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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
21 offers a culinary experience that is both "spectacular" and "out of this world." Known for its "fantastic food" and "superb service," it's perfect for special occasions. The menu is a delightful mix of seasonal and local produce, with vegan options available. Although on the pricier side, the quality and ambiance make it worthwhile.

    Robert Oakley wine dinner Food was excellent Tart tatin with black pudding was a revelation. Wines were very good as good as French Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon at a fraction of the price. A very enjoyable evening.

    Whilst the restaurant was very busy it had no impact on service, quality of food or ambience which was surprising. I had the lobster and chicken pie which was fantastic. Also I had their dessert soufflé which was also amazing! Everyone in our group of four was delighted though I was the only one to try something new! It is expensive but worth it!
