House of Tides in Newcastle upon Tyne

I need to start by saying that this is the best meal I've ever eaten. I was also a fine dining waiter in a former life. From the amazing olives at the bar reception, right to the end of the meal everything was delicious. The casual atmosphere around the dress code has a downside in the casual service, this is where I think they still need to find a better balance with this. The themes of the food for me were attention to detail and balance and that was stunning. I would recommend it still ans as a dining experience, it was excellent. Is crumbing down too formal for this place? I don't think it should be.

Just fantastic food and service.

First time in Newcastle and wanted to visit this restaurant and was not disappointed. Beautiful building, knowledgeable and friendly staff and a tasting menu with wines to remember. Top marks and would happily return.

Good service , good wine , good location & good food

I visited House of Tides with friends for and chose the 7-course tasting menu. We opted for the wine pairing and the additional cheese course too…we wanted the full experience. The venue is located on the quay within a beautiful old building. There’s a bar on the ground floor while the restaurant is on the first. On the way in and out, the bar area was empty, so lacked any atmosphere for first and last impressions. The service was ok, everyone was informative about the food and drinks, but I think we were served by so many different people, it felt less of a personal experience versus other tasting menu experiences I’ve had. Not one server asked if we had enjoyed the food, or checked if everything was ok when the whole table didn’t eat one of the desserts. The food was a mixed bag, I enjoyed four of the seven courses, both desserts were not nice and couldn’t finish either of them (I’ve never not eaten a dessert in my life for context), so was disappointed. Most of the wine pairings were good, and the sommelier was very informative. I expected to be wowed by the experience and the food here, but both three friends and I were underwhelmed by both, particularly considering the nearly £270 per person bill.

The tasting menu at House of Tides is a gabulous gastronomic experience rather than a normal meal. We enjoyed a memorable dinner for a special occasion, but if you are a big eater then you may need to get some chips on the way home.

Very interesting building. Very good service. The dining room is very spacious with most tables by the windows. The menu was well elaborated with a special note to the black truffle croissant and the rhubarb donut dessertz which were top of class.

Good and nice place I like it too much

Another fantastic visit to House of Tides, first time for my partner and he was certainly impressed. Great that the menu changes every month. All the courses were exceptional and such a nice environment to dine in. Staff are great and make it a nice relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend

A Fantastic fine dining experience amazing flavours my wife and I loved it We’ll be back! Thanks Guys

Every element of this was exceptional 👏

Dinner House of Tides, Quayside, Newcastle Celebrating 10 years and still going strong. A multi award winning restaurant on the banks of the Tyne,in a Grade I listed 17th century merchant house. Looks can be deceiving as when we looked through the window earlier while passing,it looked empty. We didn't realise that was the bar and the restaurant was upstairs. It was a good job we booked as it was full to capacity. The ground floor is like an old pub where you can have a pre-dinner drink.The dining room is on the first floor, with a view out over the river. The menu is a simple choice. Well, it's a set five course tasting menu £98. Having said that, they have changed it slightly as there's also a seven-course from February £130. Snacks were a Jeruselum Artichoke Dashi Custard and a mouth-watering Croissant,black garlic,winter truffle. Sourdough Bread with whipped toasted sunflower seed butter. Salt Baked & BBQ Swede * Goats cheese mousse,hazelnut,kale Whitby Crab,butternut squash,coriander, curry & spiced granola. Salt Aged Beef Tartare with Lincolnshire poacher.* Served with a Beef Fat Brioche on the side. Hen of the Woods,smoked & pan-roasted, truffled potato puree, hazelnuts & chive. Star of the show,Main course Rare breed pork,belly & loin,bok choy,onion & black garlic. Desserts. Yorkshire Rhubarb * Dark chocolate & orange crémeux,coffee & praline. *These were extra dishes from the new menu. The kitchen technique is good, and the service was charming, attentive yet relaxed, and friendly. Strong Michelin star cooking and reasonable value.

