Simpsons Cafe & Bistro

A hidden gem in Newcastle! Had a very lovely lunch in Simpsons Cafe! Must-say this is the best Indonesian food I've ever tried in the UK coming from an Indonesian! The owners Derek and Uci were so welcoming and friendly to us from start to end. We tried most of the menu and we'd say each of them is a 10 out of 10 for us. This is definitely a must visit place, totally recommend the Opor Ayam! We will surely be visiting again, wish we found this place sooner :)

Friendliest and most welcoming restaurant I have ever been to. Relaxing and laid back. The food was out of this world. 💫 On a short break in Witley Bay, I popped in for a coffee with my Grandmother and liked the place so much I brought the family back later for an Indonesian meal. Even came back the next day for an english breakfast! There was choice for everyone, the most eaters, vegetarians and even my fussy eater youngest child. We were made to feel so welcome. Nothing was too much bother and the kids were kept happy and laughing the whole time. By far the easiest and best night out I've had.

Went for an evening meal with family. It's a small little cafe/restaurant serving Indonesian food which was absolutely delicious, even my 13 year old ate it all! I can honestly say the warm welcome and attention from the owner and staff was one of the best I have had in an eatery, but not just the staff, even the fellow diners were incredibly friendly and welcoming (maybe it's a North East thing?). Enjoyed it so much we went back for breakfast the next day and again wasn't disappointed, they were very accommodating in the meals especially for 2 much younger children who again ate it all. Thoroughly recommend Simpson's Cafe If you're in Whitley Bay. (didn't see Homer though but did take Elvis :)

Just had our first meal here tonight and everything about this place is amazing. Fabulous food and even the "small portions " were a really good size. The butter prawns were to die for as were the spring rolls. Beef rendang and Prawn curry were very tasty. My husband enjoyed his Goose IPA and even the pot of tea had 2 teabags in....never had this before!! What really added to the experience was the excellent and really friendly service from the 2 ladies. Wish we had found this place sooner as it's local to us but now we intend to visit regularly. Will look forward to our next visit. Well done all at Simpsons
