Anybody have any restaurant recommendations in Newcastle? We're going to see Bonobo on Friday and want to get something good to eat beforehand. Not too expensive (<£20 mains) and most types of cuisine considered... Cheers!

cheap? Curry Hell at the Rupali is free. If you finish it.

Not sure how popular you will be at the gig though.

I can highly recommend The Big Mussel on the Quayside, particularly their 'Mussel Mania' deal (a treat for both gastronomers and punaholics).

Thanks, I am both.

My favorite at the minute. Scotch eggs and the spicy blood pudding Yum. We often just get a "tapas " style selection of the bar and small plates and leave it up to the waiter.

Not expensive and good beer as well.

You might need to book.

+1 went there 8 or 9 years ago and it was great. There was a Japanese restaraunt kind of opposite it (up the hill on a corner) that was brilliant too - it had a A4 binder size menu!
