Lovage Jesmond

The atmosphere at Lovage is wonderful, we felt relaxed the minute we arrived and we were so well looked after throughout our meal. You get a real sense of passion and commitment from the whole team. We haven't been this excited about food in a very long time! From the very first bite we didn't want it to end. It's rare to find a restaurant that serves such delicious, exciting and authentic food in a relaxed and friendly surrounding. Go to Lovage, you won't be disappointed!

Stunning food and exceptional value. The atmosphere is very relaxed but committed to making sure the guests are getting good service. Highly recommend this Jesmond gem. Oysters were too hard to resist before taking a photo. Short rib was delicious and the hispy cabbage was out of this world. My Dad had the sardines which were also delicious. Everything beautifully plated.

I recently dined at what I can confidently say is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. The décor was beautiful, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere that was perfect for enjoying a delicious meal. But it was the food that absolutely blew me away. The chef is a true artist, able to create bespoke dishes that were simply incredible. Every bite was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. I was particularly impressed with the vegan menu, which had a wide variety of options with ingredients grown in the chef’s own garden. And, to top it all off, the desserts were irresistible. But it wasn’t just the food that impressed me. The service was some of the best I’ve ever experienced. The waitstaff was knowledgeable and attentive, making sure that everything was perfect throughout the meal. It was clear that they were passionate about the restaurant and dedicated to making sure that every guest had a truly unforgettable experience. Overall, I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. If you’re looking for a truly incredible dining experience, this is the place to go. The food is delicious, the service is impeccable, and the entire experience is absolutely unforgettable. Don’t hesitate – book a table today and experience it for yourself!

Fantastic dining experience - great service, fabulous tasting food, very interesting choices in food and drink, relaxing ambience in a tastefully decorated space. We went to celebrate a birthday and as a party that was part vegetarian and the rest which ate meat, we all thoroughly enjoyed the choices we made. The vegetarian choices were superb, carefully crafted and elevated in taste as well as presentation unlike many restaurants which treat the vegetarian options as an afterthought ! The choice of small plates and snack plates to choose a starter from is a superb idea as you can definitely try a dessert too. Portion size for me were perfect but some may find them a little on the small size. Good value for money as I understood the effort to create some of these dishes. We would highly recommend Lovage in Jesmond and will certainly return . The chef certainly understands flavour combinations , loves his or her craft, and celebrates ingredients. Compliments to the chef!

I'm always looking for a new top Sunday Dinner spot in Newcastle. This was nice, but didn't quite hit the mark. We had the oysters to start. The oysters themselves were beautiful, really fresh. The bloody mary granita was a bit jarring though, the texture didn't quite work for us. The starters were lovely, probably the best part of the meal and I think we'd be likely to go back for the normal menu and order a few of these as small plates. The beef on the roast was unreal. Probably the best roast beef I've had in a long time. Unfortunately, just as big a part of the roast dinner is the veg and these just didn't quite hit the mark. The best part was a charred cabbage which was delicious and quite unexpected. The rest of the veg was really bog standard, the mash was a bit tastless and the gravy was okay Not the new Sunday Dinner spot we were looking for, but some lovely ideas and flavours elsewhere

Greatly enjoyed a special occasion meal here. There was no issue with street parking near the restaurant. The food was delicious especially the lobster ravioli as other reviews have mentioned. Steak and chips was also highly rated by my date. The service was to an excellent standard and we felt very welcomed. We would love to return again sometime soon. Pricing is very fair for what you receive in quality and taste. This restaurant has a high integrity feel that is appreciated among other options at this price point in the Newcastle area.

An absolute treasure of a place! Every dish was created with flair and care. The food quality was second to none. The staff, especially co owner, Lisa, took the time and interest to talk to us. The whole team are very passionate about food quality and the comfort and enjoyment of their customers. 100% satisfaction from me and my daughter!

Good food. Reasonable prices. Down to earth vibe. Some staff are quite new, but they’re friendly, which gives the place a rare homely feel. The (relatively) locally sourced ingredients are the stars of the show. It’s not pretentious, the plates are well presented and the prices are quite reasonable - with mains in the £20-30 range with small plates £8-10. Five small plates provides a fair sized dinner for two people and I enjoyed the sardines and the arancini. Tiramisu 👌 Will be returning to take on some of the larger plates.
