    The French Oven Bakery is absolutely divine!! A lovely Artisan bakery in the ever popular Grainger…read moreMarket offering a whole host of different breads, pasties and cakes. What has prompted this review is their mouth watering and delicious rhubarb and custard macaroons that I only discovered last week.....so good that they drew me back every day without fail! If you're a newbie to the French Oven it can be difficult to peruse their selection as it does get pretty busy along the counter but the staff are always more than happy to help and the queue is a reflection of the high quality and fresh food on offer. They also deliver if you want time to consider your order online or buy in bulk. I would highly recommend their macaroons as they are by far the best I've tasted outside of Paris itself! I also tend to favour the sourdough bread or focaccia - so flavoursome and light. Although not a frequent pasty fiend I have sampled their chilli con carne pasty when I was looking for convenience food and it was very tasty although perhaps could have had a bit more filling. Nonetheless I have yet to be disappointed by anything from this little treasure of a bakery.

    Yesterday I emailed the proprietor, Emma, to tell her that her map needed changing, and today I…read morewent along to buy some bread! As you would really, it being a bread shop :-) Anyway, the lady behind the counter was very helpful, and described the bread that was on the back shelves, and I selected a mixed grain. Sitting infont of her on the counter was an interesting dark brown round loaf, with some bright pink bits showing through. She said it was Prawn and something!!! I nearly choked! She said "It's been really popular today and this is the only one left!" I decided I may need to gird my loins a bit more before delving into the dark art of baking to that extreme. I asked if she had a list of the bread they do, and she handed me a Qype card! Whoo hoo for promoting Qype! Not so hot on getting me more info on produce sadly. Maybe a blackboard somewhere with "FreshToday" written on it and a list of bread and cakes available as well as the specials of the day would be very useful I feel. The bread was lovely!

    There is no doubt Portofino's is a stunning and beautiful restaurant and the food is delicious and…read morethe service is great and cost is reasonable but and I know that its quite a long restaurant and there's nowhere for the staff to roam around but to stand nearby opposite diners and watch them eat is quite uncomfortable and off-putting, for me anyway. Also I noticed that as the queue was beginning to grow, I was getting 'the look' and felt a bit pressured to give up my table which was fine as I was preparing to leave but I didn't appreciate the pressure. But I cant take away from the exceptional food and the building and decor is stunning and for that I would recommend Portofino's to others visiting Newcastle.

    Cannot believe I have only just discovered this place! I went here with the girls last night as we…read morewere looking for somewhere cheap and cheerful seeing as it's not quite pay day and we had heard of the happy hour menu offering 2 courses for £8.95. I wasn't expecting such high quality and delicious food at the same time so I was pleasantly surprised! What a beautiful building inside-the roof is quite spectacular and makes this relatively small restaurant radiate grandness! The service was spot on too-very attentive staff who went the extra mile when they had run out of one of the options on their 'sweet of the day' happy hour menu and let us replace it with any other dessert for the same price! My only gripe would be there is nowhere to wait if your table isn't ready and so you end up huddled in the doorway. My friends ordered pasta dishes and I've never seen one of my friends actually finish every mouthful on her plate which was a good sign! I ordered the Pollo di Pancetta which was beautifully cooked with a lovely selection of vegetables. The red wine sauce for me was quite subtle and not as thick as I would have liked but certainly didn't take the shine off the superb quality of the food. For dessert all three of us opted for one of the cheesecakes. All I can say is......wow! I highly recommend this restaurant and wouldn't be deterred from eating here outside of happy hour neither as I think the quality is worth paying for! That said...what an ideal destination for food straight after work!
