   Tucked away close to Newcastle's thousand-year-old castle, the French Quarter is a gem that provides a memorable dining experience. It offers a harmonious blend of exceptional food, warm service, and an inviting ambience. The menu is thoughtfully curated, with French-inspired dishes that highlight a perfect marriage of flavours and freshness. On my visit, I began with an exquisite Rillettes de Porc with some off-menu toasted bread. I followed this with an indulgent Bœuf Bourguignon accompanied by a tangy Gratin Dauphinois and fresh Haricot Vert. The staff were an absolute delight—attentive, friendly, and passionate about their work. They were happy to make recommendations, explaining food combinations with detail and enthusiasm. Every interaction felt personal, adding an extra layer of warmth to my visit. The restaurant offered subtle touches of a French bistro, a cosy yet sophisticated charm. It's perfect for both intimate dinners and lively group get-togethers. It's not budget dining, but the quality of the food, impeccable service, and overall experience justify the cost. Portions are generous, and each dish feels crafted with care. Whether you're a fan of French cuisine or just looking for a memorable culinary experience, the French Quarter delivers on all fronts. I will certainly return.

   This place is lovely with a good range of food and wine. The sharing board was a high and very tasty. The staff were very helpful and friendly. On the negative side whilst my husband found the beaujolais nouveau really good I was disappointed ted bu the wine flight. The wines were not as grand as the price would suggest. For the food the black pudding was a hit whilst the mussels did not have much taste and were supported by the price. Worth a visit or make up your own mind

   Food good as always. In terms of service we received our main course 5 seconds after having finished our starter which whilst being efficient wasn’t what we were looking for on a relaxed night out and not what you expect from a high endish restaurant!
