A record-breaking 120 venues are taking part in NE1 Newcastle Restaurant Week this January, offering more choice than ever to diners wanting to take advantage of cut-price deals.
Among them are 11 newcomers to the twice-yearly event which are creating special menu deals to showcase what they do. They include both recently-opened and relaunched restaurants which have new cuisine, a new look or even a new home to show off.
Restaurant Week, running January 16-22, has become a hugely popular way for diners to try out top city restaurants without breaking the bank. Others like to revisit old favourites and among the venues taking part in the event are regulars, such as Blackfriars, Sachins and 21, which have been involved since its launch in 2011.
