I was very kindly invited along to the launch of Manny’s Pizza Deli as they plan to bring New York pizza to the heart of Newcastle. Owner Olly Henderson is the man behind Capology, another Newcastle business, and soon plans to open the doors on two more Manny’s outlets.
When Priya Mishra opened Angeethi less than two years ago in Low Fell, one thing was clear. She didn’t want the restaurant to go down the fusion cuisine route. Instead, traditional family dishes are served with skill and style by the highly experienced kitchen team with a nod to Indian street food.
Priya’s passion and enthusiasm for the food she presents is boundless and at the forefront is a strong desire to quash the belief that you can only eat curry after 5 pints of lager. This is the driving force behind the partnership with HB Clark wines and the Sommelier and Spice tasting evening. With Sommelier David Robertson on hand to curate a perfectly matched selection we were in for a treat.
Unless you have been under a rock, you will have noticed all the hype surrounding the relaunch of the Malmaison Brasserie – Chez Mal Brasserie. You can check out the buzz on Twitter using #chezmal
We were invited along to the launch party which saw host of celebrities like Sting and other pseudo celebs turn out to toast the launch of the revamped restaurant. With live music and cocktail stations manned and ready to satiate your thirst and a huge selection of food that showcased the skills of the kitchen team. The attention to detail for the launch was just outstanding.
The main, notable changes in the property were the bar and restaurant trading places. No more afternoon cocktails with a view of the quayside. The bar space has been moved to the back of the floor and expanded to accommodate more seating and bodies. A very chic area.
The Chez Mal Brasserie now sits front and centre. Large picture windows overlooking the Millennium Bridge afford the restaurant a sense of light and an airy feeling which wasn’t met in it’s old position. I can see people clamouring for a luxe booth or the coveted tables for 2 in front of the windows.

Café Royal, on Nelson Street in Newcastle city centre, is one of those places that we all have on our list. You always mean to try it but never get round to it.
After seeing a fellow foody rave about their visits over on Twitter, we finally bit the bullet and paid a visit for breakfast. It was a toss up between here and Tyneside Café but as we passed here first, we ducked in.
I am firmly on the fence in regards to Café Royal and you can read why……

Tucked away in a modern residential development, The Staiths Cafe is a jewel in it’s crown. With a stunning view over the iconic, listed Staiths on the banks of the River Tyne, the cafe is a great place to relax away from the hustle and bustle of city centre life.
