Malmaison Newcastle Bar & Grill

Beautiful atmosphere, food was lovely I had the soup, roast chicken and finished with mango sorbet. Beautiful location overlooking the millennium Bridge! Waiting staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for dinner date or out with friends in a posh environment at reasonable prices. We will be back again soon. Thank you for your service.

We had dinner at the restaurant and we were very pleased and impressed with the venue itself, the food and the staff. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the waitress but she was lovely, friendly and chatty and deserves 10*. The food was good but I would say they are a bit on the pricy side. We had a few cocktails 🍹🍸 (you only have 2 choices here, you either go for the £10 ones or the £12 ones 😂) which were good and with a nice presentation. The dishes had a lovely presentation and was really good. The only issue I had was the chicken breast that I added to my salad 🥗 (salad which was delicious with a good combination of flavours and nice dressing). The chicken breast had way too much oregano 🌿 on it (or at least I believe it was oregano 🌿) and it made the breast to lose all its flavour and all I could taste was the bitterness of the seasoning. In the morning we had breakfast, eggs Benedict which were super and the veggie breakfast which was a bit of a disappointment, given the fact that you could pay £22 for one it is definitely at least double the price of what you actually get, but we had the continental breakfast which was good and fresh. All credit to Mel and Tirso who were lovely and very caring. Overall it was good and I must say the staff here are definitely some of the friendliest we ever meet.

Try the valentine’s special dishes with cocktails and lobster. The portions are generous and the meat is very fresh and tender. Especially the seafood is delicate and juicy. The sauce of shrimp and scallops for the starter is more Mexican, a little spicy and salty but not overpowering. The truffle fries are crunchy, without the truffle bits on the top but the truffle flavour incorporated into the fries. Dessert is toffee Creme pudding, which is a bit sweet but goes well with ice cream. A very filling and satisfying dinner. The waiters are very friendly and patience.

Went for Christmas lunch and we were not dissapointed with the food . Portion sizes were enormous and service outstanding with our lovely host an Irish lady called tassie. She was very attentive and lots of good chat through out the day . Only downfall was being asked to pay a quite large service charge as we had already paid £360 up front for food for 3 adults . We did however pay it as tassie had been lovely
