Anywhere in Newcastle to eat that won't break the bank?

We're going as a family for dinner tomorrow. Dss are adults and it can be expensive eating out. Can anyone recommend somewhere nice but not too expensive? TIA

uno’s on the Quayside. We love it! Sambuca is nearby and even more reasonable but nowhere near as nice.

What sort of budget counts as "not too expensive"? If you're around Jesmond, there's "Taste of Persia" on Osborne Road which is always excellent. (Another branch by the Centre for Life, too.)

Chilli Padi is amazing, near St James

Bloody Hell, is Uno's still there? We used to go as students - my mate worked there (25 years ago!) 😬

MrsJBaptiste - still going strong and DHs favourite from student days too! The DCs love it and it’s nice to go somewhere which isn’t part of a huge chain.

Pani's near the theatre royal is fab

Eat 4 Less in Northumberland St. Or go along the quayside to the Tyne Bar, The Kiln ( does food after 6pm) The Ship, even the Cluny if you like live music

Thank you everyone. Ds1 lives there but I wanted to have some idea seen as I'll probably be paying. We went to a Japanese restaurant last time and it was a fortune.

Was that Aveika? We always laugh as we go past as it looks glitzy to the point of intimidating. Friends say the food is great but I’m not sure that DS would currently stand up to the seemingly bougie dress code. And yes, £££

I really liked Dabbawal...such happy memories....

No. It wasn't glitzy. Think the bottle of Saki probably didn't help the price 🙈

Never been anywhere like it. Really enjoyed it. Some dishes are very spicy. The flavours are amazing.

Pizzas punks is great and easy.

You'll enjoy it. They do breakfast too. Probably lunch?

The Magic Hat. Pay as you feel. Open Friday evenings I think.
