Party of 2, we booked very late and were a few minutes late owing to a typically tardy train. On arrival, service was prompt and we were shown to our table in what was a busy (though by no means very loud) restaurant. I had the steak baguette with frites and my sister went for a pasta dish that was surprisngly plentiful given it was from the light mains menu which was apparently excellent. I asked my steak to be done to medium well done and I may as well have asked for perfection because that was what was delivered. I've been a few times now and never had a bad experience, even during peak demand. The setting is great, the food is invariably great, the staff are lovely, and you are not deafened by music. Is it my favourite restaurant in Newcastle? Yes it is.

We had a lovely experience at No.32 overall. The staff were very pleasant, welcoming and knowledgeable, and the food itself was lovely. The initial service was a little slow, but it wasn’t a problem, and once ordered, the food arrived quickly. There were just a couple of things that could have made the experience even better. Our table for four was very small, especially with food, sides and drinks to accommodate, meaning we ended up having to put some things on the floor to make room. The other issue was the plates. The tin plates on the marble-style tables cooled the food very quickly, particularly the pizzas. By the time we were halfway through eating, the food had already gone cold. Warmer plates, or plates made from a different material, would make a big difference. Our daughter is vegetarian, and the staff were very helpful and accommodating with her requirements, which we really appreciated. The prices were good value for money, and despite the few things that could be improved, we had a good experience. With slightly bigger tables and plates that help keep the food warm, No.32 would be even better. We’d happily visit again!
