American restaurant Victors could be coming to the prominent former Las Iguanas building on Newcastle Quayside later this year.
Plans have been submitted to Newcastle City Council for a £1.5m eatery that will cater for 175 diners, including 80 outside eating spaces, and create 50 full-time jobs. Developers behind the project say Victors is inspired by the Hamptons - the upmarket New York seaside community known for its affluent residents - and will offer a menu of modern American sharing plates including burgers, sushi and raw bar platters.
The plans outline a new 'Riviera' style outdoor seating area with canopy shelter together with new signage and branding. Approval for the outdoor seating and canopy is expected by the end of the month and approval for the signage to follow in April.
