Menu

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.

USP

·         Brilliant service

·         Excellent value for money

·         A great casual dining experience

·         A great excuse to pop into the fantastic Food Hall

Verdict

Highly Recommend – The BEST PIZZA in a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Main Menu

Book a Table

Osaka is situated on Grey Street, Newcastle, one of the most beautiful streets in Britain.  This restaurant has been on my to-do-list for quite a while but last night I tried it out for the first time.

Osaka is a contemporary Japanese, Sushi and Noodle Restaurant which prides itself on serving FRESH, BEAUTIFUL & DELICIOUS food – It certainly did deliver!

This little gem brings Japanese food at its best to Newcastle city centre.  The staff greeted us with a smile and promptly took us to our table.  It may have been a Tuesday evening but the restaurant was fully booked so we were glad that we had booked ahead.

The menu has a great selection of dishes and also has a set menu; we chose to dine from the main menu.  There was so much to choose from that we were spoilt for choice.  It did take some time for us to finally decide on our dishes.  I will definitely have to re-visit Osaka very soon to order the dishes that I didn’t.

The food was amazing; it definitely provides what it promises – the food was fresh, beautiful and delicious and excellent value for money.

The staff were extremely friendly and very attentive and helped with our final decisions for menu choices.  It is definitely a restaurant that I will be visiting again very soon. 

What we ordered:

Starters

Chicken Katsu £6.20

Salmon, Tuna & Eel Sushi £6.40

Mains:

Eel & Tobiko Fried Rice £11.80

Teriyaki Salmon Bento Box – this includes; salad, Japanese pickles, salmon sashimi 3pcs, maki 2pcs, sushi 2pcs, rice and miso soup. £15.50

 All the dishes were absolutely delicious – I eat sushi a lot and this has to be the best that I have tasted.   I ordered the Chicken Katsu and the Bento Box but really I should have just ordered the box as there was a lot of food.  However I did manage to eat every last grain of rice.

USP

·         Excellent service

·         Excellent value for money

·         Fantastic presentation and attention to detail

·         A great casual dining experience

·         If you can’t eat it all they allow you to take home ‘doggy bags’

Verdict

Highly Recommend – great food in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
