The Baltic's rooftop restaurant SIX is offering diners the chance to try its brand new summer tasting menu which has a unique twist.
The fine dining experience will see customers tuck into a selection of plant-based dishes for one night only on Tuesday, June 20.
The Gateshead restaurant, which is famed for offering guests impressive views of the River Tyne as they dine, has promised that the menu is entirely free of animal products such as butter, cream and eggs.

Greg Lambert, food director at SIX Baltic, has created the menu which features courses including celeriac carbonara served with Tofu Bacon and Walnut, as well as tomato tartare, served with avocado cream and corn.
"The idea behind our summer tasting evening menu is to showcase dishes inspired from all over the world that may usually be animal-based but adapted to plant-based without losing flavour," Greg said.
"I eat a lot of plant-based food and wanted to share that we can make top-quality food that is fulfilling and comforting, minus animal products such as butter, cream and eggs. I think this menu delivers that in spades.
"From our summer tasting menu, diners can expect dishes that are fun, tasty and unpretentious, and hopefully will spark ideas for cooking plant-based dishes at home.”
The summer tasting menu by SIX Baltic will be held on Tuesday, June 20 and costs £50 per person. Drinks pairing is an extra £25 per person. Bookings can be made here.