Building is superb and near the old Cooperage. Original Brick and wood and appropriate non fussy tables and chairs give a relaxing feel Atmosphere is just right and the lighting also perfect The service is faultless and the food is incredible. Taster menu was a journey of culinary delight with a lot of artistry involved Great wines and lovely staff

Nice tasting menu. Nicely compiled on local ingredients and products. The mushroom "Hen of the Woods" was probably the best of the whole tasting menu. We were disappointed with the "Whitby Crab" and the wife also had bones or pieces of crab shell in it. The service was "OKish", we appreciated the involvement of the very young staff (apparently still students in the industry), but sometimes they quite unnecessarily took away the butter with the bread or for a change they didn't quite synchronise the food delivery with the wine pairing so that one didn't have an empty glass or plate anymore. The sommelier, Matthew, was top notch and really lifts the whole restaurant up!!!

(This experience was a few years ago - so I can’t comment if portion size has changed since - this whole review is based solely on the tasting menu - cannot comment for a La carte) (Also maybe one important note - I was not drinking - if you pair the wine with the tasting menu I can only assume you’d be more full up than I was) I’m afraid I can’t agree with those saying just because it’s tasty food, that these joke size portions fill you up. I’d be lying if I said the food isn’t amazing, it really is great food, but the portions ruined it for me. I left still hungry and contemplating getting food from somewhere else, after we must have spent over £200 on food that’s a bit of a joke. I know fine dining portions are small, but I did expect them to get maybe a little bigger as we got closer to ‘main dishes’, but instead it got to the point where we were sat there in tears laughing, they would have 3 people come out, serve it super nicely, tell you what super special food it is, to just reveal yet another dish, which on a huge plate reveals a single bite size piece in the middle. I laughed more at the portions than I have at a comedy show so at least I got comedy out of it. I have nothing bad to say about anyone who works there, everyone was super professional and nice, only the portions were the problem, however as I went for food… That’s kinda a huge problem Also for regular Michelin goers who are more used to portion size like this, even my father who has been to numerous Michelin star restaurants said it’s the smallest portions he’d seen too, and was laughing just as much as me having my first ‘Michelin’ experience. So please even if you expect them to be small, expect smaller.

Food was great but the service has definitely dropped. Went for the food and wine pairing and it was rushed, staff even getting it wrong.

My first Michelin star experience was unforgettable. You walk in thinking “this won’t fill me up” and leave completely satisfied.

The food is excellent, well balanced flavors, but very small portions, excellent service. The only downside is that you are served 6 courses and you are outside again after just over 2 hours. It's going way too fast in my opinion I eat a lot in star restaurants because of the flavor combinations and you don't just go to eat but also have a relaxing evening out. If you drink a good bottle of wine that you have to down within 2 hours because they serve the courses like an express train, no, that is really a downside.

This was a return visit for a family celebration and we were all eagerly looking forward to a night of superb food. What a great disappointment!! We were first of all taken upstairs to an almost empty restaurant and shown our table BEFORE taking our coats. We had to ask for pre dinner drinks which were taken at the table. The food was nicely cooked but the helpings were meagre and served on cold plates. We had to rely on the doorsteps of sourdough bread to keep us topped up. We had to ask for the wine we had ordered whilst we were half way through our lamb course. The whole evening was soured by lack of attention. Sorry Mt Atkinson - we have been great fans of your food but WE WILL CERTAINLY NOT BE RETURNING.

Menu superb, and taste excellent. Wine flight was one of the best we have had and matched superbly. Service was also excellent. Perhaps only slight issue was it felt a little rushed compared to last visits, but we could have slowed it down. Overall brilliant.

Quite simply perfect, great food , amazing Sommelier Matthew . Really welcoming and attentive staff. I can’t recommend more highly. Highlights…the eel, lamb, fig bread and goldschatz from the wine flight. I was a lone diner on a work trip and came out having had a great experience. And ordered a bottle of one of the wines after the meal as every drink complemented every mouthful of great food. Lovely place.

Excellent food, very friendly staff and all round a wonderful experience.

Amazing. Great food, great service, brilliant staff. Honestly a great place to go to. Was here for my 50th and will be back again

A wonderful experience from the minute we arrived until leaving. The service was fabulous and the food incredibly delicious! Our sommelier Matthew and our head waiter Thomas made our experience so memorable 💖. The building was also joyful and steeped in history. House of Tides is a must for foodies! Thank you, House of Tides...

