With a beautiful atmosphere, friendly knowledgable service this place is hard to beat. A fantastic wine and beer list compliments food with interesting flavours. A twist on some traditional English fare. We have been once and can't wait to return.
We came here earlier in the year and it was beautiful, fantastic atmosphere and food. The server gave us good suggestions for wine to complement our food and it was an amazing evening, we went back to try the autumn menu and we're not impressed, it was lackluster, the chicken was dry and my husband had the fish which he explained was nice but the accompany potatoes were just swimming in butter which was going on to the rest of his dish. We have booked for the winter menu and we're hoping it is like the first visit so fingers 🤞
One of the BEST restaurants in Newcastle and quite possibly the entire north east.
A beautiful location, very good, professional yet not too stiff or flashy service from a very good, well-oiled team.
Prices, in comparison to other places and for the quality of food and service here, are very reasonable. Which brings me, finally to the food. One word - SUBLIME.
If you enjoy good dining, I really can't recommend Blackfriars enough. 10/10
Fantastic meal for our anniversary, first time we have dined here. Menu choices were quite varied and alot of options for different price points including an optional set menu with 2 courses for only £26.
Staff are very attentive and helpful, also quite chipper.
If you're looking for some high end food and you want a lovely welcoming warm setting this is the place.
Lovely late lunch in the courtyard on a sunny day. Staff were friendly, the service was excellent, and the food was first class. We both had the goat's cheese beetroot and walnut starter, which was a great tasty combination. We both had the grilled cod, new potatoes, and spinach served with caper butter again lovely. The French martini cocktail was perfection, and the 2 for £15 good value for the quality. This was our first visit for restaurant week, and we shall return.
Excellent menu with many interesting choices. If you want a fine meal without pretentiousness yet with the highest quality, you can find it here. All very tasty. Great wine list that actually has Bogle 'Phantom' red blend--a great find. Our server Ellie was both kind and helpful.
superb lunch in an amazing setting.
fab lunch menu, I think it's £21 for two courses, £25 for three. the food is very good, the service is excellent, relaxed and very friendly and the setting is rustic and beautiful, in the heart of the city.
great value, highly recommended.
We had a very friendly welcome and shown to our table straight away which was inside but they do have a lovely outside eating area now.
The table service from several different staff was always helpful and friendly.
It was restaurant week in Newcastle so we paid £20 for three courses and the food was excellent. We were also served bread,salt and whipped butter at the start which was unexpected.
So I could not fault anything at this restaurant and would highly recommend it.
We booked the banquet hall for our work trip and it's safe to say it did not disappoint. The room was stunning, service was on point and the food was very tasty. It is the nicest place i have ever eaten at! Our group of 40 had not one bad thing to say about the place and want to say a big thanks to the staff for making the experience so stress free and enjoyable.
I absolutely adore Blackfriars. I and my husband regularly come here for a great quality relaxed dining experience.
Recently I have attended two morning cookery classes which were really fun, quite delicious. Josh and Anthony have been the most kind and welcoming hosts, they have great knowledge and are wonderful people to get on with.
We always love to come back, and they've made me a regular with their cookery classes from now on :)
Went here for my graduation meal. The service could not be faulted. I ordered the sole dish for my main but they had ran out so offered cod instead. It was cooked perfectly and very tasty. My step dad has mentioned the duck he had to anyone he can and again says it was cooked perfectly.
We ordered off the set menu which is very reasonably priced for the standard of food and the quality of service received!
One of the party has an intolerance to onions which was dealt with fantastically. The staff were very accommodating.
Would definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely try to come back !
