Restaurants near metrocentre

The place is modern clean and on a busy night lively the food was very good, service was great and wasn’t hounded for more drinks. The olives were by far the best I’ve tasted, when asked for the bill the lady promptly brought it over and pointed out that a service charge had been added which is what I liked, up front and not hidden like other restaurants I go to. On all great experience for my husband’s birthday

Beautiful meal as always. Hearty traditional food with an element of fine dining. Always love it here. Service was excellent and as it was my husbands birthday they brought him his desert with a candle and sang happy birthday to him!

Excellent Friday lunch during restaurant week with my father. Starters of double cheese souffle and game terrine with an excellent chutney, mains of chicken in tarragon sauce was polished off by dad and I had a very rich belly pork with black pudding and apple sauce, which was delicious, earthy and unctuous. Had an excellent cheese plate off the al a carte menu followed by rhubarb and ginger sorbet for us both. Coffee with delicious truffles rounded off the meal An excellent and competitive wine list, we had a bottle of Californian merlot which was very fruity, mellow which complimented the starters, followed by an Italian pinot nero which was a little lighter but delicious, for my money the merlot just had the edge. A plum sake with dessert really complimented the tastes of the sorbet. A very relaxing 3 hr lunch, restaurant was full and quite buzzy during the entire time, service was quick, polite and unobtrusive. An excellent lunch.

We've been to Cote in Wimbledon many times, and the one in Chichester, but never to the Newcastle branch. Cote is always reliable, so we expected to have a good experience, and we certainly did. Starting off by being welcomed with a glass of fizz each because it was my wife's birthday, which was a pleasant surprise (never quite sure if ticking those 'special occasion' boxes works, but this one did!). We also partly booked because it was Newcastle Restaurant Week, but by the time we'd upgraded ourselves with the steak frites and the wine we ended up spending about twice what we'd intended - but worth every penny. The staff were friendly and efficient, the atmosphere very pleasant (packed but not noisy), the food really good - I have to single out the chocolate mousse, which was divine, but the steak also was tasty, in fact it was all top notch. We'll definitely be back.

This was a birthday meal and it did not disappoint! Food and service was exceptional can’t wait to return
