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.

    Absolutely first class. Delicious pink sirloin with Yorkshire pudding and veg. Beats everywhere in Newcastle for Sunday lunch.

    Was regular visitor a few years ago, but one bad experience and thought it was time to give it a break. Booked today for most of the family and admittedly, with a little trepidation. Pleased to report 10/10 in all areas once again.

    We have never been disappointed at 21 on the Quayside and today’s lunch was up to the usual high standard. Have booked for the week before Christmas as a reward for completing Christmas preparations!

    Wonderful service from start to finish. Three course fixed price menu for lunch was ideal. Our waiter, Oliver was exemplary! Good dining and service is what makes a five star review. We will - and have - made 21 our favourite. PLEASE! Do not change what you are good at! Hats off to Oliver!
