The 13 BEST restaurants in Newcastle right now

This week saw Tripadvisor’s Traveller's Choice Award winners named, with some of the top hotels, restaurants and destinations.

Although we know Newcastle is full of top restaurants that serve a variety of cuisines from across the world, no North East eateries were included in the awards this year.

We don’t think that is fair though, and there’s nothing we love more than showing off the best Tyneside has to offer, even if they are underappreciated by people from outside the region!

So if you’re in the mood for a burger, pizza, pasta, sushi, a curry or something else, we are sure that there will be a venue in Newcastle that can serve it.

Here is some of the top-rated restaurants in and around Newcastle with more than 500 reviews on TripAdvisor.

Tripadvisor rankings are based on user reviews, weighted on a series of factors including the frequency, quality and quantity of the public round ups. This is why some attractions may be lower ranked than others, despite a higher overall average rating or having more reviews.
