We ordered a selection of tapas from roasted cauliflower, calamari, garlic chilli prawns, lamb chops and the incredible chorizo (you need to order this). Food was delicious and we finished up with desserts, the lemon mouse being our favourite! We had a great experience here and some really good tapas if you’re craving it coming back from those summer holidays. We can’t wait to return for the new menu in October!

We had the sea bass cooked in a clay oven and it was perfection, not to mention the potatoes And the hummus which easily rivals the hummus I have eaten in the Middle East. The staff are warm and lovely, the ambience is great and we will most certainly be back next time we are in Newcastle. I really recommend this place.
