Eating and Drinking
Newcastle's tastes have moved a long way from the traditional gargantuan bread rolls called "stottie cakes" - you're more likely to find them drizzled with olive oil and stuffed with Parma ham and chargrilled vegetables these days. At the budget end of the market Italian, Indian and Chinese food dominates the scene, while at the top end of the scale the city has attracted some top-class chefs. The Quayside and the streets around it are where the most fashionable hangouts are situated. For Chinese food , check out Stowell Street in Chinatown where you'll find cheap all-you-can-eat buffets as well as more refined seafood restaurants. If you're counting the pennies, aim to eat early - many city-centre restaurants offer early bird/happy hour deals before 7pm, while others serve set lunches at often ludicrously low prices.
