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.

    As always, tge food was excellent but I can't help but feel that the drinks prices are now at a ridiculous level. I think £8.80 for a 355 ml bottle of cider is just greedy.

    Poor experience. Starter lacked flavour and sauces were not explained. Main was very poor , poached chicken which looked under cooked and pink. Gelatinous texture. Highlighted issue to staff who took it back to chef who returned it saying that was how it was meant to be. Given offer of having it cooked more which I accepted. It came back the same. I ate around the dish as much as possible. Dessert was great however coffee was served well before dessert arrived.
