Side Cafe

Great little cafe with honest food, coffee, atmosphere, service and prices down at Quayside. There is also an independant cinema and gallery next door run by the owners of the cafe.

Heartbreak Soup was a great place but unfortunately it's closed down!

I'd highly recommend Raval Luxury Restaurant & Bar, just off the Gateshead side of the Tyne Bridge.
