City favourite Aveika has won the title of Best Restaurant in Newcastle at a UK awards ceremony.
The late-bar and restaurant on Newcastle Quayside was up against stiff competition for the regional title at the British Restaurant Awards and, following a round of public voting, it beat rivals including Michelin star-winner The House of Tides. It is delighted at its success which comes as it looks ahead to a major revamp planned for January.
Aveika, which serves contemporary-style Asian food including a Japanese sushi bar menu, was one of 10 local finalists in the Best Restaurant Newcastle category of the awards which are organised by the World Restaurant Awards Group. Now in its fourth year, the event draws up shortlists from nominations and then opens voting so that customers can have their say.
