Went for the lunch menu which was tremendous value for money. The squash waffle was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Tried both main courses and the flavours were outstanding - finished off with STP on the waiters recommendation and it was delicious. Service was phenomenal and we will definitely be back. Thanks for an awesome first experience

Excellent service, superb food and always well run and a great experience. Varied fish menu of excellent quality. Great to be able to see the kitchen working, so interesting to see freshly prepared dishes as the plates go out. Always a nice atmosphere to wile away some time and watch the world go by. Great work from all the team.

About the restaurant
21’s cooking is big on flavour and short on fuss. We’re talking about a style which embraces the seasons and where the ingredients are king. Expect to find stylish, imaginative dishes – which don’t pander to fads or fashion…………and still have room for pudding. Expect a warm welcome, generous hospitality and service that is both friendly and correct.

A city centre restaurant with a city centre buzz. In the heart of Newcastle's Quayside, 21 has an excitement and warmth all of its own. Smart but not stuffy, sleek but not pretentious, fun but not gimmicky - It's about eating good food in comfortably stylish surroundings.

Menus include Lunch and Early Evening Fixed Price, Five Course Seasonal and à la Carte.

We were there for a birthday celebration and it didn't disappoint. We chose the six course plant menu, the food was delicious and the staff very polite, attentive without being intrusive. It's a nice venue with lovely city views. We hope to visit again soon.
