The French Quarter is a relaxed neighbourhood restaurant & wine Bar in a community of unique and quirky businesses in Newcastle city Centre. We are a friendly and approachable team of people, with a passion for the good things in life. Born from nostalgia for a traditional style of commerce and a desire to challenge perceptions that French dining is formal or fussy, we work with independent suppliers to offer a regularly changing wine list & tapas style menu. We have created a casual and sociable environment where customers are invited to experience our food, try our wines, shop from our deli and share our love of all things French!

    Nice ambience, good food. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Ladies toilets were poor. Bad design of sink and lots of water on floor plus poor hand dryer.

    Fantastic discovery. Interesting location and uncluttered decor. The main reason for visiting is the excellent food - grazing plate style and the delicious wine. We enjoyed the wine of moment- a fresh Sauvignon. The team were very comfortable in their roles. We enjoy a bit if chat. Very well ran and highly recommended.

    Our first visit . A pleasant surprise! Adequately staffed (rarity in this day and age) and more so, the staff were very helpful with the menu. It was an inclusive menu which catered for vegetarians,vegans and the carnivores as well. The food we ordered met/exceeded expectations. The house wine was excellent. All said and done, will be visiting this establishment again!

    A Thursday lunchtime is probably a good time to visit - neither too quiet nor too busy. Service prompt and food delivered to table in good time. Even with only one small drink and one on standard menu, £67 was racked up all too quickly, considering the sizes of portions. Next time, I shall study the menus more, and will probably find better value. So, OK but I'll be a better customer next time

    My reviews are becoming predictable for The French Quarter. We had a lovely meal pre-mother`s day and the experience started the moment we arrived, being greeted like friends. We had our usual table and the service was so friendly and then the food arrived. We had a couple of dishes we had not tried before and were not disappointed, all so lovely. For drinks we had cocktails and the bar staff make them very well indeed. We definitely recommend TFQ to everyone!!