We went to House of Tides for their tasting menu on a rainy Friday night in Newcastle. The restaurant and bar are lovely and cosy and the staff were all very friendly and attentive. However, while the food was all very nice (even the mackerel which I’m not usually keen on) we found it all to be absolutely tiny. We’ve been lucky enough to eat at several Michelin starred restaurants over the years and we’ve never left any of them feeling hungry, but we did at House of Tides. Also, we felt quite rushed - we were all done within 90 minutes. For an experience that costs upwards of £300 we would’ve liked it to last longer and to have felt full at the end.

Enjoyed a wonderful meal in here on Saturday. Worth every penny. The food and service was exceptional. Highly recommend to anyone wanting an informal but very special night out.

The food was bland. Very over priced all I can say was the staff were very friendly but they would be charging that much. Avoid the place.

We came here in the beginning of October. The food is too salty in every dish except dessert.

We had such high expectations,unfortunately two of our courses from the taster menu were not good,over seasoned reduction,burnt black garlic... The service ,however was excellent and our sommelier was personable and knowledgeable. A very expensive experience overall,one which we shall not be repeating.

Imaginative tasting menu. Good service. Could have let us know what wine and aperitifs were out of stock before we chose them

What an outstanding experience! Every single element of the greeting, service and food was exceptional. Thank you so much to Matthew who looked after us, whose knowledge of the food, wine and the restaurant’s history was very impressive. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening.!

Had the tasting menu with my wife with the wine pairing. The food was unbelievable as we'd expected it would be. However, the staff were just as impressive. Loved it. If you're getting the wine pairing, don't go for 4 pints before hand then get a cocktail when you arrive. Rumour has it, that would make so absolutely mortal by the 3rd course.

We hadn't been here for a few years, so were excited to be going back. Unfortunately, the meal didn't come up to scratch this time, especially the meat course, which was so tough it was inedible. I have never before experienced that in a Michelin starred place. The oyster used to have drama with smoke swirling etc, but no more - just a few pebbles! The fish was nice, the crab a bit overwhelmed by the sauce. Fantastic bread and butter, but odd to have it named as a course. The pudding was quite good, but a bit ordinary. Maybe their energy is going into the new place. Super wines, and reasonably priced too.

From the moment we stepped in we were looked after superbly by the attentive and informative young waiting staff. We selected the 7-course tasting menu with the wine pairing and it was stunning. The attention to detail was magnificent, the food was just amazing, who'd have thought fermented asparagus could be heavenly? This was just one taste sensation amongst one dish on the tasting menu. I can't quite remember all the dishes, but the stand out for me was oyster dish. There were two desserts, which were a bit too sweet for me, and I don't have a sweet tooth, so my husband lucked out there. On reflection, I perhaps should have selected the cheese board at an additional cost. The sommelier was just fantastic, he was only a young man, but his knowledge and friendly manner was a joy. Whilst the food was amazing, the building just historically beautiful, the stand out for me was the staff. Each and everyone, were worthy of special note, I cannot remember any of their names, but the service and attention to detail was top top top class and brilliant. I think I best end this review now as I have run out of superlatives.

Although the ambiance was lovely,service efficient,staff personable and knowledgeable,ultimately we were disappointed. The crab was overwhelmed by the many flavours it was paired with and left an oddly " sweet' taste in the mouth The beef,though meltingly tender was totally overpowered by black pepper,the garlic puree was bitter and overcooked and the puree over - salted.The snacks ,mackerel and dessert were a triumph however The evening was memorable and very pleasant but I doubt we shall be back.

We went for a lunch sample menu on a Saturday. The food was perfectly balanced and not one course disappointed. The portions initially may look small, but with the number of courses and the flavours that come through, it is satisfying and scrumptious, and we did not leave hungry, like some people have mentioned. I feel people making those comments don't actually appreciate beautifully crafted and balanced meals. I also chose the additional cheese board, which I expected to be quite small, but it wasn't. There was a very good amount of cheese for the extra cost. I would definitely opt for it again. We opted for the wine pairing to go with the courses, and they were perfectly matched to either complement or cut through the flavours. The staff member explaining the wine was very professional and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was great, in the gorgeous wonky listed building. It has been decorated and celebrated well. Love the exposed brick and the large fireplace. The staff were knowledgeable, kind, and very attentive. We will definitely be going back for an evening meal.

