This are definitely made fresh to order. I liked the fact they had morcilla on the menu, it was delicious and I can also recommend crocettas. The tortilla de patatas could have been better, I found it to be like the ones you find in the supermarket in Spain, not the home made ones and it was clear it had been heated in the microwave, however it was still good. Will definitely be going back when I'm up here........... And so I went back and it was awful! The food was gross and stingy on the portions and my husband and I ended up sick after ordering the shrimp. Not sure what happened but avoid this place!

We ordered from the tapas menu (not sure if they have a full dinner menu?) and shared 5 tapas, which was plenty for the two of us. The tapas selection had a great variety, lots of choices. Our server was very helpful when we had questions about the portions and preparation of the food. The cost of the meal and bottle of wine was very reasonable and as expected for a tapas restaurant. I would certainly recommend this place!

Staff were great, happy to chat about the culture of the food (if you want to) and happy to teach some basic Spanish if you are up for the challenge. The food, well it was amazing. The choices were great, a real cross selection they also did a black rice paella (died with squid ink) only seen that in Valencia so was great to try. Taste wise everything was spot on, Spanish food cooked in a traditional way. Could have easily have been in a decent place in Spain. Price was great, even got a card for 50% off via a postcard for them to post to a friend/family member. (Or You was even allowed) Over all I honestly don't have a bad or passive word to say about the place, food, staff or prices. One of my first suggestions when people ask about anywhere to eat. MUST GO ............................... 2nd Visit - Just as amazing on the lunch time menu. BEST SPANISH FOOD IN NEWCASTLE

For my birthday dinner, we enjoyed one of the best meals we've ever had in Newcastle. The food was…read moretruly exceptional, and we'd wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. The restaurant is small and beautiful - definitely make a reservation - and the atmosphere is romantic. The menu apparently changes often, and bear in mind that if you love any particular thing you eat, it may well be available to buy and take home with you! Apparently they sell their divine black pudding, various meats and cheeses, and their house olive oil (which we took home with us for a great price). I don't know if some of the things we ate are gone from the menu now, but we had their "rice of the week" (black rice with seafood), tuna tartare with avocado, black pudding with some kind of apple sauce, a meat and cheese plate, and.... I know we had more, but the menu isn't online anymore so I can't recall! I think we had some kind of squid in a parsley pesto sauce too that was light and fresh. I will say everything was absolutely exceptional - the black pudding was the best I've ever had, and the tuna/avocado dish was impossibly fresh. The plates are beautifully presented and the flavors are outstanding. Clearly, they know what they are doing in the kitchen. We thought the food was 5-star quality, no doubt, but the service could have really used some improvement. My husband would ask for another beer and then it would seem to be forgotten, as would my water. We asked several times for the bread we ordered, not wanting to eat the charcuterie without it, but it seemed to take ages. The servers were certainly friendly (and served me a glass of cava without judging my pregnant self), but we often found ourselves waiting a long time for whatever it was we had asked for. It did interfere significantly with our enjoyment of the evening, which was too bad since the food was exceptional and the prices were actually quite good for a meal of this quality. Still, it wasn't enough to deter us from recommending it to everyone. We will certainly be back, and hope our next visit is even better.

The tapas selection for the lunch special included a variety of seafood, meats, and other tapas regulars like olives and breads. The chorizo was good but could have been more tender. Mushrooms and tortilla were okay... But the calamares' and garlic mayo sauce was delicious and La Vina meatballs were flavorful and tender. The meal included a free basket of bread with tomato and olive oil dipping sauces so it wasn't a surprise we were quickly full and couldn't even finish our tapas. The waiters were attentive throughout our meal. Considering how inviting and relaxing the ambiance is, it's such a good deal for two people. I could definitely imagine myself meeting up with some girlfriends for a chic and cheap meal.. if it weren't across the Atlantic.

Out of curiosity... I made a note to look up the meaning of Dacantus (this is a Spanish place, only one person working here (the bartender when we arrived) isn't Spanish) - the closest I could get was "wine aerator" but I think that's because there's a wine aerator branded Decantus. We'd never seen Beefeater 24, so hubs ordered one with grapefruit and cardamon garnish and Fever Tree Light Tonic £6.50. When hubs tasted this, he said "wow" very softly and his eyes lit up. I had Bombay Sapphire with juniper berries and lemon peel and Slim Schweppes Tonic £5.95. They really twisted those peels to get as much aromatic oil out of them as possible (and they did it with two sets of tongs, not their bare fingers). The cardamon was a ground spice. The ice was very large - less dilution of the cocktails. I liked the juniper berries quite a bit. We were offered an aperitif to accompany our gin & tonics, chicken in a mustard sauce, quite tasty. Then we ordered the pork cubes. Not at all what we expected! It was a larger portion and the food was universally delicious! We'll be back in summer of 2016!
