We tried to go to the Byron down the street but we were told that they couldn't seat 7, even though their Newcastle branch could. So we walked down the street, and had the choice of Zizzi and Gourmet Burger, so we picked Gourmet Burger. After a while, we were seated and we ordered. I had a cheeseburger with skin-on fries and they were both great and freshly cooked too! We did have to wait a while to get our food but it was well worth the wait. I was almost defeated by my gigantic burger! I wanted a salted caramel milkshake but I forgot that they had milkshakes. Silly me. The toilets were very clean but had one of those hand dryers that keeps turning on and off randomly, so that was annoying and I ended up having to use the toilet roll to dry my hands. Apart from this, everything was perfect!

Fat Hippo Newcastle seems to be one of the few restaurants in the city actually open past 9 pm,…read moreafter being turned away from half a dozen restaurants nearby that either had closed early or closed due to their timetabled opening hours, I decided to visit Fat Hippo. It is located just off Grey Street, head down the steps into the main restaurant area. I was looking for this place on my Apple Maps and did have some difficulty as the sign from outside isn't too noticeable. The staff seemed friendly and explained how most of the menu could be adapted to be gluten-free - I ended up going for the American Burger, on the menu this was described as "Double patty, American cheese, pickles, ketchup + American mustard. Includes a FREE SIDE of your choice!" I would have liked to see a wider variety of burgers on the menu, perhaps with some different and more exciting sauces - only the more premium burgers seemed to come with the Fat Hippo sauce or truffle mayo. With smashed burgers being in right now, I was surprised they didn't offer them on the menu here. My food was just OK, the fries were really skinny and a little too thin for my liking, but they were still seasoned well. My burger again was average, the meat was reasonably juicy for the type of patty used, the cheese was fine, the sauces were slightly cheap and it felt like it was overloaded around the edges, and not enough in the middle. The gluten-free bun wasn't too bad - certainly not the worst I've had but also not the best either. 3* - The food was average, if you're looking for a bite later into the evening in Newcastle, this is one of the few options, so for that it's good, I would be unlikely to return if other places were open nearby though but it's nice to have a reliable choice in the city if all else fails.

You get some salad and some crisps on the plate with your burger, and it's extremely filling. Whether want a quick bite to eat, a take-away sandwich, just some tea or a full meal, it's great for everything. Take-away tends to be just salads and sandwiches etc. but you can get burgers, jacket potatoes, paninis etc. if you sit in the cafe. The waiters are all friendly and professional, but it also has a cosy cafe feel to the place. It can get quite busy around lunch time so, unless you're grabbing take-away, expect to spend some time there. You never feel like you're being rushed to finish your food though, it's all very relaxed.

Large enough selection of beers and ciders to go along with their reasonable prices. Got a burger to eat and quickly realized the burger was made with either onion powder or small pieces of onion, which for me (an onion hater), didn't work but really the amount of onion wasn't all that much so I ate most of the burger. Onion haters can taste the onion in anything! I would have eaten the entire burger but my eyes were bigger than my stomach so I became too full, too quickly. All burgers served with chips and a smile :) They also had a few board games to choose from as well as a fusball table. I would def go again and try one of the other choices to put on a bun (chicken, mushroom, falafel, sausage) or their ribs and wings!

The food is all home-made, from bread and burgers to cakes and relish and the ingredients are mostly locally sourced. The service is great, the staff are extremely friendly and happy to suggest other places of interest to visit in and around the area. The real stars however are the food and interior. The menu is varied, I have only eaten during the day but there are light snacks and larger lunches; the vegetarian burger and chips is fantastic. For a restuarant in such a tourist hop-spot it is reasonably priced and blows the competition out of the water in terms of quality and freshness. The interior is wondefull; artfully comfortable and relaxing. There is plenty to look at whilst you wait for your food-the aged ceiling beams hung with bunches of dried flowers and candles which sounds twee but isn't at all. The toilet is incomparable, like visiting the home of a slightly bohemian but clean obsessed aunt! All in all I can't reccommend this more highly, although if that means I can't get a table when I next go maybe I'll reconsider this review!
