House of Tides is the brainchild of Kenny and
Abbie, who opened the restaurant on the famous
Newcastle Quayside in February of 2014. Set
within a 16th-century ex-merchant’s townhouse, a
short distance from the iconic Tyne Bridge, House
of Tides is spread over two levels, with a bar on the
flagstoned ground floor and the main restaurant
upstairs on the first. Seasonality is the order of the
day here, with menus prizing local produce and the
finest ingredients from throughout the North East,
cooked to perfection and presented with panache.
Wine pairing is available with lunch and dinner,
and popular main courses include Goosnargh
duck and Orkney scallops. The highly-rated venue
received a Michelin star and 3 AA Rosettes in
2015, and was also named AA UK Restaurant of
the Year 2015-2016 and North East Restaurant of
the Year 2014-2015.
HOUSE OF TIDES
21 BISTRO
Trinity Gardens, Quayside
Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 2HH
0191 222 0755
Located on the Quayside in the core of Newcastle,
21 supplies the ideal spot for a sumptuous meal
and delicious drink. The restaurant came into being
in 1988, when restaurateur/chef Terry Laybourne
first flung open the doors of ‘21 Queen Street’ to
the general public. Rebranded in the mid 00s as
Café 21, the venue would relocate to nearby
Trinity Gardens, forming part of a coveted new
enclave of eateries and bars close by the Law
Courts. Repurposed as something of an upmarket
bistro, Café 21 would win plaudits for its food and
service, much as 21 Queen Street had before it.
Don’t expect to be blindsided by artful tricks or
style over substance: what you’ll get is sumptuous
dishes like seared scallops with pea purée, bacon
and black pudding; confit of duck with French
beans, Lyonnaise potatoes, thyme and rosemary;
and slow-cooked shoulder of beef in red wine, with
glazed onions and carrots.
