 for 6 tapas 4 glasses of wine and a tip well worth it, but you could easily spend less and still have great food. If you like to local, and support independent businesses then I throughly recommend Boquerones
