10 Restaurants With the Best Outside Seating In Newcastle

Newcastle offers a lot of amazing restaurants spread across the city. Many agree that the best ones are the restaurants with outdoor seating, especially now that everyone is out here trying to enjoy the sun as much as they can. It may be slightly difficult to know where the best ones are located around the city so here is a list of 10 restaurants with the best outside seating in Newcastle.

1. Bonbar

Bonbar definitely deserves its reputation as the best outside seating in Newcastle. Located in the heart of the city, Bonbar is a three-in-one spot: restaurant, bar and late lounge. It is in the iconic assembly rooms building but has a spacious outside area, overlooking the old town city centre. At just 10 minutes walk from Newcastle central station, this place offers a variety of food and events, from their traditional Sunday lunch to the afternoon tea. All enjoyable from the outside seating facing the sun. The weekends at Bonbar are considered a huge thing as it becomes a club in the late lounge area. People seem to be loving this place and bookings run out quickly so you might need to book weeks in advance if you are planning to pay them a visit.

2. The Botanist

The Botanist is one of the most popular restaurants in the city due to the stunning and centric location. Situated in Newcastle’s Monument Mall and spread across two floors, this restaurant has a lovely garden terrace that offers stunning views over the city centre. This vintage point outside seems to be the spot everyone tries to get as soon as they get inside the restaurant. At the Botanist, diners can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, offered with live music every day, as they appreciate the stunning view and the sun.


3. Pitcher and piano

Pitcher and piano is another popular spot that fills in quickly on sunny days. It has got a picturesque location, overlooking the River Tyne and one of Newcastle’s iconic and proudest monuments: the Millennium bridge. Pitcher and piano is the ideal spot for these summer afternoons, where you can relax on their outside terrace with a glass of wine or your favourite cocktail. However, you may have to go there early as it gets busy quickly, especially during the weekends

The unique venue also has a pleasant outdoor area, where diners can sit and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the city centre. Barluga is popular for its sophisticated dishes that praise the authentic British cuisine. The food is great and the location is perfect, right in the heart of the city.


6.Las iguanas

Las iguanas is located in two distinctive areas in the city: one restaurant is in Grey Street, the vintage most centric area of Newcastle and the other is located at the Quayside, the modern and innovative area of this lively Geordie city. Las iguanas’ specialities are south American flavours, with various tapas, Brazilian or Mexican burritos and much more. All enjoyable sitting inside and outside.
