St. Vincent is an after-work drinks spot, supper-with-friends place and general 'snack-with-a-glass-or-two' hang out with a big-hearted 'everybody welcome' attitude. Inspired by the neighbourhood bars we've found on our travels through France and Italy, we offer interesting wines, charcuterie and crowd pleasing plates full of punchy flavours. We're a place where an hour spins into several without anyone noticing. Open evenings Tuesday to Friday, all day Saturday and close late. Enough said. Come and find out.

    My wife and I are Edinburgh residents, so make only occasional visits to Newcastle, but when we do and want to celebrate a special occasion, Dobson and Parnell on the Quayside is one of the first places we think of. On Thursday we booked it for lunch to celebrate a family member's birthday, and it did not disappoint! As always, the service and the food were excellent, and we love the ambience - and the location. After lunch we had a very pleasant walk along the Quayside.

    We had a wonderful evening at The French Quarter yesterday with my partner and our friend. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the team and, despite being around 20 minutes early for our booking, we were seated straight away without any issue. This was our second visit and once again everything was excellent. The service was friendly, attentive and relaxed throughout the evening. The staff really make you feel welcome and create such a comfortable atmosphere. The food and drinks were fantastic and enjoyed by all of us. Each course was beautifully presented, full of flavour and clearly prepared with care. We also really appreciated that we were never rushed between courses or at the end of the meal, which made the whole experience feel even more enjoyable and relaxed. We absolutely love this place and it has quickly become one of our favourite restaurants in Newcastle. A huge well done and thank you to the whole team at The French Quarter — we’ll definitely be back again soon.

    Dined with my 19 year old son and we were both delighted with our food. Small menu but still plenty of choice over an exciting array of dishes. All cooked to perfection. Lovely, attentive service without being too obtrusive. Definitely recommend
