River Beat Quayside

Food is interesting and a little different from the norm - really good flavours and the tapas menu allows you to try a few different options. I went with friends for a birthday celebration, it had a great atmosphere. The decor is quirky and stylish, and the lovely staff really added to the night. Definitely a good place to eat with friends.

A cool modern restaurant overlooking the Tyne serving Asian tapas and other Asian dishes. The staff are friendly, service is good and restaurant has a nice, lively atmosphere. Prices are a bit more on the expensive side but the food is absolutely worth it. All presented excellently and taste great. It was my second visit and I'll definitely be returning.

Restaurant was very nice with a lovely location, the staff managed to squeeze us in before our show at the sage. We had a nice selection from main and side dishes. The food quality was lovely but very highly priced for what it was and we weren't 100% satisfied with the portions-vs-cost. Just to clarify, we weren't expecting piles of food, but it was quite steeply priced. The additional 10% discretionary tip automatically added that was actually 13% wasn't justified on this occasion.

Private dining experience at the River Beat. Location is spectacular. Outdoor terrace with absolutely amazing views. Mojito gets a solid 7.5/10 let down by ice cubes instead of crushed ice. Food is Asian fusion really well presented with attention to detail. With the private dining experience they brought multiple dishes all amazing. Bold flavours, chilli never over powering. The stand out dish was the crispy belly pork. The staff are amazing, so friendly, polite and couldn't do enough. Lovely little gem on the Gateshead side highly recommended

Last month I was invited to try the food River Beat and it did not disappoint. The venue is situated on Gateshead’s quayside within a stone’s throw from the Swing Bridge allowing amazing riverside views of Newcastle’s iconic bridges from their beautiful terrace. River Beat specialises in award winning Asian tapas and curries in a quirky setting with relaxed fun vibes. I was lucky enough to try all the below dishes to get a great feel for variety of what they have to offer. The dishes were immense and with so many fresh flavours in each. I still honestly cannot decide which was my favourite! Thai Salmon fish cakes with sweet red chilli jam Tempura soft shelled crab with seaweed & singer salad Char Sui Pork with green nasi goreng Malay lamb vindaloo with a dry coconut chutney & Thai Jasmine rice Pork & Prawn steamed dumplins with schezuan dip Asian spiced lamb with Chinese pancakes River beat offers an extremely enjoyable experience. They have clearly put a lot of effort into perfecting their selection of dishes and creating a great a welcoming environment to ensure you cannot wait for your next visit…my recommendation is to bring as many people with you when you do so you get to try as many dishes as possible !!
