Brand-new fish restaurant Osters opens its doors in Gosforth

A brand-new restaurant guaranteed to delight fish lovers has opened its doors in Gosforth. 

Osters, which is the sister restaurant to the acclaimed North East eatery, Lovage in Jesmond, has been launched on Gosforth’s High Street.

Chef Kleo Tabuku has devised the menu for Osters, which is made up of a variety of fish-based starters, main courses, and snacks.

Starters include; tuna tartare with kimchi emulsion and bottarga, tempura cod cheeks with aioli and fennel pollen, and a lobster ravioli with fish sauce, cured salmon, with pickles and a burnt orange and beetroot emulsion. 

Main dishes include; grilled octopus and squid cassoulet, clam and mussel linquine and wild bass served with dill crushed potatoes, smoked leeks and sauce vierge.

Osters will also serve Lindisfarne oysters, which will be served with Hepple gin and tonic granita or grilled with creamy samphire and pangrattato – crispy breadcrumbs.

For those after a more traditional fish feast, Osters will also be serving classic fish and chips with their own unique twist.

But for those not into fish dishes, Osters are also offering a range of meat dishes such as slow cooked ox cheeks and braised lamb shank and vegetarian offerings of pumpkin ravioli with caramelised walnuts and romesco port cream, as well as a chestnut roast with cranberry stuffing.

There are also a selection of delicious desserts to tuck into, including the spiced orange cake, plum and star anise compote which gives a festive flavour, along with dark chocolate tart or crema catalana with peppercorn shortbread.

Osters are committed to using locally sourced and seasonal products. 

Chef Tabaku, who also owns Lovage in Jesmond, said: “Lovage has been incredibly popular which is why we are delighted to be able to bring the same quality of food and the same sensibilities to Osters.

“It’s an opportunity for us to once again showcase a wide variety of flavours and tastes which we hope will surprise and delight everyone.”
