Hibou Blanc

Recently visited Hibou Blanc for a celebratory lunch with friends after a decidedly mediocre lunch during the lockdown that discouraged me from returning. I'm glad we did as the French bistro-style food was good and the servers were informed and welcoming. I would now welcome suggestions to return and dine again.

Aug. 2023 Edit… our first visit was fabulous, our second visit was even better and a shout out to Amy and Grace who both provided excellent service 💕 We visited here for a birthday, a little impromptu and last minute booking. The service, food, cocktail choices all excellent. Well worth visiting and made a birthday that extra bit more special.

Had a lovely time at Hibou Blanc for Newcastle Restaurant Week. We ordered: Leeks Vinaigrette (the pickled mustard seeds on top were particularly delightful) Cheese Souffle (light, fluffy and packed with cheddar goodness) Fishcake Pork Shoulder with Caponata and Rainbow Chard (my favourite dish of the evening) Chocolate pound cake (the cherries on top were boozy and fun) Almond Financier with apricots (the pleasant surprise of the evening!) Service was jovial, attentive and speedy and both Ashleigh and I left feeling very satisfied!

A great restaurant and stylish bar, with the entrance tucked away on High Bridge Street. Arriving on a very damp evening, we were delighted to find that the restaurant staff offered to hang our coats - much better than having to hang a soggy garment on the back of your chair and then lean back on it! These little things matter... The restaurant was very busy, but service was still good. The food really was excellent, perfectly cooked and packed full of flavour (read some of my other reviews, you'll find I have no problem calling out restaurants that deliver poor service, food, or both...). If you want a great meal in excellent surroundings, give Hibou Blanc a try...

Lovely service from the Irish lady, food was brilliant. Can't believe this is in Newcastle, when you're inside it would feel like in central London. The only downfall hence why the 4* would be the music, it was only ourselves in at the time but the music was not really for the place, maybe for a club/bar but not for the standard of this restaurant. I would come back again for a nice glass of red.

Wow! Hibou Blanc is undoubtedly one of the best restaurant bars in Newcastle. The atmosphere is delightful, creating the perfect setting for a fantastic evening. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff providing exceptional customer service throughout our visit. We were fortunate to secure a seat by the window, and the romantic lighting added to the enchanting ambiance. I highly recommend Hibou Blanc to anyone seeking a drink in a romantic setting. Whether it's a special occasion or simply a desire for a memorable night out, this place delivers. Don't miss the opportunity to indulge in their exquisite offerings and soak in the charming atmosphere. Hibou Blanc truly exceeded our expectations and left us with unforgettable memories.