Absolutely stunning menu. A great experience all round. Just wish we could get a table more often!

Very expensive not sure if it's worth it, but it was an experience.

Amazing experience, great food, wonderful service, a fantastic evening - thank you so much for looking after us!

Having wanted to visit for a long time I wasn’t left disappointed. A very good experience overall. The food was exceptional and so many different tastes to savor. Great customer service and a lovely relaxed environment. We went on a Saturday afternoon. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning

Excellent taster menu and fabulous service.

Attended this establishment whilst pregnant and made my dietary requirements very clear to the restaurant manager weeks before arriving and on the day to all staff serving our table including the restaurant manager once again. After seeing the tasting menu upon arrival I explained that most of the items were not suitable for my condition and asked for a cheeseboard instead. The manager insisted I have a vegan menu for the same cost with lamb for the main as a slight alteration. After reluctantly agreeing we proceeded upstairs to our table, where the manager forgot to offer to take my jacket or share a stool for my bag. When the drinks came the table was wet and no one cleaned it. The bread crumbs weren't swept up either and plates were served on top of the very visible mess. The staff wore shoes that rattled the floorboards as they marched up and down the aisle and interfered with the atmosphere. And finally when the lamb arrived it was bleeding and pink! When we sent it back and asked to leave the manager had the arrogance to bring the full bill as if the service had been satisfactory. He struggled to sincerely apologise and when we emailed to make a formal complaint and request our 3 digit deposit back we were ignored. After having experienced the service and quality of Michelin restaurants all over the world I strongly rate this establishment well below that standard. House of Tides does not deserve a Michelin and the poisoning of pregnant women's food is a public health disaster. Very disappointed.

My first Michelin Star experience and I wasn't disappointed. The level of service was the best I've had and the food was out of this world. I would highly recommend

I'm sad I can't give more stars all round. The fabulous young, super professional and knowledgeable staff were an absolute delight, they happily and patiently explained all the dishes perfectly. The young Sommelier was a joy, I loved hearing about the food/wine pairings as much as experiencing them. The pairing with the Whitby Crab dish was phenomenal! (Sadly I can't remember any of the wines). The food was stupendous, especially the Lindesfarne Oyster with fermented asparagus....I could live on this for the rest of my life!! I'm singling out this dish and I don't know why as each plate was an intriguing, inventive and astonishing flavour explosion. I wish I'd had the cheese board: the 2 x desserts on the tasting menu were too sweet for me, my husband lucked out however 😆 The atmosphere was elegantly casual and I think this works so well in this beautiful building...one of the ceilings (white panelled plaster encrusted decor) dates back to the mid to late 1500's (I think I overheard?). The windows in the rear upstairs lounge area were gorgeous and oozing history, Our visit was a treat for our anniversary and I'd happily return and recommend it to anyone and everyone.

We visited on a Friday night for our wedding anniversary. We were made very welcome and I can't speak highly enough of the service we received. It was attentive and informative without being intrusive and as spectacular as the food was ( and it really was!!) the service was out of this world. The staff even went as far as writing us a card for our anniversary, which unfortunately I forgot to pick up off the table at the end of the night :( we had the 7 course tasting menu which was out of this world. Go for the food, stay for the service. Shout out to Sophie. Thanks for having us.

Had six course lunch menu for £85. Snacks OK, followed by a very small Lindisfarne oyster. From then on rest of tastings went from bad to worse. Each dish was extremely salty, sour, bitter and sweet but these flavours were not balanced. Portion sizes were very small, even for a tasting menu, so two baskets of sourdough bread were welcome. Pork dish was sous vide and consistency jelly-like; Pollock tasteless and shellfish bisque barely touched the plate. All in all a very disappointing experience for the price.

