About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for business meals
21’s cooking is big on flavour and short on fuss. We’re talking about a style which embraces the seasons and where the ingredients are king. Expect to find stylish, imaginative dishes – which don’t pander to fads or fashion…………and still have room for pudding. Expect a warm welcome, generous hospitality and service that is both friendly and correct.

A city centre restaurant with a city centre buzz. In the heart of Newcastle's Quayside, 21 has an excitement and warmth all of its own. Smart but not stuffy, sleek but not pretentious, fun but not gimmicky - It's about eating good food in comfortably stylish surroundings.

Menus include Lunch and Early Evening Fixed Price, Five Course Seasonal and à la Carte.

    Always tasty. Staff seemed a bit distracted and weren’t as on the ball / attentive as usual and it was noticeable. This wouldn’t affect us going back but considering there was only about 4/5 tables and a party in the private dining room, I’d have expected sharp attention to service. Oh, and I’ve had better gimlets too. Never had one served over ice before.

    We had a delicious lunch today. My friends tried the coated sardines which looked great and the spicy lentil soup. Both thoroughly enjoyed them. Two of us had cod with chicken butter sauce served th white beans which was light and moreish; the other had slow cooked lamb which he said was very tasty and a substantial portion. The desserts were the chocolate espresso plate which I had tried before- it’s wonderful - and apple crumble whic h was demolished.

    A superb evening at 21, with excellent food, lovely wine and great service. The restaurant was very busy and very noisy indeed , which made conversation difficult but the dining expriece was top notch as always
