   We went there for my daughter’s 24th birthday. Very busy but we were last sitting and our table was still ready on time. Regrettably we were over a condensation drip - but the restaurant apologized and moved us immediately … again benefit of last sitting. Staff attentive. Service prompt. Food quality mostly excellent. We had to large cheese / cured meet boards and 15 small plates for 4 of us. Value for money - Cheese portions were a little too small for GBP9. For quality - only complaint the escargots - the garlic was undercooked (crunchy) and over powering. Great bottle of wine. Total bill GBP250 + service. And they gave my daughter a birthday dessert and candle. Great night. Will definitely be back.

   Our first visit to the French Quarter. A really classy yet quirky restaurant which has a great atmosphere and rustic decor. The service was incredibly attentive with very knowledgeable staff who were always professional and friendly. We felt very well looked after. We had a mixed sharing board, escargot and bread to start. The main was a take on a Tapas where we shared the dishes. I was not expecting this and it elevated the experience as we both got to sample a number of different dishes. It felt very authentically French and we enjoyed all the dishes, particularly the beef and ratatouille Some great wine choices also but no room for desert. A really lovely evening and a restaurant I’d highly recommend.

   Staff were really nice. Booked a bar table but offered a high table instead when one came available. Very attentive and friendly. Food was tasty and overall really lovely evening.

   I personally think this is the best food in Newcastle, it's a big claim but this place really works to back it up. All the food and drink is well chosen and beautifully executed, I've never had a meal here I didn't enjoy, indeed some of the best meals I've ever eaten have been here, and I've never felt like the food was worse than the last time I visited despite it being a few years since I first came here. Fantastic restaurant I cannot recommend it highly enough.

    This is my absolutely favourite place and if I lived in Newcastle permanently I would be here ALL the time. The physical space is cozy. The food is amazing…I had the black olive tapenade, the sea bream and green beans and a lovely banana and chocolate mousse for dessert. The wine selection is so interesting. Anyway, I’m in Newcastle till March 14…I hope you don’t get tired of me 🤪. And, a special shout out to Tirina (I’m sure I mucked that spelling up 😬). I’m always made to feel so welcome…thank you!