My wife and I had a lovely time on Saturday the 10th June 2023. Excellent food and impeccable service! We cannot praise nor recommend House Of Tides enough and shall be returning here the next time we visit Newcastle! Thanks again

Wonderful experience today for my friends and I, food was amazing and the staff are warm, friendly and very professional. Hope to visit again soon

Was absolutely excellent. Had the tasting menu. The food is exceptional and the quality of this food will be hard to beat. The taste and textures combine give such an experience. Service was outstanding and informative. The best in any restaurant I’ve ever eaten in. The attention to detail is leagues apart from anywhere else. An all round great experience and can easily see why they have the Michelin Star. 10/10

Not quite the experience I was expecting but great food

Thought the extras were incredibly overpriced. The reception at the bar area was underwhelming and I felt it would have been nice if the host girl had offered to take my coat. We ordered the tasting menu with wine and I felt the extra for the cheese and the red wine was massively overpriced and with a 12.5 percent service charge I didn't feel overly enthusiastic. The penultimate dessert didn't come with a wine pairing which felt like an omission given every other course did and the final white wine was honestly undrinkable. Mixed feelings leaving this as the venue upstairs was lovely and the upstairs waiting team were great, food and wine just didn't live up to expectations or price and I would not recommend the extra cheese and wine for the price. shame

Two of us enjoyed the tasting menu last week. the procession of dishes was tremendous: some really curious and interesting combination of flavours. Clearly, a competent kitchen with great direction. The serving staff were excellent: pleasant and engaging, professional and well trained. They clearly took pride in their work and in keeping the customers happy. My particular thanks to them

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Exceptional food, a real art form and never tasted anything like it. Staff were awesome, very well drilled and trained. Great knowledge of the food and wine. The food could not be faulted. Everything was just a huge wow… We had a great time and would recommend. Kenny came and said high too. Would definately go back. Well done all

We booked this restaurant ahead of a visit to Newcastle. The only reservation we had was the references to table turning in the booking information. Perhaps coming from the London area we are more sensitive to it. There was no need to worry. We were never rushed even though it was a Saturday night. The food was excellent as was the wine pairing We were well looked after all night by our waiter Tom. If you want a high end restaurant in Newcastle you will not be disappointed by this place. For what we had we thought it was excellent value for money.

Absolutely amazing food and service celebrated my husbands birthday, perfect evening, and experience food was next level.

Lunch at this excellent restaurant was a gift from son and his partner to my daughter and me. All the staff were welcoming, attentive and friendly whilst being extremely knowledgeable about the food and wine. We did not go for the wine pairing and opted to ask for recommendation which was a really good white Rioja. The food was delicious and whilst one might think the portions small we felt suitably full by the end. The courses were so tasty we couldn’t pick one favourite between us! Yes, it’s expensive but for a treat (birthdays and a special one to boot) it was a lovely experience and worth saving up for.

First time being in a Michelin ⭐ restaurant and really enjoyed the service and the food. The service was 10/10 and I mostly appreciated that the menu was fish oriented which you would expect. Nothing compares with the quality, the thought and the effort they put into the dishes.

Beautiful and delicious food. You could really pick out the flavours. All served in relaxed and comfortable surroundings. Staff very knowledgeable. Think prices are reflective of their Michelin star status. A very pleasant experience. Would highly recommend.

Another superb meal and presentation.

Such a special place, utterly stunning food and fantastic service. You are made to feel very welcome and cared for. It's exquisitely decorated, the rest rooms even have a spa like quality with oil burners emitting gorgeous essential oil fragrances. The tasting menu was beautiful balanced and bursting with flavour. I would 100% recommended a visit for a special occasion. Will definitely be returning and trying their sister restaurant Solstice. Thank you House of Tides for an incredibly special evening.

Booked House of Tides for a honeymoon dinner, & so glad I did! Matthew was our server, & was so kind & informative of every dish that was served to us. House of Tides showed us how they earned their Michelin star. 10/10 will be recommending to anyone traveling up to Newcastle area. Pleasant staff & a wonderful tasting menu! What a way to start 2023! Thank you House of Tides!

