Jesmond, French Restaurant Guide

A “reliable” neighbourhood restaurant and wine bar from Loire Valley native Cédric Boc-Ho and Northumberland-born wife Catherine which is set under the old railway arches near Newcastle Central station. Its “very sound” French brasserie food (“tapas-style” in part, though there is also a well-priced ‘formule du midi’) makes it “ideal for lunch”, but the cosy all-rounder is “also a good evening spot” too.
