Fuego at Fenwick - Newcastle upon Tyne
39 Northumberland Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE99 1AR
0191 2325100
Fuego is
situated in the fantastic brand new multi million pound re-vamped Food Hall
within Fenwick Newcastle. Fuego is a Mediterranean wine bar and restaurant
which serves tapas, charcuterie and hand-stretched pizzas.
I’ve been
to the wine bar many times whilst shopping in the amazing Food Hall with
Fenwick but have never ate within the
restaurant however I’ve always left with my mouth watering after looking at
other customers meals.
The wine
bar and restaurant has an excellent vibe – it is a great place to visit for
lunch, after work drinks or evening meal.
Actually it is a great place to visit whenever you go to Newcastle. The
restaurant is centred on a wood-stone oven, its name inspired by the feature
stone at the centre of the impressive dining space.
The menu has
a great selection of dishes that would suit anyone whether they just wanted a
bite to eat with a glass of wine or an evening meal. I could’ve ate everything on the menu so it did take some time for us to finally
decide on our dishes. I will definitely
have to re-visit Fuego very soon to order the dishes that I didn’t.
The food
was amazing; my pizza was the best that I have had in years – it was absolutely
delicious. Also the staff are extremely
professional, very friendly and attentive; they never let my glass go empty.
It is
definitely a restaurant that I will be visiting again very soon.
What we ordered:
For
starter we shared Paela Arancini and Crispy Calamari with Saffron Aioli. This could not have been better.
For main I
had the Marino Pizza; Tiger Prawns, Calamari, Chilli, Black Olives and Capers
(my mouth is watering at the thought, if I was not in York at the moment I
would be heading straight to Fuego to get another pizza)
My friend
had the Carbonara pizza; Pancetta, egg and shaved parmesan.
All the
dishes were absolutely delicious – especially my pizza, next time I may try the
Finochiona Pizza; Tuscan Fennel Salami (this was highly recommended by our
waiter). If it is as good as the Marino
Pizza I thinking I will be dining at Fuego extremely frequently.