Never written a review but felt compelled to. Really uninspiring dishes except 1 that was unbelievable, sea bass with curried mussels. Really over priced- paid £780 for 4 of us to be really disappointed. Been to Hjem which is another Michelin star in Northumberland and it knocks house of tides out of the water, just miles better in every single way. The service was ok- one young waitress was crying when she came over with the dishes after being told off for going to the wrong table.. everyone makes mistakes! Would never go again based on my experience- wasn’t awful but certainly not worth the money at all. No sense of experience either.

It's a few weeks since we ate at House of Tides and it has taken me a while to work out why I was underwhelmed by it. It was a cold December night and the building seemed to echo that. It is rather bare and...

High expectations - surpassed. Excellent customer service and fantastic food. Ambiance just right and a skillfully chosen wine pairing made for a perfect evening. Highly recommended.

Amazing birthday treat for our family. Impeccable service and relaxed dining experience. Exquisite food, and no problem dealing with the dietary requirements of our group. The whole table were very happy. Definitely highly recommend.

The rescued, listed building is a credit to Kenny Atkinson on its own before experiencing the amazing food. You are greeted at ground level for pre-dinner drinks and menu presentation. The cocktails are excellent although the Kir Royale was a little flat. Then you are...

We visited for lunch on November 18th 2022. The food was outstanding, and the combination of flavours was the best I have ever tasted. The service was excellent. I was disappointed that the drinks were not opened at the table - not good etiquette.

Highly Reccomend! Beautiful food, great service, great night.

Great until things went wrong - but the way problems were dealt with left an awful aftertaste. Up until the main course it was a genuinely good Michelin level tasting menu. However the main course was cold- no grey area … I understand duck needs...

Liked this place a lot. Pity I can't afford to go more often. Had the piscetarian tasting menu and my partner had the meaty version of the same. All excellent. We also paid to have wine pairing with every dish which was well worth it and I recommend going for it. Really good sommelier, and value for money.

I took my friend for her 60th birthday.We were both looking forward to this after reading a few good reviews. Avoid this place! The food was not edible. The 2 desserts however were very nice. The service was outstanding. Very overpriced for the minature portion that you get.Also check your receipt as they added on an extra £35 for suggested service. Will definitely not be going back and would not recommend. Should have gone to a restaurant and had a 3 course meal and drinks all night would have been a lot cheaper and we would have been full.Came out of House of tides starving. Do not waste your money Don't know how they get away with this sample menu and charging what they did.

Paid a visit here a week ago and I must say I was sorely disappointed. The best course was the sourdough bread and butter. Found the courses either extremely tasteless or saturated in a strong lime flavour. Also opted for the cheese course with bland cheese and cardboard crackers. While my partner was still eating the waitress came over and whipped the dish away. He even said to her " can I take those peices of cheese please were still eating ". One of my vegetarian courses was cubed beetroot with pickles on top and another was a single price of pasta ravioli with 4 sliced peices of truffle on top. Another was a bright green tasteless risotto. Would I recommend? No I'm sorry

Family birthday celebrations with a dining experience masterclass. The mix of flavours and textures were out of this world. We had the tasting menu and matched wines and the pairing were perfect, all served by super friendly, knowledgable staff. It’s not cheap but it is...

Simply Superb, got to be a culinary once in a lifetime event

Amazing food and wine plus excellent service. The staff are young and very well trained 👏.

To celebrate our wedding anniversary we had lunch, the tasting menu. It was amazing every course was outstanding. The roasted monkfish was my favourite. Downstairs seating was accessible and all the staff were friendly and helpful.

I wasn’t sure what to expect but came away impressed with the whole experience. Extremely attentive staff and impeccable service from entering to leaving. I thought the menu was perfect and the quality of food stunning. For me it was definitely a fantastic experience and...

Beautiful experience, attentive staff. Loved every course. This is not somewhere to go to 'just eat' but is what it advertises, a tasting menu which certainly delivered that, intense flavours through every course. Expensive certainly but justifiably so.

Always impressed. Expensive but worth it.

Nice food but limited, to say bread and butter / potatoes is a course is pretentious, I have been to other mitchelin star tasting meals and this was poor in comparison, perhaps take a look at what other restaurant deliver, - recommend Kitchens as a very good example! service was good.

Have to agree with some of the reviews on here. No atmosphere. Glum staff. Food is good but not worth the £210 per head paid
